Decided to drop this on a Friday cause I really wanted to have this convo with you guys! There will still be a Sunday upload 🖤🖤🖤 Makeup tutorial on this look - kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoOahIyDjdFjfac

I really enjoyed the video and your thoughts on the video! This was a great video idea

[@shakilamuhammad5503]

PLEASE React to the Jamaican America's next top model show. There was a model there who's known for her natural hair and they made her perm her hair and the woman yelled at her for being unprofessional tell her she's misbehaving. It just ended all her business and she left the show.

This is something I think, say, feel evertday!!! I dnt have an daughter yet but I love how Black Women have put on the armour to change, uplift, and empowered our community. The difference from when I started my natural journey to now...the looks, the comments, "jokes" then my whole family started to go natural. I love all the little girls with full, long hair makes my soul smile. We did that!!!!

@@LolaJay_ I think Cantu leave-in has isopropyl alcohol in it, so be careful. Kinky Curly Knot Today is a good leave-in and it has good slip. It's thick so I like to put some in a spray bottle and dilute it with water. It's not hard to find, I buy mine from Walmart, Target, or local beauty supply. Hope this helps!😊

[@RaelynnOnToast]

Thanks andre, you keep trying to!🧡

[@andretaylor2501]

I really don’t understand why it was setup like this. The fact that we even have to encourage our women to love their natural hair is so traumatic to me. I watched “bad hair” on Hulu and I got the message like if she switches away from her natural she is open to many different forces/spirits because she is not her normal self. She’s walking the cloak from someone else. This is not to say if you wear weave or wigs it’s negative. I really wish black men would stop saying that(they the only ones who be saying that)! you just have to protect your hair like that’s it just like everybody else. It’s not much to it.

[@Theweirdcousin]

I swear, every natural had the rite of passage with Cantu. It’s part of the journey lol

[@vayoha02]

I NEVER used cantu. My hair dresser used Doo Gro products in my hair. It was an experience for both of us in 2005. That's when I went natural.

Fact

[@jerikitaxr21]

That's a real touchy subject for me. I'm Dominican and was getting my hair relaxed since i was 4 and i can't even tell you how liberating it was too see what my actual hair looked like, cuz i didn't even know. I had to learn on my own. I remember going to the Dominican hair salon one last time so she could trim the last if the relaxed parts off and when i got off the chair with my full fro the lady said with a disgusted face "let's see how long you'll last " and now I'm here loving my hair more than anything.

[@tiffanyi524]

I almost cried watching this video. During quarantine I’ve gone on zoom meetings with mini twists, cornrolls, and updos. Before each meeting I had to big myself and remind myself that it’s possible to be natural and professional. At the end of the day, hair is not just hair especially when pertaining to black women. I also think we can all resonate and connect with Kat in that aspect ❤️

[@notyouraveragejoe7003]

When I went natural in high school, I always thought natural hair was more professional than relaxed hair. Tv commercials or tv shows always had “professional” women with natural hair. It’s funny to hear that a lot of other woc think it’s the opposite

[@tiffanyi524]

Not Your Average Joe I always thought natural hair was and is beautiful in all ramifications. However we live in a society where hair discrimination among black women/men and little black boys and girls are real. A lot of black girls/boys and black women have been sent home from school, suspended or fired/discriminated in workplaces. I’m usually the only black woman in a predominately white workplace so that’s why my natural hairstyles are important to me. The CROWN Act is so important because it bans hair discrimination in the school/work place and unfortunately only a few states implemented this law. That’s why I said hair is not just hair especially if its part of systematic racism directed towards a specific group. I love me and I thank God over my hair all the time love. Perhaps my message was misconstrued.

