@Anthony Coleman. Doesn't necessarily mean she is self-hating or has low self esteem. I can relate to being conscious of how I wear my hair when I know I'll be in my corporate setting as the only minority in management. It always made me feel trapped and not free to have to get my hair styled and making sure its not too ethnic looking based on me seeing how minority females who work with me were treated with their hairstyles, comments that were made and even fellow management team members who would encourage me to tell other team members that their hair was too much. I would only tell them if the hairstyle was against what the company handbook stated was allowed not because someone else was uncomfortable looking and even sometimes touching their hair. But of course, who wrote the handbook to determine what was the company standard-them not us. I definitely do not have esteem issues but I do feel the added stresses of working in the environment as someone who stands out already then having to always be "mindful" of my hair made me feel enslaved to their opinions and to the system that defines beauty and what's professional. But I also know that if I would have worn my hair ethnically styled I wouldn't have gotten the job to be able to be on the inside to slowly make the needed changes including me having the ability to do the hiring.

Beautiful. Love this comment. Most black men who are not walking around like mummies with no appreciation for their phenotype, like seeing us wear our hair even if they don't say they do. Some outright compliment, others hold the compliment in their mind. There is something about it, especially when it is the kinkiest fluffy texture, that screams "I am comfortable being black; I am comfortable with my appearance, and I am comfortable with my reflection." It resonates when you walk around. Some black men get so uncomfortable that they look away too when you walk by. I have seen that.

You can't talk about God-given hair while wearing wigs. If you're proud of your natural hair, wear it out proudly. Don't hide it and then blame everyone around you. What does it matter what others think of your hair if you're comfortable in it??!

[@Phronesis7]

Ok… Look I get that it’s strange for non-dark skinned people because they don’t live in our skin and its probably coming from a good place- but ugh… I am honestly just sick and tired of the- “*Gasp* there are people who discriminate against black people for xyz?! By golly, gosh, I am floored” reactions. I feel like people do this to avoid speaking directly to the issue and it’s getting ridiculous to me now.

Question...why is so important to conduct a study on how white women feel about black women’s natural hair? Hair is hair stop this “good” hair nonsense 😒

[@racourdav]

Sorry but talking about this while Loni and Remy are rocking wigs and weaves ... I can’t!!

[@macummings7818]

Except - the point is exactly this: let Black women do whatever they want! There's business constraints making it smart to wig up and it is what it is - they at least addressed it - but the bigger point was they acknowledged loving their natural hair, regardless of the circumstances.

[@thematrix3663]

How women of other groups feel about kinky natural hair should be of limited to no consequence to black women. What matters is that black women appreciate and manage what grows naturally from their scalps. It reaches towards the sun! With respect to the sexy thing, that is propaganda. Look at the young actress in Coming to America who was the potential bride. Her hair was 100% natural. It was glorious!

[@SequoiaMoonSpeaks]

Women who don’t have full natural hair are always going to be jealous of others who have a head full of full natural hair. We don’t start balding at 25 like other groups!

[@justfit71]

What's the good curly hair, Remy? I think every kinky, curly hair is beautiful

[@terrijack1503]

A perm isn't natural nor is straightening our hair. Remy sounded like she hates her hair. You can't talk Black hair with women who aren't Black, they never get it and some Black women don't either.

[@nadinewilliams7610]

Black hair is the most versatile. Our hair is the best. We can do what we want with our hair. White women are limited to how they can wear their hair. We hair hair like JESUS ! Hallelujah ‼️

[@NAprincess324]

I can honestly say I’ve only had positive experiences with my natural 4c hair. But then again I don’t know what it’s be like in corporate, but I’ve been around plenty of old white ppl and they gave me the most compliments they’d be intrigued by how it looked like a “cloud” 😂

[@ladybird491]

You said 4c to get attention and throw shade at 4b. I get plenty attention and no shade an I am 4B. no one was talking about hair texture grade on the chart so you are toxic.

[@luxuriousmindset]

This isn’t true. As a black woman the most hair discrimination I received was from black women.

[@jillianhajdasz9752]

I respect Black women's feeling on this, but honestly I can say I have always envied the variety of ways Black women can wear their hair. While I realize how much work is involved depending on your hair type, and I know that the backlash to hair is a real phenomenon, I still admire natural hair - the curl, the volume, the dynamic it adds to your appearance - all of it. Any judgement of character based on appearance is such bs - no indication of a persons moral compass or personality or character. On a side-note, I have straight, often stringy hair, which marginally improved after childbirth, but let's be honest - genetics are genetics and I'm never winning that battle.

It’s problematic that you’re jealous because your jealousy causes us harm

[@NonyeEgbuna-p2e]

There are so many ways to look after our natural hair these days. These conversations are tiring and speaks of internalised issues

[@Askalott]

Wait, Michelle Obama always wore her hair natural? I thought she didn't until after she wasn't first lady anymore? Am I wrong?

[@Damnsaburna]

It is not hard to maintain natural hair. Y’all put in so much effort avoiding ur hair that same effort can be used learning to care for ur own hair.

[@africamcfadden6346]

Good hair is when you take care of your hair, nappy hair is good kinky hair is good and thick hair is good hair too❤️

[@briannaw716]

Its ashame that this even has to be a conversation

[@lovepinkprincess24]

Jeanie's responses had me ON THE FLOOR! Every woman she named was biracial like the child she is going to have with the Jeezy ! Gurl you not fooling anyone you are infatuated with all things mixed with BLACK. What a joke this discussion was.

[@brownskinbeauty.]

I got into it with some women on facebook for this very same idea. Mixed or biracial is not black at the end of the day. But when we call them out on it we're the ones with the problem

[@lovepinkprincess24]

@@brownskinbeauty. FACTS. And it's not divisive it's actually acknowledging understanding. We'd never call the color red, orange We'd be told we don't know our colors. There is red , there is orange and then there is the color red-orange. Acknowledging the difference keeps us balanced and eliminates confusion.

[@brownskinbeauty.]

@@lovepinkprincess24 Exactly, but when you call a mixed or biracial person anything other than black you have to be ready to fight everybody. The whole ideology of "if your daddy is black than you're black" is stupid. How they think that a half black and half whatever else makes a whole black person is beyond me. I even had one black lady tell me that unless you're from Africa you're mixed and there's no such thing as pure black. I'm like where do we get this stuff from?
