They are probably bald headed. Your hair is healthy. I get the same thing with my teeny weeny afro. I am always hit with the wavy texture comments. I am always told that I need to grow my hair out. The people saying this are weave queens.
I've only seen this at religious schools , and the rules are there , because religious schools have rules , parents are supposed to learn the rules and follow them . they always complain when a Christian school kicks there kid out and refuses to give a refund. I've never heard this from a public school. If people don't like the rules , then send your kids to public schools.

@@bradleywhitlatch552 As an African American woman, yes I have. I have experienced it and I have witnessed it. NEWS FLASH: Just because YOU have never witnessed something personally doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I worked for a company that forced an employee to take theor braids out because it "wasn't professional." This is what this entire thing is about - telling someone that a natural hairstyle is not acceptable. Again, this will never happen to YOU because your hair texture & styles set the standard for what black people's "acceptable" hair "should" look like.
Our hair styles go back centuries. Different hair styles would depict if you were married, your status etc. We have a right to wear our hair anyway we want.
Yes it does happen in many places. Not only for African protective styles but for our natural type four hair. There are many events where white people have cut off and humiliated black students because of their kinky Afro hair. Suspended students because they didn’t have straight, wavy or loose curly hair. There’s even a guy who was told he wasn’t aloud to graduate until he removed his locs in Barbers Hill High School. And in jobs it happens countless of times. That’s why there is a law put in place in some states called the crown act (this video.) But it’s only in 14/50 of the states meaning THIS is legal in 36 states.
For me, it wasn't school or my jobs, it was my Hispanic mother. She hated seeing my natural curly hair flow free. She always put my hair in ponytails or braids...anything to tame it. To this day, she tells me to go comb my hair or to "fix it" whenever I visit. I love my natural curls even though it took a long time to embrace it.
the way people treat poc just because of the way they style their hair is disgusting. braiding your hair is not harmful to anyone around you, in fact, it's not harmful to anything at all. if people want to let the way you look define you, they need to work on being a better person. let people look the way they want without being treated differently! it's the 21st century, for crying out loud!!
these people have such a limited egotistical world view, it’s pathetic. “if you’ve had bad experiences growing up and it doesn’t fit my version then it’s obviously fake. only my personal experiences are valid, no one else’s!”
For those confused about hair discrimination let me lead with this: Jenkins v. Blue Cross Mutual Hospital Insurance This is the first US court case from 1976. Do some more digging and you’ll find hundreds of cases and lawsuits that have been filed by blacks… employers, schools, etc discriminating against natural hairstyles to include Afros, Locs, braids, etc.
I am an African American Male and I have as they say "good hair". However, my family is very diverse as well as my friends and I have seen hair discrimination occur. Honestly I have never heard it bluntly stated as it was in this video. However, I have seen difference of treatment in the classroom settings and I have bluntly heard comments when applying for jobs. Most of the comments about black hair as children were made subtly because no one wants to be labled with a derogatory comment. Obvious hair discrimination is even still present in the military's UCMJ. Even if you haven't personally noticed it does not take away from the fact that this definately still happens.
I’m sorry but as a former military member there is no hair discrimination everyone is required by the articles within the military code to have the same haircut and to be clean shaven and if a prospective employer has certain regulation in their manual on hair cuts and styles that’s also not discrimination that is to make sure everyone looks professional
You should be aware that the "good hair"/"bad hair", "light skinned"/"dark skinned", etc, etc, stuff is completely an internal black thing. The external society is not ranking blacks on the basis of their skin tone, hair texture, etc, etc. No one's every heard of such a thing until they encounter these black story time accounts of it. Don't put this crap at the feet of the larger society. It's your internal problem if you're playing games with your own people over this stuff. Take it up with them. Don't try to pretend "Whitey" is some kind of villain masterminding this crap. Whitey does not care about you. Whitey is not ranking you against each other. Whitey has his own life and his own family to provide for an his own problems and concerns. There's this great fantasy among bIacks that everything that happens revolves around you. Not even close. Honestly: No one cares. Stop being so needy and demanding to be the center of attention and have somebody take care of you and pat you on the head (whoops, sorry, forgot, that would involve "touching your hair!") and fixing all your boo-boos. If anything is going to be fixed for you, YOU are going to have to do the fixing. And you're not going to accomplish that by commandeering other people's stuff (money, attention, prioritization, etc)
Military is different. Everyone has to abide by the regulations. But I think this is why black women should not join. too many restrictions on our hair.
I see people here talking from their own bubble experience here, just look into the 2022 news about braids being not allowed in schools across the country, your own experience is not representative of the whole, be more compassionate.
This is exactly why cultural appropriation is important, because for years they wouldn’t let us wear our culture but now other people are doing it and being told nothing.
