I roll my hair and condition it. No more relaxers.

Her story is my story and I cried. She should know that she is ridiculously beautiful. Beauty is in the heart and I felt her heart.

What book is that with the pictures?

I live in Eastern Europe, crochet hair is a fashion choice here (the society is 99% white, only recently we started to have some representation of other skin colors and cultures, but it's still tiny :(). In my city there is one salon owned by a black lady and her version of truth (sarcasm here) is that "it is supposed to hurt, bumps are normal, if your skin hurts/burns/whatever just use this and that cosmetic". After my first two months with crochet curls I lost so much hair above my forhead :((. Until I watched your video I thought that every single girl with crochet curls goes through this pain and braids pulling out my hair from my scalp are normal. Thank you so much for recording this! Btw, I have a question - I know that having crochet curls while being white in the US would be seen as cultural appropriation. Would it still be the case in a part of the world where we didn't have slavery/colonies etc.? I have no one to ask here, the place I had my hair done at is black-person-owned and employs only women of colour and the service is extremely expensive - so I guess their opinion would be that it's not a problem if a white girl has this hairstyle because they make money of it (well, the owner does).

Well said! 👏🏾

This was my experience since I was a kid. After braids, I'd be in pain for 3 days. I was told I was too "tender headed", as if experiencing pain is some kind of disability. I have since gotten locs that i maintain myself because I dont want a loctician over twisting my roots.

Meanwhile I braid my own hair without extensions so my hair has been growing down my waist❤

F u KZbin u let black talk bad about us i need to sue u

Priviledge allows people to do whatever comes to mind ☝🏿☝🏿

When will stylist stop this practice!!??

🎉😲👉🏾I have personally watched hateful African hair braiders snatch black American children and women’s hair out while interlocking locs & braiding hair!!! Never leave your precious children alone at their salons. Hairstyling should not hurt our children 😢! We need to leave the plantation with that mentality of popping kids with combs & scaring little boys with hot or too sharp clippers! 😢🧒🏾👧🏻👧🏿👧🏽👶🏽👦🏻😢 steam from hot combs and flatirons on scalps & ears isn’t a funny memory for most of us. It was a way our parents abused us! I suffered many intentional burns & hairloss. But couldn’t get help because people thought it was normal or I wouldn’t sit still. 😢

I would of understand the lady better about burning scalp if she didn't have that purple chemical hair dye in her hair.

Thank you for the video. I love my natural hair, I'm so proud of my natural hair. It's my crown 👑

As a white woman at 30yo who has styled her natural, curly hair that will never stay straight over 30 minutes no matter WHAT, thank you for letting everyone be part of the natural hair movement. I’ve been through so much hair hate, especially during the 2000’s for not having straight hair… because of this damaging my hair constantly when I was younger trying to fit the “norm” or “beauty standard”. Why can’t we all embrace our natural hair? I am honestly so envious of 4c hair and straight hair, I think the variety is interesting and tells about your ancestry. But I also love myself for who I am, and even though my hair texture isn’t usually labeled as “white hair”, I am in fact, white. The fact some women say can’t include white women when I can’t do anything about the fact my hair is naturally curly/wavy makes me feel more inclined to get more damage to my hair to get it straight. I don’t get why everyone can’t be included. Everyone, of all races, is beautiful, with many different hair types that should all be embraced. I’m happy for the past decade I got past trying to get my hair straight and let my waves and curls flow, I get compliments all the time and my hair is finally healthy and somewhat long.

Girl you wait 4 days that's long how the heck did you sleep. I got mine done the afternoon and took them out the very night. It was horrible 😢

Great video. Check us out on the Afro Hair Science. Outstanding points❤❤❤❤

Very educational

This is a great video ❤❤❤

I hope they talk about putting relaxers in your hair and how that’s not necessarily great

who cares

Im white but my dads mixed so I got a huge afro and big lips. I could only go to school with it contained because if not I'd be pulled out for being a "distraction", and i was teased so much for my lips and puffy afro, so to all of the people saying we dont experienced discrimination I'm proof.

Awesome video. This was so informative on awareness of caring for your hair and expectations your protective style experience.

