There's a NEED for more ✨unlikable black female✨ characters

HI FRIENDS!! In today's video, I'll discuss how black women's portrayal in media has always fallen flat. Black female characters were often portrayed as stereotypes or side characters to guide the main character. Black women weren't allowed to be multidimensional characters who faced trials, who were flawed and despite their struggles, they still had happy endings. So let's talk about it! Previ...

I just discovered your channel and I just started reading Giovanni's room, i am super excited to get back to this video once I'm done reading the novel so as to not get any spoilers but I'm so looking forward to see what else you put out🤩
Aww your comment made my day!! Go finish the book, the video can wait lol
It was always here it never left Most not AA Women left It just like Jesus don't walk away from us we walk away from him keep preaching my young sister beautiful
The no shampoo, cowash only, no grease. You speaking to the journey yes 😢 we've come so far
I Loved Jasmine Guy As Whitley Gilbert Wayne,When Dewayne Took Her From Byron At The Wedding,I Was Like YES!!! Whitley Was Bougie, Elitist, Snobby But She Had A Heart,And I Liked Her And Kimberly Reese's Friendship And How Her Character Evolved!!! Byron Was So Broken He Became The Sinister Papa Eli/Rowan Pope On Scandal, LOL!!! 😆😂🤣
I forgot all about that on Scandal!! Good point lol
These celebs want us to fund their lifestyles.
I love Rihanna, I don't love beyonce.... I'm not buying any of their haircare. It's so clear this is a cash grab. I no longer trust celebrities with their products. I trust companies that have been doing this for a while.
Black female character: *screams and verbally abuse her grown child for minor inconveniences* Same character: *falls asleep next to the dinner she made while waiting for her grown child out partying with friends* I don't get why some people cannot believe a character can do both bad and good stuff like my example above.
Are these characters actually unlikable or are they just complex?
HI!! Yeah that’s the point I was just trying to get across. A lot of characters are seen as unlikable because they are women. There’s some history behind it. However in reality they are complex characters.
Well, it is hot.
..outside.
I’m over here looking around for my cat like he needs something. He is asleep on the other side of the house! I didn’t realize till the end of the video it was coming from the speakers. Lololol
7:18 your point is the exact reason why I do not buy their products. I see this as an opportunity to change industries. Maybe something is happening with their industry behind-the-scenes that we do not know the details yet. I’m OK with people changing industries, that doesn’t bother me. However, I buy healthcare, haircare, and skincare products from people who have invested time and experience into the education and the application of the education connected to that industry. If you have been acting or in the music industry for 20 years, then I may, depending on the moral standing and the message, I may consume your content for 5 minutes or one hour or two hours and then you’re out of my life. Leave the chemicals to the chemist. Leave the details of the math and the science to the stem people not the artist.
The hate they are getting for their hair care lines is weird. P&G can buy up all the natural hair lines and sell watered down products for black women but we are hypercritical of black celebs? I get it but still Tracee Ellis has always been about her hair and so has Taraj so it makes sense. Rhianna like many black women I know experiments with her hair so her line also adds up.
Right??
It’s just profit to be made. Celebrities just want to come out with products to make money off of.
I have been natural my whole life and keep my care simple. Even have a channel, but barely post now because of the phenom. I kept my stuff simple and taught the science of hair with a busyblifestyle.
You’re so pretty ❤
Aww thank you!!🫶🏾
This video was on point from the dos and donts to the celebrities
I don’t know why you think there were not many natural hair brands a few years ago. I could see if you said 15 years ago. Even some traditionally relaxer brands like Dark and Lovely, Mizani and African Pride out out natural lines. Not to mention Taliah Waajid, Alikay Naturals, Uncle Funky’s Daughter, Obia, Bask and Bloom, Afroveda, Keraveda, Mane Choice, Hair Rules, Mielle Organics, Kinky Curly, Beautiful Curls, Karen’s Body Beautiful, Oyin, Design Essentials, Curls and countless others. I also know some that went out of business like MopTop Maven. I liked that leave in.
Tracy Ellis is the ONLY one who has always been natural. She is the only one I am buying from!
YESSSSS I was thinking the same thinggg
Think for a minute about how silly and frankly self hating that sounds "natural hair is trending" It is the hair that grows organically from your head, not a fashion trend. Imagine saying not bleaching your skin, because brown skin is trending now.
