I notice a lot of women complain about how long it takes to do their hair and how difficult it is to learn how to do their hair, but then they will spend months learning how to cut lace, glue lace, lay lace, etc. I feel like women are not being honest about not liking their hair.

They're are not. I have had an Afro, braids, locs, short fade, curly hair. It takes time to do your hair as a male also. The problem with women is that they want to follow trends and fit in with what's popular. Most men I know prefer women in their natural hair and that means no weave added to do braids, twists, or what not. Also that fake hair and even the real hair that women put on their heads has harmful chemicals in a few years we'll see a rise in cancers related to it

Spending time and money on beauty (20 step makeup and skincare routines, for example) is a fine, but never their own damn hair lol. The excuses are pathetic. They don't want to admit to themselves that it boils down to self-hate; they don't like their Black features. Step one is learning to love their hair and Black beauty, the rest will follow.

I remember one of the girls said she was a teacher and when she stepped in her class the only black there was proud to have a teacher who look like her, similar to that situation i (speaking for myself and my reasons) would love to have my woman, sisters, friends to be natural and my reasons being you display confidence in yourself as well as promote it to others, you never know how many people were waiting for someone to open the way and when they see you, they grow more confident in themselves...Bottom line is, you are a role model to a lot of people you don't know and may never know....Leading By Example

It's interesting that around the 15:00 mark, they seemed to equate having natural hair with not wearing make up. I understand that that's how they associate natural hair but it's a bit sad that they can't see natural hair alongside makeup rather than"just coming out of the shower".

Start by wearing kinky coily extensions rather than straight weave. I notice that a lot of African women go for the bone straight hair instead of the 3c/4a clips or wigs or half wigs or the marley hair crochet ponytails.

This is such a great conversation! I literally spent most of my teens and 20s covering my hair but this year i was seriously fed up and i went natural and i am really embracing it. I love it! I actually switched up my wigs in my 20s so all my wigs were kinky wigs and looked very natural, but it still wasn't my own. I definitely believe African women are brainwashed to believe other hair textures are better or even when we go natural there's a certain look that is considered acceptable with slicked edges and hair that isn't too kinky which is ridiculous. Can we also not use degrading terms....nappy dreads etc. Hopefully one day everyone will appreciate their natural hair, its literally how you were born so it makes no sense to despise it. ❤

I call cap on black women's BS! It doesn't take all day to do your hair. It takes all day to get "defined curls" lay edges etc. why is it thay us black men with the same texture hair as our mother and sisters dont have the issues black women claim to have? Because we dont try to change our hair to a texture that is not our own. We dont stretch it or do other stuff to compromise the integrity of the strength of our hair.

Damn you ladies had me in tears with your brutal honesty.I have so much respect for because you did not lie nor deflect, project, and come up with excuses. I am MAD that you have to alter your hair just to be noticed, validated, loved, and respected. It is such bs that you have to go through all that. I am so sorry..you ladies are f...... gorgeous. I will admit as being a biracial male my hair is easy to care for even when it was longer in my younger days. My hair is 2c..so I never had to deal with the jokes because mine is considered "good hair" more european. Whites and blacks would always praise me by saying I am "lucky" that my hair looks more like my white mom. Looking back, it was wrong to say that to me on so many levels...because I can see why mixed race people develop a superiority complex...it all makes sense now smh. So many mixed race are seen as pretty bc of of having light skin, 2/3 hair light eyes etc. The original subsaharan west africans were very dark/4c hair. Mixed race people esp the women are constantly placed over black women...and this is why I would never consider mixed as black because we are usually preferred by whites etc over nonmixed blacks. We have a totally different experience. I have a much better understanding of your situation, but wear your natural hair and stand tall. F...those silly weaves....whenever you wear them its like apologizing for being black(famous quote from Viola Davis). You are queens...without those weaves. Lots of love to you gorgeous women. I do understand 4c hair may experience breakage, so maybe explore wigs that are 4b/4c. At least in this case, you are presenting authenticity. If you want to instill pride to black girls/women to model, then practice what you preach and stand in it TALL. If people cannot accept your 4c hair...then it's your gain and their loss. I just want to hug you two for having the guts to speak your truth without excuses...xoxoxoxo.

The man who said they just “want the cheeks” when they see women in wigs was just BS-ing around the truth lol. There’s plenty of women who don’t wear their natural hair that have relationships. It felt like that was another way of going around the point that men only like a certain TYPE of natural hair. Because type 4 natural hair, a bussdown, and locs pulls completely different men for a reason and it has something to do with texturism.

