My white hairdresser told me I could where my hair natural. I told her my hair had always been frizzy so my hair wouldn't curl. She said let me try it. So we did. When I saw the curls I laughed hysterically. It was my unconscious shock response. I have been natural ever since.
I am white, I have naturally curly hair that tends to friz. Maybe some would call it bushy. My mom did not understand my hair either. I was made fun of a lot growing up. I did everything I could to make my hair straight. Around 35 I decided to let my hair curl again. Best decision I ever made. Friz and all I am finally me. I have not had a bad hair day since. Just be yourself. Best advice ever. If someone doesn't like it, they are not for you.
I’m white and a trained hairdresser and I absolutely love working with natural 4C hair. I really wish it was embraced more in society and wasn’t deemed ‘unprofessional’. That’s utter bs. It’s natural, it’s beautiful, it’s stunning
It is embraced more in society. The instances where it isn't are isolated and involve minors in schools so not even in professional environments. Just racist schools.
@@bleachedout805 Lmao they are not isolated incidents. Tons of adults and teens think natural hair isn’t professional and opt to get wigs or straighten hair for formal events. Hell it’s so ingrained in women that anything natural is childish. Fake nails, heavy makeup, 12 inch hair, and thin bodies are pushed constantly in commercials/shows. Rarely see natural features in modern media that isn’t altered these days.
I have Native American hair from my paternal grand and great grandparents. I have always been jealous of black girls because of all the amazing and beautiful things that they could do with their hair. It got to a point where my mother refused to do anything with my hair because it doesn't hold a curl no matter who does it, it never stayed in place, and it was always so "silky" from the natural oils produced by my hair and scalp. I, to this day, love watching black girls do things with their hair and wigs irl and online because it still amazes me every time that I see it. You are beautiful and I really wish that everyone thought that way about everyone and themselves.
My hair is the same; it literally cannot hold a curl in its natural state. Whether heated curls or heatless, they all just drop within an hour. I sleep with my hair in a braid every night and wake up to soft waves, but as soon as I comb it, they disappear. When I was 24 I got a curly perm and loved it until my hair started falling out in chunks
I'm also native American, although I'm have American half Canadian. But I always wanted to have black girl hair so I could have a frizzy afro. But I've learned to like my hair. And I hope if not yet you come to like your hair too.
im half native half canadian too :) i love my straight hair. earlier, i took a bath with a mirror and learned that i really like my native traits that ive hated. high cheekbones, my jaw, and my darker features. always being compared to my male relatives..yet seeing myself i realize how uniquely beautiful i am, being mixed too. my amber eyes, my light skin. i was very angry with my native american heritage for some time. there are personal experiences that have made me feel that way. i am spiritual, intuitive, and creative. i see how much of it comes from that side. anyway, i digress.. uhh hair!! all hair is beautiful 😍 be proud of who you are, you dont have to conform to any standards, learn to love yourself for who you are
Honestly I am a white woman, but i was always jealous of black girls hair as a teen. I thought they were absolutely gorgeous. I love y'all and respect you so much for being so wonderful with your hair it is beautiful❤🔥
Good for you, and my generation in the 60s they had no black baby dolls, black folks really didn’t have a choice but to get white dolls for their children, every so often you find some cloth black dolls that were handmade by someone, but they weren’t sold in stores?? As a child I was conflicted, I mean I was literally watching the marches, King being hurt during them (they don’t show y’all this on TV today but I remember it as a child on the news) I listen to Malcolm X speeches, I had family members that was in the black panthers, I remember when the SLA was finally extinguished. It was a conflict in time for me to see how badly bad people were treated but yet we always got white dolls for Christmas and our birthdays and we had to see a white Jesus on our church wall or at grandmothers home. Count your blessings you didn’t have to go through that
@@wresltgal Too funny 🤣 but I can dig it! I was a kid in the 70's and I had white and black dolls. I had that Barbie head that I could try out all different styles with and she was Black (Kiddie City was THEE place to go ☺️). Then when I became a mom, I bought my girls black dolls and maybe one or two white ones. Nice to see dolls of every shade and other ethnicities too.
Been thru sitting every other Saturday getting my hair washed, pressed and straightened as a child. Played with white Barbie dolls, too--all had straight or wavy, too. As I approached my teen years, I got my hair relaxed. Did not appreciate my 4C hair until I got to college. Wore my afro for 12 years until I got a Jheri Curl. Had that style throughout the 1980's until I went back natural and have been natural ever since. I am 70 years old and I can appreciate that black women have a choice to wear our hair in all kind of styles--braids, locs, silk pressed and relaxed styles, the whole gamut of hairstyles. There is no such thing as "Bad Hair." Not as long as it is clean and neat. Love the hair you are in my sister's. ❤️☺️❤️☺️❤️☺️❤️☺️❤️☺️
I now realise how lucky I was, I grew up with my mum diligently taking care of and styling my natural hair. Around 12 years old I began begging for a relaxer because my school friends had relaxed hair. My mum didn’t want to do it but eventually gave in to make me happy. She continued to take care of my hair. At 19/20 I big chopped and now at almost 32 I still have natural hair. I feel like the memory of my mum caring for my natural hair made it so much easier for me to love and accept my natural texture. I now in turn look after my daughter’s natural hair and will absolutely never put a relaxer it. I believe she won’t ever ask for one because of the amount of the love she has for her hair at such a young age 🥰
My mother also took excellent care of my natural hair. I’ve also been told that I have “good hair,” but I think it has more to do with the good care my mother put into it.
@@maryfrances1307 that’s amazing, it makes me happy to know that good natural hair care wasn’t completely non existent across the board. Me too!! I was told I had good hair and even while relaxed I had grown women digging into my hair to feel my scalp for tracks because they couldn’t believe I was a black girl with long hair 😳. I too believe it was testimony to my mum because my hair care went down the drain when I went to uni, I burnt off my hair with relaxer’s and dyes. I suffered with edge loss and breakage all over. Since going back natural and looking after my hair properly my hair is very long and thick again as it was when I was a child. Nothing to do with good hair in my opinion and everything to do with diligence, love, care and good nutrition.
