In my school they force us to cut our hair calling it untidy

Wow I loved the narrarators voice & this documentary 😢 😍 👏🏽 Afro power ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽

Kinky Hair is Absolutely Beutiful I love the Crown the Creator Gave Me....❤💯

No one talks about this Tignon law thing enough! If you really think about it ? If they legally forced black women to cover their hair just to diminish the attraction that the white men had for them then by default who do you think the real beauty standard belongs to? If they literally placed a law in place , and constantly still IS intentionally using poor representation of black women all over the media then this is a scam to the entire world to condition everyone including black women themselves that they are undesirable! Another thing, I remember growing up as a kid , when I didn’t even understand race or none of this foolishness, I somehow always thought dark skin women were extremely beautiful! It’s like they looked like dolls to me and I always preferred darker dolls but my mom always bought us white dolls by default. Slavery and racism has literally destroyed the world and the minds of many, I’m telling y’all the truth was stripped away and I will always believe that it was all done because they saw how stunning and strong black people naturally were ! The entire European beauty standard thing is only a matter of conditioning! The world has been conditioned to think that European beauty is the epitome but that does not literally actually mean that it is! Think about it and y’all will get what I’m saying …

Great video!!

❤💪🏾✊🏾

I am not 25 seconds in an i`m already confused. Black does not mean African. Hammites and Shemmites are completely different. Africans have specific tribes with Hair styles. Blacks are Shemmites from Europe known as Moors. They had their own hair styles. Completely different.

Look like three chia grown plant.😂😂

It's crazy people have tricked us into believing something as beautiful as our hair should be hidden.

15:00 please make a video about males African discrimination....

Actually not only African or black woman but even us males. The society demands that black men have short cuts in professional so called places

Do Europeans ever do anything positive? I mean my God. Racism in africa wtfff

ALL THE OTHER 'RACES' WILL EVENTUALLY WANT TO HAVE WHAT WE HAVE, THAT INCLUDES OUR NATURAL HAIR. ELDER DELANO ASE'

You mostly focused on the history of black hair trough and after slavery. But you didn't explained how it all started in Africa.

Hate that comb…I hate it

LOOK UP ' ULOTRICHI '

Wow just seen a picture of Dr. Tommie Smith, He is from my hometown We are all very proud of him

You did an amazing job curating this!

Big chopped because my hair was damaged ready to grow it out and love my hair

I am compelled to speak for those of us who have "good hair". That somehow it makes us "less Black." That it means we are "better than." You know what it really means? That elaborate braiding styles/locs/dreads/twists are OUT. Thin hair also means weaker hair. So, while many Black women display their crowning glory in all its splendor, take note of that minority who cannot. WHO has the good hair now?

...it just irritates me that a law had to be put in place to begin with for something that is a natural attribute. Can you imagine if there was a prejudice against blue, brown, or green eyes? The idea is absurd! It is such an indignity!

I AM WATCHING YOUR VIDEO BECAUSE I JUST HEARD ABOUT THE YOUNG HIGH SCHOOL BLACK STUDENT WHO WAS SUBSPENDED FROM BECAUSE OF HIS HAIR STYLE! I AM A FORMER HAIR STYLIST OF 15+ YEARS AND I REMEMBER A YOUNG BLACK WOMAN WAS FIRED FROM HER PROFESSIONAL JOB BECAUSE SHE WORE HER HAIR IN A BRAIDED HAIR STYLE EVEN THOUGH IT WAS STYLED IN WHAT WAS CALLED A BOB HAIR STYLE!...A STYLE THAT WAS POPULAR AMONG WHITE GIRLS THAT THEY WERE WEARING DURING THAT TIME PERIOD! I REMEMBER BACK IN THE DAY THAT BLACK PARENTS WERE TELLING THEIR BLACK DAUGHTER'S NOT TO BRING BACK A BLACK BOY OR MAN HOME WITH KINKEY HAIR! NOW HERE WE ARE IN 2023 AND WHITE PEOPLE ARE STILL TRYING TO CONTROL US ON HOW WE LOOK AND WHO WE ARE MARRIED TOO!...I AM JUST SAYING!...GOD BLESS OUR BLACK HAIR! 😇

I love this video Thanks

Love this! Absolutely LOVED this

One thing for certain two things for sure is black women are going to find a way to show their creativity..

why aren't bald women ever included in the natural conversation?

Alllllll of them!!!❤

Wow!!!

I LOVE our hair, from mini braids, locs, cornrows, twists, Bantu knots, etc. our styles are endless. I wouldn't trade my 4C hair for anything. Straight hair can't handle our styles and their hair is boring.

Brilliant video Thanks for the needed history lesson

Very interesting video…as a Black American woman, I can attest, and the societal changes we experienced here in the USA reflects in my having worn my hair relaxed for most of my adult life. But wanting more authentic life hairstyle, I cut off all my relaxed hair I’d worn for over 30 years, and loc’d it up 8 years ago. One thing I wish you’d done, being an African man yourself, is focus us in on the hairstory in Africa during these same periods of time and also other countries in the Americas where slavery was in place - the spread of the African diaspora is so much more broadly represented in places like Brazil, Columbia, the Caribbean… USA gets enough attention. That would be very enlightening.