Great video. I wish I’d seen this years ago. Had locs for over 20yrs, diagnosed with scarring alopecia, BUT, my hair is trying to regrow. Any suggestions on natural styles or salons in NYC? 🤷🏾‍♀️

Omg this is heartbreaking

I discover her on the mode magazine " Paulette" and she is positive

this was quite a good two-part documentary, it gave me a lot to think about

Natural hair is very easy to manage. U just don’t know how to manage it if u think it’s hard to manage

To ME its just hair all hair is just hair just a string growing out your head

I mean as you should feel lesser than for not wearing your natural hair. Because your lesser than of your natural self...

If people who are not in other communities can be allies to them. I think not necessarily in the community ; I'd want to be a voice and stand up for anyone that is being discriminated against because of their hair. The more voices we have to go against the wrong the more successful. Like supporting acceptance in the work place and schools for all hair styles. Teaching about micro aggressions. Education is key for sure.

This whole documentary is prejudice..youre doing the exact thing that you dont like others to do to you.

These styles got us into this foolishness! Even crochet is terrible if the braider braids tight!😒

🎉It’s not healthy & you can’t convince me that putting caustic chemical on hair is healthy! The dangerous chemicals in it stuff goes into the bloodstream and builds up over time in the body. 😮 It’s a high risk to take with your health. Don’t pay 💰 for your own death ☠️!!! That also means watch what you eat, drink, & bathe with. The water is even contaminated now. Look at Flint, parts of Louisiana, Ohio!!!! 😮 Don’t give up and into doing it because 🥴 “We’re all going to die someday…. Everything has chemicals, blah blah BS.” 🥴. Save your own lives. And save your money 💰. Toxic products ARE avoidable!!! Find a better 100% natural alternative. JUST THROW THE CHEMICALS AWAY!!!!! One at a time. That’s what I’m doing everyday till all that crap is out of my life. Some things have been hard to part with but with 2 minutes of research 🧐 and I can find an all natural alternative.

Make sure you drink LOTS, LOTS, AND LOTS of water for hair growth and strength! Drink more water than anything else! Especially more than coffee, soda, and alcohol. The more I drunk water along with some intermittent fasting, the more strong my hair became and more it has grown.

Nutrition, naturals are the most resilient on Earth. The body temple/antenna of Source

I love this. However, for me, I wouldn't do it because hair is sacred, and when others touch your hair, you get a residue from them that stays with you until cleansing. To me, all hair types are beautiful.

Why are we still trying to "manage" Afro hair? isn't that's how we got here, trying to "manage" it with straightening and relaxing? The best thing about Afro hair is you doesnt need managing stop trying to make it do things it doesnt do. Grab your pick and go lol

Never mind

I wanna go to being a relaxed hair girly🥹

I am black and white and I have long curly hair and yeah

yes of course they can its literally just hair

The fact that this girl born in France calls French people 'they' shows that she is a racist and refuses to.assimilate in the country that opened her arms wide to welcome her parents

Natural hair is not just about skin color, it's about hair. I feel the natural hair is hair that hasn't been dyed, product heavy, damaged by straightening, etc. Its stepping in to your own natural hair that you were born with and celebrating it, being comfortable with it, and letting it be that part of you you were born with. Be proud of the hair you have. It wonderful! 😁❤❤❤

Gets to the point at 0:52 crochet braids and box braids

Wigs have been holding me downnn

The only thing I got from this video is that most women who experience hair breakage and pain from getting protective styles should just not get protective styles because let’s keep it real here.… Most people don’t have access to a hair studio like this or even a hair stylist that knows how to properly install protective styles without causing a bunch of damage. Or most of us don’t have the money to pay for premium services like this. Maybe one day when I’m making enough money I’ll be able to go to a nice salon like this but the last time I ever even seen one of these in person it was like 300 bucks+ for a service. I’ve seen some charging upwards of 700 bucks per service. No hate, they are doing a service that is longer and more tedious that is going to have great benefits on your hair but not everyone can afford that….

Some naturals can be so self righteous, as many of the women in this video showed. Especially Ms. Lady with the freckles. Hair super dry

What is _white hair?_

Lol THEY DONT EVEN HAVE HAIR THEY CLEARLY HAVE FUR DOG 🐕 FUR HORSE 🐎 FUR MONKEY FUR 🦧