Same here. My Mom has been natural for most of my life and has had locs for over 15 years at this point. She didn’t allow me to relax my hair until I was a teenager and even then she was really careful about helping me maintain it and go to good stylists. I went natural again in my 20s and now (late 20s) I have very healthy, relatively long 4B hair. I’m so glad my Mom both modeled and helped me to appreciate my hair.
As a white girl I had all kinds of barbie dolls growing up: black, asian, white. It was normal to me back then but recently someone told me they only had white dolls too. Anyway, I think natural hair is beautiful and it's always a good thing to learn about your hair and what works for your texture. I have a lot of very fine, straight hair which makes it very hard to keep ponytails or buns in place and when I curl my hair, the curls are mostly gone within a day.
yes same! I always thought it was odd that other people only played w/ white ones but when I was a kid I always got dolls of all different races. maybe it’s a generational difference?
@@user-ke4uy9vi1e There’s no such thing as Generational Differences. If everyone RESPECTED everyone’s differences from the beginning it would have WIPED out what it ALWAYS has been, RACISM.
Afros are so beautiful ! Before we lost my sister (non-bio, my family is white British) we would all love pre braid day, when my mom would remove her braids, brush out her Afro and wash it. It grew so much and she looked so beautiful with it. It makes me so happy to see people love and embrace their hair. Adanna’s hair is so pretty too
Girl you slaying that hair… dude black women are so so so pretty and they have cool hairstyles, I try to incorporate many black characters with dif hairstyles
I remember being told that I don't have "good" hair as a child by my grandparents who were raising me and my aunt complaining about my hair every time she had to style it. That was my imprinting as a little girl, unconsciously I have been replaying this message in every hair choice I have made. I too have recently been owning and facing the harsh truths you raised in this video. Thank you for putting this out there. I think the recent movements towards more of us embracing our natural hair is a wonderful sign that we are finally ready to process this wound, each in our own way.
They don't realize the damage they do to young black girls and even boys. But they were probably raised the same. My mother wasn't the best with hair. My one school teacher who was black always had something to say about it. And asked me one day why don't I get someone to do my hair. I was in the 3rd grade at the time. This teacher just bullied me the entire time. Many people envy my hair now. Tbh I feel it's payback.
Yes, I recall being ashamed of my hair and my mother's frustration with styling. The Jheri Curl was God sent! That constant moisture transformed my hair and self-image. It also became less of a burden for my mother and I could take care of it even as a little girl.
I remember as a little girl when my Black friends told me I had "good hair". I didn't know there was "good hair" or "bad hair". I told them that I had "bad hair" because it just hung there on my head, dead. But they could do so many things to their hair. They could braid it in so many different ways and they could wear jerry curls (it was the 80s). They looked at me with the realization that they had " good hair". It was the adults that were wrong. We were in second grade. Imagine being told that you have "bad hair" as a child. What is wrong with people? Different hair is not bad. Who sets the rules? We do. Black hair is good hair. Take care of it. Don't put chemicals in it and be free and natural. People should conform to your hair---accept and love it or keep it moving. No one will love your hair if you don't love it first. On another note, my son has wavy hair like me and cried once because he wanted an afro like his friend. You see? Your hair is beautiful.
I'm white, but I had a black doll growing up. She had beautiful and long textured hair that i braided her whole head (or i tried at least, her makeup was stunning and her dress was adorable, she was a popstar or Rockstar i think. I don't think I would've ever picked her out myself but I'm glad my parents got me her for Christmas. i really liked having a diversity of barbies that weren't just blonde like me, it felt weird storytelling when they all look alike.
When I was younger I used to hate my hair because I thought having long blonde hair was beautiful and my frizzy hair wasn't and that really deteriorated my confidence,till I saw a video.This video showed me that my frizzy hair and dark skin makes me beautiful.I still have insecurities but now I know that I don't have to be blonde to be beautiful. Sorry about this massive paragraph 😂😭I hope I don't offend anyone but I do hope I have inspired someone to love themselves Thanks for (hopefully) listening
It makes me want to cry. It's so sad!!!! Your hair is so beautiful, just the way it is. It's all springy and puffy and has little sparkles in it. Beautiful little curls, all over
Growing up all I got were those $5 perms and the cutest hairstyles with bows and beads. So when I made it to 15 and didn’t want perms anymore, my mother didn’t know how to care for my hair. All I knew how to do was a puff and Afro and both my parents looked at me different, a bit embarrassed by it in public. Honestly why don’t our mothers know how to care for our natural hair?
They were raised that way. I tried twisting my hair and asked my Mother what she thought. She looked at me then reached into the hiding place. Untied the kerchief in her bosom got out a $10 and told me to go get a perm because it looks like rats been sucking on my hair 😂😂😂😂. I had to wait until I was out of there and grown. I’m eclectic so I fix my hair up down fried died and laid to the side natural and I LOVE WIGS. I said all that to say. DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO WITH YOUR HAIR! LIFE IS MUCH TOO SHORT TO WORRY ABOUT YOUR HAIR ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Now that’s deep! We as people with natural kinky hair have to change our thoughts and think positively on hair. It’s a process and requires patience to take care of natural kinky hair, but possible. Black natural kinky hair is beautiful and what a blessing to have so many choices on doing natural kinky hair! Best wishes on natural kinky hair journey!❤😊🎉
As I was learning to take care of my hair patience was not something I had. I wanted everything to be quick and easy. And I couldn't retain any length.
Artist here, I literally just found you but I have to thank you because I have been stuck with the hair of one of my black characters, but this hairstyle is just what I was looking for. Thank you, you got me out of my art block
Im Dominican and I was one of the few kids born with straight hair while my mom and sister had coarser, curlier hair. Always grew up wishing I had beautiful hair like theirs and yours. Wear your crown with pride💛 bcus I’m over here, losing hair from stress and desperately hoping it grows back
I love that more of us are wearing our own hair. I’ve been natural 10 years. Wigs and weaves are fun but there nothing better than getting the breeze through your own hair.❤️❤️
My Mother used to buy me black dolls if she can find one. My Mother used to hook our hair up. Braids, ponytails, press and curls. I truly miss her RIP!♥️♥️♥️
I’m white and I think that Afro hair is so fascinating and it can be really beautiful I also think darker skin tones help our world to seem normal because we shouldn’t be all the same so no matter what you look like it just counts to me if your a nice person
When we put stuff in my hair to make the curls pop out sometimes during school it starts to get a little puffy and “messy” and people with curly hair (mainly the boys with short curly hair) always say something making me feel insecure however people with straight hair say it looks nice
No ma’am. Your crown is just fine!! Don’t put your security in other people’s hands because they will fail you. As you know already . If it gets a little messy, that’s okay! It won’t be perfect all the time. As long as it’s healthy and you’re doing what you’re supposed to, can’t nobody check you. They haven’t learned how to embrace their own hair texture yet. So YOU be the first one to embrace yours and you pass it along to them ❣️. Who asked for their opinion anyway? 😉😌
I'm Ethnic (Puerto Rican) and I have afro hair. I also have a white (British) mother. My mom didn't know what to do. She was the reason I couldn't embrace my hair. Whether or not she did it on purpose or not it's gonna happen. I always wanted to straighten my hair when I was young, I thought I looked prettier. I've learned to love it now. Its not hard to "handle".