[@jtdeluxe5943]

Tiffany Nne. Igwe TRUTH one time I was told at work braids were unprofessional and I had to find another style and then my same boss that said that sat there and did cornrows for a white woman at our job. I was honestly taken aback

JTdeluxe what in the actual hell??? I would have been FUMING😤 😡 😠

[@tiffanyi524]

JTdeluxe aw hell nah!!! Was it possible to report?? They straight up discriminated against you. I would have been more than pissed 😤

[@cordeliadaniels]

Here's a story for you....I am 51 years old and bi-racial. When I was 8 years old my mom took me to a beauty salon and had my first relaxer put in. Circa 1977. And for the next 40 years my hair remained relaxed! Fast forward to 2017 and now I have a lot of gray hair coming in. So I decided I needed to color my hair to cover the gray but I knew I couldn't relax AND color because my hair can't take all that chemical. So I decided to go natural. I just gradually cut off the relaxed ends as the new growth grew in. No big chop. Once all the relaxed hair was gone and I really saw my natural hair, AND CURLS, for the first time....it brought me to tears! For 40 years I never knew my natural hair was so beautiful and curly! I remember my mom fussing with my hair and never knowing what to do with it. I remember it was dry and kinky, mainly because it wasn't being well maintained. I don't blame my mother she simply had no idea as most white women don't when it comes to black hair. And it was the 70's! Grease and a hot comb was the rage back then. Or a fro! So now in 2020 for the first time in pretty much my WHOLE DAMN LIFE, I am in love with my hair! It is somewhere in the 3c to 4a curl pattern and thanks to all you wonderful youtubers I know how to take care of it. I can't believe I wasted the prime of my life literally abusing the f out of my hair trying to get it to look the way it does NATURALLY! I have a 3 month old granddaughter who as long as I'm alive will NEVER see a relaxer. I already made a blend of the finest natural oils for her so her hair will get off to a good start. And I colored my hair too so no more gray!

[@catastrophe3205]

Aww I'm so happy to read that! You deserve all the happiness in the world💗

[@Tonibaby101]

So beautiful🤍

[@Sofie2734]

Hey if you want to dye your hair with no chemicals and have it be super moisturizer, you should use henna. It’s super permanent and very moisturizing as well as completely natural.

[@privatejoy13]

Sofia Prendiville I had the opposite experience with henna, caused so much breakage.

[@soupafleye]

i’m so sorry for you but happy at the same time! i’m also biracial and my mom is white but never allowed me to relax when i was desperate to fit in with everyone else. i’m so grateful. natural black hair is so beautiful in all it’s textures so i’m happy you’re finally exploring and enjoying it!!

[@jasmyntailor3810]

I love how respectful you were about her the whole video! You could’ve said so many negative things about her, people love to talk trash, but you didn’t! You’re like an encouraging friend! Loved this video

[@KandidKinks]

People on the internet tend to be really mean & it seems like they forget that they are talking about another human. Or maybe they don’t care, but thanks so much I really try to keep it positive over here.

[@islandsherr6871]

That is what stood out the most to me as well. I clicked on it hoping, hard, that it was not going to be one long dragging, invalidating her every thought and word, because she's too "light" to have an opinion on her own blackness. There is so much gatekeeping going around, and I am sick of it. This reaction was a joy to watch. So heart warming. Thanks for the smile it put on my face.

[@rainbowsky123]

Yes it beautiful to have her be so sweet about her hair journey! Really love your comment too 🤩

[@aja1108]

I agree. I " look like" this woman and it gets real touchy in the black community when you look this way. I felt so happy with how you acknowledged her as US because the segregation is sooooo hurtful to woman that look like us when it comes from the people we actually identify with. Im filled with a warm and happy feeling. Also you are soooo hot, those shoulders and that skin wow!!!

[@Jae.Edmond]

She made me cry! She's been my girl since TVD!

[@jaimim3675]

“I’ve never had to be on my own with me hair... My hair will work with me if I don’t give up on it.” I feel this in my soul. I’m sure a lot of natural girls felt this. The fact that this is on the Vogue page too , and that she is so comfortable is a testament to the progress of Afro-centric hair in the public eye.

[@Camille4Real]

Kat is a family friend and when I tell you that she is so normal and nice... ❤️ Your commentary warms my heart!