@@diamondmarie9490 Beau Brummell invented the modern suit. That's a western clothing style. Baseball caps?

First I want to say that it is so ridiculous how people act towards a child/teen/adult with braids. Their hair is clean, kept out of their face and tidy. I would rather see this than a child with dirty wild tangled hair all over the place. Second -the first part of the commercial with the little girl putting bows and barrettes on dads hair made me smile, reminded me of when I was that age and I wanted to play hair salon with my dad. And the poor man would have 20 plastic barrettes all over his head :) fast forward 35 years - and now my dad is bald lol :) thank you for rekindling those memories :)
I’m at white girl and I know that black girls have a lot of people hating on them for there skin color or how they decide to style their hair. I’ve always loved how talented black girls are doing there hair. I love how they look and all the colors and different type of styles they can do!!
I haven't personally experienced this tho I've heard mean things about how my natural hair looks but children being sent home is just plain ridiculous !! How do I do more to support this ??
As a white person I gotta ask what is wrong with braids in the hair I think they look cute I could never pull off that look but its not like the style is obnoxious or anything I think the braids look so pretty and her hair doesn't look messy or anything it actually looks clean and well kept
I am absolutely happy to sign the petition. I've never seen/heard of this happening - seems so highly & obviously unacceptable to me, but that doesn't mean it doesn't ever happen. I'll do whatever I can to help.
For anyone who is confused why this is such a big deal, look up Tignon Law. In short, this was a law that targeted African American women back in the day, before this law was put into place most women of color shaped their hair into beautiful styles and usually adorned them with beads and jewels. These large displays of beauty caught the attention of onlooking white men who saw this display as attractive. White women began to experience this shift in interest and attraction from them to black women so with enough outcry from white women, the law was put into place forcing black women to wear scarves on their heads to cover up their hair to shame them. For the time being this did work until black women decided to start styling their scarves just how they would with their natural hair, these decorated, extravagant headscarves eventually turn into the huge over the top hats most older black women adorn in church. Even though black women found a solution to the unfair law, this did not stop the external pressures of white society on how hair is supposed to look like. For those of you who decided to read all the way through or look it up to educate yourselves on this topic, thank you. You are the change we like see in the world. 😊
How can this still be a thing? I knew about Tignon law after learning what it was in high school, but again. How is this still happening in an age where we're encouraged to be ourselves? I had to research the basis of this video after seeing it on a UA-cam ad because I was confused on what "hair policy" that teacher was talking about. I never heard that before in my life! That little girl had a hair style I've seen on children since as far back as I can remember back to the 70s when I was her age and it's still popular today and beautiful.
@@The88Cheat Yes. And the Spanish is question (Esteban Rodriguez Miró) was the Governor of New Orleans, Louisiana. And guess who voted that man into office to make that law (which was actually a law at that time, it was not a taboo)? White men. And yes, I’m citing that into today’s common knowledge because as far as I’m aware we’re still using a 250 year old document written by white men who owned slaves, to run a country.
@@TBX2 Nobody voted for that dude. He was appointed by Royal Spanish officials. So not only did no one vote for him, he wasn't even American and Louisiana wasn't part of the US at that time.
I still remember my brother being told by the school administration to shave his hair when he had a frohawk because they said it's distracting and goes against school policy. Pretty much it is a style where you fade the sides of your hair and leave length at the top. It is a well known style in the black community, and the top of my brothers hair was at most 2 inches tall. Its sad because the school saw nothing wrong with their white students walking around with Justin Bieber bangs with shaved sides or highlights. Black hair does not fit in the mold of straighter hair textures. So stop trying to make it do so.
This is actually happening in America but the crown act doesn't help at all. Honestly this is propaganda which doesn't help us. There was a kid in Pennsylvania who couldn't attend a school because of his hair and still the crown act didnt help him. So y'all can have them at trash. If your feeling so sad give my people reparations so we don't have to attend your schools! 😡😡😡
Please include audio-description so that the powerful visuals and storytelling are inclusive. I am describing this to friends and colleagues who are blind and Deafblind that cannot take in the full intent of your messaging.
I seen this on a survey that I did online. I was like, this is races. I heard it's like this in work places too. I didn't see all the commercial on the survey, cause they only showed a little. But now seeing all of it on here. I'm inspired that this little girl fighter for her hair. Then it showed her as a grown woman, standing strong. That's cool. 💚🙏💛🤗💕
I done hair from age 17 and yes I have seen these injustices based on hair on all different types of hair as well humans . Yes it is in the schools as well work places I been a owner of businesses since age of 20. I am now a senior I agree no person of any type or texture of hair should have been a target and yes I FOUGHT THESE ISSUES MY WHOLE LIFE AGAINST IGNORANCE. We all deserve our own changes as well growing in this life free from ( so called society says is proper nor do they have that right )my own daughter was a teacher and I watched her paint to cover a tattoo she put on her ankle because they did not allow society says yes I expressed to her I thanked GOD the day she left teaching I did not raise her for a system . Fact They have to grow I let her... I have expressed to many parents always protect your children I did mine as well many others ...