Because they were taught to reject the natural because it was not acceptable. It wasn't until a person or a group of people was bold and had courage to embrace the authenticity of who they/we are.
@@robertaclemmons7999 Well said! Natural hair (4B/C specifically) has taken a long time to be accepted "as is". As a young child, I remember being frustrated and ashamed of my hair (often). Thank GOD for the Jheri Curl! My hair was no longer a concern for my mother. Moisture, moisture, moisture - my hair flourished!! It changed my self-image and how I cared for my hair forever.
Not my momma😂 She kept me and my 3 sisters hair combed, whether it was braids, curls from having rollers in, hot comb that sat on the eye of the stove…she made sure our hair was done 🥹💕
@@DeziDezign The Jheri Curl was the shiznit! 🤣 It grew my hair so much that people thought I was wearing a wig! ☺️ You ain't neva lied: moisture, moisture, moisture! 😍
It's so sad that so many have these experiences of not liking their hair or others saying their hair was unkempt. I never had this experience, and only once saw it happen to someone else(an older lady said my sister would be so pretty if she didnt wear her hair natural). To this day I love my hair and how versatile it is. Silk presses, wigs and weave are fun, but nothing compares to playing with my fro. Even when I'm tired of fixing or or crying over the lack of definition, there's always a new style to try and so I still LOVE my hair. We have a natural crown of beauty, please take care of it, and love it.
Your beautiful with it .I'm regrowing mine. I don't plan to ever go back to the nonsense ..I have to learn to manage it. Our hair is dynamic in strength! HalleluYah 🔥
As someone who is white and an AFAB NB, I have always loved the curls and braids and volume of natural African American hair. Honestly wish I could just learn a fraction of the skill it takes to make the intricate designs I've seen on some of the girls at my school. Or the darker hair color that shows fades and designs so well.
i LOVE black girl hair. it’s absolutely gorgeous!🤩 as someone who has super frizzy hair and is not black, i find it so interesting how yall can get your hair to behave like that 😂 i can barely get it into a ponytail without it frizzing up 😂😂
I'm black and its a challenge to do my hair but with constant help from my mom and tutorial videos, I'm able to control it. I'm glad people love our hair. 😄
Detangling is quite challenging, the time it takes to style the hair puts a strain on my arms and neck but the results are always worth it. I love my afro and it’s versatility
I saw a video from a black male hairdresser. He said put your hair in loose plaits then shampoo. I put 4 plaits. Next is the most important part. Before i unwind the plaits I drench my ends in my oil mix. Then I put detangling cream on the whole plait. This helps your strands untangle from each other. Try it. It works.
This is why we as African American women should tell our girls of color should be proud of the natural hair and beauty. You are a beautiful woman with beautiful textural hair. Love the hairstyle!!!
My dad used to refer to chemically treated hair as "frying your hair". He's dead now and I made him a promise that I would never "fry" my hair. 8 yrs now and I'm going strong
Thank you so much for your videos. Much love from 🇹🇹 I'm so grateful for you and all the natural hair content creators. I'm 36 and only now getting to know and appreciate my hair. Still a bit intimidating. I'm still not sure I'm doing the right things. My hair is so soft and it get tangled a lot when I do two hand twists. I have to pull them apart and bust my hair every time. Wondering if I just go in the shower with them and then try to comb it out??? If that would be better cause my hair keeps getting shorter and thinner. I know cause the twists never look the same as before. When I first twisted them, it was much longer and fuller. Been thinking I should just twist and loc them up using micro twists but...I never got to do things with my hair. I want to eventually be able to do wash n goes and all these beautiful styles I see you do. I know there is plenty with locs as well but...I just...I dunno 😌 My hair gets frizzy and messy very quickly too so I end up doing the twists over a lot. 💆I'm a work in progress.
My most challenging experience was just letting go and knowing my hair was enough. I didn't have to shave my head bald. That I didn't have hair issues. There was nothing wrong with my hair...just everything I was told and taught was wrong. Your videos remind me of that every time I watch. I wish I knew of you as a child. If only youtube was around back then. I wouldn't have gone through the amount of turmoil I went through with my hair and image. I have no females around me to help or be like a sister but I have you. So thank you so much and much much love. You are so beautiful inside and out and it shows. Keep shining. So happy for your move and that you're happy as well. God bless.
I spent four damn hours getting some tiny ass braids and then she wondered why I was straight up crying when I couldn't even feel my right leg and she was literally so mad at me because I was crying even though I literally could not stop 0 out of 10 would not go back and if I did I think I would fight her. So you better be lucky you have never had those tiny ass micro braids especially when those things are tight because I've had so many bad experience with tight hair and it hurts whenever you move your head too much
This made me feel good about my hair for the first time, thank you. I usually try to make it longer and straighter and I don't like it naturally but this made me so proud of it
i love this! thank you for saying this, i am white but i personally love the hair anyone has and i never judge because i know hair is very hard to deal with and either way i find it beautiful!! your cant change it, so embrace it ❤
The way she spoke so strongly and told the story was amazing. I’m mixed and have brown curly hair well it looks black but is brown and it’s really hard to get through sometimes and if I saw a black Barbie doll with a afrow I would be so happy because in my class I’m the only person that has really curly hair so I’m happy I’m not the only one
I recall my Mom just doing poinytails, licking 2 & 3 braids in my hair. Never cornrows or any other Afri styles. During Covid I shaved off all my Relaxed hair and have been natural and learning as I go. I generally wear my hair in two strand twists. I tried rocking a Afro but my hair is too light and the wind parts and flattens it. 😅 I also found that Relaxed products don't work well with Natural hair. The hair struggle is REAL!
