[@BL3SSed-Bliss]

Rainsong T You’re combining perimenopause with technical menopause. Peri is the absolute worst period, and is lengthy, typically up to the DECADE preceding menopause. It is true fuckery. Some cultures experience worse than others. Then, individually there is difference, as each physiology/body/vessel is unique. Still, there are many similarities and things to expect or caution against. Conversation is ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL, and it is widely understood that THAT is what is missing most from us- the patients, “the people”. The medical community is historically male-dominated, thus male-oriented, and have VERY little research and understanding in women’s health, reproductive or otherwise. Best is to COMMUNICATE with ALL TRUSTWORTHY [enough] resources that can help you. This actually does begin “at home” (talking with family, friends, guides, and peers).

[@PillowHairBlog]

Dear Jimmy, menopause is the hormonal 'end stage' of the female body's reproduction abilities. Like pregnancy, there can be side effects such as hot flashed, cravings and mood swings. Depending on the hormonal levels of the woman, it can last for a few months or a few years. Eventually, menstruation will stop and in some cases, the estrogens levels go so low, that the testosterone gains more 'power' and gives some women chin and upper lip hair. Menopause usually occurs for women over the age of 45, but can happen sooner due to hormonal imbalances or illness. You're welcome.

[@marywatkins9438]

I'm 40 and already getting the chin hairs. 🙄

So true I've been going through pretty menopause for quite a while I have all those symptoms and I'm now in my early forties but hormonal imbalances makes it worse and causes it to last longer

[@abeadfan3885]

Some women have those from teen years! A few chin hairs at 40 is a lucky escape and not necessarily menopause related.

[@naomi6212]

Don't forget menopausal depression. Weirdest thing ever. For me lasted 2 hrs every 5/6 weeks for 2/3 yrs. When half my brain said 'you are completely useless/redundant' and the other half of the brain said 'don't be so ridiculous!'. I would have a nap until my brain stopped talking to itself.

I hate it when white people say they wish they had an Afro. Growing up in the UK and being in all white environments it was my biggest peeve. Thank you Viola for explaining the difficulty of maintaining Afro hair.

[@_JoyceArt]

I’m a white person, I’m fully aware of the maintenance that comes with having an Afro. One of my favorite KZbin channels is from a woman doing hair tutorials for textured hair. One of my exes from Angola has dreadlocks. He spent a lot of time moisturizing and making sure they looked great. But I will always have volume-envy, because at best, my hair is wavy. We humans tend to want what we don’t have. In elementary school I had a classmate who had lovely red curls, I wanted her curls, she wanted my sleek brown hair. I understand it must be annoying to hear it over and over "I wish I had your hair", but sometimes a compliment is just a compliment.

Lol, I didn't know Viola Davis was this Funny! I love her style and her afro is cool! She looks so beautiful wearing it that way

[@jbeta4948]

My dad had an afro in his youth and my family tells me that it took him forever to style it. Also, he would have a panic attack everytime it rained 😆😆😆.

Because the hair is goin to shrink😂😂😂

Schools were integrated in the South in the early 1970s. In my junior high and high school, there was no fighting or blatant racism. We were just kids trying to pass our tests. It was the early 70s so our hair was either big (afros) or long and straight (hippie style). We had no problem respecting each other's differences.

[@isabelleon3360]

Lots of people have questions like him, glad she used it as a teaching moment, and answered with great humor so people with the same questions will know. Love her even more now💖

[@xJacquelineBx]

I love her energy. I'm afraid of menopause 😫

[@nopo8011]

My mom went through menopause starting age 38. Now shes got advanced osteoporosis at age 56. It's no fun. Though she's not the norm

[@ZionFame]

@@nopo8011 sorry for your mom's condition but u just scared me the more.

[@froggreen2067]

Not too bad

[@michelebrown5142]

Be afraid. Be very afraid! 😫🥵

[@galelynsullivan8917]

Rainy Zion you will be fine I promise! Get your vitamin D levels checked and it will help make all the difference. Do that now because most people period lack adequate Vitamin D. My Dental hygienist demanded I did this and mine were low. Taking vitamin D and feel great.

[@matthewscott1091]

When I was little I had my Aunt Janet who was my moms best friend & a Black woman. And being little, I didn’t know about wigs, extensions, weaves etc but every time I saw my Aunt her hair was different. So I assumed that black women specifically had “Magic Hair” that could change length, color & shape whenever they wanted. 😅 I still remember saying (in awe), “Your hairs so pretty Aunt Janet” & she’d smirk, give me a hug & say, “Thank you baby.”

[@michaelmaps2004]

[@crystallam7335]

I laughed so hard at this! Thank you so much for uploading this gem :)
