To my Melanesian, Micronesian, and Polynesian friends: you guys and your culture are so cool! 😄
modern day polynesians are nothing like proto polynesians.
@@BLACK_LIVES_MATTER64 bruh stop lying tf
Everyone should know that Polynesians originated from Melanesia. From my people Fiji.
I’m a white guy and I’m into Pacific islander girls
@@mahalolowa4907how did I not know that and I’m poly😭
I had a Samoan girlfriend in college (1970) and looking back I think she was the nicest person I ever met.
I think I am close to home..😁
sadly u left her..
@@jha525 he left her for Becky😁
Samoans generally strike me as the most pure Polynesian-blooded of all the Pacific Islanders. I'm sure there are a number of mixed Samoan ppl around, but while I could be wrong, most Samoans are PURE POLYNESIAN types. Samoan WOMEN routinely pick average adult men up like they're a sack of potatoes, and those BIIIIIIG ole women you can tell are some pure powerful Samoan bloodlines happening there. I respect them for it, though while I'm a strong man myself, I damn sure still don't want a GF who gets a bit drunk, then decides she's gonna hoist my 220 pound self over her shoulder?! FUCK THAT. I'm gonna go for a more feminine chick over in the Cook Islands ;)
Samoans are wholesome people, funny characters but strong headed especially the females. Although poly myself not Samoan but CookIslander, I wouldn't get cheeky to a Samoan girl, unless you wana go flying out the window 😬
All my life, I've been insecure about my poofy, frizzy hair and always put it in a bun. When I hear that yall prefer long, poofy hair for your dances, it makes me feel happy. I never knew. I'm slowly starting on my hair journey and appreciating my hair even more.
Do you know your genealogy? My ggg grandmother was born in Tahiti in 1791 during the time the Europeans (The Bounty) and other ships were sailing to Tahiti and my Grandfather born in Scotland came to Tahiti on that ship and met my grandmother and they married and 1 baby girl. My grandfather drowned on the Pandora ship when he went out to see and then shortly after my grandmother who was born in Tahiti died of grief. Their baby became Orhaned and was raised by her grandfather Chief Tippaoo. As a child she went out on Voages and when she came to California and met a man started the next 6 generations In California which led to me. I moved to Tennessee as a child with my mother and had 6 children here so I ended my blood line in California. But my hair is like yours and I appreciate it so much, I also have the same body type as short petite tahition women with big hips
I love Pacific Islanders ladies, much love from The Philippines 🇵🇭
I love pinoy chicks. Much love from us Pacific Islanders 🤣🤝🤙
Proud to be Melanesian with long frizzy beautiful hair
Liee Bieebs I’m melanisian but I have short frizzy hair 😢😢😢
@@jolenegabii8498 it's okay love. I'm Polynesian & mixed and I have wavy frizzy hair
@@jolenegabii8498 it's okay love. I'm Polynesian with frizzy mid length hair .
Proud taino with long fizzy culy hair
I'm a melanesian dude and proud of my so called 'steelwool' hair lol #wantok!
The smile, the hair, belly, and the smooth sway of the dance! Love it! 👏😎🏖🌴☀️🇦🇺
Love at 6:00 cracks me up the description of the tools to crack skulls and tools for cannibalism. And how she smiles saying she was serious! 😂
That was a little messed up. I respect cultures, but come on.
Island girls always have the prettiest hair🌺🌹🌺🌸🌺
Bryne Dolor yup! People say Malaysian hair is and no doubt it’s beautiful hair but poly girls have a distinct texture to their hair.
I'm an island girl and my hair nappy 😬
prettiest smile too
Taylor TLAT a texture that’s not at all natural, these girls have straight stringy hair real Polynesians hair is coarser and wavier!
