Like daughterofzion said. It's versatile. It's also unique, looks like clouds and leaves. And no race has that hair. That's why they want us to be insecure of our hair. So that we don't see how beautiful it truly is.

[@PrincessYonna1]

Which is why I don’t understand why bw won’t wear it out more. It is our pretty privilege

[@bre9328]

Sometimes they're just mad you have the audacity to wear your hair. They don't even want it, but they can't understand why you do. I had a preteen biracial ask me, "You really like wearing your hair like that?" When she found out I was going to cut my afro, she was so excited. I was indecisive for a few months, and she would be disappointed when I'd come back to visit and still had my fro. When I finally did get my low cut...Chile the disturbingly, relieved, smile that crept across her face 👀

[@Ferrist1]

When a whole group of women assimilates (forced or otherwise) to your aesthetic, I imagine it inflates one's ego. You can say "I'm the best in the world. Everyone loves me or wants to look like me" what a jarring experience when that same assimilating group starts to say, actually no, I love my look the best in the world, and that look happens to be something that cannot be duplicated and is the antithesis of the status quo. So many people's ego boosts are predicated on deflating or keeping in check blk women's self worth/esteem.

I believe there is jealousy towards black women who wear their natural texture hair because they stand out compared to other races of women. Sonia Barbie Tucker truly radiates exoticness, femininity, grace, elegance, class, and pride with her natural textured afro. She is the woman who encouraged me to embrace my natural beauty. There is an earthy and ethnic beauty that radiates when a black woman wears her natural hair. 🖤

[@charmaineespeut4627]

We absolutely do stand out especially when we wear it in a fro. I stopped wearing my afro in high school because I got so much attention and then random people started to touch it (I was a teen who didn't know how to establish boundaries).

Exactly. All other races look the same or similar in the same room. But bw stick out, just from their hair alone, they force an entire room to notice them. Just from their hair...that's why they're mad.

Since going on a hair health-and-length journey in 2016, my hair is now a little past hip length. I do not normally wear my hair straightened. The last time I got a silk press was in 2020 and I was at tailbone length at the time. I got a LOT of hateful looks with my long straightened hair from white and other non-Black women. In my experience, long hair on a Black woman, especially if it is also dense, shiny, and healthy looking, PISSES them off! In their minds, long hair is *just for them,* not for US. They hate seeing us with long hair, but they are perfectly happy seeing us in wigs and weaves. I wear my natural hair in plaits under a head wrap most of the time. Every now and then I will wear it in two “Indian” braids hanging down and sometimes I pin the braids up. I will get mean stares from white women and other non-Black women then too. Whether my hair is straightened or in its natural state, they HATE seeing very long hair on a Black woman. 🤦🏽‍♀️

19 years old here. I stopped wearing weaves in 11th grade. I wear my hair in an afro basically everyday if not then it's twist. Tell me why every now and then at my job I have mostly foreign African black women who have in weaves majority of tims coming up to me saying "oh you wear hair natural, yknow I can do braids, lace fronts, crotchet, etc" or when I keep my twist in for a long time and it gets into the dreading phase (which I personally love) some older black women come up to me saying stuff like "Oh don't dread up that pretty hair". It's really disgusting tbh, I guess to them wearing my hair natural means I can't afford or find anybody to put a weave in it and if I want my hair to look like locs it's my business.

[@CoffeeCuties777]

Thanks for sharing your experience and smh it’s really sad that a lot of people assume we all want a weave and if we don’t wear them we must be broke …it’s actually the opposite for a lot of us because we are saving so much money by embracing our natural hair🤎

[@jupiterdrops7752]

I relate to your experience I'm 17 and I recently just put in micro twist. But I've noticed that black people are more likely to give you the nasty looks regarding your hair because anytime we were our natural hair out its "unkempt" or "Childish" when this is our natural hair growing from our scalp.

[@JO-fk5ho]

That’s crazy, I’m African and have worn my 4C hair naturally. When I came to America, Black American women were quick to tell me how unkempt and poor I looked. I was told being African and Natural wouldn’t work in my favour in the US. The miseducation is global

My own mother spent the first 3-4 years (I went natural in 2013) of me being natural calling it ugly, messy and ghetto in order to bully me back into the creamy crack. My mom suffers from self hate and absolutely hates being a dark skin black woman (which I understand because people around her made her feel ugly by bullying her due to her features. It took her to stop using relaxers due to major hair loss for me to have peace about my hair. Most of the time when I wear my natural hair out, women tend to glare at me, no matter the race. Natural hair jealousy is definitely real

On natural hair being “childish”… My hair is so “childish” that when I am out and about with my 23 year old son, I’m mistaken for being his sister rather than his mom. Considering that I am in my 50’s, I’ll keep on trekking with my “childish” natural hair because it’s doing me right, as far as I’m concerned, if I’m mistaken as being decades younger than I actually am on the regular. 👍 I do believe the youthful look that natural hair is giving is a source of jealousy both in and outside the Black community. For those inside the Black community it’s their unwillingness to explore natural hair for themselves or to explore the versatility of natural hairstyles on their own hair. So they get mad when they see another naturalista sista pulling it off. For those outside the Black community, jealousy of standing side-by-side with another of a different race who is the same age but the Black person looks decades younger has always been something that can and does happen. It can happen the other way around, there are always exceptions. But more often than not, it doesn’t happen the other way around 🤷‍♀️