I’m listening but why wear a straight hair wig to your waist? It’s completely fake. That is definitely NOT your hair. Aren’t there wigs closer to your hair type? Plus it reflects poorly on mixed race black women whose natural hair is long and straight. It seems to people that All black women wear wigs, have straight perms or flat iron to straightness, however some of us don’t do this or need to do this.

But one misconception is that we cannot put water in our hair…your hair needs moisture to grow and that’s why a lot of black women have trouble with breakage/dryness. I spritz my hair with water daily and seal it with a curl cream/spray and my hair has been growing and staying moisturized!

I appreciate the honesty. As someone who has been natural since 1998, I want to encourage you to wear your hair however you choose. What I think is strange, however, is that people will invest so much time, effort and money into making their wigs and weaves look good, but will never do the same when it comes to taking care of their natural hair. Oftentimes, the natural hair under these hairpieces looks like it hasn't seen shampoo, deep conditioner or moisturizer in ages. It's also interesting that people will see how the wigs and weaves are damaging their hairline, to the point that their edges have migrated to the southernmost tip of Argentina, but continue to wear the wigs and weaves.

I'm going to save my comment until the end, I want to comment on everything. How protective is a style if it ends the life of your edges? And please, lets stop with the over generalizing, to make ourselves feel better. How many years has it be since you all have seen the high school halls. Your hair is difficult to deal with because you are spending all your time dealing with a wig! Back in my day wigs were for older ladies dealing with hair loss. My opinion, it's okay to wear a wig every once in a while. But take that extra time to love and care on YOUR hair and YOURself. I feel sad for you ladies, your worth depends on how others view you. Your worth was given to you by God and God alone, you do him a disservice by not honoring that. My last comment, I'm retired military, I transitioned will in the military. I now work for the government, I'm natural everyday (curly and straight). This is an internal issue. Lastly, I'm way older than you guys at 48, you all have time. My beautiful sisters God bless you all, loved the conversation!

I went natural in 2009, but in the middle of my journey for about 3-4 years, I started wearing straight weaves, then went straight back to strictly natural and now wear a twa that I water daily. My bf says this is the most badass and sexy I’ve ever looked, he’s not a brother but Mexican American. Other people also complement my hair since I’ve cut it short recent. I think a lot of the insecurities we have with wearing our natural hair especially if it is kinkier and/or shorter comes from conditioning in our youth (back in the days) because it is more acceptable now. It took me years to get to this point in my journey and I hope all black women get here soon too. ❤

Am lost about our hair not liking water, water breaks the 4c hair? I am 4c and my hair thrives only with water. Water causes shrinkage that is all. And shrinkage caused by water makes my hair is softer etc. Spend time with your natural hair, give it a real chance before making such discouraging statements for the sake of newbies.

For women of African descent with type 4 hair, no. Historically, such women were not allowed to wear their hair in its “natural” state because it was perceived as unprofessional. Hence, the need for the recently passed (2022-2023) legislation called the CROWN act. This statewide law prohibits discrimination based on hair texture and style. Secondly, men of African descent primarily “prefer” type 1-3 hair textures whether they admit it or not. Most women of African descent (at least 90% of them) have type 4 hair. Thus, they do not possess the preferred hair type of their male counterparts. The men say they prefer “natural” hair but that is NOT true based on their actions. Men of African descent have built very few institutions (e.g., organizations, publications, movies, music) that celebrate type 4 hair in its natural state. For example, show me the last time Jay Z had an ad that showcased a woman wearing the hairstyle he is currently wearing (freeform locks)? NEVER. Name a billionaire business executive, politician, attorney, medical doctor, or pastor of African descent who has a significant other who wears her type 4 hair in its natural state? NONE. Finally, women have the right to be women and to wear their hair in whatever style they desire. Most of those complaining about women of African descent wearing weaves/wigs are simply jealous that it looks good on them, and they cannot do the same. Excellent job, ladies! Peace, love, and light.

Have you seen African movies and their media representation? Like you stated in Africa students are forced to shave their hair down because it’s looked down upon. Whiteness has infiltrated how Africans view 4C hair. Some African schools won’t allow students to wear locs. If you want to be accepted in society or be seen as professional you are pushed into wearing weaves, straighten your hair or shaving it short in order to progress or be seen as beautiful.

