Great video, but maybe try not to immediately correlate tight curls to the word "difficult"- blacks have enough negative connotations associated with us already. Thank you.

[@woalikethat]

I saw another video on the topic of hairdressers X black hair in korea. The hair dresser in that video previously had to turn away a black client, but when he did so he made sure to emphasize to the client that the problem was not her or her hair but his own lack of skills. Later on, he tried to learn how to do kinky hair by watching videos online. I think both his approach to rejection and his attempts to improve after are really commendable.

[@jlmop-fc8lv]

It's amazing he was honest about it. Some would rather take the money even if they know they can't do it.

[@Armyblink4life554]

Yeah I think he did a good job responding to why he had to decline. Makes the girl know it’s not profiling issue and that he would educate himself on the hair type for him to no longer have to decline

[@lindc1070]

The fact that he had to explain and blame himself shows how humble he is. The problem is blacks tend to over react to everything as Racism like in the comments here. Why do they come to Asia and expect us to be familiar with their hair?

[@chiyoko7023]

@@jlmop-fc8lv the honest ones are the best. I once went to a hairdresser to dye my hair. I have black hair and wanted pastel colour.

Hello everyone! My name is Trudi, the last girl featured in this video! Yes, depending on the cut, my hair is actually 4A/4B! Which I did say... 🤔 Also my lovely friend, who is a hair designer, invited me to his Korean hairsalon, where his boss wanted to turn me away as soon as she saw my hair. But since we were friends, he eagerly insisted on doing my hair and not sending me away. So, they ended up washing and styling it the best way they could. 😂 Living in Korea, I will do my best to teach and allow other Korean stylists to learn how to do curly hair, for a better experience for our curly friends living here ❤ Thank you to giggle for inviting us to collaborate and share about curly hair! 기글 초대해주셔서 감사합니다 ^^

[@PatientCommenter]

Consent must be for any touching. Unfortunately, they made a racial bias, but that goes for when redheaded and freckled children are touched on the cheek and have their hair touched, too.Believe me, it's not just black people who go through this type of embarrassment. It's not all racism, it could just be curiosity, albeit invasive. Human beings are curious about texture, both for a horse's mane and for a sheep's wool :)

@Orange300 The dark-skinned girl might be mixed or might not. Also the first girl they start with might not be mix. Overall any of these girls can be mix.

[@fundash5124]

@Orange300 What do you consider black then, to say those girls are mixed not black?

[@fundash5124]

​@Vanessa Muteia In my country, your hair texture doesn't determine your race; if your skin is dark, you are considered black, regardless of whether you have African ancestry or not. Historically, the term "black people" referred to those of African descent or with dark skin tones. It's perplexing to hear people say that one's race is determined by hair texture. It seems foolish to consider everyone with fair, light, pale, medium fair, tanned or olive skin tones as white, regardless of their hair texture. So, that is why I asked the person the question. You know the funny thing is, that many people who are considered black outside of Africa are of mixed heritage and do not have purely African DNA.

[@justwatchingandcommenting]

I know my story is atypical, but I'll share it for fun. This happened when I was in the Air Force and living in Korea. I'm just regular Black (no other racial heritage as far back as I can look), and have the 4ciest 4c hair you can imagine...though I think I had a relaxer when I was living in Korea. Anyhoo, I went to a shop on the base and 3-5 Korean ladies braided my hair--micro braids with extensions. (whoever wasn't working on other clients, helped the main braiders). It was one of the best braiding experiences I ever had. It didn't take forever, it looked great and it lasted well. If that shop were anywhere in driving distance to me, I'd be their most regular customer. Any one can learn to do any kind of hair if they just decide to do it. (my current hair stylist is living proof of that). Fun video!

This was interesting for me as a black woman with curly hair. I stopped patronizing salons a long time ago because I prefer to do my own hair. I don’t like when people come up and put their hands in my hair. It is rude to touch people without permission. I have seen a video where a South Korean woman with curly hair talked about her struggles to find products and resources after she stopped straightening. She said she has to order everything from abroad. She let a stylist play in her hair and he was amazed by the transformation after she brushed out her hair then wet it and it curled up again. He was like wow 😮

I love how he asked first if he could touch their hair. A person touched my hair in the store once without permission and I was almost ready to fight. My hair is a 4b/4c combo and takes forever to straighten.

[@anonnnymousthegreat]

Yup, my hair is closer the rihanna (3rd woman from the left), and i’m just glad i learned how to do my own hair from childhood from my mother, aunts, female cousins, grandmother and great aunts. I learned how to do cornrows on myself by the age of 7 and did my younger sister’s hair too when none of the adult women around us didn’t have time to do her hair. People asked me all the time if someone else did my hair or my sister’s hair because they didn’t believe a child my age could have my hair and my sister’s hair looking so neat. I also did my own hair for homecomings as well as a few of friend’s hair for their dances too when i was in middle school and hs.