I've been wearing my hair out for almost 3 years now and I cant even see myself wearing a weave or wig unless it matches my texture. I hope more black people would embrace their natural ahir texures

[@tionnajohnson8430]

[@KandidKinks]

I definitely agree, especially if they’ve seen her in movies/shows

[@VayBabe]

FOR SURE, I can imagine all the young girls she inspired with that video and I hope she inspired other actresses to share their stories too

[@antoinettechevalier2453]

I felt the same way: high porosity/low density “type4” hair that she’s learning to love. That video was deep - the tears ... learning to love her hair the way it grows outta her head. I was moved.

[@VayBabe]

Our hair is SO important because it is unique to us not just as Black people but as *BLACK WOMEN*. Our society has discriminated against Black hair for centuries but it has been way more accepting of afro textures on Black men than on Black women. Styles like locs and afros and even braids have always been viewed negatively but we are quicker to accept them on men than on women. So I don't mean to cast aside Black men, we ALL face our own issues, but our struggle as Black women with afro hair is unique to us and it unites us in a way that is stronger than any other culture. Black girl magic is truly a beautiful and incredible thing. God bless us!

[@BlackCherryBabe]

Black men be marrying outside their race and not trying to make sure their sons and daughters know about themselves. It’s sad is hell.

[@avionlanier5574]

@@BlackCherryBabe marrying outside their race doesn't mean anything. They probably don't teach them cause they don't know. I'm 30 trying figure out myself out still.

[@VayBabe]

@@avionlanier5574 the problem is when people marry outside their race and then start trashing their own people. I’ve seen it happen with Black men AND Black women. We need to learn that it’s ok to date outside our race but don’t forget who you are or the community you came from. If you want to marry a white woman, fine, but don’t put down Black women in the process. And vice versa. Surprisingly, I learned that from my very white boyfriend haha

I'm still not there yet and it probably didn't help, that I had the sides and back of my hair shaved off, so now I feel like I look like a guy. I still have a lot on top, but other than fingercoils, I have no idea what to do with it.

[@demekonrn]

I loved Kat Graham's Vogue video. It was eye-opening to see her so raw & suddenly enlightened about her hair. An yes I will never forget how Tyra & the other judges treated Yaya Da'Costa when she was rocking her natural hair. That shit was bizarre.

[@KandidKinks]

Sooo bizarre

[@browneyes2790]

yesss back in the day that always bothered me how tyra and the judges basically told yaya not to be too black. like it was so upsetting to me

[@functionalproductjunkie]

Loooovvvveeeddd this!!! I’m so glad she’s finding her way with her natural hair ☺️ she’s definitely a newbie but she’s on her way and she’s doing it on her own and learning about herself and her hair 🙌🏽 I’m proud of her 😊🙌🏽

our hair is our crown. when i first went fully natural, i could just see the confidence boost in myself and so could people around me. i was born and raised in a majority white area, so straight hair was just all around me and that’s what i saw was beautiful. once i big chopped and actually saw that i had curls, i really started to love myself and saw the beauty in myself and in my hair.

[@angellafrancis9726]

Lmao..its nice to see her embracing her hair...she new to the natural hair journey but i bet she will learn quickly.

[@crisdebelle]

I'm glad the natural hair community is so big and influential for the younger and older generations , i love when little girls or even older women compliment my hair and vice versa and we exchange advices , I just feel so happy . The younger generation doesn't have to hate their natural hair , because it's more in the media . My one year old niece tries to do her hair when I'm doing mine , so cutee 🥰😍

yes!! i'm a biracial teen and this really inspired me to want to heal my hair, not long ago i was straightening my hair everyday because i didn't know how to deal with it but watching her video really touched me and made me want to change

you are like the most beautiful woman I have ever seen your skin is so glowy its insane

[@KandidKinks]

Omg thank you

[@ahhhitgavebirth8125]

"we find a deeper level of love for ourselves" This is the most truthful statement I've ever heard! I never really stopped in the mirror and hyped myself up before I cut off my dreads, took care of my hair, and was finally seeing the health and growth. I felt like a Queen. A woman's hair is truly her pride and glory. Just today while I was taking out my braids I looked at myself in the mirror and suddenly I felt damn cute for no reason. I have to make sure my future babies know what this feels like, my self confidence shot up like a rocket. I'm still learning how to take care of my hair but so far the emotional journey has been a blast. Whew chile my afro is pretty big even with the shrinkage after I just finished washing. Ima remember them kids at school who called me bald headed when I first cut my hair and when I wore cornrows to school. Wait till I get my afro pick. I'm coming for y'alls heads, periodt.

