What They Won't Tell You About Your Natural Hair!

[@DaarkDestiny]

Though I'm white, I've always thought dark black women were gorgeous. I have an aunt who is black, she's one of the most beautiful people I've ever known. Her skin is so dark it looks like it glows in the sunlight. She has longer kinky hair, but it's so big and stunning. When I was younger I envied her because she was so beautiful to me. Everyone has the right to embrace themselves. Hair shouldn't be such an issue that people will hurt themselves trying to look a certain way. Society has failed all of us!!! It's failed black women and black folks in general, by telling them they have to look a certain way. Also by allowing them to continue thinking they have to look like white folks. We're different because we evolved to survive our surroundings. Some of the most beautiful people on the planet are black. Big beautiful hair, bald, curly short hair, fro, dreads, why should we not embrace ourselves and each other. I love that the world is populated by people who look different. It makes us so much more interesting and beautiful. We're unique in our own ways. We should love, accept, embrace, support, uplift, and find the beauty in one another. Black women and men are naturally beautiful. Asian folks, Native folks, Polynesian folks, White folks, Latin folks, Biracial folks, Multiracial folks all possess beauty, naturally. It's time we see the beauty in one another, love each other.

[@DaarkDestiny]

Yvonne Blake Well thank you lol. I'm sure I probably have some in my lineage. I also have some native in my lineage. But for the most part, I'm a white European mutt lol. My full name is Destiny Angelique Webb. My grandfather was Welsh :) I took my mother's maiden name because I was born out of wedlock lol. And my father's surname is Norse, Hackett :) Though, I don't know much else about my lineage :) I'm thinking of buying one of those DNA kits lol :)

[@sharonmurray4803]

Destiny Webb, WELL said!!!! We are All beautiful!!! Besides it's what's inside that counts!!!! 😉

[@antonioadamovalziphat6914]

Destiny Webb amen

[@GinaJonesStillettoQueen]

Destiny Webb sadly I always feel that white folks like our hair more than black Americans do. Brain washing is real. I feel the same about darker women. Their skin seem to have a glow that I'm envious of. I have to put oil on my skin and yet still my skin absorbs light instead of reflect it. Lol

[@antonioadamovalziphat6914]

Destiny Webb PREACHED ! At the end of the day we're all the creatures of GOD and he isn't a God of routine but of DIVERSITY

[@TheeMademoiselle]

Tbh I do feel like we as a people need to take more action towards making natural hair more acceptable especially for young kids. Weave etc is cool but even I have tried to stay away from the straight type of styles when I use weave I’m even trying to use braids or natural type styles as apposed to sew ins etc.

[@AngelEVANSofARTSOL]

Thee Mademoiselle i agree 😄

[@Stephaniealicianaturalhair]

I totally agree!

[@kittydollsxo189]

The thing is everyone wants “curly hair” and if they child don’t have it they will relax it cause it’s tooooo “unmanageable “

[@graceb9562]

I agree! I’m 16 and it’s hard to be natural as my own parents feel the need to call me ugly every 15 mins....

[@catdcambs]

Thee Mademoiselle . Sweet heart I have been watching a lot of videos where weaves are eating the hair lines and damaging the hair . Just take a look on here KZbin at the videos. We need to wear our natural hair and be proud x

[@_MsLady]

I also want to add that during slavery, there were actual laws in place the prohibited natural (kinky) hair from being out in freeform, because the whites found it offensive. This took place in the south.

[@geordielaforge1643]

It amazes me, how could anyone think she looks better with straight hair? Natural African hair complements the beauty of African features and she is beautiful with it, without it her beauty is less noticeable.

[@yyahrah-izionisrealelite6097]

Renee Tate: I'm talking about the plethora of women who are afflicted with fibroids and the concomitant ramifications such as: extremely painful menstrual cycles/PMS, bladder issues, being anemic(from excess bleeding), the inability to conceive, after surgery a missing womb and then a missing boyfriend or husband and a distended stomach(which no sane woman desires), to be conservative. You may not have such issues as yet or ever at all, however, many 'so-called' black women live it daily, can verify but are oblivious to the connection between their grave condition(s) and the chemicals found in relaxers, glues and dyes. So, the question I asked in my previous commentary, still remains for all intelligent and non-assimilated 'so-called' black women.

