I rarely see Muta's natural hair. People can do what ever they want. This man is always talking and no action. He has made money talking about the demise of black people but what has he done to change or uplift black people. People like Muta and Dr Umar Johnson are docile and useless. always lip service lip service. Also, i wear my natural hair all the time and i see more and more black women wearing their natural hair but still our communities have a lot of illiterate, ignorant, violent, critical people. Our economies are still trash and no one wants to live in them. He should ask why black men are so violent and tell us solutions to fx our economies and have family structures etc

I understand Muta's point, however, many black women are proud of their natural hair but still wear braids. In a lot of cases it is just a fashion thing. In other cases, women wear braids as a protective style. It takes less frequent maintenance than keeping hair natural. As black men we have to understand that our women face a lot of external pressures as it pertains to beauty and feeling a need to adhere to european concepts of beauty. Sometimes we as black men just need to give our women some more encouragement and reassurance that for us they are always beautiful. We should also have some more confidence in black women because more often than not they make the right decisions. I am not worried about hair and fashion so long as there are still black women alive that are as loving, strong, courageous and loyal as most of those whom I have encountered all of my life.

He is absolutely correct. My take on it is, men seem to be drawn to the women that wear the extensions. I remember a woman told me that her husband never wanted her to wear make up, she found out he was having an affair and the side woman was covered in make up. The ladies on Instagram that get the most attention seem to have the extensions.

I want my hair like that”. It was always about what other women were doing and not about what I liked. I always wanted her to go natural but she did whatever she seen other women doing. My daughter stays with me and is 10 years old with natural hair. My wife want me to get it relaxed and extension but me or my daughter wants that. Her wanting my daughter’s hair to be relaxed at 10 years old can’t be about a man.

[@MizzizBarrie4Eva]

@@peejones9035 its not about a man. Relaxed hair is different from getting extensions. The elder in the video talked about fake breast, butyom, hair, eyelash and I was simply saying that we often do these extensions to get praise from men. Its a need for validation. Your wife is probably from a different generation but younger women these days do it to get attention from men. Especially the butt surgery

As for black US culture pertaining to the wigs/weaves/extensions, they were worn for assimilation purposes. Black Women/girls have been denied employment and have been kicked out of school for “unprofessional” and “distracting” hair styles. European features are celebrated in the US, Afrocentric features not so much. To answer this guy as to why? 1) other than BW looking bomb doing whatever hairstyle they please, I know when I’m doing my hair it’s for me, and not to impress others. Whether it’s a protective style or if I just want some variety. I know I can’t be the only one. 2) the aftermath of white supremacy still lingers on til this day. I wouldn’t be surprised if Some bw feel more comfortable wearing racially ambiguous hair textures (i.e 2A-3A) as a way to fit in w/ the “preferred” people

[@comedicmood2729]

Right....so the women wear the wigs just for work then? And then take it off when they are doing anything else: run errands, go meet their friends for dinner? Your entire theory is a made up!! lmao.

[@powersxoxo6437]

I think he understands this, but he’s probably wondering why we are still doing it. I agree that the aftermath of racism took a big toll on our feelings of worthiness and outward beauty. Many of us are not comfortable wearing our natural hair, I’ve seen videos of women frustrated because a wig appointment got cancelled. I think we still have a lot of growing to do in this area. We can set the new standard of beauty, we have the power to do so.

[@Pegao2121]

@@powersxoxo6437 thank you for being civil. Setting a new standard of beauty sounds good but I’m not interested in teaching people that Afro centric features are beautiful, seems like an uphill battle. I think anyone would be frustrated w/ an appt that’s been cancelled. It’s unprofessional. Furthermore, I’m pro to each is their own. I have no right telling a fellow bw not to wear a bonnet, nor weave or a wig for whatever reason they so chose (trendiness, medical related ailments, assimilation etc). Also if men prefer women w/ natural hair/features go after it. I’m not standing in their way nor are the women who don’t fit their desires.

[@evestar3543]

I always say that I understand why African Americans who make up 12 - 14% of the American society wear wigs and weaves. Just assimilation. But I never understand the obsession with wigs and weaves in predominantly Black societies. I'm talking countries where 90-99% of the people are Black. Something definitely not right somewhere.

So i told her it was fine, no need to be embarrassed, i know hair lol and it wasnt even bad tbh. She still had it covered but felt comfortable enough to just let it be. In my country, women basically wear weaves and wigs etc for the same reason, for themselves, for a change but i think more so cuz it's less maintenance🤷🏾‍♀️ Alooooot of women here complain about having to do their hair themselves often so it's easier to get braids or wear wigs/weaves.

