[@allisonm127]

Curly Crew Honestly , I’ve found that a lot of white people just don’t know how to deal with curly hair. I bet if you grew up with me (I’m biracial) , you would’ve loved your hair haha.

[@janeddooee]

Allison M I would give so much to even have a friend with curls! The white society offers so little support for them!

[@Tabby09]

I'm white and finally, 2 years ago I stopped straightening my hair. Ignore my profile pic haha that was back in 2010 when I straightened every single day. When I stopped straightening, I notice all my defined curls were gone. I was shocked to find how upset this made me. All my life I was told that straight hair is the most beautiful...every girl I knew straightened their hair. After a few months of not straightening my hair and not blow drying it, all my curls returned. I comb it with leave in conditioner after I shower and let it air dry. I love and appreciate my natural curls. All my white friends straighten their curly hair but one. My hair is so much thicker. I live in Florida with extreme humidity. My curly hair loves humidity haha makes it more curly. Embrace your curly hair. Curly hair is beautiful and don't let anyone tell you different!

[@carlosandmuriel]

I really do feel her...with every fiber of my BEING....this pandemic has helped me embrace my curls.....I'm going to a natural centric stylist so that she can cut the rest of this relaxer out of my hair......I cannot WAIT!!!!

isn't it just! i thought she looked beautiful with the hair I've seen her with on tv and movies but her natural hair is just so much prettier AND its who SHE is. i feel so bad that so many different people have been made to suppress their culture and natural beauty, I'm glad she was able to show us her beauty in all of its glory!

My hair has made me cry many times throughout my life. I totally get how she was feeling.😭🤎

[@amirhalynch3103]

This is beautiful, y’all. I also starting crying because I too have curly hair and learning to love my hair after straightening it for YEARS has been a truly intense but fulfilling experience. Us curlies gotta stick together!

[@bananabarnett]

I have no idea if this is weird to say to strangers on KZbin comments but imma say it anyway 😂 I’m so proud of y’all for not letting society erase and suppress your natural beauty. My aunts recently embraced their natural hair and it was so empowering to see. I was once embarrassed about my Jamaican heritage but, especially over the past few months with BLM, I have become so proud of my heritage and I really hope that this movement will truly change the world for good so black people and all ethnic minorities can flourish and be their true, authentic selves. BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL!

[@dallaslyndlee]

I don’t think she’s crying over hair, but moreover, identity. To come out and embrace your hair, especially when it’s not accepted in society, is an emotional process. It’s accepting yourself, and it’s saying you don’t care what others say anymore. She’s taking care of herself and her hair; that’s what it’s about.

[@peter7129]

[@its_vlkxtyz]

[@brosef5033]

Lmao hair is not accepted in society😂? Please. It’s 2023. The fact tht privileged Americans cry and whine about hair and call it oppression is baffling to me. Americans are ao out of touch with the rest of the world. While yall are offended because a white person wore braids but called them french braids over box braids, there are people starving and dying. While yall cry because a stranger on the street accidentally used the wrong pronoun, there are children being sold into slavery. People are opressed all over the world. Kat Graham is not one of those people. Get over yourselves.

[@fkdkidie]

[@TheWonderGirl23]

I mean this is the real hair journey for many black girls and women or mixed girls and women. Personally, I was blessed to be raised by my black mom who knew and understood how to do my hair which is 4C curl pattern through time, effort, knowledge, and the legacy of life skills my grandmother passed to her. Even that wasn’t enough just in my immediate family all our hair textures are so different even though we’ve had similar hair struggles. But the pride we have through our hair by loving it, accepting it, growing with it, and working with it is priceless. It’s a everyday process and sometimes you have those bad days where you wrap it put it in a bonnet and call it a day. Lol. I’m glad she showed this side of her, I never thought to think during Vampire Dairies she was using sew ins and wigs (it makes sense) but in my opinion her natural hair is beautiful and makes her look younger.

I was born and am living in Jamaica and it's so hard finding products that are good for my hair type,so I experiment ALOT, all of my siblings have different hair types. My older sisters hair is more afro, and a bit curly(kinda like 3c), she couldn't manage it so she choose to cream it🤣. My mom is Syrian/Chinese so her hair is wavy,have body and really long.