I have 5 grown daughters ,when my daughters were young I never braid their hair, in fact I hated braids, because the hair always looked fuzzy, so I combed their hair every single day, I loved ponytails with barrettes and ribbon 🎀 ❤, it wasn't because I didn't know how to maintain Black hair, I just didn't like braids ❤
@@tinasoblessed6350 Unfortunately what you don't teach your daughters will get lost and they may not have that knowledge to pass on to their daughters. 😥
@@Aarticqn My daughters all had pass the shoulder beautiful hair, that I preferred to put ribbons and ponytails in,! My 5 daughters are 47,45,34,33 and 28 years old now, I have 1 very special granddaughter who is 15, who loves different hairstyles.I taught, and instilled so many beautiful blessed things into my daughters, they are beautiful, well educated humble caring wives and mothers! So please don't pass judgment upon me or my daughters, because of a hairstyle, I wouldn't do that to you, even if you had green and pink braids down to your behind! Have a beautiful blessed day! 🙏🏽🤗
@@tinasoblessed6350 No need to get twisted up we are talking about hair. You are the one speaking about values, education etc.. Did I pass judgment or did I point out a fact that knowledge get's lost if not passed down to the children.
Okay first of all just look at those eyes they are beautiful it looks like I'm just on my balcony looking at a beautiful storm about to happen and girl your hair is awesome and I wanted your type of hair ever since I was a little girl girl don't even get me started at the end like damn slay Queen 👌
I don't have that curly of hair but I do have very curly, natural hair that is always puffed up into a bit of an afro and I swear my hair is the only thing I get complimented on. Not my outfit, my humor, nah. My hair is the thing that random people will stop me in the middle of a store to be like "oh my god I love your hair it's so pretty ❤" and I used to be a bit annoyed about it for some reason because I felt like my hair is the only thing that people like about me, but I actually appreciate it now. Even though it's hell to maintain my signature fluffy afro-ish hair, I'm still proud to have my curly, biracial hair :)
Good for you. I love this video! I was made to feel that my hair was too hard as a child and that it was something to be ashamed of because I didn’t have wavy or curly hair. As a result, my hair was straightened and relaxed until about four years ago. I used protective styles to “go natural”, then did the big chop. I am so happy to have my natural hair. I can wear so many styles, and it’s “curlier” and more manageable than I thought.
My experience with dolls was soo different, I never looked at my white or my black dolls and thought that there was something wrong with me…I already knew I was cute, bc my godparents loved dressing me up in pink dresses and braiding up my hair to add beads…they had me feeling like a princess. ***edit: I never really thought much about my black features vs white features, I guess it’s because I was around so many pretty black girls and women wearing their hair all kinds of ways when I was a tot.
Afros are absolutely stunning my favorite hairstyle that I envy people of colors ability to have one you can do so much with it! It always confuses me as to why people think it’s messy I mean look theirs a hair cut called a wolf cut and it’s pretty dang messy if you ask me? Anyways Props to you hun! ❤
Beautiful as always. I must be an odd soul because I was so excited when I got my 1st afro haired barbie doll. She was my favourite lol and I had many white barbie dolls before her.
Try plaits in the shower. @cocoabean is right you need a detangler. Trim your ends. Don't sleep with loose strands, make a French roll or braid them down and tuck under. Before you do that put oil on your ends then bed them down for the night.

Look at you! 🙌🏾 The beauty and versatility of our natural is second to none. Proud of you and your journey boo ❤️
Thankyou for giving props to your white hairdresser. 👏 It's soo refreshing to see the acceptance we want, given as well ❤️🙏
I had an Italian hairdresser who said he loved my hair "because you wear it so many different ways."
Your lucky to have found that her dresser girl. Wish I knew 1.
We are very sad. Honestly.
I am white, I have naturally curly hair that tends to friz. Maybe some would call it bushy. My mom did not understand my hair either. I was made fun of a lot growing up. I did everything I could to make my hair straight. Around 35 I decided to let my hair curl again. Best decision I ever made. Friz and all I am finally me. I have not had a bad hair day since. Just be yourself. Best advice ever. If someone doesn't like it, they are not for you.
Big ups to you
Thanks

I have Native American hair from my paternal grand and great grandparents. I have always been jealous of black girls because of all the amazing and beautiful things that they could do with their hair. It got to a point where my mother refused to do anything with my hair because it doesn't hold a curl no matter who does it, it never stayed in place, and it was always so "silky" from the natural oils produced by my hair and scalp.

My hair is the same; it literally cannot hold a curl in its natural state. Whether heated curls or heatless, they all just drop within an hour. I sleep with my hair in a braid every night and wake up to soft waves, but as soon as I comb it, they disappear.
When I was 24 I got a curly perm and loved it until my hair started falling out in chunks
Totally agree (white girl with wavy hair that almost always frizzes out)
I'm also native American, although I'm have American half Canadian. But I always wanted to have black girl hair so I could have a frizzy afro. But I've learned to like my hair. And I hope if not yet you come to like your hair too.
im half native half canadian too :) i love my straight hair. earlier, i took a bath with a mirror and learned that i really like my native traits that ive hated. high cheekbones, my jaw, and my darker features. always being compared to my male relatives..yet seeing myself i realize how uniquely beautiful i am, being mixed too. my amber eyes, my light skin. i was very angry with my native american heritage for some time. there are personal experiences that have made me feel that way. i am spiritual, intuitive, and creative. i see how much of it comes from that side.
anyway, i digress.. uhh hair!! all hair is beautiful 😍 be proud of who you are, you dont have to conform to any standards, learn to love yourself for who you are
I love how strongly she speaks, I could listen to her forever

No need to be jealous. Just admire it. Your hair is just as beautiful!
baby that's quick an manageable I'll wear it I love it sister power to our people 🙏❤️
My parents always bought me black dolls and the one year I got a white one I looked at it like what is this
Screamingggg… glad to know they even sold them then because growing up as a child, I barely saw Black dolls which is sad!