@@taylortlat2214 Polynesian hair is just like Asian hair, but Polynesian hair is more resilient and dosen't break easily
I’ve been scouring the web to find any kind of footage on Polynesian hair so I’m so glad this was posted. Thank you 🌺
Hi
Polynesians dont have african hair no hate just true we had either straight wavy or frizzy
@@dalastkanakamaoli9058 Who's talking abt Black hair?
Hairs are God's gifts to island girls. Love it my Raro niece and a nieces are beautiful
Thank you for acknowledging our African braids ❤️🥰 bless you
African braids?
Africans dont do braids
All these beautiful Nesian Women! Makes me so proud of my Culture❤️
I'm a Romanian girl with big natural hair and I felt so appreciated when I saw that girls braid their hair to make it fluffy 🥰
Love me some island girl 😉
Most beautiful girls on the planet 🙌
You mean polynesian.
And natural
@@truthseeker5803 Island girl is not only Poly, but yeah .
As i am from Aitutaki , I'm proud to see this...... Arohanui.....
My sisters! *STH PACIFIC QUEENS* 👑 ✨ 🙏🏾 💞
Beautiful, it's the Victoria's Secret of the pacific, such beauty and hard work from the dance routines to the labour intensive adornments and lets not forget the hair omg!! Wonderful eye candy well done.
I'm kuki and Tahitian, 3 out of 5 of us siblings have straighter kuki hair but my sister and I definitely inherited the naturally big, curly and poofy Tahitian hair
I like island girls and I find them very gorgeous & sweet... but the island guys can be really warrior like fierce, huge, strong and protective over their girls.......I might end up in some trash bin if i make a move on those pretty angels. I guess i am not man enough.
Man up
Hahahaha wise decision bro 😂😂😂
No you don't need to feel lesser if you admire them. We all have innate value in ourselves indipendent of how others are. Water your grass.
Polynesian here 🙋♀️
Thank u
To all my Polynesian/ Island women you are ALL BEAUTIFUL QUEENS with your ehu hair and flowers in your ears ❤🙌
Much love from The Philippines 🇵🇭
Poly women are soo beautiful...love my ladies...
cool username
All of them are so gorgeous!
Amen to that mama. The hair is the most prized possession of a pacific female.
Whatever hair you have..just be proud that you have hair..LOL! Others have lost their hair like me!
Faatoiaboy I’m sorry for your loss 🙏
Fijis outfit is amazing 👍
Island style 🤙🏽🇬🇺🇲🇵🤙🏽 !!!!!! Love my Island life ........ Island boy ❤️🙏🏽❤️
Polynesia & Micronesia :
Melanesia : Can’t relate ... but I’m proud of our nappy headed hairs 🥰
All hair is beautiful 😍
Hey we are all different. My dad has black straight hair. His 2 brothers same mom and dad 1 has black afro and the other has red afro. It is what it is. Many polys have afro hair not just Melanesians. Prob from similar ancestors.
Not all melanesians have the curly or fro, a lot of women in my family have the dead straight hair so really it’s just whatever at this point.
Naaaw we micros are in between! Many of us have nappy long hair & also many of us have straight hairs.
😱OMG brotha, these island gurls are 💯naturally fiiiiiiinnnnnnnnne!!! 😍🏝
What a great and beautiful cultures! I feel its telling us so much, be natural, stay close to nature, it looks happy healthy and so much more
They REALLY were until the Europeans sailed there in the late 1700s and brought a bunch of diseases and alcohol and then Christianity. They had their own beliefs and beautiful culture before then. Now France owns Tahiti =(
Shoutout to all my beautiful pacific sisters. Cheers to preserving and sharing our culture. Good video, but i was hoping for Micronesian representation too.. Next time i guess
We tend to be left out for some reason 🤷 good video though ☺️
They so beautiful
Oh My Goodness! They are all so lovely!
Island girls
I love the way you move me, move me
If I had one weakness it would be island woman
Without the beauty all around, what are you gonna do, mon?