You’re right about the beauty supply oils. Read the ingredients; they’re not all 100% pure oils.

[@aisatougassama4893]

Exactly

[@thefactsaccordingtogabbie149]

Hair oil is the main thing I DON'T buy and refuse to buy at the beauty supply store. I peek game along time ago.

I just buy regular 100% virgin oils from the supermarket, at least that way you know if it’s good enough to eat it’s good enough for your hair lol

[@kaiyabruton4260]

I struggled a lot trying to learn to love my natural hair. I grew up in a predominately white area, so trying to love my 4b textured hair was hard for me. watching this video of a black celebrity who had the same experience is so comforting. I love that she's learning to embrace her hair.

[@maratogether3439]

Cantu is the baby stage 😄 glad u did this video was fun to watch .. and the half pound gulp of product was EVERYTHING!!! 😁

[@idoyes1400]

I literally was just watching this the other day and i loved it!!

[@mswtaz94]

I have never used Cantu 😂😂. I hope someone eventually tells her she doesn’t need to use the whole jar. The Briogeo is nice. You did not say half a pound 😂. I’m older so I’ve been through wearing my natural hair in the 60’s and 70’s. I’m just glad I went back. Glad she did the video and is finding herself through her hair.

[@dancerchickk]

Right! I just want her to watch some KZbin videos and learn about sectioning and using water Hahhaa I’m glad she’s on the road tho

[@pumpkinjellyfish]

I have the same issue as her. I’m biracial. My mom always dropped me off at salons to get my hair braided or get a weave. It wasn’t until I turned 21 when I moved out and had to take care of my hair myself. I had no idea what I was doing so I shaved it all off. It’s growing back, but all I’ve been doing is watching videos trying to learn.

[@gabrielmichael3701]

I love that you can tell how honest Kat is being. Pulling out the Cantu felt so relatable and real. Her creative team could have easily done their research and presented the most bougie, and even more effective products, but it would’ve felt like an ad. This was genuine.

[@mrs.knowsitall3019]

I had watched this video yesterday on vogue and I started crying then just like I’m crying now. This was beautiful to watch. I’m happy for her and am so happy she’s embracing the natural beauty of her gorgeous hair.

[@sliq8687]

Kat should link up with whoever does Yara's hair even though her texture is different. I could see alot of those natural styles looking so pretty on her. She would look good with a shorter cut too, nice face shape.

[@DRAMATICLEGS]

That Cantu Leav-In was a staple in the beginning! Couldn't tell me any different lol

[@SystematicAttic]

I've never used Cantu 🤷🏾‍♀️, but I never big chopped, I've been natural my whole life.

[@lovinglifeseverymoment7360]

@Systematic Attic I’ve never used Cantu, nor have I big chopped, I’ve been natural since 2014.

I love Kat!💚 💙 💜 She was the best thing about Vampire Diaries even thought they put my gurl through it! She IS cute! I have fine hair too, a lot of it but fine! I totally relate to feeling brand new about taking care of it since I only ever have shaved my head or grown it out to loc... Quarantine is deep. IT is a time of healing for a lot of us needing to just be with ourselves on any level. 💗 👁🌈🍄✨

[@Timetrae]

I love black hair too and yes I experienced finding a deeper beauty within that I didn’t know existed and yes it was crazy because it’s been there all along and majority of us had no idea!!! Also, yes Kay saying that about playing a role where she looks like herself was heavy!!!