@@AdannaMadueke it is but fortunately now my nieces can experience the things that were so rare for us
Loool
Good for you, and my generation in the 60s they had no black baby dolls, black folks really didn’t have a choice but to get white dolls for their children, every so often you find some cloth black dolls that were handmade by someone, but they weren’t sold in stores?? As a child I was conflicted, I mean I was literally watching the marches, King being hurt during them (they don’t show y’all this on TV today but I remember it as a child on the news) I listen to Malcolm X speeches, I had family members that was in the black panthers, I remember when the SLA was finally extinguished. It was a conflict in time for me to see how badly bad people were treated but yet we always got white dolls for Christmas and our birthdays and we had to see a white Jesus on our church wall or at grandmothers home. Count your blessings you didn’t have to go through that
@@wresltgal Too funny 🤣 but I can dig it! I was a kid in the 70's and I had white and black dolls. I had that Barbie head that I could try out all different styles with and she was Black (Kiddie City was THEE place to go ☺️). Then when I became a mom, I bought my girls black dolls and maybe one or two white ones. Nice to see dolls of every shade and other ethnicities too.
Been thru sitting every other Saturday getting my hair washed, pressed and straightened as a child. Played with white Barbie dolls, too--all had straight or wavy, too. As I approached my teen years, I got my hair relaxed.
Did not appreciate my 4C hair until I got to college. Wore my afro for 12 years until I got a Jheri Curl. Had that style throughout the 1980's until I went back natural and have been natural ever since. I am 70 years old and I can appreciate that black women have a choice to wear our hair in all kind of styles--braids, locs, silk pressed and relaxed styles, the whole gamut of hairstyles. There is no such thing as "Bad Hair." Not as long as it is clean and neat. Love the hair you are in my sister's.

Well said Belinda👏🏿👏🏿x
Exactly!!! AMEN!!💕💕
Thanks for taking us thru your hair journey because we are all learning.
Thanks
Black hair has always been the most beautiful and extremely versatile!! Nothing like black beauty!
That's just what you are a representation Of the Beauty of our Black Hair, Thank you for Bringing consciousness with your Beautiful natural styles😘💜🖤💯
I now realise how lucky I was, I grew up with my mum diligently taking care of and styling my natural hair. Around 12 years old I began begging for a relaxer because my school friends had relaxed hair. My mum didn’t want to do it but eventually gave in to make me happy. She continued to take care of my hair. At 19/20 I big chopped and now at almost 32 I still have natural hair. I feel like the memory of my mum caring for my natural hair made it so much easier for me to love and accept my natural texture. I now in turn look after my daughter’s natural hair and will absolutely never put a relaxer it. I believe she won’t ever ask for one because of the amount of the love she has for her hair at such a young age 🥰
My mother also took excellent care of my natural hair. I’ve also been told that I have “good hair,” but I think it has more to do with the good care my mother put into it.
@@maryfrances1307 that’s amazing, it makes me happy to know that good natural hair care wasn’t completely non existent across the board. Me too!! I was told I had good hair and even while relaxed I had grown women digging into my hair to feel my scalp for tracks because they couldn’t believe I was a black girl with long hair 😳. I too believe it was testimony to my mum because my hair care went down the drain when I went to uni, I burnt off my hair with relaxer’s and dyes. I suffered with edge loss and breakage all over. Since going back natural and looking after my hair properly my hair is very long and thick again as it was when I was a child. Nothing to do with good hair in my opinion and everything to do with diligence, love, care and good nutrition.
Same here. My Mom has been natural for most of my life and has had locs for over 15 years at this point. She didn’t allow me to relax my hair until I was a teenager and even then she was really careful about helping me maintain it and go to good stylists. I went natural again in my 20s and now (late 20s) I have very healthy, relatively long 4B hair. I’m so glad my Mom both modeled and helped me to appreciate my hair.
Me too! Beautiful braids and Afro puffs. I love my African hair! I love me some African men!!!!!!
💗💗💗
As a white girl I had all kinds of barbie dolls growing up: black, asian, white. It was normal to me back then but recently someone told me they only had white dolls too. Anyway, I think natural hair is beautiful and it's always a good thing to learn about your hair and what works for your texture. I have a lot of very fine, straight hair which makes it very hard to keep ponytails or buns in place and when I curl my hair, the curls are mostly gone within a day.
Yeah Barbie and the Rockers were all different ethnicities. We loved that band
@@Holidaygirl7 and Bratz dolls too.
yes same! I always thought it was odd that other people only played w/ white ones but when I was a kid I always got dolls of all different races. maybe it’s a generational difference?
@@user-ke4uy9vi1e There’s no such thing as Generational Differences.
If everyone RESPECTED everyone’s differences from the beginning it would have WIPED out what it ALWAYS has been, RACISM.
Afros are so beautiful ! Before we lost my sister (non-bio, my family is white British) we would all love pre braid day, when my mom would remove her braids, brush out her Afro and wash it. It grew so much and she looked so beautiful with it. It makes me so happy to see people love and embrace their hair. Adanna’s hair is so pretty too
Girl you slaying that hair… dude black women are so so so pretty and they have cool hairstyles, I try to incorporate many black characters with dif hairstyles
I remember being told that I don't have "good" hair as a child by my grandparents who were raising me and my aunt complaining about my hair every time she had to style it. That was my imprinting as a little girl, unconsciously I have been replaying this message in every hair choice I have made. I too have recently been owning and facing the harsh truths you raised in this video. Thank you for putting this out there. I think the recent movements towards more of us embracing our natural hair is a wonderful sign that we are finally ready to process this wound, each in our own way.
They don't realize the damage they do to young black girls and even boys. But they were probably raised the same. My mother wasn't the best with hair. My one school teacher who was black always had something to say about it. And asked me one day why don't I get someone to do my hair. I was in the 3rd grade at the time. This teacher just bullied me the entire time. Many people envy my hair now. Tbh I feel it's payback.
Yes, I recall being ashamed of my hair and my mother's frustration with styling. The Jheri Curl was God sent! That constant moisture transformed my hair and self-image. It also became less of a burden for my mother and I could take care of it even as a little girl.