It's sad that every black girl has to fight to love herself. It creates an unshakable confidence, which is why black girls are not only beautiful but strong, but it shouldn't be necessary.
We’re not strong. We’re women, and we’re beautiful.. but we are not collectively strong, nor do I want the world believing that. sometimes we are , sometimes we aren’t .. sometimes it’s okay to be weak , or be fragile. Please stop pushing that. Having to be “Strong” all the time isn’t healthy
@@manifestedpowerz1875 you can be a woman and be strong, there’s nothing wrong with being strong. Idk how you think being weak is any better.. I know how it feels for ppl to use how strong you are as a way to excuse others to discriminate because black women can “handle” it but that doesn’t mean I’m going to say I’m weak 🤣 speak for yourself
It’s sad that you saw a commercial and made a statement about every black girl based on it. Lots of us are out here trying to be seen as individuals but we have people still judging us and making assumptions about our experience because off our skin color.
Literally unless you have some crazy symbol cut into your hair or died that represents something hateful I cannot understand how any kind of hair be it braided, frizzy, straight, blue, pink, bald, dreds, etc. is offensive. It is just hair people! I love this video. The more awareness the better.
When I saw this commercial they only showed a clip and I was horrified so I googled this I can't believe the a 5 year old would be told you can't come to school because of your hair I mean I guess I can because of the world we live in stay strong God bless you for fighting your hair is beautiful you are beautiful
Thank-you so much for this initiative! This has happened to me my entire life and finally someone has stepped up and resolved to put an end to this discrimination.
We are supposed to be promoting healthy self esteem. Schools are trying to take too many decisions away from the parents. What an awful thing for anyone to experience. I’m so glad Dove has brought this initiative forward. No one should be told they can’t come to school or anywhere else because of how they choose to wear or style their hair.
Absurd we have to fit what they think is acceptable. What about y’all showing up with messy buns? And as soon as we have our natural hair as it is y’all want to touch it and etc.
Even with my dreadlocks, black women ask me why don't I get rid of them. Insane...
Pay them no mind queen. They don’t love themselves and that’s completely out of your control. Wish them the best and keep moving forward.

I’m white and I in general don’t understand why hairstyle is such a problem in school. It doesn’t effect studying only limits one’s creativity.
What a silly position you have. If your creativity has to be expressed by your hair choice then you’re as shallow as an evaporating puddle

Are you seriously citing a law made by the Spanish in 1786 as evidence that this sort of thing is common now?
It wasn't a law, more taboo. Legally, they didn't have to wear it but it was highly frowned upon if not worn
@@The88Cheat Yes. And the Spanish is question (Esteban Rodriguez Miró) was the Governor of New Orleans, Louisiana. And guess who voted that man into office to make that law (which was actually a law at that time, it was not a taboo)? White men. And yes, I’m citing that into today’s common knowledge because as far as I’m aware we’re still using a 250 year old document written by white men who owned slaves, to run a country.
@@TBX2 Nobody voted for that dude. He was appointed by Royal Spanish officials. So not only did no one vote for him, he wasn't even American and Louisiana wasn't part of the US at that time.
Signed and shared.
In 8th grade I wasn’t allowed to attend school I would be escorted out of class daily because I had curly hair that was longer than 1 1/2 inches
Starts at 2! My daughter is at nursery in London and there have been notes recorded by teachers about her hair.
Give me a break. I call BS
That was very beautiful video 😍❤️❤️
this ad came at the right moment I was thinking about cutting my hair but this ad change my mind.🙂
That’s my school ridgeway
THIS IS SO SAD 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
I still remember my brother being told by the school administration to shave his hair when he had a frohawk because they said it's distracting and goes against school policy. Pretty much it is a style where you fade the sides of your hair and leave length at the top. It is a well known style in the black community, and the top of my brothers hair was at most 2 inches tall. Its sad because the school saw nothing wrong with their white students walking around with Justin Bieber bangs with shaved sides or highlights. Black hair does not fit in the mold of straighter hair textures. So stop trying to make it do so.
we dont care you nappy headed missbehaven children
they are living in a world of fantasy
Thank you dove 💘 let’s not keep living in ignorance.
yea feel good about yourself making whites look bad ha?