[@theartistmind7028]

Rastafarian religion and hair didnt originate in Jamaica ...it came from Ethiopia hebce the red green and gold. But Jamaicans particularly Bob Marley popularized it (no I am not coming at u in any particular type of way...just an fyi

[@yyahrah-izionisrealelite6097]

Renee Tate: No, you certainly didn't! With my contribution, I wasn't making assumptions or asking you or anyone who comes on this forum a question on the particular topic, I speak/write with authority post doing extensive reading and from speaking to women who were and are still suffering from the self-imposed conditions I wrote about. I somewhat empathize with you because obviously, as an ex-licence cosmetologist, you would always like to think that your past vocation/livelihood have not contributed to these serous issues of y/our sisters. It's most interesting that you mentioned the die-ts of 'so-called' black women and I do concur with you that these western world die-ts which they partake in especially during all of these anti-healthy/spiritual hellidays are contributing to chronic non-communicable diseases and the lack of beautiful skin, hair growth and great fatness. So, with these otherworldly die-ts of most so-called' black people which principally are destroying their hearts, pancreas, liver, small/large intestine and kidneys and then from an exogenous to endogenous standpoint (because whatever goes on the skin eventually gets into the bloodstream), the chemicals in dyes, glues, conditioners and relaxers are undoubtedly responsible for the dread conditions I wrote and is very, very concern about. Question: Why don't you share your healthy diet(s), supplemental regimen and some of the physical activities that you engage in with your sisters who'll read these messages to help them?

[@theladyofsoul5023]

I cannot rock straight hair. I can't do it but I can rock the iconic fro for the rest of my life!!

I’ve been natural for 11 years and work for Department of Homeland security. People hold themselves back. Natural is not a issue. Just do it. No one at work cares about my hair. They love it. I’m the flat twist, a fro queen at work. Just do it. It’s your hair that grows out of your hair. I don’t care what the celebrities are doing I like me. Ok 👌🏾

[@lunarenzi4955]

flowerpink33 we need more women with that way of thinking

[@Tune2dis41]

I know that’s right!!!!

[@Facts-pp3tr]

This comment sound so stupid, You'll do realize that there was a law in place in the USA, that says natural hair from black people can't be worn? If you don't know that, then you need to know about your history. Second the law was just banned in 2021. IT's not that they "didn't care", you worked for the homeland security, that means they where afraid of getting sued, THAT DON"T WORK EVERYWHERE>.. Now should more black women were they're hair natural, Yes, EVERYWHERE, not just at work...but let's not forget that there are tons of black woman that do wear they're hair natural.

Natural hair grows so much faster than chemically treated hair. I wish I could post the before and after pics to show that the shrinkage is so real!

[@PixelPaperDesigns]

AnastasiaLUVSU jus bcuz ur used 2 straight looks don't mean we all use 2 it. Sum uv us do luv our texture wethr it's straight, thik, thin, kinky, etc. Majority uv the men is accustomed to the straight long fake sh*t so uv course they expect it. It's most black men who hates our thicker coarser texture letting us know how much our brothers (supposed to b Kings) hate their sistaz (Queen's) hair. It's a shame but that's ur hate not ours. We luv it n will continue 2 luvit. It b the men outside uv our race that luv our hair mostly. I luv my kinky coarse hair n don't care who hates it. Those who r not 4 us r against us.

[@lastdays3148]

plush furr sistah, don't even respond towards the negative remarks concerning our God Given hair. Anastasia has her opinion and that is okay to have. Well our Messiah loves our hair,because He also had our Wool hair type. Revelation 1:14 KJV. I love that my hair looks like my beloved Messiah. Another Nationality had the Messiah pictures hair longer & stringy. Sad so sad,because it does not say that in the Scriptures. Love to all of my Beautiful Sistahs.