I remember as a little girl when my Black friends told me I had "good hair". I didn't know there was "good hair" or "bad hair". I told them that I had "bad hair" because it just hung there on my head, dead. But they could do so many things to their hair. They could braid it in so many different ways and they could wear jerry curls (it was the 80s). They looked at me with the realization that they had " good hair". It was the adults that were wrong. We were in second grade. Imagine being told that you have "bad hair" as a child. What is wrong with people? Different hair is not bad. Who sets the rules? We do. Black hair is good hair. Take care of it. Don't put chemicals in it and be free and natural. People should conform to your hair---accept and love it or keep it moving. No one will love your hair if you don't love it first.
On another note, my son has wavy hair like me and cried once because he wanted an afro like his friend. You see? Your hair is beautiful.
Simply STUNNING!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
1- your hair is absolutely gorgeous
2- Afros are so pretttyyyyyyy
3- your voice is so nice:)
Gorgeous. Simply beautiful.
I'm white, but I had a black doll growing up. She had beautiful and long textured hair that i braided her whole head (or i tried at least, her makeup was stunning and her dress was adorable, she was a popstar or Rockstar i think. I don't think I would've ever picked her out myself but I'm glad my parents got me her for Christmas. i really liked having a diversity of barbies that weren't just blonde like me, it felt weird storytelling when they all look alike.
When I was younger I used to hate my hair because I thought having long blonde hair was beautiful and my frizzy hair wasn't and that really deteriorated my confidence,till I saw a video.This video showed me that my frizzy hair and dark skin makes me beautiful.I still have insecurities but now I know that I don't have to be blonde to be beautiful.
Sorry about this massive paragraph 😂😭I hope I don't offend anyone but I do hope I have inspired someone to love themselves
Thanks for (hopefully) listening
Being you is what makes you beautiful 🥰
No apologies needed. Your comment is what we all need, as a reminder that we are beautiful in every color, shape and size.
Why would that offend anyone?
oh I fully 100 percent agree your hair is gorgeous, your gorgeous ,seriously gorgeous
I love 💕 Adanna!!!
It makes me want to cry. It's so sad!!!! Your hair is so beautiful, just the way it is. It's all springy and puffy and has little sparkles in it. Beautiful little curls, all over
Thank you, kind lady ❤️
This! I noticed natural hair sparkles!
@@ojyochan yes absolutely. Natural hair SPARKLES!!! To me it looks like diamonds on black velvet
It's a lovely color too
Our hair texture is unique and should be cared for and love. I am almost 52 and is only now learning to care for my hair.
Beautifully said and completely endorsed 👏👏👏👏👏👏
You are truly beautiful. Your soul shines out of you! And your hair is incredible!
Growing up all I got were those $5 perms and the cutest hairstyles with bows and beads. So when I made it to 15 and didn’t want perms anymore, my mother didn’t know how to care for my hair. All I knew how to do was a puff and Afro and both my parents looked at me different, a bit embarrassed by it in public. Honestly why don’t our mothers know how to care for our natural hair?
My moms not even black and she’s been caring for my hair since I was 2 years old, it’s been 9 years since then.
They were raised that way. I tried twisting my hair and asked my Mother what she thought. She looked at me then reached into the hiding place. Untied the kerchief in her bosom got out a $10 and told me to go get a perm because it looks like rats been sucking on my hair 😂😂😂😂. I had to wait until I was out of there and grown. I’m eclectic so I fix my hair up down fried died and laid to the side natural and I LOVE WIGS. I said all that to say. DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO WITH YOUR HAIR! LIFE IS MUCH TOO SHORT TO WORRY ABOUT YOUR HAIR ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
They(boomers and back) were really only taught how to be a man’s doormat and basic child care.
Now that’s deep! We as people with natural kinky hair have to change our thoughts and think positively on hair. It’s a process and requires patience to take care of natural kinky hair, but possible. Black natural kinky hair is beautiful and what a blessing to have so many choices on doing natural kinky hair! Best wishes on natural kinky hair journey!❤😊🎉
As I was learning to take care of my hair patience was not something I had. I wanted everything to be quick and easy. And I couldn't retain any length.
Totally stunning. Gorgeous woman !!!
Artist here, I literally just found you but I have to thank you because I have been stuck with the hair of one of my black characters, but this hairstyle is just what I was looking for. Thank you, you got me out of my art block
Im Dominican and I was one of the few kids born with straight hair while my mom and sister had coarser, curlier hair. Always grew up wishing I had beautiful hair like theirs and yours. Wear your crown with pride💛 bcus I’m over here, losing hair from stress and desperately hoping it grows back
Thank you! And may yours continue to grow back fuller than before. ❤❤❤
Embrace yours too❤️
I always grew up wanting hair like yours I’m half Dominican.
Your lying
Awe honey. All hair is beautiful. God bless you and take your stress away
I love that more of us are wearing our own hair. I’ve been natural 10 years. Wigs and weaves are fun but there nothing better than getting the breeze through your own hair.❤️❤️
That hair style is beautiful I love it, you suit it.
Stunningly beautiful, and dont let anyone tell you different!!!
My Mother used to buy me black dolls if she can find one. My Mother used to hook our hair up. Braids, ponytails, press and curls. I truly miss her RIP!♥️♥️♥️
I’m white and I think that Afro hair is so fascinating and it can be really beautiful I also think darker skin tones help our world to seem normal because we shouldn’t be all the same so no matter what you look like it just counts to me if your a nice person
You are absolutely right our hair is beautiful and unique.
When we put stuff in my hair to make the curls pop out sometimes during school it starts to get a little puffy and “messy” and people with curly hair (mainly the boys with short curly hair) always say something making me feel insecure however people with straight hair say it looks nice
This looks awesome
No ma’am. Your crown is just fine!! Don’t put your security in other people’s hands because they will fail you. As you know already .
If it gets a little messy, that’s okay! It won’t be perfect all the time. As long as it’s healthy and you’re doing what you’re supposed to, can’t nobody check you. They haven’t learned how to embrace their own hair texture yet. So YOU be the first one to embrace yours and you pass it along to them ❣️.
Who asked for their opinion anyway? 😉😌
Believe the other people. We have even brainwashed to hate ourselves. We r beautiful!
