I love this movie.... Sanaa is such a great actress.....And I love her dress❤!

[@khall4573]

This movie has a great message of inspiration for love, pride, self esteem, and self cofidence. India Arie said it well, "I am not my hair."

[@sheilam3385]

It took a long time, but it's time black women wake up and understand that they are really beautiful,

[@warriorwoman1719]

Say that!!!!

[@talktotheworld7408]

Yes!

[@crystalhampton6857]

I am so proud of this movie, Black women stand strong I only wear my real hair and is raise my daughter to be real and good self esteem

[@JusticeAndrew]

Sanaa stays getting booked

[@jeremysears4263]

Right?!

[@carlista2010]

I think she produces films as well.That should keep you busy.

[@TheSocia8]

Sanaa is a great actress and very beautiful woman bald or with hair...........LOVE HER and she has had a stellar career in acting.

[@simplymck7822]

Told my coworker to watch the movie, so she would understand my relationship with my hair and stop asking🤦🏽‍♀️ questions.

[@Avembe]

Ladies, please how on earth could we as men convince you that your natural hair not only is best but makes you definitely far more attractive....

[@lastdays3148]

Avembe,I am a Melanin Lady wearing my rounded Yeshua Wool Fro. I used to wear my Kinky 4zzzzz hair hanging down. But now it is medium length and I have shaped my hair into an Afro.That is my signature look. I do not liked any products to alter my Kinks I have a real 1970s Afro. And you are correct the men always say that they would love to see us the Melanin women wearing our God given hair. The Melanin & Caucasian men are always in awe of the Yeshua Fro. And the women are always saying that they have not seen a rounded Fro in YEARS. The 21st. Century,well thank goodness that we are seeing our Natural Hair that we had in the 1970s.

[@Avembe]

@Glen CoCo maybe but personally i have never ,ever ,heard a single man around me saying there is something wrong with natural hair .but that is me.

[@1obedience]

Thank you

[@thewordsmith5440]

You do know most men stop approaching women when they go natural right. To say all men like natural is a lie. Mens beauty is formed from television. Most men dont even really like women without makeup because all women do not have blotch free, acne free skin. They like near perfection without makeup.

[@Avembe]

@@thewordsmith5440 if u careful read what i wrote i'm talking about all the guyz around me those i know.not to dismiss what u say but it is the very first time i hear somebody saying that men walk away girls going natural....

[@Dyamanti22]

That scream in the bathroom....great..

[@kathyreed4775]

So funny😂😂😂

[@crystalhampton6857]

I enjoyed it too

[@CBrown9758]

Great movie great message for all women.

[@blurose9648]

Best film ever. I loved this movie!! It would have made a lot of money on the big screen...why wasn’t it at the movies? However I want to thank Netflix for putting it on.. Netflix is sooo Woke, you are the best!

[@chywatts6903]

Great film, she’s so brave and talented ❤️

[@talktotheworld7408]

This movie brought up so many emotions, I loved watching her journey to self acceptance. This movie will transform how black women see themselves. What a wonderful healing. Thank you Netflix, Tracey Bing, Haifaa al-Mansour, Sanaa Lathan, and everyone who worked to bring this masterpiece to the world!

[@DragonNomak]

sanaa, gabrielle and nia oh man i've had a crush on them since i was like 5 early 2000's still looking as beautiful as ever

Great movie 🙋🏾‍♀️

[@kylasmall9421]

Sanaa looks gorgeous and body on fleek

[@sharonwright1631]

I've always felt natural hair is best extensions damage the scalp colors are toxic and chemicals can kill and cause all kinds of health problems so natural has always been best for me

[@1obedience]

I didn't want to be white but I just wanted my hair like theirs but that definitely has changed I understand the fact that we are different and nothing is wrong with that.

[@deva190]

1obedience. I was the opposite ...When I was in 8th grade my black friends had this discussion...when I told them that even IF I were white I would still want nappy hair they looked at me as if I had lost my mind. Keep in mind this was in the 70s.

[@kreyolqueen2279]

You wanted that lice infested limp hair? White people hair smells like sour milk. I will take my Shea butter, delicious coiled, shiny Black halo any day, over some dog limp hair. When women buy weaves, they are not buying Caucasian hair. No one wants that shit. White women don’t want their own hair. Why should you?

[@deva190]

Kreyol. Just think WHO were black women imitating when they first started straightening their hair centuries ago in the U.S.

[@cherrylove528]

I wanted a more romantic ending though. But i like the movie. Our hair like a second job🤣

[@mwanawashe923]

Cherry Love me too...at least it was unpredictable...💞💞

[@deedreamy6259]

I wanted her to be mama to his daughter😭

[@trinitycapers4853]

Mwana waShe I thought it was refreshing that it wasn't the typical cliche "happy ending" but an "open ending" maybe making room for a sequel. 😉🌈

[@czarinaczar]

I decided not to watch it simply because of the way it ends. I love a happy ending in movie.