Queretaro would be cooler for you. I am a brown woman born in 1942 Chicago, and you are correct. God will take care.I left the USA in 2021. Move to Mexico. Work online on retirement income. YOU still must be ALERT to deadly criminals in all occupations. My parents and Chicago showed me how to survive in an honest way, and be moral and responsible. I love you. I live in Mexico, and I did buy emergency pesos, when i came here in 2021. Starting July 13, I will use my emergency pesos to pay rent for the next 5 months. My rent went from $673 per months to$874 per month for the same apartment, that I love. It does include all utilities, wifi, maid and security, and 100% beautifully furnished. My pensions comes on a USA debit card, and ATM fees are refunded. I always stock up on 6 months preps. I paid $1900 per month for everything when i left the deadly and expensive USA at 79 in 2021. I do not want a Mexican banl account for it would be hard for my American family to get my savings. Queretaro, but always be alert anywhere. Merida is too hot, and Acapulco had too many earthquakes. Over 60 years coming to Mexico, all USA states., and all over the world on my own dime, Allah u Akbar. God is great. RIP everyone around the world. The dollar is falling in Mexico, so rents are higher each month. I was born in Chicago in 1942, then Oak Park, downtown, and last to Waukegan, before moving to Queretaro in 2021 at 79. Queretaro works for me. Safe, Cool, and I have local friends. Singaporean laws. Send all criminals from top to bottom to Ukraine and Sudan. Fentanyl tablet for all killers and rapists. Shave heads of males and females with felonies. Leave the USA. I worry about nothing, but that is how I am. I am retired, and at the age of 79 I do not need money from anyone, for I am a giver to non beggars, so they can help themselves. I do not like beggars, or scammers asking for loans or donations. Keep your USA income, and just visit the different countries on vacation time. Never depend on donations. Help non beggars help themselves. Do not use any drugs. Trust only GOD. Keep written, audio, and video journals. Be married, even if you have separate homes, if you want sex and a baby after 35 for women, and 45 for me. You need your own space. Queretaro works for me, after over 60 years visiting and living part time, and WORKING in the USA, Live where you can afford, and you are happy with the climate, safety etc. Send all criminals from the supreme court on down to Ukraine and the Sudan, Karma never loses an address. YOU will reap what you have sown. I moved to Queretaro on 11-2-2021, and I am loving this city, and have lived in the same beautiful apartment, since day 1. At 79, I will stay here, until I die, and I will never take a test, pills, or injections, for I know my body. I am too old for visa runs, and I do have a highly recommended man, that will work for me. to get the temp retirement visa. The people here have been super kind and respectful, and I am the same towards them. I do not have to walk, for I have many new friends with cars. I wish the best for both of you, and so happy, that I worked from 7-70, and my pension supports me much better , than in the USA and it is safer, cleaner, and $850 less per month. Mexico has been my favorite place, since I visited in 1962 at age 20, and fell in love with Acapulco, but not the 6 earthquakes, that I have experienced there and one hurricane. I do speak Spanish as a second language. I love my own chicken wings etc. lol All for now, and stay blessed and safe always. I can live anyplace in the world, but since I am more familiar with my next door neighbor(Mexico), i am comfortable here. I am USA Muslim, and Africans are everywhere. My DNA is African, First Nation, and Scottish. (grandfather). God has been great to me, and I am so thankful. All lives matter.... Let go and let God always.

All the outfits are outstanding, couples wearing matching coordination garments of fabrics, is royally extremely natural & traditional of our African Black Royalty!¡!👑💀👑

I hate when people disbelieve that Black women cannot grow their hair to any length. We've simply lost our way in an global Eurocentric society. Black women have the longest strongest & thickest hair on the planet. We have that distinction not Europeans Asians nor East Indians. See the women of the Chebe region & the Mbulantu who have the longest hair in the world. Our hair is fab because it allows us to survive below the equator without getting bone, brain, nor skin cancers. Once I stopped relaxing & using euro centric products & techniques, I grew my hair down my back in 3-months. My family saw me on zoom & all thought I had a weave or a wig. I had to fill them in... I used the techniques of the women in the Chebe region & the Mbulantu using olive oil, hair lotions, protective hair styles. When I want it straight & flowing, I just get a nondamaging DR Blowout, not to be mistaken for a Brazilian blow out.

Black hair is stunning. Never seen anything like it.

The Crown Act was needed...I have sported an Afro do for years, I have also used hair relaxer periodically. As a mature Black Woman my locks are still thick with salt/pepper color and form a much straighter natural Afro either way it's all good!💜

Wear your Crown with Love, wear your Crown with Joy, WEAR YOUR CROWN WITH PRIDE!!!!!

Beautiful ❤️

Unite Africa

Natural hair is beautiful and versatile.

Thank you for this great video 💜

damn no darkskins

Very much appreciated for this document on the Beautiful Black Hair. Thank you for this. Cause l remember as a kid in the seventies that wearing our hair in french braids are conrow of the African braids was forbidden in public schools Our community fought to change the rules. Overtime it was accepted in public schools today. I am proud of our natural hair textures. Cause you can wear it multiple ways. I love my natural hair and proud to wear it natural or straight. But mostly natural!!! All African American women are beautiful with their natural hair regardless if it's straight or natural. 😊

Very versatile hair though 😊👍🏾

Great video!

As a black woman who has struggled with accepting my beautiful hair texture who is now a happy natural girl I absolutely loved this hair journey video. Thank you for your hard work.

I think More and more black woman love their hair but black men love it and will date A a woman with naturally 4c hair without requiring it to look like 3c…..

God bless those children and their incredible talent. 💜🥰
