@@Five2_ i remember years ago i was in elementary 4th grade and me and my mom was arguing because she wanted to put a perm in my hair because she didn't want to take care of it anymore so she sat me down in a chair and put that white stuff in my hair.... bro i was mad at her for that ... fast word 11 years later a jr in high school fully natural again ^_^
3:05, Absolutely gorgeous, what makes that picture even more beautiful is, she looks like she's not even acknowledging the camera's presence. Not posing for a picture, but just being.
2:40 is the truth. Makes me wonder y African women have so much complex about it. Glad the natural hair movement is coming back in force especially here in Nigeria
I see a non-blacks/Africans wearing "cornrolls", "Boxer braids", "Nap balls" and calling it a trend and "it's just hair". It really hurts especially in a community I've been in for 5+ years. Everytime I see cultural appropriation to my culture and call the idols or celebrities out for it, the fans always defense them. I'm getting so tired of it
I think you should try to see it as emulation. They wear those styles cuz they see black people do it and they generally consider black Americans in specific to be cool so they imitate it. Years ago, it's a thing that's completely unheard of, I see it as a good thing. I'm fine with it as long as it's not meant to disrespect us. Also you misspelled "cornrows" lol
@@soulsearching2722 not in kpop they like black culture in kpop but a lot of them have said very messed up things about black people with their whole chest..
Great video my brother. You got it right. I’m from Igbo just migrated to the States recently. The sad news is that our women will commend this video but still spend the more money than any other people in buying fake hair and Brazilian hair. They judge their beauty by looking like a white woman. Our celebrities are also contributing to this harm. One love motherland.
Our is hair is unique, we don't have texture like others, we don't need to be like everybody else. We were destined to be different and pop and stand out. We are AMAZING
Caucasians were never so interested in our hair until recent.....this is why they made it a requirement to go to school to get a braiding license so they could "steal" another culture identity. (Have you all seen and the "black &white" couple commercials?)
Paranoid. There are lots of other sides to this. I've seen plenty of complaints about stylists who don't know how to do textured hair. It's a huge problem in entertainment. The flip side of that is like entry into that segment of the hair industry for black stylists. Regular people are a split. A staunch racist is never going to admit anything positive about textured hair, but it's been clear to me for ages that others are interested by all the "don't touch my hair" comments. Now you see more people openly admitting admiration. Personally, I'd never want that cold flat stuff growing from my scalp.
Many aspects of African American culture and invention have already been absored by the whole of American society. Culture is one of Americas greatest exports and black culture is a part of that. Somehow black people aren't the ones capitalizing the most off of that.
@@littlegothgirl8869 what do you mean by aren't capitalising? Because I know for a fact most Africans still rock their natural hair and wear it with pride.
Thanks for this video am a 4C hair and have just gone natural. Nothing like Avocado Hair mask and Shea butter neem and hemp oil in my natural mane. Am loving it
This explains why I've been obsessed with my hair since I went back natural! I have locs now and taking care of them is almost like a ritual for me! Loved the video! Thank you so much!
I LOVE that! That is how I think of taking care of my hair: a ritual. It can be a pain in the ass sometimes but it is a labor of love. Especially when I think of how our ancestors have done this ritual before us.
I once caught a slap from my maths teacher for being late to class. The previous lesson was swimming and I had washed my hair in the showers and was drying it. She said it was nonsense when I told her thst my hair takes longer to dry than my white and Asian classmates.
I love Afrikan people, style, MUSIC, funk, the way the English language gets flipped and the remembrance of ancient culture and ancient knowledge. Cant get enough of that good
This is an amazing video and as an African I appreciate all your amazing work ♥️The shaving of heads was also practiced during colonization especially by the British who would shave the heads of the young girls throughout school military style because they claimed that it was a distraction to studies while it was an attack on or curls and kinks. This is why you would always see the young African girls with short hair because of this practice in many Anglophone nations(colonized by British). Within my culture, our baby hair is used for luck when older and we shave the hair of the baby to grow fresh when they are in the physical world from the spiritual world. When the man of the house dies (grandfathers, father or husband) we cut a piece of our hair to be buried with the man of the house. Every immediate family member does this including grandchildren if it’s for the grandfather while the wife will shave her hair bold and wear a hijab/head wrap and black for the entire year in respect for her husband is he died. This is why we believe that it’s bad omen for the woman to be completely bald because it means sickness or death of the men in the family. The men in my culture also look at the thickness of the eyebrows on the woman to see whether she can grow healthy hair as his wife and for his children whether her hair is long or short.
Same! My people too. Also, if your hair was left unbraided it mean something was wrong. If your hair wasn’t done, people assume you are mad. Also, when my mother was younger her father would tell her not to wax her eyebrows or cut her hair too short; because that would reduce her luck. So it is believed that full, thick and healthy hair is good luck and one shouldn’t cut it. Back in the day, If a woman was bald, people automatically assumed she was mad.
I returned back natural and never looked back. I would marvel at my children’s hair like omg they have the prettiest curls ( they are Ethiopian and Cape Verdean ) I wanted my hair to be as beautiful and it is! I love my natural texture ! Just as much as I adore my kids.
I am wondering if anybody else had this kind of practice in their family? My grandmother used to save her hair ever since she was a child. She later used to make dolls that were filled with her hair. These black dolls were wonderful for my sister and me because they smelled like my grandmother. She never threw away her hair.
Another beautiful video brother, a wonderful way to start off the new year! Africans have the best hair on the planet, our hair DEFY'S GRAVITY & is like a plant that needs lots of care and love!
Thank you for your videos. As well as the time and effort it takes to put them together. All of your subscribers are not African by descent. You're doing a great service. Keep up the good work. Be safe and have a Happy New Year.
Please can you do something about the ancient Togo in general then focus on the mina ethnic group of people? Happy new year and more grease to your elbow brother.
