      L O what she said is somewhat true in some cases though but the wording could have been better but white women who have mixed kids tend to not know how to do their hair and their kids hair and that lends up to them straightening it so much it’s crazy the amount of heat damaged mixed girls I’ve seen it’s so sad :( but this could be the same for black women who have mixed kids as well!

      I got black friends included altought sadly they are faaar away as it`s online friends and i can only text them mostly or skype on calls. My sister is from Palestine as she is from fostercare home unlike me who`s adopted and from the Philippines. I just have minor curls mainly thick but wavy hair. It can make some small curls at certain part of my hair the longer it gets. My sister in the otherhand have more curlier hair and it gets more poofier and tangled compared my wavy thick hair texture. As my norwegian parents also divorced and mostly none of my other norwegian relatives. Even my father nobody knows how to handle thick curly hair like sisters hair or my asian thick hair. So as a sister what i had to do. Was to turn into more information about curlier hairstyle, hairproducts specialized for thicker yet stubborn curly hair like my sisters. My sister used to hate her curly hair, always wanted it more straight like her norwegian friends, which of course do not have the thickness nor the curliness as she does. I hated to see that, so what i did. I continued study into different products, which one worked better in her hair. Now she started to wear her natural hair more then ever. I also changed her hair decorations like when she going to tie her hair. She use the thicker types then the thin ones that snap right away. As she often before would get more tangled endhair before. Also i gave her as a present a wider tooth comb.

      Wilmis The very reason she got offended was your delivery and how you expressed yourself. So, “miss,” maybe before you comment something so condescending and rude like “Think again,” you might think about how your negativity is going to affect others. Must be sad being such a negative soul that you have to create such commotion over such a meaningful and beautiful comment. I for one agree with Random Girl as African culture truly is magnificent and beautiful in every way. I am a young white male who was able to come to this realization before even you, which is certainly concerning. You kept the argument going if you really analyze everything in this thread. You’re one of those sad people who thrive off of negativity and drama and that “miss” is no way to live. Reflect on your state of mind and way of thinking and you’ll realize just how childish and ignorant you sound. And yes, your comment was racist, as you replied “think again” to a comment speaking on African culture being beautiful. I do not know your ethnicity, but no matter what it is, that is racism and that is truly disgusting. Reply if you wish so that you may continue to thrive off of your addiction to negativity, but just know that Random Girl and I will feel the same love and respect for Africans as we did before your unnecessary bullshit. xoxo, PEACE and LOVE to all my Africans our there and to all of my fellow human beings of ALL races and ethnicities, because 🖕🏿🖕🏾🖕🏽🖕🏼🖕🏻🖕 racism! 💗💗

    • @emmaj8726
      @emmaj8726 Před 5 lety +3

      Spongebob It’s not just a hairstyle. It’s cultural heritage. Like the stylist said: Historically, the way black people wore their hair told a personal story. It signified status in the same way as for example a specific kind of car does now. Moreso - and something the stylist didn’t say (at least not in this video. Idk if they cut it out) - one of the first things white enslavers did before crossing the Atlantic was to cut off the hair of the black slaves. Essentially taking away what had symbolized their personality and status (they also made sure to separate people from the same tribes, rendering the slaves basically unable to communicate with eachother, but that’s another story). So when black people nowadays decide to embrace these hairstyles it’s essentially reclaiming what white people tried to take away from them. That’s why it’s not just a hairstyle. It bears cultural significance. And it’s important to acknowledge that even if you can’t relate.

    Some history facts around braiding for those who are interested:
    Originating in East Africa, the braid was worn as a form of communications. It symbolized whether the wearer was married, in mourning, of age of courtship, wealthy, or to show tribe affiliation. In 1950, A French ethnologist and his team discovered a Stone Age rock painting in the Tassili Plateau of the Sahara, dating back to 3500 BCE, showing a woman with African Cornrows feeding her children.
    In Ancient Egypt, Hair braids were reserved for royalty (i.e. Cleopatra and Queen Meryet Amun). The braids at this time were used for ceremonial rituals, such as, weddings and funerals.
    The Greek Goddess Flavian Period was from 79-81 CE. It consisted of lavish updos, complete with wire frames, twisted braids and curls. This style became very popular among the wealthy Roman woman. Roman Emperor Titus’ daughter Julia was a follower of this hair braid, often wearing extremely elaborate updos.
    Native American braids (PreCE-Present) varied from tribe to tribe, in style and cultural significance. In the Quapaw Tribe, married woman wore their hair down loose and braided if they were single. Braids were and still are worn my men of Native American decent.
    In 1066-1485, Medieval European braids were braided buns and crowns. It was considered socially unacceptable for a woman to let her hair down because it was believed that a womans long tresses were associated with sinfulness and temptation.
    The Mongol Empire began to grow in the 13th Century. Noblewoman wore an elaborate braided hairstyle and headpiece. The style was adorned with a “wing” in each side of the head. Two “wings” were said to evoke mythical beasts.
    Modern Cornrows (1970-Present) were developed during the “Black is Beautiful” movement”. This movement encouraged African-Americans to embrace their cultural roots and natural beauty, rather than using chemicals or relaxers in their hair to straighten. The cornrow braid and the afro became very popular as this movement progressed.

All through Elementary School and Middle School I would put pretty braids, hair accessories all of the time. But I don't know what happened to her since she entered High School. It almost seems that her self-esteem has dropped drastically. Every time I want to do her hair like this girl in the video or similar. My daughter always says that she does not want her hair to get a lot of attention. She also states that she does not want other girls to feel bad about their own hair. My daughter is afraid to embrace her own natural beauty. Because she is afraid of offending other girls or she is afraid that other girls will feel bad about themselves. This is so sad. I am very glad that this young lady is embracing herself in this video.

      I understand what your daughter might be feeling. I never wear my hair down or do elaborate styles because I don't want to draw attention. I have thick hair so wearing it down ensures people see it. I didn't want to keep people behind me from seeing what we were being taught. I didn't want my hair to be a problem for others looking back. It's a long process I'm still struggling with this myself but she needs to accept her hair really. There's a whole youtube community you could introduce her to. Take her to a curl specialist so she could see how good her hair can look. It's little things that add up and can help.

      Christine Newhouse Mexican isn’t a race. Do you not realize “black” itself has multiple cultures because it IS a race. It’s like half the people in the comment section don’t think

      Zu Sh actually, "race" doesn't exist, we are ALL one species of human and we ALL originated from Africa. The first Europeans, Americans, Asians etc were all "black" before their features changed to adapt to the climates. Also homo sapiens are a mix of many human species that's why we have so much beautiful diversity !
      Africa isn't the whole world but the whole world is Africa.

      I didn't, I'm a boy, but I just wish my hair was more acceptable for my parents, who aren't straight themselves, especially my dad, but he wasn't raised to like his hair, til this day he think it's "bad", and he's said the same thing about mine

    its probably because im on my period rn but like when Dr. Kari was talking about how passing down oral traditions and braiding hair was so intrinsically linked, and how she was basically doing that with Jasmine? i started bawling 😭😭
    Jasmine youre doing great and looking amazing keep it up!!!!
