Meet the money makers of the natural hair movement

[@BlendedBarbieDoll]

Going natural was the best thing I have ever done to make my self feel pretty. I never know I had curls, my texture and the feel of my hair is completely different and once I finally figured it out its down to my bra even and full! No scalp problems anymore either! Go Natural!

I found taking a break from shampoo and just using Aloe Vera gel to soothe my scalp and a some jojoba oil to moisture has worked. Also investing in a water softener shower head replacement if you live in a hard water area makes a difference too.

I'm confused with the comments on this video. This video is about how the business of afro hair products is growing again. BUSINESS AND NATURAL HAIR!!! Not who's the blackest. Realign your focus ladies and celebrate a part of the afro community and their success!! That's all. Although I don't use Miss. Carols products, I'm proud that she has see success. We all know that Madam CJ Walker was the first African American woman to get this thing going. We can all build on the legacy because there is more than enough to go around 🍾🥂🍸

[@lenoco93671]

Allison well said. I was confused by the comments as well. Why can't we all just get along. It's time to support each other in our community. A house divided against itself cannot stand!

[@tonisamps5338]

ok why do women like that constantly represent black women whether they are biracial or not? they get to represent us in entertainment too. it's time out for that don't yall think. they are a minority. we don't REALLY look like that. so i guess your dark skinned self haven't realized that lighter skinned women constantly get opportunities to represent black women more so than darker skinned women. if you don't care then ok you don't care.

[@eugeniaforde5271]

I think it is all wonderful that these entrepreneurs have "succeeded", however, can we stop selling everything we create to the people who never respected our natural beauty. The internet has made it possible to do things we thought were out of our reach. Keep selling the product on the Net. addition, yes colorism still exists.

[@SpoiledLocGurl]

I'm all for black owned hair products but both these companies charge up the butt. I have tried them and I found nothing about them to warrant the price they charge. I make my own ish in my own kitchen now also and honestly with what I pay for the ingredients I could sell my stuff for $6 a bottle and make a decent profit. So I think their prices are just greed in the end.

[@shawnmariep]

Black people don't have the financial resources for mass production which reduces overall production costs. If Black people support the more expensive Black owned products, EVENTUALLY, like the WHITE owned manufactured products, the prices will shift downward. The White owned companies had a huge head start

[@SydneySweeneyGang]

I just don't understand that they're saying "oh we're making these products and let's promote the natural hair movement", but yet their products range from 20-50$ per bottle??? And the horrible relaxers range from 6-10$, isn't it easier to get the relaxer and then go buy the product that's 5$ for your new "straight hair"?

[@Ibetala]

Hola! I am curious, what do you think a fair price range would be for the natural hair products? I really want to know this. $10 ?

[@SydneySweeneyGang]

Ibetala Hello! 10$ seems fair, yes.

[@Ibetala]

Cool! I never noticed the pricing that much cuz I usually splurge on the hair products but it's good to know! Maybe they should lower their prices!

[@dianehobbs28]

I agree 100%, I don't buy either one of their products. I think they are just trying to get more money from using our heritage to their advantage. But you can still go natural, their plenty products on the market that aren't that expensive. And you can do the diy products.

If i see one more sister say biracial women aren't black- IM GONNA SCREAM. They are black. They are black. They are black.

How could you let that message go?

[@prettypraline]

First thing we should stop doing is assuming that just because a person is light-skin or has different color eyes that they are automatically mixed. Rihanna has one bi-racial parent and a black mother. I guess she isn't black either. Michaela Angela Davis is African- American. She talks about this all the time. She was raised with two very light skinned African American parents. (Other biracial people we tend to not mention include: Frederick Douglass, Bob Marley, Drake, Rosa Parks, Barack Obama, and Yara Shahidi. Even Naomi Campbell isn't full-black. Her mom is light-skin with blue eyes and her father is half Chinese. Both of Langston Hughes' parents were bi-racial. Guess he wasn't black either. Genetics are tricky. My point being.... We only want to point out that they're bi-racial and allow them to claim half they're heritage, when they are light-skin (and more specifically if they're women). The problem is that society always wants to define which bi-racials they'll accept and which ones they won't. On top of the fact that most African- Americans are of mixed race (with either white or Native American), they are not full black...they probably shouldn't be trying to determine and nit-pick who is mixed enough to be accepted into the community. Vanessa Williams and Steph Curry both have two African-American parents. Sydel Curry actually came out to say that the family wasn't bi-racial, they were just light skin. The average African-American genome, for example, is 73.2% African, 24% European, and 0.8% Native American... according to The American Journal of Human Genetics.

They may be black but it's only half. Ofc its stupid to deny their blackness so is denying their whiteness. It's basic maths. And lets be honnest someone with a darker skin will not have the same struggles that someone lighter.

Its the transition into natural hair and the upkeep should be portrayed a lil better...Not dry and the just dont care look or you simply get up and go hair look....noo maam....Many who loved their natural hair ..knew how to have the hair healthy and decently kept up...with a light shine or daily upkeep look...before leaving out their homes...indivdailty is ok, but at least love your natural with the maintaince or daily or weekly healtht hair care ...Your Portrayed Image and Identity is all you have when you first became old enough to learn how to manage and care for Your Natural Beauty from both the inside and out side that you wake up and see 1st everyday...before anyone else does...Healthy hair and maintaining your hair healthy and being able to manage the undulness or breakage or stunt growth that can weakens the hair is something to consider with your diet and frame of mind and soul that aligns you within a 360 view of who you really are within the image that many may see once you step out your house...There is nothing wrong with a lil care on the natural with a lil shine..thy hair maybe natural grown..but it still needs the corrective care of upkeep ....before you leave your home...

[@thewonderfulkushite9472]

Since not all bi-racial people want to be black, I say they should have their own group otherwise it gets very confusing. I have no problem with those who truly want to fight with us because there are some full-blooded Afrakans who are more disloyal than some bi-racial people. What I don't like is the fact that bi-racial people didn't chose what they want to be, they were told that they are black no matter how white they look. As a result, that creates a serious trust issue.

[@BlackGirlLovesAnime6]

TheWonderfulKushite exactly. They either claim black because they have darker skin than the "normal" mixed person or because they are not accepted by their white half. That's the only reason they claim black because if they could they would claim white. Idk why they dont just claim biracial because that's what they are. Not black or white but both, why deny your other half to make others feel better

I made up my own terms such as "high maintenance" hair and "wash & go." call this hair what it is ! Kinky/coarse textured! btw, there are other ethnicities that could have "black" hair.. Polynesians, Arabs, Jews, Some Hispanics (probably form mixing) & Aborigines too for example. Id even see redhead Europeans with "afro" hair...this is why I prefer calling it kinky or coarse hair.