I remember 2004 to 2006, in Seattle at a Black church I faced bullying from our pastor wife the first Lady. She was light skinned and wore perms and sow in weaves with occasional wigs. During those years I was wearing short dreads in a bob,, two or 4 inch afro that I pinned into a French roll. It was a women's night service and the first lady was preaching in the pulpit talking about. She made remarks like , " some of you all wo dwr why you haven't met you husband yet. You need to do something with your hair. I'd you can't afford to get a perm from the salon go buy a box perm" I was like what is going on. She talking about me. It was not an issue of money, but I wanted healthy natural and to preserve it. I had 2 grandmother's both lived beyond 90 years one never permed her hair. The other permed her hair and heat pressed it too. The one with no perm ever but pressed it for occasion She had hair . The other grandmother who used excessive heat and chemicals did not have any hair on top. I didn't want to be bald in the top in the age of 40's from relaxing hair. I stop perms in 2002. Thank Jesus I been 20 plus years without a perm

[@Jasmine-uu2xo]

straightening hair to keep black men that don't like black women is crazy. Lightskin bw self esteem relied on skin/hair back then. Today, latin/white women are more accessible and that lady husband is most likely cheating on her today with the women she straightens her to emulate. Our natural hair is appreciated by everyone else but our own.

[@PrettyPrincess9609]

I have long thick 4a natural hair and I dealt with a lot of nice nasty hair stylists in the past. They will make comments about my hair being too long, too thick, and blamed me because it took them a long time to do my hair. They would often overcharge me as well. They would also cut a lot more than what I asked for off. I also had a really bad experience with a stylist earlier this year where she not only talked bad about about my hair being too long and thick, she braided my hair too tight to the point that I was in pain and couldn’t even sleep at night. I was getting faux locs but she put my real hair in cornrows before attaching the faux locs to my hair. I took the style down and some of my hair came out. It wasn’t a lot but I literally cried when I saw that some of my hair came out after a DAY of wearing faux locs. Fortunately I started going to my sister in law to do my faux locs, twists, and braids. I wash, detangle, and trim my own hair now. I can do plaits which is what I do to my hair after I wash it but I can’t do other braid hair styles so that’s why I go to my sister in law. I also came across nice nasty strangers and ex friends who would ask me if my hair was real or if it was a wig. I have also been denied jobs in the past for wearing my natural hair. When I first did my big chop, I got nothing but nasty comments of people comparing me to Side Show Bob and calling me “ bald headed “. I was literally bullied when my hair was a TWA and I use to get a lot of stares and people would laugh at me with their friends. That motivated me to grow my long hair and now I just get nice nasty comments. I still get stares now after I grew my hair long and often times I’m the only one rocking my natural hair when I walk into a room.

6:26 ; the Tignon law was enacted in the U.S. in 1786 to force Black women to cover their hair with a scarf known as a tignon. Previous to that, similar laws were enacted in the Caribbean. White wives were so jealous of the attention that their husbands were giving Black women due, in part, to the attractiveness of their (Our) hair. They probably had massive hissy fits! Perhaps some wife of a lawmaker or judge forced him to create such a self-serving restriction of Black beauty. I've read that it was a classist as well as racist attempt at control, although the Black women often turned the scarves into elaborately attractive adornments.

I have an unpopular opinion when it comes to the “Don’t touch my hair.” situation. When I was a kid, I wore a completely virgin Afro from 1970 to 1974. I grew up in racially diverse but predominantly white communities in Southern California. A Jewish family came to live with us for two years from 1970 to 1972. When we moved from Santa Monica to L.A., they came with us. The daughter was my friend and classmate. My mom’s best friend was another white woman married to a Mexican man and their four kids were the same age as my siblings and me (there are three of us). That family gave a lot of get-togethers and we spent a lot of time at their house. There were no Black people in their neighborhood and we were always the only Black people at their parties. One day, in about 1973, one of the daughters, who was my age, asked if she could touch my Afro. I said, “Sure.” and she commenced to squeezing my very dense, tightly-curled ‘fro. I don’t remember any adjectives she might have used to describe how my hair felt. I think she may have said it felt “neat” or “neat-o”, which we used to say back then. After that, her siblings took a turn caressing my hair. I knew even at that age that Afro-textured hair was often considered undesirable. But many Black people, mostly adults and boys, wore Afros. I refused to feel ashamed of my hair or apprehensive about anyone touching it or fearful of what they may say or think. I agree that people should ask permission to touch another person’s hair, regardless of ethnicity. But I don’t agree that someone’s desire to touch a Black person’s hair is always coming from a negative or judgmental place. I remember as a kid, little Black girls always wanting to play in white or Latino kids’ hair. If a Black, mixed, or bi-racial girl in the neighborhood or friend group was thought to have “good hair”, the other girls were constantly combing, braiding, and touching it. Why can’t we assume that maybe, just maybe, other ethnicities really do admire our hair, it’s look, it’s feel, and it’s texture? After all, when the Afro and Jheri curl were at their peaks, white people were running to the salon to get tightly-curled perms. Everyone from Barbara Streisand to the Brady Bunch dad was rocking a faux ‘fro. Look at these Asian kids today getting perms to make their hair kinky. There was a white boy in my Jr. High school with stick-straight super-fine hair who came back from a Christmas break with a freshly-permed Afro. He wore a cake cutter in it like the Black kids did, but they didn’t have the techniques they have today and his ‘fro was bouncy and blowing all over the place and the comb 🪮 didn’t stay very well, but he was trying, HARD, to be like the Black kids. What I’m trying to say is, when we proudly rock our natural hair, when we act and think like *BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL,* other ethnicities see it and feel it. They envy and admire us because no other group of people is like us or looks like us. No one else is as graceful or dignified as Black people. I grew up in the days of Black pride. White people were copying us left and right, even more than they do now. In the aftermath of the Civil Rights movement, there was a unity and sense of community that disappeared somehow. I’m not saying we should let people touch our hair if we don’t want them to. But we should be proud of our beautiful, natural locks and tresses and not be afraid of what anyone thinks. We need to “normalize” our natural hair in all places and spaces.