If I had one of these girls as my companion
We'd be looking at all the stars under the banyan
So I be sendin' all my love to the princess of the sea
Melanesian, Micronesian, Polynesian beauty
I'm filipino and find them very beautiful
Turning long silky hair into curly bushy hair will always be a hassle... Most Tahitians/CookIslanders/Maoris have European and Asian DNA and that explains why... Where as most Polynesians who haven't intermixed and are the most fluent in their languages Like Samoans and Tongans tend to have hair that maintains its texture and does not need curly maintenance... When I look at someone who with pure Polynesian features/hair etc I can tell they were born into rich ancestry and culture.
DudeSerious777 Every race including European&Asian has a rich ancestry & culture; it’s not just the Islanders of the Pacific. Just cause someone is mixed doesn’t mean their ancestry & culture is diluted. In my opinion it enriches the person that they get to be brought up with a mixture of cultures. As long as they are taught well.
I know a lot of half caste Islanders who were brought up in the islands and are more fluent & more knowledgeable & immersed in their island language & culture than full blooded ones.
I guess it's fair to say that this is true
DudeSerious777 Not really true. Opinions aren't facts tho. Yes Tahiti is a melting pot, but so is Polynesia n general. It's like you are saying that if you are not full blooded/pure you are less. Yes many Tahitians are mixed with Chinese or European blood due to being under France, and having a fair share of Chinese immigrants, but as a hairdresser I can tell you that genetics are a lottery. You never know what you get. Sometimes certain traits skip a generation or two. No one is 100% pure. We are all human. BUT if you wanna talk ancestry, I hope you are aware that it has been proven a long time ago by DNA, animals and plants as well as humans, and linguistic studies that the ancestors of the Polynesians migrated from main land Asia. We are all one. Just devided by colonial brainwash, racism, and ignorance as well as religion and politics.
Western Samoan are not pure Polynesian not like Fijian and Tongan and American Samoan we are bigger and stronger. Alot of them have fked their dna
Ughm Fiji Tonga and American Samoa has their share of mixed European and Asian blood in them! I know many Samoans from the independent state that are pure blood. Yet Samoa 🇼🇸 too does have German and Chinese mixtures within families per day.
I need more of these Polynesian hair videos
Tahitian and Cook Island girls have beautiful hair
It's amazing to dance with those big head pieces and they do not fall off. Beautiful dance and culture.
Respect....Islands culture is strong and alive. Big up from PR....
Beautiful art, people, and culture. I remember being introduced to the Island culture, especially to the Haka, when I was first starting college. A native New Zealand woman thought that I was a Pacific Islander because I was pretty brown for an Asian lol I was like woman please, I definitely lack in the height department hahahaha but my people are from the inlands/Mountains of Asia and around the equator, that probably explains my complexion but because of American nutrition, sports, and little bit of neanderthal DNA ;P I had a different physique than many other Asians then.
+kayemen415 they look nothing like each other
steve boy they’re all Asian people now so it don’t matter!
Southeast asians can pass for pacific islanders cuz of there brown skin but the difference is pacific islanders are tall and really build in muscles mass
@@steveboy7302 some do...I get mistaken for filipino all the time and I'm half hawaiian half danish...my son always gets mistaken for fillipino too.
Beautiful to Powerful. Enjoyed this piece. Malo soifua!
The music was so beautiful
It's makes me so sad being half Micronesian and not having that beautiful fluffy hair.
Micronesians have the same hair has polynesians straite fluffy and even afro
Ayee an islander ARMY 🤙🏽💜
@@micronesianculture6701
Afro and "fluffy" are the original hair textures for those people. Mixing so hard with Japanese watered yall down without a doubt
From Micronesia (PNI) and I have a straight long hair🌿.... Also I'm an army💜
Tonagn/🇼🇸❤The music &song background is breezy🙌 first and second song any1? Miss island life
Sometimes words cannot explain. So actions through body movement tells stories of history and drama.