But for some reason my parents ( father and his wife) shame me of the way my hair is. Telling me comb my hair, probably meaning to relax it or put weave in it or present it..less kinky.

so true that the criticism comes mainly from us, we are so trained to keep ourselves in our places so to speak. self hate and self defeatism are so rampant, part of the same thing that makes black students afraid to try or even ashamed to excel in schools (I teach in Harlem, and the way students hold themselves and each other down is frustrating), our beauty and our intelligence is phenomenal and second to none, but we are often the slowest to realize our own blessings...as Bob Marley said "emancipate yourself from mental slavery...none but ourselves can free our minds"

In my experience in life, straigtening my hair with relaxers and wearing straight hair weaves has not strengthened me financially. It actually costs me more money to maintain my hair when i was wearing it relaxed. And weave in itself is an even more costly expense. I've given up relaxers since 2009 but occasionally I will rock a weave. The majority of the time I will wear my natural 4C type hair. I am glad that I have regained the confidence to wear it and not feel conscientious about it. I was shocked that people were actually complementing me on my natural hair, especially the men! I feel like this, every other race walks outside sporting their natural hair with no shame just being themselves and so I figured I just go ahead and be comfortable sometimes and just be me too! Less stress!

Aaliyah Jackson I heard this story but African history is rich. She made an excellent video! ❤️❤️

I completely agree that it shouldn't be a movement. 💯 and I totally felt it when you said that we as a people take down each other. I've been saying that for so long. It's literally a bit unnerving when I decide to go outside with my natural hair. But watching and listening to this was so helpful and insightful. Thank you!

[@daryaun1111]

This was very nice to watch. Thank you!

[@aprilsmith1038]

Sista my thoughts to you are that you look very beautiful to me , and that’s just what I see with your natural look Beauty .....

[@lofianimegirl8180]

It is a journey to love our hair, our skin, and each other because of the brain washing that has been happening for centuries. It is a choice, and it takes courage to be you in America. I love being black and I'm learning how amazing my hair and culture is more and more each day. Thank you for the great video😊😋.

[@veganvocalist4782]

TRUTH !!! ;D I looove my mixed race afro type hair NOW ! I was taught to try and be as white as possible but I now embrace my natural beauty ; ) thank you for this positive message Shavante

[@terrigurganus3720]

She's right and she said she just bringing the news being truthful

[@uriahsmith6225]

When I was 10 I felt bad about my skin color and wanted to be white, I wanted to have hair like white people,I begged my mom and asked her if I can have a perm. She said no every single time.. then I heard about locks and the history and I wanted locks..now I’m 23 and have long healthy shiny dread locks! I’m proud of my skin color!!!

I wish more black people could see their own natural beauty and potentially stop using all of the chemicals. The sooner we all work together to embrace it the sooner the rest of the world will embrace it. Our kids are watching our every move and they need to know that they are beautiful just the way they are. My favorite part of this video is when the woman from the news says "im hear to give the news, not look pretty" which by the way, she is beautiful no matter how her hair is styled. I love seeing women on tv wearing their hair in its natural especially in locs. Its important for the people we see on tv to be an accurate representation of what we look like on the daily basis.

[@nadialove2048]

Locks can be any type of hair in all groups of people, it basically means it’s plaited and intertwine.

[@deniseculver8373]

Omgoodness I've grown into my hair and my strength. All natural

[@Stephaniealicianaturalhair]

Process of curls in reverse. Wow! The history is interesting. Thanks for sharing this with us :)

[@WrestleShadeTNS]

right that's what i said ...

[@aprilwest9852]

Alicia Mendsey Yes process is reverse. The exact same chemicals are used to curl that are used to straighten. OR to curl/ hot curling irons./ Hot combs to straighten. It's basically bending hair. Braids bend/ curlers bend. To much bending causes breakage./ Split ends.

[@queenfox683]

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I love this video
