She explained to me how much easier it was and how freeing it was to be able to get her hair wet in the rain or while swimming.

Oddly, I've never experienced what she's describing, and km also black. To some degree, I think people just assume their hair will not be acceptable, and then treat it in order to fit into the assumption they came up with. Her boss asked what happened to her hair because it was different from what she normally does. But what's wrong with asking that question? Why must her first assumption be that he or she is being disrespectful (implied by the word "audacity")? This is the part I don't understand, personally. She should just do her hair however she wants to. Most people don't actually care and haven't cared for years at this point. Her hair is beautiful, and it would have been nice to see this post without the insinuation that she's been pressured to treat her hair purely for the benefit of others who don't have the same hair type. She should just be okay knowing that she may have imagined the pressure, and just post videos being happy with how she does her hair.

Your hair looks beautiful and so do you. Don't let people shame you for choosing to be your authentic self. It always baffles me why people think we have to conform to what their idea of beauty is.

[@Qu33nVictoria]

She's not letting ppl shame her... she's experiencing the shame of having natural hair already woven into the american culture of being Black and wearing your natural hair.

[@twirlygirlie1]

Beautiful!!! The struggle is real, Sis! I haven’t straightened my hair in four years and feel so much better about my own hair now. It takes a lot to overcome what society tells us about beauty but uou are amazing! Keep inspiring us!

[@lisamiller1804]

People need to be able to rock whatever kind of hair they have without ANY kind of repercussion. Your hair is absolutely gorgeous! I'd love to have curly hair sigh LOL....

I'm so proud of you, I've always thought black hair was beautiful. I'm glad more people are learning how to do just this.

I've never understood why black women are treated so badly for wearing their hair as is. Black women have beautiful hair, across the spectrum! ❤

Love, happened to her hair! No one is more beautiful than a natural Black woman.

Your natural hair is stunning. It makes me sad that we still live in a world where people don't embrace the beauty of our differences.

[@shirleymarie2288]

You have such beautiful hair. I've got to admit when I was young I was jealous of people with curls like yours. Then one day I discovered that women actually get shamed for their natural curls. I'm so glad you decided to start loving your hair. You're beautiful and so are your curls.

You have very beautiful hair. I’m in the process of going natural. I’m 8 months in after the big chop. Decades of hair color and relaxers. Enough!!! I’ve already had 6” of growth and I’m loving it. Retired now so I have all the time that I need to I reach my nirvana. 💇🏽‍♀️🌌

[@ravenwilkens2122]

On the note of “what happened to your hair”… One of my coworkers and I get along decently well and I asked her this exact question when we were still new to each other. She had very long hair and then came in with shorter, natural hair. I asked what happened to her hair not because “her natural hair is unprofessional”, but GIRL, the hair these women be paying for is EXPENSIVE AF hell yeah imma ask what happened. She had her sew in in for a few days before she took it out, that’s money WASTED so something had to have been bothering her about it, and it was. Point is, we’re humans and sometimes the things we say no matter how good intentioned we say them, we can’t decide how the other person is going to react. Thankfully in my case my coworker knew I wasn’t being judgmental by any means 😅

[@lavenderbee3611]

It's no fun going through life being offended over every little comment somebody makes. People will just stay clear of you if it's a constant theme.

[@jchelbi]

Clearly this scenario is not the same and the context is completely different. I hate when y’all act dense. The woman in the video is speaking about racial discrimination and texturism.

[@origamikiddo2625]

Yes, it's about different styles and not understanding. Means the wig was really passing that this guy's was like wow, how did that change so quickly??

[@BerniceWonderdog]

Seeing malevolence when what you're experiencing is someone's curiosity and insensitivity is a theme when it comes to white people commenting on a black girl's hair ... and I say insensitivity because "what happened to your hair" sounds as if something bad happened. He could have said "Can I ask about your hair it looks so different, what did you do". @@origamikiddo2625

The wigs are also used as a protective style same with braids❤

@@Opa773 a protective style is a style that protects the hair and helps it grow like a style that protects the hair and helps it flourish/grow and that’s what braids do and with wigs we braid down our hair and when done the right way it will help our hair grow and stuff lol I’m not that good at explaining so I hope this helps feel free to ask any more questions if this was confusing 😶

[@rosie9385]

Some people don't know anything about wigs. A lot of people just assume that's your hair because people do such a great job with wigs. It's not always a negative statement. Our insecurities about our hair don't need to be projected onto others. That's deep-rooted in us by our own family. The jerks that are being negative are ignorant. Be unphased, they aren't worth it.