Sweet Fee -As much as it pains, don’t keep buying a lot of products. I could open a salon with all of my hair care products (I probably use 10 products right now). Journal your hair care, step by step with the products you use. Try to use the same products, in the same order for a month. I know you’ve heard it a million times, and I am honestly still trying to find the right balance, but water is the most important ingredient to your healthcare. Try to find a KZbinr, with your hair type, porosity, density, and length, to watch. Take care and stay Be-You-Tiful.

OH MY. This is why I ALWAYS say: hair is not just “hair”. I hate that most people minimize the fact that your hair is a big thing, it really matters. When people with a “softer” usually straight texture aka the one everybody want you to believe is the “best one” say that I shouldn’t worry about my hair I just wanna cry cause they don't know the EFFORT it takes for me to accept my natural hair when there’s a whole world telling me that I should change it’s natural way or how I treat it/style it. Quarantine was game changer for me, like everybody, I had to deal with my hair by myself. Since I was 6 my mom straightened my hair EVERY WEEK. Hence why I thought that was my destiny, to keep on straightening it till I die. Which is sad af cause once It gets wet (like every time I went to the beach) I just didn’t know what to do, literally. I've felt SO bad when i see how other girls just "do nothing" and their hair looks “good” while I have to struggle to feel ok, I stopped taking pictures of myself cause of it. And a friend of mine, when I was in high school made a joke about my hair that till this very day I haven't forget. I couldn’t handle it. So 2 months ago I made my mind up and decided that I can grow and rock my natural hair. Saddest part is that my fam don’t agree with it cause they think I’m gonna look “different”. I’m gonna prove them “different” and natural are beautiful as well.

And I think some people don’t realize how long lasting their words can be, because they forget probably just as quickly as they said it but the one it’s directed to carries it with them long after.

I’m bi-racial & I FELT the tears when she was talking about her hair...like felt it y’all.

[@tatyanamoore5633]

What she mixed with? I never knew she was.

[@kgl_2220]

Miss’ Tyy her dad is a bit of liberian and her mom is white. so basically black and white

[@tunzlunz]

I be wondering where were your black cousins and aunties when you bi-racial babies were growing up? I have a biracial niece and every time I see her I style her hair. It’s how we bond.

[@yasmimemiranda]

I felt it too, because I've been in this position for so, so long. I cried with her. It's not just hair, it's culture, it's who we are and we struggle to accept ourselves because of the way society makes us believe we're less worth. My mom couldn't deal with my hair either.

[@tatyanamoore5633]

Yasmim Miranda it sucks that society try to make us feel less than what we are. Like we have the most beautiful hair.

She was straight up one of if not the most talented actresses on TVD. Seeing her be this vulnerable made me love her even more. We need to uplift each other. I am white but I want to see more diversity on my screen! I would watch the movies, watch the tv shows! Hollywood, get this right!!!

The hair situation probably also reminds her of the trauma she experienced in that show.

Aw. I'm crying with her. That the crew of VD underappreciated everything about her show just how crappy the business is and how self-esteem and self worth harming it is. Ian Somerhalder threatened to quit the show if they killed off Bonnie which shows how much of a class act Ian is in sticking up for his friend.

Exactly bc she's never done a role without a bogus straight weave

[@deem132]

love this woman so much, wishing her a lifetime of joy! she deserves.

[@deasiaalston8751]

As a black woman I completely understand the way she feels. It can be very stressful at times on knowing what to do with your natural hair and embracing it. And especially in the tv industry there isn’t many hair stylists that know how to do black people’s natural hair bc they want you to fit an image that doesn’t represent curly, kinky, or coily hair textures.

[@brookejohnson8289]

Stfu, just because someone might be considered “more privileged” than others doesn’t mean they don’t have there own struggles, don’t belittle someone else’s experiences just because you “feel” like you have it worse.

@@lilmonster1607 just cuz she’s biracial doesnt mean she doesn’t have struggles. Stop trying to invalidate a black woman struggle cuz natural hair struggles are real.

[@Fatima-hl2qg]

@A H ok yea we can’t call her completely black but natural is hair a struggle that mixed people and black people have to deal with. Yes most of the time they have a looser curl pattern which makes it easier but if you don’t know how to take care of it, you will struggle. I don’t usually force them into one catagory as well but in this instance, I can

[@immerbeach5477]

Not all biracial women have her hair texture . Loose thin hair is very easy to do

[@sarahnatalyaxo]

Aww Kat, you are not alone! So many of us have struggled with our curly hair... you're so beautiful inside and out, hair or no hair, curly or straight. Thank you for being so honest with us and for sharing your tips. Just beautiful! x