@@AWholeVibe96 ty😊🫶🏽
@@angrycannibal6625 that’s true😊🫶🏽
I'm Ethnic (Puerto Rican) and I have afro hair. I also have a white (British) mother. My mom didn't know what to do. She was the reason I couldn't embrace my hair. Whether or not she did it on purpose or not it's gonna happen.
I always wanted to straighten my hair when I was young, I thought I looked prettier. I've learned to love it now. Its not hard to "handle".
It's true why don't our parents know how to take care of our hair
Because they were taught to reject the natural because it was not acceptable. It wasn't until a person or a group of people was bold and had courage to embrace the authenticity of who they/we are.
@@robertaclemmons7999 Well said! Natural hair (4B/C specifically) has taken a long time to be accepted "as is". As a young child, I remember being frustrated and ashamed of my hair (often). Thank GOD for the Jheri Curl! My hair was no longer a concern for my mother. Moisture, moisture, moisture - my hair flourished!! It changed my self-image and how I cared for my hair forever.
Not my momma😂 She kept me and my 3 sisters hair combed, whether it was braids, curls from having rollers in, hot comb that sat on the eye of the stove…she made sure our hair was done 🥹💕
@@DeziDezign The Jheri Curl was the shiznit! 🤣 It grew my hair so much that people thought I was wearing a wig! ☺️ You ain't neva lied: moisture, moisture, moisture! 😍
@@oshabae8085 Preach! I remember all of this! 🙌🏽
Thank you for caring for your natural hair.
This message and visual tutorial is directly to the point, and a public service that is unquantifiable.
See now is one of the times when I wish CZcams had a love button not just a mere like because I absolutely love this!
Thank you Sister. You. Are. Beautiful! We have been brainwashed. More of us need to learn this.
It's so sad that so many have these experiences of not liking their hair or others saying their hair was unkempt. I never had this experience, and only once saw it happen to someone else(an older lady said my sister would be so pretty if she didnt wear her hair natural). To this day I love my hair and how versatile it is. Silk presses, wigs and weave are fun, but nothing compares to playing with my fro. Even when I'm tired of fixing or or crying over the lack of definition, there's always a new style to try and so I still LOVE my hair.
We have a natural crown of beauty, please take care of it, and love it.
I just love afro hair...it is so BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Your wisdom is so appreciated. Thank you for your beautiful words. Your hair looks amazing!
Your beautiful with it .I'm regrowing mine. I don't plan to ever go back to the nonsense ..I have to learn to manage it. Our hair is dynamic in strength! HalleluYah 🔥
As someone who is white and an AFAB NB, I have always loved the curls and braids and volume of natural African American hair. Honestly wish I could just learn a fraction of the skill it takes to make the intricate designs I've seen on some of the girls at my school. Or the darker hair color that shows fades and designs so well.
What is an AFAB NB ?
@@inialsoknownasinem I'm nonbinary (NB) but I was assigned female at birth (AFAB).
So impressed you can do that to yourself. So beautiful!
i LOVE black girl hair. it’s absolutely gorgeous!🤩
as someone who has super frizzy hair and is not black, i find it so interesting how yall can get your hair to behave like that 😂 i can barely get it into a ponytail without it frizzing up 😂😂
I'm black and its a challenge to do my hair but with constant help from my mom and tutorial videos, I'm able to control it. I'm glad people love our hair. 😄
Be fucking fr
@@nanabanana5627 what? you don’t like people liking hair of another race?
Detangling is quite challenging, the time it takes to style the hair puts a strain on my arms and neck but the results are always worth it. I love my afro and it’s versatility
I saw a video from a black male hairdresser. He said put your hair in loose plaits then shampoo. I put 4 plaits. Next is the most important part. Before i unwind the plaits I drench my ends in my oil mix. Then I put detangling cream on the whole plait. This helps your strands untangle from each other. Try it. It works.
@@MsSnu ill try this. My daughters hair is extremely kinky😢
Use lots of water and conditioner to detangle..
get the Felicia Leatherwood brush. game changer!
@@MsSnu that's what i do when i take out my braids.
You are absolutely beautiful and so is your hair. Thank you for sharing
This is why we as African American women should tell our girls of color should be proud of the natural hair and beauty. You are a beautiful woman with beautiful textural hair. Love the hairstyle!!!
My dad used to refer to chemically treated hair as "frying your hair". He's dead now and I made him a promise that I would never "fry" my hair. 8 yrs now and I'm going strong
My dad used to say “fried, dyed and laid to the side”.
What’s been one of the most challenging experience on your natural hair journey? 🥺
Detangling my hair because it's quite soft and breaks easily
Detangling my hair😩 because it gets tangled after every wash
Thank you so much for your videos. Much love from 🇹🇹 I'm so grateful for you and all the natural hair content creators. I'm 36 and only now getting to know and appreciate my hair. Still a bit intimidating. I'm still not sure I'm doing the right things. My hair is so soft and it get tangled a lot when I do two hand twists. I have to pull them apart and bust my hair every time. Wondering if I just go in the shower with them and then try to comb it out??? If that would be better cause my hair keeps getting shorter and thinner. I know cause the twists never look the same as before. When I first twisted them, it was much longer and fuller. Been thinking I should just twist and loc them up using micro twists but...I never got to do things with my hair. I want to eventually be able to do wash n goes and all these beautiful styles I see you do. I know there is plenty with locs as well but...I just...I dunno 😌 My hair gets frizzy and messy very quickly too so I end up doing the twists over a lot. 💆I'm a work in progress.
My most challenging experience was just letting go and knowing my hair was enough. I didn't have to shave my head bald. That I didn't have hair issues. There was nothing wrong with my hair...just everything I was told and taught was wrong. Your videos remind me of that every time I watch. I wish I knew of you as a child. If only youtube was around back then. I wouldn't have gone through the amount of turmoil I went through with my hair and image. I have no females around me to help or be like a sister but I have you. So thank you so much and much much love. You are so beautiful inside and out and it shows. Keep shining. So happy for your move and that you're happy as well. God bless.
Laziness and skill
You're so beautiful Adanna!
Legitimately, you look absolutely STUNNING
Her talking about the story
Me: how tf do you get the braids that small🥶
Wait till you see micro braids….