The natural hair movement in the 50s was about embracing your beauty and fighting the white washing society expectations. The movement i the early 2000s was the same. Now it’s about gate keeping and selling products
Also now it’s about what the media is pushing. In the 90s and 2000s you had the video girls and now you have IG baddies and those looks don’t push natural hair. It also has to do with what and who your surround yourself with. There are plenty of community spaces where natural Hair never went in and out of style because it was their life style. If you allow your social media algorithm to show you perms and weaves that’s what it will continue to show you
They want us to be product junkies, I’m trying to stop buying so much 😵💫
The natural hair is actually worth 2.5 BILLION dollars, and everyone wants a piece of that!
Natural hair been in. People are mad late to the party.
Less is more with natural hair.
Rihanna is playing the heck out of black women that romanticize “exoticals” because Rihanna never shows her real hair and just so happen to show it when she’s selling a hair care line. Her hair was clearly recently big chopped because it was DAMAGED; which means her products don’t even work on her. She showed her hair for 2 mins and slapped a weave back on. At least Beyoncé has long hair. Bey could actually finesse and say her products work.
How do you know that Rihanna cut her hair BECAUSE it was damaged? Countless women have her exact same hairstyle who DON'T have damaged hair.
At first I was thinking it was some hater sh.. But honestly it seems to be true, all I see online and through word of mouth is that Cecred is amazing, from different textures. I can't see the same for Fenty and that video was a wig.
@@TomikaKelly I mean, I remember reading an interview of Rihanna's stylist and Ri literally said "I need a relaxer" so I don't think she's as into natural hair as a product line suggest. But I also don't think all the backlash is necessary. I just don't bother buying overpriced celebrity lines that are nothing new on the market. Let those that wanna buy her products do so and move on if you don't is my motto.
@@no.6377she never said she was into natural hair. She hasn’t even said this line is for natural hair. Y’all projecting your insecurities onto her.
I don’t see how anyone who has followed Ri’s career has never seen her real hair. She’s actually had some iconic hair cuts at different points. Also I have seen pictures of her on the street included in magazines that were not publicity photos where she wore her real hair. I have seen photos of her wearing her real hair curly.
Once I saw Riri wearing her natural hair I said aww ish Natural hair is bout to make a comeback. I was natural for 8 years and I've been locs now for 5 years. I am grateful for this journey. As soon I did my big chop I started going thru an awakening
I don’t follow celebrities. Most don’t have as much hair as I have. I grew up during the 60s and 70s. Our regime was simple: cleanse, condition, detangle and use of hair grease to condition and style our natural hair. I still use the same regime and my hair grows past my butt. Today, “Natural Hair” followers are doing way toooo much!!! The “Old School” regime is tried and true over many, many decades long before what’s called “The Natural Hair Movement.” Hell . . . It’s not a movement . . . It has always been here!!!
Please tell me your routine/the brand of grease or product you use! I used to remember as a kid, but did braids for teenage life and forgot how :/ Im currently in natural again for a few years and love it. Would love any tips!
Facts! I'm going back to keeping it simple and I love that it saves me time.
What style do you keep your hair in most often to see growth?
@@no.6377 Without extensions: 2 strand twists and braids.
@@Peresphone Glad too! Be sure to keep your scalp clean. I shampoo at least once a week. I live in a very day climate so I must drench my hair at least every other day. I drench my hair in the shower with water and apply conditioner while in the shower. And detangle using using my fingers. Be certain to use plenty of conditioner so your fingers glide through your hair. You will be able to feel the tangles and gently pull them apart. Clip hair up and I complete my shower. Then rinse hair leaving a little bit of conditioner in hair. Apply a leave in while hair is wet. Apply a thin coat of oil focusing on the ends. I have type 3C-4A hair. I style while hair is damp. I oil my scalp and message. I use Camille Rose products the Signature collection. I also use hair grease; Sunny Isles Rosemary mint products.
Pattern and TPH brands are pretty good!!
These celebs are only advertising a certain type of natural hair too So our of touch
I have locs and everyone in the loc community on UA-cam is selling their own hair growth oil 🙄 it’s exhausting
The loc naturals are selling hair oil too? 😂
Because people are struggling, I don’t see the problem. One income isn’t enough anymore
Been natural for 10 years and I do what I want. Also a hooded dryer changed the game for me! Only thing is I’ve never been at waist length been stuck at mid back but other than that I love it here!
