African Americans culture are rich and we usually can trace other races in our bloodline. Her having a Indian grandfather isn’t the reason her hair is growing. She takes care of her hair. Love Black women flourishing 🌺🌺🌺

[@sexyndacityable]

My mom is Jamaican she is a dougla. My grandfather was Indian as well. I grew up on curry as well and I watch your videos because you are great and close to my hair type. It’s the coolie in us.

I missed the Bernie clip lol 😆😂 Loved this video and I enjoyed your bubbly personality.

I think people ask dark skin girls with curly hair are you mixed? Because people can’t fathom Black girls especially dark skin with long curly hair. 🙃🙃

She’s not dark skin sis

Sis, they do ask dark skin women like her are they mixed~

Nicely said ! You take care of your hair and it shows 💙💙 Pantene has always been a favorite. I’m definitely going to try this line- silicone freeeeeeee🙂🤪 Thanks for sharing the family history and again the tips/advice.

[@brittany5790]

Thank you for this content and for the information! Good hair care is a human experience regardless of race. However, we now understand why certain products take to your hair that might not take to others. I’m one to represent all the “strands” of my heritage, regardless of skin color. But, some just aren’t there with that and it’s ok. To each their own. We all have culture and learning it and sharing it is beautiful! 💜

[@stephpowell7648]

'A lil'......girl.....you ARE mixed? Thats why people are asking 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I do think its important to say (even though its awkward sometimes) because little (full) Black girls end up wondering why their hair doesn't look like all these other girls hair when it turns out.....all the 'Black' girls they are watching.....are actually mixed. Now that doesn't change hair growth rate etc but the looser the hair, the less damage caused when brushing it, the less snapping of the ends and the more length retention. Its a struggle lol 😂. Also, your grandaddy is from Kolkata.... that is very cool. Mine is half Indian, Half Jamaican from Delhi India, and my Gran is half Scottish and half Jamaican..... How they managed that I'll never know....but it is interesting 😊

[@epic7224]

Nothing is wrong with being mixed idk why Americans reject it so much

[@lifeonabudget8513]

You are very right! People should know that the hair of people from different races behave differently. If you are full black, you hair is different from someone who isn't full black and who isn't black at all. It's the same as when these celebrities have massive plastic surgeries and claim that were born like that. It creates false insecurities within people based on dishonesty.

[@adwoamk8918]

Some research shows that Asians have a faster growth rate and longer growth phase. The also tend to have coarse strands which of course reduces breakage. That's probably why most of the weave, bundle e.t.c are from there.

[@Lieutenantkaiya]

We’re ALL mixed, Baby. Look into it. It’s a trip. I wish I had the money to get EVERY African American a DNA profile. It would remove so many myths and misconceptions about our history and our hair. It’s fascinating.

[@Kingcess0503]

You only spoke on your father's heritage, what about your mother?

[@kriola84]

Very interesting and informative. Thanks for sharing more about you. You look lovely

[@PerfectlyPayla]

I have a question, as our hair is the same texture and curl pattern. Do you find that one side of your head of hair is thicker/longer on one side. For example: My left side head of hair appears longer when Its wet, the curl pattern is so more defined and the hair is much thicker. On the right side my hair appears shorter, more dense and less full. Although I find these flaws, I feel its amazing when I'm finish styling it because it all works out where it looks all the same all over length etc. Also when I get my hair blown out, its all the same length. Do you feel like your hair is thicker on either side of your head? Does anyone else?

[@kaliawade4489]

Love your energy Rayna❤️

I knew you were mixed xd Idk why Americans refused to say they are mixed ubless they are biracial as in one parent one race one other race.

[@MiVidaBellisima]

Because if as little as 25% is “mixed” then everyone is mixed and there’s no point in identifying with race at all.

[@sunshinesista9784]

Because having a white great grandparent is not the same thing as having a white parent. American blacks are of mixed heritage but are not biracial.

It’s really not about how she looks..lol there’s no ideal look for any race. everybody comes from their own diverse background

@@peacefully913 i get that ! I said what I said because she said that people tell her all the time that she look mixed and for me she doesn’t

[@missthingR]

So...because "she doesn't look mixed to you" that should equate to her not being mixed. She has a significant amount of another ethnicity in her genome so technically she's mixed, how someone looks doesn't negate what they are!

[@AngelaElikya]

@@missthingR miss mam ! I’m responsible for what I said not what you understood !Never in my comment i said she’s not mixed , what I said was, she doesn’t look mixed to me so I don’t get what people be telling her she look mixed (must be her hair like she mentioned) if she had nappy hair I doubt people would say she look mixed. Don’t go around and twist my words thank you bye.

[@lifeonabudget8513]

She looks full black to me. But I had a feeling that one of her parents wasn't full black. I guessed Indian from Guyana/Jamaica/Trinidad, though. It's not even her curl pattern, it's her hair texture. I can see it even on screen😄 I have a similar skin colouring as her and both my parents are black. I have her curl pattern and people always ask me "how did u get your hair like that?" 🤣 one time I replied "I don't understand your question?"

Girl stop with this foolery 😂😂 Indians from India aren't black in any way, shape or form lol They have beautiful keen features with silky long hair, unlike big/broad features & kinky hair that Blacks have... Also, dark skin ain't exclusive to Blacks, many other races have dark skin but Blacks have the darkest skin.. Stop with acting like you are so oblivious and don't know about these things..