When I started wearing my own hair, this past June, I wasn’t comfortable with it. I went to a natural hair salon. The stylist assessed my hair and told me I needed protein and moisture and to to stick with a consistent routine. I did that and curls have popped. I now love wearing my hair, I think it looks better than any weave or wig I have ever worn. Wearing your own hair makes you feel more confident, and you embrace who you truly are instead of hiding behind a white woman’s hair. that is the epiphany that came to me all those years I wore wigs I was hiding behind a white woman. I am a beautiful queen in my own right. And my hair is gorgeous. I’ve also noticed I grab the attention of more black men which I have never done.

Hi I'm new to your channel but I'm glad to hear you talk about this topic I had a experience just the other day I was out running errands I had just done my hair in a twist out it😊 was full and fluffy and difined yt women walk past me look at my hair i glanced back and caught patting and running her fingers through her hair it was clear to see she was insecure after she saw my hair i love showing off my hair so theres not many natural women where i live so alot of people are shocked to see me with long natural hair

Ur texture is ur texture whether its wet or dry. If u have 4b hair then it’s still 4b while wet.

[@AnomalyBelleza]

Out of all of the variations of the human race in the world, nobody has hair like us. 🥇🏆 I can certainly see how it is the object of both scrutiny and envy at the same time. Envy and jealousy more than anything. When we wear our hair out, both the men and the women gaze. When we wear our hair out in a crowd of fellow highly textured counterparts who do not showcase their natural strands (especially in societies where we are not the majority population), it instantly projects confidence, and we know how some people feel when you’re confident…..

I wouldn't say this is rooted in jealousy but in texturism and racism/colorism but I understand what you are trying to say.

[@AnimalLover2400]

It is rooted in jealous, modern day racism is entirely rooted in jealousy + anti-Blk indoctrination from society.

Omg YES! 😭15:20 - 15:39 Okay here’s my similar story on that. Last summer ago I had got my first sew in in the month of June to August and after that first time I realized when I washed my hair the front of my hair was longer and straight from the rest of my original hair texture and It was heat damage and then I have gotten a second sew in from last August to October I didn’t get that much heat damage and now recently I just took out my sew in and….I had more heat damaged so I just decided to stop getting sew ins, bc the tracks I had was called Empire and my hair wasn’t even matching with the tracks that’s why I was always putting heat everyday to blend in the tracks, but I also put heat protection on it but I guess that ain’t work so now I’m just gonna let it grow to its texture that is supposed to be. And I have a head full of hair as well and ppl was jealous of my hair especially other black girls when I was in school. Also I subscribe to your channel ✨🤎

[@CoffeeCuties777]

Thanks for subscribing and the front heat damage is the WORSE but doing a lot of braid/twist downs will get you through that phase until it grows back 🤎🤎🤎🤎

Omg I wear my natural hair at my job around a lot of white people sometimes I put a flower clip in my hair and they will never compliment my hair they will only compliment the flower clip smfh and they stare on top of my head like they have a problem with how my hair looks I rock braids too but when they do that I rock my natural hair even longer so they can keep looking at it even longer sometimes lol 🤣🤣🤣

[@tasha5470]

Wow. All of the is so true. But the part where you can't trust your hair stylist is definitely a personal experience for me. I had a lady that washed, trimmed and styled my hair the( whole works )and when she was done this lady took so much of my hair off. My hair was shoulder length. I initially asked for a Bob and Silk press. And then the whole time I'm smelling a burnt smell, when I asked about it, she just said that she used heat protectant. She also was making subliminal comments about my type hair with other clients and even suggest that I get a relaxer ! Long story short, I lost a-lot of my hair, didn't get the style that I asked for and I still paid her the full amount. I did expressed my disappointment, And the next day she texted me and offered me a free service. I never went back. When I washed my hair expecting my natural texture I had severe heat damage.