Cognitive dissonance- the discomfort a person feels when their behavior does not align with their values or beliefs. To cope, we need heavy doses of denial, rationalization, and magical thinking. Someone could write a whole dissertation on this. Or you could start by reading Frantz Fanon’s “Black Skin, White Masks.”

The style of hair you’re wearing may not speak to your character, but it does speak to your level of self-esteem. No one is attracted to someone who appears to have low self-esteem.

I just have to say that you all are beautiful! I just wanted to emphasize that our hair is being HIDDEN AND COVERED UP. Our hair can'fully thrive the way it was meant to being covered up all of the time. I am natural and have been for 7 years now. 3c very kinky and coily. I have recently completely decided that I am enough! I don't need to add to what my Creator made. Enhancing our features is great but when our need to fit in and be like everyone that society says is the standard, that means we need to self-reflect! The most freeing thing for me is that I am free in my mind and my hair should represent that. Also, for the little Mama's that look up to us, whhat message are we sending? What are we silently saying to them. We havve to doo the work, learn our haie just like we learn our body. It is a relationship. Would you want to be with someone that doesn't want to show you to the world? No... Our hair feels the same way. The itching, our scalp and hair sceeaming to be feee. At the end of the day, we all have to do what works for ourselves,but at the same time, truth will set us free!! Be blessed❤❤

Are we going to have our first LOS wedding soon?? Thank you for another great episode, ladies. I appreciate the honesty and vulnerability of this conversation. I can relate to the anxiety of not feeling presentable when wearing my natural hair out. Similarly, I have felt underdressed at fancy events while wearing my natural hair/braids vs. a wig or weave. It's comforting to know that I am not alone in these feelings and I thank you all for providing a safe space for these conversations.

Do locks or twists. You ladies look great, Black beauty personified, but your hair starkly clashes with your phenotype so much that its distracting. Your weave doesnt at all look like it could be coming from your very Black self. My 22 year old daughter has had long beautiful fuul locs since she was 7-9. If you wear extensions, for goodness sake, wear kinky Africoid textured extensions please. Yall are beautiful. Stay rising.

I wear my natural hair straight…. So I hate myself? Even tho I’ve worn my curls and have had 2 sets of locs for 14 years? Laughable. It’s a hairstyle. Now if you wear a different texture because you hate your hair, THATS self hate.

Hmmmm, 🤔, Black men often dictate how black women should look, yet ironically, many of these men prefer dating outside their race or favor light-skinned, long-haired black women. Unlike black women, we don't impose fashion or hairstyle choices on black men, the call is for everyone to embrace their individuality and feel comfortable, beautiful, and confident. We are all individuals and should be treated and seen as such!

I don't like the hair typing. Nobody ever said anything about hair type back in the day. This type of hair typing gives little girls a complex. Who came up with this BS. I think all of you are pretty girls and you are just wearing "A STYLE" natural 1234 ABC hair is ridiculous. Just learn to love your natural hair and your weave both with the same amount of love. Relaxed hair is only damaged when you don't know how to take care of it.

I liked the video, it is a great topic that should be more discussed about. I also want to say that I feel frustrated listening to certain things in the video because I feel like the main reasons why you mentioned that some black women wear weaves and wigs are because of the reactions and the point of vues of others : pressure from the society, the fact that there were not other black people in your surroundings and you wanted to blend in the beauty standards. The thing is i think that we, black women should define what our beauty is, and not other people. In the video, you talked about your background and the fact that you tried to be « presentable » and felt the pressure to always be at the top of your form, which implicates wearing weaves and wigs. The thing is, what do WE, black women think about our hair, and how do we at least try to accept, acknowledge and love our natural hair? We, black women should define what OUR beauty is, not the society, not people, no one but OURSELVES. Still, there will always be pressure and negative comments about our hair, but we should be even more confident because of the characteristics of our hair. Our hair is unique, and WE should broadcast OUR beauty, our hair as it is (with maintenance and styling). It can be hard to manage it every single day, but i truly think that it is a game changer in the perception of ourselves, self love, confidence and our true beauty and uniqueness. So to all the black woman, please, show your natural hair, put them in the light, we need representation. You cannot imagine how showing your natural hair can impact a lot of black women who are not that confident about their hair. We are beautiful as we are, no matter what others think. Wear your crown and show it proudly and confidently. Thank you ladies of sosa for your honest thoughts on the subject
