Why Our Hair Is Black Girl Magic

In this video, we are embracing our black girl magic. As Ami (Mama) takes out Ava’s braids, they start to talk about their type of hair and the importance of embracing your hair. Ami explains to the girls that in the 1900s, many black women or girls would relax and straighten their hair to be accepted in society. For black women, wearing their natural hair and embracing their afros wasn’t as common back then. Today, Ava and Alexis choose to embrace their hair and their black girl magic!

In the 90s and early 2000s, natural hair wasn’t really embraced nor celebrated. When I was their age, my hair was relaxed. I didn’t even know I had this thick beautiful 4c hair that came out of my scalp. Now, in my 20s, I love my hair and wear it most of the time. This generation shows me that there is progress with representation and great affirmations. ✨

I worked for a job in the early 2000s that told me my hair was too wild. Georgia humidity is no joke on human hair. Even a wig I bought swelled. I was told if I didn't change my hair, I would lose my job. I was transitioning to natural hair in ATL, when press and curls were becoming new and popular. Perms were literally taking out my hair. Thank GOD this generation doesn't have to go through that pressure and threat to conform.

I love when taking out braids it looks so beautiful her curls are popping 😍

[@heb246]

Yes definitely 60's & 70's natural hair not only embraced, but what a time of hair design expression. Braided crown designs needed no added hair, adorned with gems. Absolutely stunning works of art. So glad I was able to experience those precious times.

[@kamerinqueen7665]

They are getting so big they are very beautiful God's beautiful Angels. They have big beautiful hair they were blessed with that hair on their head and they were born with kindness and confidence I love them so much its crazy how much they have grown its crazy I love you McClure family. God bless you all

[@natiii11]

„The hair fairy ” when I heard that words i started laughing so much.

[@Destyn2b]

I grew up in the 80's and went to a predominately white school, meaning most times I was the only black girl in a class of 31 students. I grew self conscious about my hair after the kids would tease me about having beads in my hair and always wanted to touch my corn rows. I'm so glad the girls have grown up loving their hair.

[@ceetee8357]

...and i could just imagine how beautiful your OWN natural hair was😍💗

That braid out was great. Im 25 still learning how to properly take care of my hair 😂❤

[@-IamTHELawyer]

Thanks for sharing this information. I remember when I was not hired because of my curly afroish hair and started to straighten it, grow it out or wear weaves. I am grateful for the evolution of thought, and videos like this encouraging young children and adults to be proud of their hair. ❤🙏

[@McClureTwins]

Thank you!

[@NytiaHenry]

I literally love how mom annunciates her words I always notice that every video.

[@lettiegrant9447]

Why would that even be mentioned.

[@thatlovelydancerIlao]

I love this segment. You all kept it 💯 I will say I agree on both sides with Ami and Justin on the stigma about black hair. My Mom didn't teach me to love my hair, infact her and many others saw it beautiful when it was straight or in lose curls and braids. My curly 4b, 4c curly hair was Not accepted. And many girls I grew up with didn't like there hair and even today, a bunch of people still dislike their hair. So for the ones who embrace their hair and that now includes me, Thank God because like Ami said, it's the hair we have growing out our head. So embrace it. It's versatile, strong and truly beautiful

[@princessfavour8265]

I really love how you take proper care of your girls, teaching them how to love themselves. I also have a question to ask Mama McClure. Did you ever cut your girls' hair a few months after they were born? Because, back here in Nigeria, people say mothers should cut their daughters' first growth to kick start growth.

[@imprsk6729]

Never heard of that! My hair was long throughout all of childhood... no cutting at birth...my daughters hair the same.. just good care and growth is natural...

[@KristinAlayna]

BRUH! "My hair, it don't move." Will NEVER get old. Cracked me up!

[@josettecharles3374]

Yes, the girls are so blessed with such beautiful hair.❤

[@ar-rumaysaahajar123]

I believe that Ava and Alexis have 4A type hair because when their hair is out, their hair is super curly and doesn't look like it gets tangled that much when it's moisturized. But for 3C hair, it gets frizzy and tangled and when we moisturize it again and leave it out, a few minutes later or one day later, it gets tangled again, but not as tangled as it was before. And for 3c hair, you would have to detangle it one at a time and 3c hair gets caught in things like rubber bands when you leave your hair in a style for a few days. But it looks like Ava and Alexis hair doesn't do that. That's why I believe that they have type 4 hair or 4A hair.

I love Eva and Alexis hairstyles. I was not confident of my hair before but Ave and Alexis encouraged me.

[@ItsMyLifeDaralynn]

" Be quiet, keep that in the video." LOL I love their hair because it is versatile . Not that my opinion matters, but I love it. I remember back in the days of anchor women on the news ( Once they were accepted to be anchors) they were told they had to straighten their hair or no job. In Atlanta Monica Kaufman was one of the first anchor women of color and she was ridiculed a lot about her hair. It's nice to see women of color as anchor women now, wearing whatever style they like. This is a great video for young girls to watch the twins. I love the message you left for little girls.

[@ceetee8357]

Hair is hair...its not important. So not important. What is important is education and humility. Now those things are worthwhile and they LAST throughout the years and for a lifetime😉

[@TamaraElieMichele1692]

Hey 👋 how are you doing today 😊

[@vutlharhimbhiza6977]

Ava is totally a diva😂

[@tarie77]

As fun as this episode was in the beginning, this is DEEEEEP. My grandma tried to get me to embrace my natural texture, but I wanted hair that "blew in the breeze". I'm grateful mostly for attending Barry U and seeing people with all different curl patterns. Still, there were "rebels" in the 90s like N'Dea Davenport or Angela Stribling. In fact, after seeing Angela natural on BET, I asked my mom to ditch the hit comb. Although I don't remember girls getting their hair relaxed at eight, I remember it being seen like a rite of passage into African-American womanhood. Thank God for our liberation and evolution.

[@the_anonymousgal3061]

Hey guys I was also loosing my braids when i saw the notification and I watched this video b4 you knew it I was done. ✋😁 I also have this super black natural hair(I am Nigerian) it's not that long but it was tangled all the way. I love to keep it this way coz it kind of shows your neutrality and personality and also my mom(Nigerian) would never allow us to try use anything that will change it somehow😂😂. But I don't know any tips on keeping my hair entangled.🙄 Anyways,it's a really nice job teaching the kids to love their natural hair😗😍 keep up with the job💙💚💙❤💖

[@ceetee8357]

Please keep your hair natural. Embrace who you are. I think natural (Black hair) is BEAUTIFUL...and we don't see enough of it😍

[@debrasloan5541]

One way to really damage your hair is perming and coloring , it will change the texture and slow down or stop the hair from growing . Even constant heat especially if the heat is too hot !

[@MissShaypril]

Women used to gush over my hair because it had such a strong wave to it. I hated it because I didn't see other girls with my kind of hair and I wanted to look like the pretty girls on t.v., black girls included because they all had straight hair on t.v. and in magazines. I think I would have embraced it more if I was actually able to straighten it, but the wave was too thick. Now that my hair has naturally relaxed more, I can straighten it. I find that now I rarely ever straighten it or use heat. I just put it in a braid everyday.