Hi 👋🏾 I’ve been natural for 10 years too. If you hair is ever “stuck” at a certain length make a hair plan based around mini twists, flat twists, braids, crochet. Every few months put in a hairstyle where you can moisturize your hair without detangling often treat it as if it’s locs.
@@royaltroot1014 okay thank you for this as I’ve never tried this before! Time for change!
I dont trust nor will purchase from anyone who doesnt already wear their hair natural....And are only wearing it out for promotions...next! It seems natural hair or any form of curly hair , is profitable. I dont want to hear it.
I’m liking this new era of the natural hair where we’re reclaiming the type 4 hair spotlight, while these celebrities are catering to “every type of curl” because our natural hair movement inspired everybody even white women to embrace their curl. I don’t care about their ish.
I still use Blue Magic hair grease and CurlMax for moisture, that works for me
I am a reformed product junky. I will never go back. Natural hair does not have to be expensive nor does it require 5+ products from everyone’s line.
Natural hair is so simple! I realize it only requires 5 products as well. I’m easing from being a product junky. To maintaining my hair with natural things. Like oils and butters. I still have 30 products at home. That need to be used first sigh😅. I was just an impulsive buyer. Testing out what could work well in my hair! At least I have two years or more worth hair products lol! They last so long, since I’m just one person!
Same! I wash my hair once or twice a week and have a few styling options depending on how much time I want to spend on it. I used to think spending so much time on curly hair forums in the late 2000s made me a product junkie, but I think it's the opposite now. I know what my hair likes. I know what my hair can handle. At this point, I can use a very wide variety of products and get a pretty consistent result based on technique alone. But even if all that fails... the bun is there for me 😂
natural hair and ''trending'' shouldn't even be in the same sentence
Keep the content coming🔥🔥
The celebs are late tho
Very
For Tracee not really. She planned her brand for a long time. And she was on blackish and actually cares about black hair.
For real, more like supa lateee
They probably only doing it because it's a trend to have natural hair
Gabrielle Union tried to push her haircare line years ago. I saw it in Sally’s. It didn’t do well so I think she recently tried to relaunch.
The pretty privilege video inspired me to go back to natural hairstyles. Also, the natural hair community is a whole lot less complicated now. They used to have videos with 6hr wash days. 😂 And I think a lot of people got locs for hair retention but they didn’t want to admit it because the loc community can be toxic. Notice how they are all taking out their locs, not chops or cuts
I used to think it was literally a wash and go. Not wash and wait for the whole day for my hair to dry😭 and not the loc community being toxic whew
@@yupthatsgabby The truth hurts 😂🤣I wanted locs for a minute then I saw all the UA-camrs acting like I gotta sell my soul to get them.😭
I have locs for hair retention AND simplicity. I don’t get why it’s so hard for everyone, I wash once a week, add a leave in and steam for an hour. I think we need a larger conversation on why we think everything needs to be so complicated.
Exactly things are simplified now because for me for example I’m done with the multiple products I went back to leave in and blue magic grease and a gel depending how I style my hair. I’ll use up what I have but I won’t be spending money on expensive brand creams that dry out my hair.
@@christines1821 Right! People don’t have the money to spend on expensive products. However my hair looks with $12 shampoo and conditioner is what the world’s gonna get 😂🤣
These folks way too influence-able. Natural hair never fell out of "style" for the real girlies.
Facts. Less is always better in my opinion
Exactly
This🎯🎯🎯 it’s just simply how the hair grows out my head
@@christines1821 this!!!
THISSSS 😂 because I have been wearing my natural tresses for about 7 years and counting 🙂↔️ some ppl are very trend driven 🙄
I've definitely noticed natural hair is trending again and I'm here for it. I just hope we don't go down the same route of everyone pushing Blueberry Bliss products or whatever new BS product they come out with. W video <3
I’m here for it too! As long as they chill on the products.. it’s too much going on in this economy lol
@@yupthatsgabbyI think they have lol. The UA-camrs I follow now have quick routines with affordable products. But as soon as I see “sponsored” or hear “your hair is an investment” I run. I’m traumatized at this point 😂
this is so funny bc i literally just got the blueberry bliss line and im watching this about to wash my hair and apply those products 😭🩷
The Blueberry Bliss edge control is still essential lol
@WilliamsPinch don’t worry I still have my TGIN products without any shame
I see you! Growing a channel is tough at first but consistency will get you where you want to be 🤍
THANK YOU!!🥺 I’m trying 🫶🏾