[@6laquemoon]

I started my locs in 2020, before that I consistently wore wigs. It was NEVER about looking like anything but myself. It wasnt about looking sexy, it wasnt about attracting a man. I suffer from seborrheic dermatitis, which can be super embarassing during certain times of the year with people constant staring at my hair line. I had to learn how to accept my skin condition and to better mangage it. The issue is assuming that every woman wears wigs to LOOK like something else, when even Ancient Africans wore wigs for reasons other than to look like anything other than what they were. They used wigs to protect their heads, they used it to display royalty or class as well as for beautification. The wealthier groups used human hair, and the lower classes used animal hairs for wigs. Lastly to add discrimination in the U.S. in the work place against our natural texture, saying it is unruly, doesnt fit the aesthetics of certain jobs, including locs, afros and braids are an additional reason. When laws are passed to protect us from job loss, and our community still sees black women wearing hair extensions, then would be a more appropriate time to ask why women in the African diaspora are wearing hair extensions. And any black woman cosigning the idea that it is a lack of love for self, lacks the capacity to see from various angles, objectivity & critical thinking skills concerning our community and the history of our hair. Our hair is not monolithic, different people have different reasons. I dont see my self as better because I now have locs and look to shine the light on myself because I no longer wear hair extensions. As a retired hair stylist I had black women as clients with hair down their back who wore wigs. Until I hear another black woman says she hates her own hair, I see her matching any of the above reasons, not just for aesthetics for men or self-hatred. The same goes for physical cosmetic surgery, different strokes for different folks.

[@WellHydrated]

Thnx for taking the time to shed light on another view. Different people do things for different reasons. I think it’s not until maybe 3 or 4 years ago the military started accepting different hair styles that came naturally with black women. Prior to that, you were probably kicked out for something as simple as having locs. People don’t understand how oppressed black women and the funny thing is, they have the most creativity and alluring styles.

@@WellHydrated yes I had a client who was in the services, she said that she always had to wear her hair pulled back into a low ponytail, she got wigs because it was easier to remove it and change styles & change her hair back to the low ponytail for when she had to be back on base.

[@6laquemoon]

@@giuliettamassina7787 yes I’ve seen that art. It’s so sad that as a community we always find a reason to be against something someone in our community does without also considering the back story. If men in our community want to see changes with our hair go to the HILL and tell them your community needs better laws that protect us from discrimination, don’t get online and make us look ignorant to our own natural beauty because you feel more comfortable pointing the finger at us instead of the group that controls and created the ideas. Dont cover it with oh we like your natural hair, as if we too aren’t in love with it. That’s NOT empowerment for women in the Diaspora.

OMG I love when Mutabaruka PREACHES!!!! I use to wear weaves many many many years ago...even though my own hair was long, thick and healthy. I also had breast implants. Why? Because in my 20s I had no sense of self and no self esteem and no knowledge of my ancestry. I evolved and grew and everything came off. I had the implants removed and ditched the weaves...never wore the unhygienic hawk nails and still don't. The 45 year old me wish that I could go back and have a talk with the 25 year old me. We black women are constantly being bombarded by media telling us that we are not beautiful in our natural form...and so many believe it. Then we have black men over-looking black women to partner with and marry white/non-black women....another attack on the self esteemnof black women. Fortunately some of us, like myself, will find their way back to being their authentic selves. I find that I and other natural black women are complimented and desired by white and non-black men BUT are overlooked and/or critised for our natural beauty by black men. Unfortunately the media AND black men are the worse critiques and enemies of the natural black woman. So many black women are now suffering from weave and wig imposed alopecia.

I hope one day we will transcend to a higher level of consciousness and move out of Babylon to becoming the great nation we are supposed to be!

[@adrianforde6393]

Hair is hard to manage, because we as black ppl w/ excessibe curly Hair, continue to try to duplicate the European straight hair which ours is not. Black women seem not to know how to style their hair as it is. Stop trying to comb & brush your hair as if it is straight & style to complement how it is naturally. It is a mindset that so many in places of authority Have , that only European hairstyle in the only one acceptable, this has to change.

