People's Reaction to LONG Natural Hair is Insane...

[@prettynpetty8342]

Black womens' hair is some of the most fragile high maintenance hair on the face of the earth and, to me, that's so feminine. Many women give up on taking care of it because it's needs lots of care and attention. Our hair is like a cloud. It's so soft and supple. So fem ❤

[@YourSisterAmoura]

yesss! our hair is soo beautiful 😻

[@NamasteInYourLane]

Honestly our hair isn't as high maintenance as we think. I agree we have unique and captivating hair. However, we make managing it more difficult than it is. We don't need all the rice water, apple cider vinegar, oils, butters, creams, etc. All we need is to shampoo, condition, use a leave in conditioner heat protectant when styling then finish with a hair serum then style it. That's it. We can keep a style in for weeks at a time but other races of girls have to wash and blow dry their day almost daily.

I have longish hair and I get tired being asked if it’s weave 🥴

[@YourSisterAmoura]

it’s honestly ridiculous how many people cannot fathom black women having hair past their shoulders

[@far6311]

I'm 28 and of course I no longer live at home. My own mom asked if my hair was real. My. Own. Mom. The woman who raised me and knows how long my hair gets 😂

[@tonie48]

Same, my shrinkage makes my hair super short, but my hair is probably at bra strap length

[@littleleah310]

yes!! i remember wearing my afro to school and some asshole of a classmate was like “you’re wearing a wig” 💀 huh?! shut up!! i told them it was actually my hair and it was simply just that long and they laughed like it was impossible 😭 i was weirded out and kinda confused so i just laughed it off 😂

[@jasminscarbrough2596]

@@littleleah310 smh… that’s annoying how they think of us. I would have been super annoyed

[@honks9484]

My natural hair (3c/4a) is waist-length but shrinks up a few inches down my shoulders and when I wore it out to the flea market, a guy gave me a discount on one of the items he was selling that I wanted to buy😊

[@jaybrown3415]

natural hair my fav! short, medium, long, curly or straight! no make up, no lip fillers, no botox, no fake baby hairs, no bbls, no fake boobies! you were fine the way you were born!!! insecurity is a trillion dollar business!! plastic surgeons make the most money in the medical field!

[@Gairuntee]

No matter what race or hair type, people looooove seeing women with really long hair.

[@Ferrist1]

We're talking about blk women.

[@doll.ov.poetrii4682]

​@@Ferrist1 Exactly. They always "all lives matter" all over the comment sections of videos that are uplifting BW.

[@HandleBerries]

@@Ferrist1I think they were just making a statement,they didn’t mean any harm and it’s true,regardless of the texture or density whatever any type hair that’s long is considered beautiful

[@yourcousinduchessrowena]

That’s very true but the only difference is that BW get treated very differently for having short hair especially compared to other races. And also sometimes the comments on BW are more backhanded as opposed to a compliment. As if BW cannot have long hair.

[@tiredoftheworld4834]

@@Ferrist1they said it because people say long hair is “Eurocentric” 😂

[@BlissfulMartini]

I have waist length hair and I’ve been wearing it curly as opposed to straight for a few weeks now. The amount of people who ask what products I use, or what im mixed with is crazy. 😅 There’s no grand secret that I’m aware of 🤷🏽‍♀️.

[@mrsp5808]

7:05 omg I love that. A black man saying positive things about black women. Melted my heart honestly

[@AFocusedLiving]

Since wearing textured hair and seeing pictures of natural hair more I don’t find the excitement of other textures anymore

[@tiredoftheworld4834]

Same! People are mentally conditioned by the media and colonialism to hate their hair. Always seeing images of those who look nothing like them pedestalized

[@laylor4360]

I’m natural and this inspired me even further to play around with styles 🤍✨ I’ve subscribed I’m loving channels like yours do the work of inspiring more women and girls to go natural! 💖

[@meimeilei]

Black women are so beautiful, sometimes I am such in awe of them that I STARE. Just stare. I think it must be awkward and since I'm white, some ladies might think negatively of such behavior of mine, But people's eyes are made to admire beauty, it hurts my eyes when I have to look the other way 🥺

[@Tomisinshalewa]

Aww that's so sweet Mei Mei🥹

[@fidaus540]

it's crazy my black coworker told me my hair can't be my real hair it must be fake ,I proceded to show him my scalp and he still saying my hair ain't real. Another white coworker then proceded to say I've probably been growing my hair my whole life and never cut it thats why it's so long mind you it's been 3 years ish since i did the big chop . It's like the world just doesn't believe black women can have long hair or different hair texture other than 4c

[@KevinSamuelsPowerBottom]

My hair is just below my shoulder blades. I consider them smedium in lengt. Waist length is short-term goal 😊 I'm getting there. The healthy, long hair journey is fun so far.