[@charliesenti]

That is so weird to touch someone else’s hair out of curiosity, especially without permission.

[@manuelmacalinao500]

The price is not because she is black but because of the length of her hair to the products that needs to be used. Curly hair looks short but it is 2-3x longer when applying a product.

[@riychu070]

Are you a Korean stylist? Just curious how you know this because t Other Blk ppl have said they get charged more because of the time & effort (stylists told them that was reason for additional cost).

@@riychu070 we own a salon. Time also matters but it is more of the product to be used. Using Schwarkopf 100usd minimum for straightening around asia, since their hair is really long im pretty sure it's way more than that probably double.

[@violet7092]

@@manuelmacalinao500 but the length of that girls hair wouldn’t be that long even at full length. And I mean I personally have similar hair to her and when wet applying product and stuff is not that different to a person with straight hair.

[@lonewaer]

It's really common sense. He pulled a girl's hair in the video, and it showed that the length is very deceiving. So yes, that's a lot of product, but also… they talked about something between 1 to 4 hours to straighten their hair, with what I understand to be 4 people each taking care of a fourth of her total hair. That's a lot of people spending a lot of time and and lot of products. And then the rarer the service, the more expensive it becomes, so naturally, the cost jumps in price. Finally, let's be honest, that hair is going to fight back, that's why it's so curly in the first place. Those are not going to be easy hours.

[@violet7092]

@@lonewaer yes I think that’s true for the two girls with 4a and 4c hair, but the girl with 3c hair is the one talking the price being raised even when her hair is already straight, and although longer than it is now I know her hair would not exactly be shockingly long because it’s so similar to my own. I can understand the price being higher maybe if they use harder to get p/ more expensive products for curly hair because I’m sure there aren’t that many of those, but it’s just that the girl with 3c hair really won’t use as much product/time as the 4a/c girls.

Sorry but my ancestors for several thousand years are fully African and I have the exact same hair as the second lady. She might be mixed but her hair type is still “Black”.

[@xapokalypse]

I live in Germany, Bavaria, so people with curly and coily hair are a bit more common, but in my era theres only one hair salon that specifies on my type of hair. So i had to learn how to do it myself. On my 18th birthday i went to a somewhat pricy salon because i wanted a different color and the hairdressers didnt treat me well. I felt really uncomfortable because they talked badly about my hair. I think thats also one of the reasons, i dont even go there anymore in the first place. I think its important for other races to learn about different types of hair even when they dont get many customers with a different hair texture. Nowadays theres so much information available online that there shouldn't be an excuse imo.

[@kamillelila1627]

I have noticed too that in Germany and Austria there is way less available for people with curly or even wavy hair! The products they do have are honestly not as good as the variety you'd find in the U.S. for example.

[@cherllowe-johnson7630]

It would be beneficial for Korean salons to learn how to twist or braid Black/mixed hair 4B to 4C curl textures. You don't have to straighten it first. The hair works better if it is slightly wet after a fresh shampoo & condition. Part in 2 or 4 sections and hold in hair tie or shower cap. I start from the back and work forward. Depending on the style, I can braid or twist in 30 mins to 1.5 hours. 2 French braids going back; 4 braids pinned up; 20 cornrows in small ponytail front with back hanging down; or under 50 braids for box braids. They can charge $25 to $75 USD same as American salons. Only products needed is a hair oil like almond, coconut, peppermint or grapeseed (a little on the scalp) and hair sheen like blue magic, Softee Indian Hemp or hydrating curling cream (rub BTW hands & apply down hair shaft from root to ends before braiding). Hair cream can be gently combed thru from ends to roots with a pick comb or wide tooth. That's all!! Simply and cute styles for new clients!!

@@eloghosaaghayere05 Just a little tip coming from a fellow 4C, it's not so much the product to help get your hair long. Hair will always grow at the same rate, you have to worry about strengthening, retention and protection. If you constantly tear through your hair trying to detangle it by force or constantly changing hair styles and manipulating it, you will start to break out the new growth. So try not to get too caught up in all the fast hair growth oils and serums because at the end of the day it's about retention and not faster growth.

[@superwho9458]

​@@eloghosaaghayere05 I normally flat twist my hair instead of corn rows in between styles because it's less tension on my scalp. I also do bigger two strand twists no smaller than my thumb for longer lasting styles. If you do like to add length I would say passion twists are great substitutes for braids. Keeping my hair in these styles stops it from tangling up once I've done my wash day and it's easier the next time I have to detangle and wash my hair. I tend to wash my hair once every 2-3 weeks and deep condition once a month. In between washes I moisturize my scalp with some leave in or just some water.

Heck, I even had to learn to do my friend's hair who had type 4 because they needed help with their hair from time to time due to the difficulty they had finding someone who specialized in tight curls and coils. Thankfully this happened almost a decade ago and things have gotten better in the hair community here in the US with more ppl opting to embrace their natural textures so it is more accessible nowadays to find good curly stylists.
