@@demekonrn It is VERY disturbing. I really had to sit with myself and ask why I felt upset at someone else cutting their OWN hair. it’s very weird no matter which way you look at it.

@@mischaraine1645 Lol Yes I agree !! Although I can speak from both sides of the fence as a teen that grew up “stanning” celebs. As an adult i see how that’s weird but i remember standing TEN TOES behind ppl that wouldn’t look twice in my direction 🤣💀

Thanks for taking time to watch 🥰

@@cctv318 Your welcome!😊

@@msgates2596 fair point 🤣 everyone’s hair is diff.

@@stripp1219 when you frame it like that it’s even worse 😭😭 we were babies

Yes a lot of this stems from parents seeing their kids as property. It’s really sad esp cuz that’s a “cultural norm” :/

@@BlueSmokie 😭😭 I’m sorry sorry you’ve had permanent damage from the chemicals. I’m so glad you’re still able to loc up but maybe a dermatologist can address any underlying issues stunting growth. 🫶🏾🫶🏾✨

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

@@mahlatseodette3317 😭😭 that’s so upsetting !! why on earth would braid require a whole relaxer. Ur poor lil scalp

​@@cctv318thats the common step for braids, sadly!

@@ChocolateBabe_ you’re more than welcome to talk about whatever you want on your own channel 🫶🏾✨

@@cctv318I’m talking about in response to the ppl in the first Reddit. It is villainizing the 10%. Every black person didn’t grow up with a traumatizing hair experience. Some ppl can actually change their hair and it’s not anything more than just hair. Black women are the only group of of women who ties their worth to their hair. And it’s understandable but it’s still sad all the same.

@@ChocolateBabe_ ah, then my fault for being defensive :( i should’ve wiped the crust outta my eyes b4 responding

@@HerGloryHairCare1 thank you for watching ✨

@@Erraaaaaa thank you for watching 🫶🏾 I actually don’t do slick back styles or ponytails anymore! I’m on a journey of wearing my hair down in a ‘fro to heal my crown section breakage.

@cctv318 that's fine 👍❤️

@@timif5072 it’s TIRING 😩 we just wanna enjoy being natural

@@IMITZU I totally see your point on the price difference of maintaining natural vs stretched depending on your wash schedule. I know i go through a good amount of product. I also think the convo can be redundant but I did choose that story because it even made me do a double take (as a curly/coily natural who mostly stays on the coily side of the community)

@@Hairbytyra.s I love this advice because there’s nothing wrong with wanting to stretch or see your length imo !! But I love to promote healthy hair so this is a perfect example. Happy Holidays ❄️

@@cctv318 the aesthetic of blowouts are alright, but it’s the benefits (for some) that makes me such an advocate for them (if your hair/scalp is healthy enough of course) . Three strands twist were the closest I was getting to a wash n go and even then, I still struggled with single-strand knots a bit. I wish I could wear my hair in its curly state sometimes without the worry of single-strand knots. I do everything I can to prevent it from happening, there’s not 100% percent way to avoid it but, keeping it stretched is pretty dang close 😂😂😂😂.

@@Hairbytyra.s period that’s so valid !! I love a good blow out moment. There’s no wrong answer if it’s what your hair wants imo 🙌🏾

Same, I also I can’t see when my ends are split when it’s curly all the time. Ironically I end up with more damaged hair when I only wear it in natural curls. I don’t think there is anything wrong with switching it up sometimes. There is beauty in our hair’s versatility.

@@krh6239 Yes! from your perspective i’m sure you’ve seen the same recycled conversations being rehashed on different platforms. i’m glad you spoke on that bc we should be working to break these issues down for the next gen!! I agree that within the community we should just allow our hair to just be.

@@niabrionne I think by wake up and shake they meant take off your bonnet and shape/ fluff. basically meaning styling shouldn’t take forever bc afros are a simple and easy hairstyle!

@@cctv318 Afros are deceptive symple. It depends on the curl type, how you prepped your hair before bed, and the type of afro. I've got long, thick 4C hair. If I am wearing a twist-out afro (a very fluffy twist-out), I can get away with that. But if I am wearing a proper picked out afro, that's a tie investment. I gotta take the time to pick it out and reshape it on top of periodically reshaping it throughout the day because it's so big. Ironically, it's a high manipulation style. Now, if you have a TWA, to or your hair isn't as thick, you might be able to get away with that. Same if you aren't a 4C girlie. Every head is unique.

Exactly. But to the colonized mind any manipulation to the hair is some form of self hate when it’s just hygiene and personal preference.

@@PenumbraInsights i feel u. I’ve been seeing a lot of discourse on curly naturals “divesting”. i might do a deeper dive

Because a lot of ppl are doing things that work against the hair health and others blindly follow them just to end up in the same spot. I might follow a girl with long hair n stop blow drying my hair cuz she said so. Her hair is long BUT IS IT HEALTHY THO ?!?! That’s the thing.

@@joyceg7859 this same question can also be applied to curly naturals though. Just because someone doesn’t apply heat doesn’t mean that they are properly caring for their hair. Because again, curly hair is actually higher maintenance to maintain health due to the shape of the hair not allowing natural oils to travel down the shaft, people not moisturizing according to hair porosity, dye, etc. the problem you’re alluding to boils down to people taking influencer advice over that of professionals in the field.

⁠@@PenumbraInsightsI like this take. I actually like both of y’all’s points and I think they’re both correct. I know ppl (including myself ) can form perisocial relationships with people’s hair and use that to follow their routine (whether curly or straight) whole time we don’t know what their hair is really like. Bc that relationship I think we tend to take it personally seeing girls go from curly to straight. Does the responsibility lie on the creator or the consumer? Maybe both sides take blame ?

@ correct. Most ppl try to do hacks rather than ever thinking to see a professional especially if the person they are watching has the desired or admired result.

@@SummiIce yesss I keep hearing the heat trained vs straight. i might do a deeper dive bc i always assumed they were the same !!

@@cctv318 Heat training is systemically heat damaging you hair so it stays straight without frizzing. Straightening your hair doesn't necessarily include damaging your hair. For example, you can get a silk press, but it will revert once it gets wet. Heat damaged hair can't revert.

@@krh6239 thank you for this!! you’re the only person to ever actually make that make sense to me. I assumed to be a straight natural you have to starting heat training journey… but now i think you can keep your hair fairly stretched/straight without completely damaging your pattern. I’m gonna do more research cuz now i’m interested lol.

@@cctv318 No problem. I'm read up on the science behind hair. Once you understand, even the most "unruly" hair is easy to manage. Also, fun fact. The hair typing we often use isn't scientifically based. It was made by a black man to sell hair products in the 90s. 4C wasn't even part of the original line up. If you really want to go down a rabbit hole, look into the history of black hair. It will fundamentally change your life and understanding of the natural hair community.

@@krh6239 Yes! I do know a tiny bit about the bogus typing system and the tignon laws of Louisiana. I’d love to do a deep dive right in time for BHM 🫶🏾