[@mourgie]

3:24 I heard a woman who travels abroad solo say that she found out that some people will take pictures of black women with their natural hair, especially in parts of Asia, just to laugh at them🤦🏽‍♀️. Needless to say she doesn’t allow people to take photos with her. But some of these pictures in nature with the full Afros are beautiful.

[@Nani-zp7km]

I was adopted by white parents and grew up around mostly white people, so whenever I went to get my hair done I was suprised at how many people would tell me “wow your hairs really long!” I had no idea that black women having long hair was such a novelty to some people😭

[@Jem5122]

It can also be due to the shrinkage, which makes it impossible to know exactly how long someones hair is. In addition to what you said

[@mourgie]

5:05 when my hair was much shorter, barely even an inch long, I still received attention from men. I definitely noticed a shift in the type of men that I was attracting but I wasn’t really mad about it. Didn’t really get any attention from Asian men but older black men, Latino and a few white men were very much pursuing me. I asked what they thought about my hair out of curiosity and maybe some uncertainty, some said they like it, it was very fitting for me and some said they just didn’t care… of course there were men who gave me dirty looks like they they wanted to start problems with me🤨 but you can’t please everybody and some people just need to find something to complain about when they don’t want to address their own issues. Bottom line walk with confidence and show up authentically whatever man truly cares for you as a person won’t ask that care on your appearance.

[@Essetheartist]

I love us but we need to be focused on running an industry fr

[@tiredoftheworld4834]

Both things

[@TelasDiary]

Lately I have been wearing a pony tail. Some women I work with are envious. Been natural for 15 years always got complements on my hair its has never been as long as it is now which is mid-back. Example one of coworkers couldn't look me in eyes I would catch roll her eyes at my hair. Dealing with that hateful energy is exhausting as heck. But I will continue to grow out my hair I have a goal of tail bone length I won't stop till I get it. Keep rolling your eyes.

[@LethalLemonLime]

3:15 online forums lol but not on mainstream global sites. their own sites in their language. one black girl i know (i live in south korea) found her photo online and people were saying racist and anti-african comments about her in korean. the photo was from a cultural event too and she was wearing traditional clothes in the photo.

[@LethalLemonLime]

5:24 Yeah but shrinkage. My hair isn't long, but it isn't short either. It's bra strap length. That isn't considered short for straight hair. But when your hair is natural and you don't blow it out or straighten it, it's essentially short. Everyone pretty much thinks I have short, neck length hair cause thats where my twistouts hang even when I stretch them. My hair would have to be down to my knees for it to look average length in a twist out.

[@rivervlogs274]

I love your content👍🏼you have some great videos on your channel!Keep it coming, I like to see it❤️

[@LethalLemonLime]

99%* of us can grow our hair down our back. A lot of us just refuse to care for their hair properly. Or more likely (which I've seen a lot) think that what they're doing is proper but isn't.

[@yamocamer6418]

They put the picture in their Insta.

[@jennny22233]

Only reason I’m getting a relaxer is bcs of time but even then, ppl will be shocked bcs they think relaxers break off your hair. Either way, our hair is VERY high maintenance

[@tiredoftheworld4834]

Yes they do. My mom is in her 50s and ACTUALLY got LOCKS because she noticed the relaxer was breaking off her hair and thinning it out very early and she has naturally thicker hair (where I get mine from)

[@ShadowStarlight]

My 4a,4b hair is prolonged and tediuos to grow. It break easy, Especially my hair on the back of my head : 0.

[@kendradavis9573]

So I tried the two week no wash as if I had braids in (natural hair twist) and the growth was amazing and carols daughter growth oil and my hair loves water lol

[@PLTbyCormie]

Black men love natural hair..whatever you believe the universe will give you evidence of it..women need to understand very short hair or bald hair is a natural sign of either sickness, or being a baby or toddler. When grown women wait til they are older to cut it off and go natural they have a phase before it gets longer meaning year 1-3 where it’s in a weird phase and it’s most likely for women to cut it perm it. I’m even gray now and it gets soooo much attention..people can sense a confident person..period and yes hair is a crown on top which people see first when they look at you and they sense your aura..it breeds jealousy too unfortunately but learning to love yourself and your hair go hand in hand!

[@Sha_Tee]

It’s great and wonderful, however it’s not that big of a deal. Men will still cheat or be looking at the next chick short hair medium length or long 😂

[@tiredoftheworld4834]

Wth are you on about. This isn’t about men. This is about US

[@ami-el7dg]

They'll also cheat when you got a weave on so what's your point? On top of that, this is about BLACK WOMEN promoting self love and acceptance through loving our natural hair, not how to get a man.
