How our Obsession with BUNDLES Comes Back to Bite - Viral TikTok Indian Hair Video Reaction

[@eddiy335]

I wish we could have a honest conversation about this without black women getting butt hurt. Stay calling these lace fronts protective styles yet there literally ruining your skin and edges. Complaining how it takes to long to style your natural hair but spend 3.5 hours styling a wig. I understand some of us have awkward hair lengths and may feel self conscious about it but natural clip ins/weaves/wigs exist! Imagine how powerful it would be if we let go of this obsession with straight hair and wear our hair natural as a collective. That’s why I’m glad my mom never let me wear weave as a teen, she said if I wanted weave I’d have to pay for it myself. That made me want nothing else other than my natural hair.

[@franslam7398]

It's the same with the long straight blonde hair "but there's a whole tribe in Africa with blonde hair". I guarantee this tribe is not their influencers or the reason why they have long bone straight Swedish-blonde hair. It's a justification excuse but no one's ready for that👀

[@TaylorTetteh]

@UCv-iadpD40p6W8E9OKDrJPQ I think bw have heard plenty of times already that black men “do not like weave” were not wearing it to appeal to the bm. The weave and the wig wearing can stem from deep rooted self hatred, insecurities, texturism, laziness, following trends, seeking approval from society or social media etc. I honestly think there’s a lot of bw who haven’t been taught what it is or means to love ones hair and how beautiful it really is. When society pushes a certain look and beauty standard many people gravitate to it. It’s not necessarily having anything to do with appealing to a man.

Black people's issue (For people who's hair is not growing at the normal 4-6 inch per year rate) is trying to preserve straight or braided styles by Not wetting it enough! Your hair can grow like this too! Granted it won't be limp and straight, it will grow up and outward. Daily water in the hair and scalp is key. You could add some hair growth oils for support for real growth issues as well but the "real" "secret" is water!

I've had 4 big chops in my life, and I see a huge growth difference from the year after a big chop with once per week water in my scalp/hair and once I started daily water. More water in scalp = more hair. 💕 Granted, my braid styles dont last long at all....so much new growth. 😂But, I'll sacrifice a style or my hair "reverting" for hair growth...anyday!

Lol When people loc their hair, there's no more "fear of water" or hair reverting hence much of the reason for long locs, in most Black people who get them. We just need to educate ourselves, unlearn the disdain that we've been taught in order to become perpetual consumers and get back to love of self.

So when you say something like we buy that or that's the bundles we like or cut them off let me wear it... it's just like you think you are higher in authority than us. Only our gods and our family can take it from us. To me it definitely didn't sound like a compliment. I actually was horrified when i read those comments.

I wear wigs more than my natural hair but I also love my natural hair and it is 100% protected everytime when DONE CORRECTLY (I do it myself so I know it is). It’s not anti-blackness it’s about rebuilding and regrowing damaged follicles. Now some ppl neglect their natural hair and in that case you are partially correct but you do know our hair grows long and gets straight too so how is it anti black to want long hair and to sometimes wear it straight? Just like any other style ppl wear it is a temporary style. I personally don’t wear straight hair because it elongates my face but every once in awhile I do, doesn’t mean I want to be another race.

I know I can’t control what my daughter does with her own body, but I will strongly discourage her from wearing a bunch of wigs and weaves. I wore them almost nonstop since I was 18, and stopped when I was 38. They were like a crutch, to the point that I felt so ugly without them. It took me nearly a whole year to feel comfortable with my micro locs, but now I wish I’d stopped wearing them sooner, because my edges are so thin. My son graduated high school in June, and just about every girl in his graduating class had super long, bone straight weave or wigs, with a lot of the baby hairs. I think I saw maybe three girls with what looked like their own natural hair. This isn’t to shame anyone who wears wigs and weaves, I just think we should encourage the younger generations to care for the hair they were born with and don’t be ashamed to wear it out because it’s beautiful.

OMG Chrissie this is so true! I had very long hair and non blk women especially WW would be very threatened when they found out my hair was not extensions. I recently cut my hair and the same women seem less threatened by me even complementing my short hair. Hair is such a touchy subject with women in general. We need to stay on code and enhance our natural phenotype as much as possible. I miss my long hair now and can't wait for it to grow back! Ugh why did I cut it lol 😫

My hair touches my butt but, because of the many bw that wear everyone else's hair, most people think we are all bald and weaved/ wigged up.

My natural hair is long too, to my lower back. Bw have ruined our image to the point where everybody is always asking me if my hair is real. It’s so annoying. I get embarrassed sometimes wearing it out or straightening it bc I think people are not gonna believe it’s my hair. It really sucks.