This is actually happening in America but the crown act doesn't help at all. Honestly this is propaganda which doesn't help us. There was a kid in Pennsylvania who couldn't attend a school because of his hair and still the crown act didnt help him. So y'all can have them at trash. If your feeling so sad give my people reparations so we don't have to attend your schools! 😡😡😡
How about we don’t give you any money at all? All of this stuff is complete nonsense
Thats sad
Kids are supposed to have funny hair in school
now o later 🕊 commericals

Please include audio-description so that the powerful visuals and storytelling are inclusive. I am describing this to friends and colleagues who are blind and Deafblind that cannot take in the full intent of your messaging.
You are the problem
Wow this hit home.
Great educational ad DOVE. I also like that the girl is referencing her father.
what father? and where was anything of educational value? did we watch the same video?
@@333v4 0:00 this father.
I seen this on a survey that I did online. I was like, this is races. I heard it's like this in work places too. I didn't see all the commercial on the survey, cause they only showed a little. But now seeing all of it on here. I'm inspired that this little girl fighter for her hair. Then it showed her as a grown woman, standing strong. That's cool. 💚🙏💛🤗💕
Nice sarcasm.
That’s not fair👧🏾
Beautiful commercial. Thank you. God Bless.
Dove soapy 🧼 💓 ♥ 💕
I done hair from age 17 and yes I have seen these injustices based on hair on all different types of hair as well humans . Yes it is in the schools as well work places I been a owner of businesses since age of 20. I am now a senior I agree no person of any type or texture of hair should have been a target and yes I FOUGHT THESE ISSUES MY WHOLE LIFE AGAINST IGNORANCE. We all deserve our own changes as well growing in this life free from ( so called society says is proper nor do they have that right )my own daughter was a teacher and I watched her paint to cover a tattoo she put on her ankle because they did not allow society says yes I expressed to her I thanked GOD the day she left teaching I did not raise her for a system . Fact They have to grow I let her... I have expressed to many parents always protect your children I did mine as well many others ...
It's sad that every black girl has to fight to love herself. It creates an unshakable confidence, which is why black girls are not only beautiful but strong, but it shouldn't be necessary.
We’re not strong. We’re women, and we’re beautiful.. but we are not collectively strong, nor do I want the world believing that. sometimes we are , sometimes we aren’t .. sometimes it’s okay to be weak , or be fragile. Please stop pushing that. Having to be “Strong” all the time isn’t healthy
@@manifestedpowerz1875 you can be a woman and be strong, there’s nothing wrong with being strong. Idk how you think being weak is any better.. I know how it feels for ppl to use how strong you are as a way to excuse others to discriminate because black women can “handle” it but that doesn’t mean I’m going to say I’m weak 🤣 speak for yourself
@@manifestedpowerz1875
FYI
Us black women are strong
It’s sad that you saw a commercial and made a statement about every black girl based on it. Lots of us are out here trying to be seen as individuals but we have people still judging us and making assumptions about our experience because off our skin color.
But why she so cute and beautiful with her little braids 🥺 I so sad when I randomly saw the ad
I just saw this ad on another video and had to come here. Powerful message Dove! God bless to those who worked on this ad, so good thank you.
Literally unless you have some crazy symbol cut into your hair or died that represents something hateful I cannot understand how any kind of hair be it braided, frizzy, straight, blue, pink, bald, dreds, etc. is offensive. It is just hair people! I love this video. The more awareness the better.
how can you be aware when you have your head in the sand?
9 knobs of hair sticking out from your head may not be offensive but it certainly makes you look like an idiot
When I saw this commercial they only showed a clip and I was horrified so I googled this I can't believe the a 5 year old would be told you can't come to school because of your hair I mean I guess I can because of the world we live in stay strong God bless you for fighting your hair is beautiful you are beautiful
Thank-you so much for this initiative! This has happened to me my entire life and finally someone has stepped up and resolved to put an end to this discrimination.
Did not expect that commercial to evoke tears..
PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION!!!!!
Heartbreaking . That teacher is evil. Black girl black woman you are LOVED
That teacher is an actor. None of it was real.
Your hair does grow out like a Star Wars character or braids.
Let her feel great about herself.
Right on Dove✊🏿
Love this!!!!!
We are supposed to be promoting healthy self esteem. Schools are trying to take too many decisions away from the parents. What an awful thing for anyone to experience. I’m so glad Dove has brought this initiative forward. No one should be told they can’t come to school or anywhere else because of how they choose to wear or style their hair.
Absurd we have to fit what they think is acceptable. What about y’all showing up with messy buns? And as soon as we have our natural hair as it is y’all want to touch it and etc.
I cried watching this 🥺 very nice video thank you so much❤️
Very nice video" 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
I’m cried at the end of Forrest Gump too. Both great works of fiction.
Thanks Dove!
Very nice thank you dove