[@josweetlove1537]

Black women let us be honest. While there are many of us in the diaspora and maybe Africa who sport their natural styles like braids, dreadlocks, cane rows etc there are the group of Black/African women who would not be caught dead with their natural hair exposed. We are ashamed of our hair to a degree where we have allowed a man to grade our hair texture from a to c. No other race or mixture of people does such madness. We are all African descendants with woolly hair it therefore matters not (in my humble opinion) about the grade or texture save only to encourage more "elitism" among us. Some of us especially African Americans spend a fortune on wigs and weaves harvested from the scalps of lice infested heads yet we rush to purchase these Brazilian or Indian hair. I am in my senior years and not saying that I never permed, dyed, wore wigs or weaves but for the past 10 years i have worn my natural Afro hair. It is so freeing, cool (I live in the tropics) and wash and wear. I do not care who has a problem with me as a proud descendant of Africa, I will never wear false hair belonging to another race again or damage my natural curl pattern by using chemicals. Finally, I do not understand how black/African women say "they cannot manage" their own hair growing from their own heads? What was your mother doing with you as a young girl growing up? Unbelievable.

Great points he makes. Self love is very much key. However, sometimes it really is not as deep as people try to make it. Sometimes it is simply about TIME, LESS MANIPULATION OF THE HAIR, EXTREME SHRINKAGE AND MOISTURE RETENTION, OUR HAIR IS A WHOLE GALAXY AND IS BEAUTIFULLY UNIQUE. NOT EVERYONE KNOWS HOW TO CARE FOR IT. For the most part our hair does not hold moisture well so we wear protective styles and take care of it underneath our wig, weave, braids for those aforementioned reasons and for diversity of look depending on how we feel without damaging our own hair. I suggest men look inwardly more, not every woman wants the permanent style of locs. Not every woman has free flowing curls or wavy hair. The next time you see a woman with an afro, short twists, short natural cut, Bantu knots, twist out, or NATURAL style you like--COMPLIMENT HER, speak on it. This love for weaves did not come from the sky, many black men, unfortunately, not all, are attracted to European forms of beauty, tell the truth and shame the devil. Again, great points made and more self confident is needed all around as some of us are altering our entire bodies and bleaching our skin light due to COMPARISON and self loathing.

White men on the other hand LOVE my natural hair. They are fascinated that I wear it in so many styles. They absolutely love touching it and playing in it. White women with long straight hair is the beauty standard to many, not all, black men in America. Many black women have worn wigs and weaves for so long, they no longer have a choice, they must wear wigs and weaves.

When I moved to the suburbs they didn't wear weaves as much but were obsessed with straightened hair. My mom wouldn't let me get relaxers because when she was young she had one and her hair fell out. I wasn't allowed to get a relaxer until I was like 16 (11th grade) by that time I didn't care about it anymore. I had already endured the ridicule. Now I have locs and these suit me just fine.

[@ninjainyaear5945]

@@deneilwilliams4380 my thing is that I don’t have the interest to focus on what other people do with there life because in the end emotion will overshadow the value of what is being said to a person. The reality is the conditioning is beyond that of what you can say to a soul who doesn’t know they’re a soul in a consciousness. May be hard to understand, but if you’ve actually been a person who’ve expressed your perspective on an issue such as this to an unknowing person…… you’d know that it’s like shouting in the desert when your perspective wasn’t asked for. If you’ve had the experience of speaking in conversations with people expressing your opinion that makes them self conscious about their lack of understanding or programming to a certain train of thought, especially to a being who is more emotionally based…. the response will quickly evolve to an assumption of why you are saying what you’re saying or an accumulation of hate will form. That also goes to fellow men as well. I’ve tried telling people who were in gangs, dealing, or drug using the crippling effect it’s doing to themselves and their community, but as all it turns into “that n*** thinks he’s better than me.” Soon it turns into you becoming the image of bougie resemblance or in the process of some…. you become a false image of a messiah or leader. Without voicing it, you become a lot of people’s enemy and the search to destroy you becomes the focus to compensate for that feeling of self inadequacy. My job isn’t to save my people by shouting in the desert. My mission is to be the merchant on the camel that provides water to the person who asks for assistance. That is the difference. Raising the future of my seeds is the only time I’ll speak with the purpose of educating without request. In truth, the changing of the mindset from a broader lens into societal restructuring is in the kids…. Not the ones who’ve already been conditioned by the teachings of Rome or Babylon. Whether you believe in the teachings of Yah or not, there’s an interesting passage about Yahweh waiting for the generations of hebrews from Egypt to die before he allowed them to enter the promise land. Focusing on only allowing their children to enter the land of promise. That is telling about future placement. Even in what we see today. “The young is the future or the youth are the ones who will be the revolutionists.” From the Black Panthers breakfast program to the focusing on educating children in parenthood and school education systems, it is known that these are the ones who will listen with open ears and affect the future. If I am to assistance as well, I have to be conscious of the nail in my own eye or no mankind will ever take me serious and that’s why a lot of people’s words will fall on deaf ears.