[@narmaniorange4186]

All that melanin 🍯✨

[@yuiyoung382]

I just Love this Movie. Especially when he rubbed that natural oil on her head and licked it off the side of her neck. That was the most Romantic move I've ever seen a Black make in a Movie. Epic very Epic. I could smell the Oil thru the T.V. Thanks Much Sanaa Lathan. And Brotha Lyriq Bent and the whole cast. Great Movie....Ase'

[@loulouwillis5648]

I loved this show!!! I went natural but it didn't work for me though hair grew like weeds I had to cut it all off because of scalp issues.

[@dayanajean5585]

What's the name of the song

[@Mimi-cg2cw]

I love perm...

[@deva190]

Honest comment.

[@mois9555]

Alot of of the black actress just talk the talk but dont actually walk the walk. These are the very ones that make you feel bad about yourself not just hair. Be yourself.

[@adrianborden1546]

Song, Jay-Z ,Allure.

[@perisndirangu1018]

Yes .. am ......all for short hair ...am in an “era “ of women with short hair ..I am in my late. 40s now wear my hair bob cut and I love it .. and the thing is .. I get so much attention from men and women ...that would not have paid attention to me ....

[@jaydathebastard4917]

I don't know bout y'all I'VE ALWAYS KNOWN THAT I AM BEAUTIFUL SHORT HAIR LONG HAIR NO HAIR AT ALL!

[@nickrod9526]

Sad that people cannot even tell they're being conditioned to think and act like this........

[@Mimi-cg2cw]

India Arie...we have always loved our Blackness..my kids never had White dolls..sad ur parents didn't love their hair

[@teliclikeitis]

The Bible says a woman hair is Her glory.

[@deva190]

Jessica. It says LONG hair is a woman's glory.

[@teliclikeitis]

@@deva190 Ok. If you want to get technical lets include the verse 1 Corinthians 11:15 KJV.

[@themightydaughter4658]

This is right and all. But I hate this "I am not my hair" thingy. I AM my hair. I am every damn thing that makes me.

[@cupcakes7015]

I'm so over us and our hair. Sanaa Lathan looks beautiful but I'm so tired of black women and hair. It's to the point ,we have become obsessed over it! I've been natural since 2014 accidentally when trying to get a relaxer and my hair fell out. That was my wake-up call. We live in an European world and we are not the standard of beauty. Just be who you are. I'm so tired of black women trying to get everybody to love our natural hair! It's unrealistic, everybody will not love your hair or you. 10/3/18

[@chantellea9938]

Thank you!! Someone's said it.

[@deva190]

Cupcakes 701...absolutely agree. I've been natural( no straightening) since 1987 and am tired of this recent obsession with hair by some of the same people who avoided and ridiculed me for having nappy hair back then.

[@madamerouge4082]

Hear me out. I don’t think it’s about everyone else loving it. It’s definitely about us loving ourselves, being okay with our natural selves and like you said loving who we are. It’s not just about hair. It never was. As a little black girl growing up thinking long straight hair is the only standard of beauty. We ALL put something on our head that’s caused some women deadly medical issues. Plus everyone else obsesses over their hair why can’t we 😅😂 Tyra has an entire segment where woman of all shades cry and almost leave her competition over their hair. 10/10/18

[@shelsparkle2691]

What are you on about it’s important that we have positive influences and figures that represent us in our natural state. It’s encouraging

[@rebekahpowers7075]

Why Gabrielle Union commented and Nia long,they always wear their hair straight like Caucasian women,I never seen them with kinky hair

[@NYCITY3]

Caucasian women are not the only one that has straight hair, what about asian and indian women. Just saying.

[@rebekahpowers7075]

NYCITY3 yep they do,all the focus be on Caucasian women that’s why I didn’t mention them

[@joyl3321]

I thought the message of the movie is the Black women have "Options" so whatever they choose is their option/choice.

[@rebekahpowers7075]

Joy L and whatever I choose to comment I can comment,dam gtfoh

[@joyl3321]

gtfoh??? - uhh Exactly I can comment whatever I choose and you sure can't tell me where i can post. lol was ans'g Why? they wear their hair straight -cuz the CHOOSE TO

[@teliclikeitis]

Jaz. Since I can't reply to one's comment I'll state this anyhow. Speak for yourself, you don't appear to care but it's a biblical fact and nothing on earth can change that.

Ummm thought movie didn't have depth. Then again I find the how thing about hair a little shallow.

[@nanapearlpearl2696]

who was shaving their head bald while watching this????🤔

[@virtuouslady5679]

Sister do not love themselves...all this wig and weave mess, various hair colors, which I never wore....Then this other fake gargage, eyelashes, brows nails, etc...!! Then they wear too much make up...I love who God made in me. Sisters are beautiful being natural, maybe just a little make up....regardless of theirs skin tone....I am 52, people think I am in my 30's, because I do not wear all this trash...nor dress like a harlot...Priase God!!!

[@reinettesined2299]

Gabrielle Union is way too much.