[@sadesxoxo2783]

It’s crazy that we all really used Cantu when we first started going natural 😭

[@Blahgirl283]

Love Kat Graham, was so happy for her finally coming into loving her natural hair after so many years in an industry that alienated her from it and a childhood that didn’t offer her a relationship to it. So proud of and happy for her!! ❤️

You’ve been working hard All Day! Kat turned you into a proud mama😊 I love the way she was still so emotional I was triggered bcuz I used to cry every Sunday 🤬while trying desperately to fall in love with hair🌹I made it

[@mrod87]

Bruhhhhh I WAS TRIPPPPPPING WATCHING HER VIDEO! i literally called someone and made them walk through it with me. Poor baby. Poor poor baby, they low key made her look like she didn’t know what she was doing but i have confidence she will learn and her hair will flourish one day. Lmaoooo. Chile that vogue literally made my scalp hurt. But i def understand the struggle and i know it’s common that a lot of black girls don’t know what to do to their hair and it’s TRAUMATIC! I hope she gets roles that allow her to look like her...and she learns her hair and she does a revamp of this video and her hair is FLOURISHING.

[@AuthorLHollingsworth]

Chile, I used to watch Vampire Diary's with my sister, and she was a Black Witch. Honestly, I thought that was her hair on that show, and Im happy to see hair real hair. Society, has been doing this to our people for ages. Her hair is awesome in every texture, and Im proud of Graham for showing her truth. Also, Graham can sing as well. Lol! Love the video!!!

[@miniminott48]

Lexi, I really appreciate you and your videos. Love Kat from Vampire Diaries: my beloved Bonnie Bennett. She was always in wigs so it is really nice to see her real hair. So happy she is embracing it. I have been fully natural since March 2019 after years of relaxers and I am loving my hair. Shea Moisture products were my new natural go-to products. The strong Cantu leave in conditioner fragrance was too much for my sinuses so I stayed away from Cantu. Kat needs to watch your videos to get excellent hair care tips.

[@KandidKinks]

Thank you !!

When she started crying, I felt that so much honestly. I love your commentary!! you have so many positive things to say and you empathize the same way I empathize with her too. New subscriber, I joined the family!

[@Brownie8986]

Whew chile!!!! So many different things! I'm so glad you covered this topic because I really didn't want to watch a known biracial over-exaggerate the struggle and not talk about the beauty of our hair and our personal journey BUT... once I saw you begin the first few minutes I knew she was really genuinely into it and this quarantine really gave her a blessing amongst the chaos! I was so happy to see her admit to her struggle, her racial makeup and why it's always been that different because knowing multi-cultural people, when you take after your black side with texture of any kind and get raised by a WHITE counterpart, you're BOUND to have issues. Of course we know in our own community it's a double edged sword because you know...some of our grandmas and mommas still on that creamy stuff or JUST got into it after saying "Are you crazy!?" for us doing it for the very first time. And that is a learned self hatred which to be honest I feel is worse than inherent ignorance of being white because it is willful. But hopefully, regardless of whichever style a black woman decides to choose, there are sooooo many products you will go bonkers with joy (and a bit of anxiety lol ngl) trying to discover your hair's best cocktail. She was super genuine and you're super dope for giving this the pure appreciation and objectivity this deserved. Much love, mamita!

[@tracispaulding9376]

I absolutely sooo relate to her story as a child and 4c girl! My mother did the same thing with me! She was not a hair person but had that “good” wavy straight hair. I also was getting texturized and relaxed since 8. I have just come to love and appreciate my hair since my big chop last May and it is the most healthiest it’s ever been. This touched my heart so much😊 Thanks Lexi for posting this!❤️

[@wannabe41]

I remember when I started my healthy natural hair journey. It was both intimidating and exciting to learn about my own hair. I never reached for Cantu though. For some reason, I immediately gravitated towards products with more natural ingredients. And my instincts were spot on. My hair responds better to natural ingredients. Great video!

i am 21 years old i can relate to Kat to a certain extent. My mom has a relaxer in her hair but I am natural and have been my whole life, but i grew going to the hair salon. So, I am now learning my hair its porosity, what it likes, learning out to do braid outs, and embracing shrinkage. and quarantine surprising has helped me with that.

I watched this when it just came out.. the application of the leave in after blow drying confused me... but I understand she’s still learning..