That's small? You ain't see crap yet
mine are smaller😭
Lmao it can be even smaller
I spent four damn hours getting some tiny ass braids and then she wondered why I was straight up crying when I couldn't even feel my right leg and she was literally so mad at me because I was crying even though I literally could not stop 0 out of 10 would not go back and if I did I think I would fight her. So you better be lucky you have never had those tiny ass micro braids especially when those things are tight because I've had so many bad experience with tight hair and it hurts whenever you move your head too much
I actually live how black people dress up and do their hair. It is so beautiful and amazing! I love y'all
YOU'RE SO INTELLIGENT, INTERESTING AND FIRST SO BEAUTIFUL ❤️💋 LOVE YOU SIS!!!

Why do u have to be so beautiful?! Like I don't understand, even with no makeup I still cannot stop thinking about how pretty you are! 🤭❤❤

This hair texture is totally beautiful. You can do anything with it.
You are so right!
Your hair looks so good and you are really talented!(and pretty lol)
This made me feel good about my hair for the first time, thank you. I usually try to make it longer and straighter and I don't like it naturally but this made me so proud of it
i love this! thank you for saying this, i am white but i personally love the hair anyone has and i never judge because i know hair is very hard to deal with and either way i find it beautiful!! your cant change it, so embrace it ❤
💕💞💓❤️💘💝‼️ Even our natural hair we are beautiful‼️‼️
The way she spoke so strongly and told the story was amazing.
I’m mixed and have brown curly hair well it looks black but is brown and it’s really hard to get through sometimes and if I saw a black Barbie doll with a afrow I would be so happy because in my class I’m the only person that has really curly hair so I’m happy I’m not the only one
I recall my Mom just doing poinytails, licking 2 & 3 braids in my hair. Never cornrows or any other Afri styles.
During Covid I shaved off all my Relaxed hair and have been natural and learning as I go.
I generally wear my hair in two strand twists.
I tried rocking a Afro but my hair is too light and the wind parts and flattens it. 😅
I also found that Relaxed products don't work well with Natural hair.
The hair struggle is REAL!
I have 5 grown daughters ,when my daughters were young I never braid their hair, in fact I hated braids, because the hair always looked fuzzy, so I combed their hair every single day, I loved ponytails with barrettes and ribbon 🎀 ❤, it wasn't because I didn't know how to maintain Black hair, I just didn't like braids ❤
@@tinasoblessed6350 Unfortunately what you don't teach your daughters will get lost and they may not have that knowledge to pass on to their daughters. 😥
@@Aarticqn My daughters all had pass the shoulder beautiful hair, that I preferred to put ribbons and ponytails in,! My 5 daughters are 47,45,34,33 and 28 years old now, I have 1 very special granddaughter who is 15, who loves different hairstyles.I taught, and instilled so many beautiful blessed things into my daughters, they are beautiful, well educated humble caring wives and mothers! So please don't pass judgment upon me or my daughters, because of a hairstyle, I wouldn't do that to you, even if you had green and pink braids down to your behind! Have a beautiful blessed day! 🙏🏽🤗
@@tinasoblessed6350 No need to get twisted up we are talking about hair. You are the one speaking about values, education etc..
Did I pass judgment or did I point out a fact that knowledge get's lost if not passed down to the children.
@@Aarticqn my mom never taught me about how to do my natural hair. She just said I'd figure it out then would get mad that I never did.

This style is absolutely stunning
Okay first of all just look at those eyes they are beautiful it looks like I'm just on my balcony looking at a beautiful storm about to happen and girl your hair is awesome and I wanted your type of hair ever since I was a little girl girl don't even get me started at the end like damn slay Queen 👌
I don't have that curly of hair but I do have very curly, natural hair that is always puffed up into a bit of an afro and I swear my hair is the only thing I get complimented on. Not my outfit, my humor, nah. My hair is the thing that random people will stop me in the middle of a store to be like "oh my god I love your hair it's so pretty ❤" and I used to be a bit annoyed about it for some reason because I felt like my hair is the only thing that people like about me, but I actually appreciate it now. Even though it's hell to maintain my signature fluffy afro-ish hair, I'm still proud to have my curly, biracial hair :)
Good for you. I love this video! I was made to feel that my hair was too hard as a child and that it was something to be ashamed of because I didn’t have wavy or curly hair. As a result, my hair was straightened and relaxed until about four years ago. I used protective styles to “go natural”, then did the big chop. I am so happy to have my natural hair. I can wear so many styles, and it’s “curlier” and more manageable than I thought.
Girl! U r so naturally beautiful.
My experience with dolls was soo different, I never looked at my white or my black dolls and thought that there was something wrong with me…I already knew I was cute, bc my godparents loved dressing me up in pink dresses and braiding up my hair to add beads…they had me feeling like a princess.
***edit: I never really thought much about my black features vs white features, I guess it’s because I was around so many pretty black girls and women wearing their hair all kinds of ways when I was a tot.
Afros are absolutely stunning my favorite hairstyle that I envy people of colors ability to have one you can do so much with it! It always confuses me as to why people think it’s messy I mean look theirs a hair cut called a wolf cut and it’s pretty dang messy if you ask me? Anyways Props to you hun! ❤
You...look...GORGEOUS!! 😭❤️
she is so pretty
Beautiful as always. I must be an odd soul because I was so excited when I got my 1st afro haired barbie doll. She was my favourite lol and I had many white barbie dolls before her.
🥺🤗🤎🤎
My hair knots so much, the detangling proccess for me isn't easy.
Well try this boiled rice water fenugreek and clove as a leave in treatment.use castor oil or grapeseed oil for moisture.thank me later.
Try plaits in the shower. @cocoabean is right you need a detangler. Trim your ends. Don't sleep with loose strands, make a French roll or braid them down and tuck under. Before you do that put oil on your ends then bed them down for the night.
Your Beautiful your hair great condition. Thanks for sharing!!!!
I agree with you. Your hair is beautiful.
Very nicely done and I stand in FULL agreement with you!
Your hair is so gorgeous! Glad you've learned to love it.
Absolutely beautiful! I love my natrual Afro hair. ❤😊
OFC ITS BEAUTIFUL ITS STUNNING ❤❤❤
she is stunning ❤
She's gorgeous
I think black hair is awesome. The versatility of styles that can be done with black hair is amazing.
I think natural hair is gorgeous. I love seeing people expressing themselves, loving who they are. Beautiful style you just did too! Love it!