I am hawaiian Asian and love my poly men 💕🇦🇸🇹🇴🇳🇿🇫🇯🇵🇫🇼🇸
God! I love this video. Very well done 👏
Simply, beautiful.
Love from Los Angeles, CA. U.S.A.
These is absolutely beautiful!
🌺Natural island Beauty is Beautiful 🌺👌💗
Poly Woman are so beautiful 😍
Love it. Love 💕 you
Cool moves and techniques
In my next live i want to be a Polynesian Islander!
I WOULD LOVE TO MARRIED A POLYNESIAN GIRL..
IM LATIN AMERICAN, BUT SINCE I DATED AN SAMOAN GIRL IFELL IN LOVE WITH POLYNESIANS GIRLS AND THE CULTURE AS WELL.
Samoans are not Polynesians , they are Mélanesians ( blacks ) . Only Tahitians and Hawîans are .
@@esthergomis8864 Samoans are Polynesian, so are Tongans, Niueans and Cook islands. Dont know where you are getting your info from? Melanesians are Papua New guinea, Vanuatu, Solomon islands and Fiji.
Paradise 😎
I wish I had enough hair like before. Beautiful!
Thats totally true lol in Micronesia both guy & gurls preffer big bushy but very long hair. & Mostly every Micronesian have that type of hair. I too have a very big hair lol & I'm a guy ahaha & wen I say big long hair I mean the hair covers the whole back of the body or the body entirely ! Ahaha
Fancy Nika Hafa Adai, on Guahan it’s tradition for the females to grow out their hair as well
that fijian contestants face when lady explaining the headdress 'that weapon, cracks your skull, that one chokes you, that one slice you, that one for eating brain' lmao
oh beautiful pacific island and god pless girl all of us so are beautiful
What an amazing people. I see the reflection of God in them.
They had such BEAUTIFUL culture and beliefs BEFORE the Europeans came to their island in the late 1700s. That is also learned of Tatoos in Tahiti..you were considered of lower status if you did not have Tattoos.
Island girls do it best 🤙🤙🤙
The standard of beauty in the pacific is the hair, the longer it is the beautiful you are, haha that what my mom used to remind me, i can get grounded when cut my hair even only at the very end lol
I never knew that about the South Pacific culture, boy is their hair long. I bet their arms get tired if they wish to braid it. I know from Experience, I had long hair as a girl. Their hair is beautiful.
They make it seem as if there are no 6ft 6in 320lb solid Dwayne Johnson big brothers youd have to fight just to date one. You have to be super sneaky for the super freaky.
Proud to be Micronesian ☺☺
This take my heart home 💜
I'm a micronesian girl so ❤
It's Vicky here,the Ancient believe that our Hair is our Crowning-Glory, well it sounds cool n a bit weird, but I truthfully agreed to it too.
The Bible says something similar about a woman's hair being her glory
Hated my long hair..but my dad wouldn't let me cut it 😩 chopped it once I left home and have very short hair since
Island girls don’t mess around when it comes to our hair
:) I am proud to be dominican and samoan
Id be proud too thats a cool mix...👍
This was lovely!!
Our Pacific Islanders food and tradition are 2 sexxy, not forgeting to mention the Girls 2 😍😍
I love Pacific
Why can you please specify
I cant breath... I need one of those ladies to give me CPR. HURRY IM DYING😂😂.
Mahalo nui loa...
She's not trying to sound stupid and shallow saying bushy hair, "They seem to be proud of that." and "The girl with the shorter hair would be out."
tyson she’s trying to say these girls are pretending to be something they’re not and that’s Polynesian!
Beautiful
Truly paradise!
TAHITIAN Women have the best hair for dance coz it's bushy long and THICK!!! #Authentic REAL Island hair for culture
Beautifull
I miss my Samoan adopted family due to distance 🌺 💓

Tahitian, Cookie and Maori girls have beautiful long hair love it
To be honest I think some of our cultures traditions are not as sacred as they were in the old days
Pretty hair pretty women. Wow
