      @Trinity M we aren’t from those areas you are correct there but I hope you realize that all of Sudan which literally translates to “land of the dark people” use to be apart of Egypt which is where the kingdom of Kush was located. Arabs aren’t native to Africa they are invaders. there are lighter skinned Africans known as the Amazigh but they aren’t Arab they are native Africans that is who use to occupy Egypt along with Sudanese people. So being black doesn’t exactly eliminate someone from being Egyptian however they are a different ethnic group then the black ppl taken in the transatlantic slave trade
      Also Egypt isnt the only example of wigs and extensions used in African cultures

I just don't even touch a flat iron anymore cause I'm so closed to mid back length I can't ruin that for me now. Anyway I have high porosity, mid/fine hair (don't get me wrong she's dense tho). It'd be easy as hell to fry. However my brother has low porosity coarse hair that has been pressed 4 times in a row over the span of 3-4 weeks. Not one curl on this boy head loose one but. It was like he had never even pressed in the first place 😂. Thank God his straight hair phase aint last long but God is his hair strong, lol.

    Millennials talk down on the older folks, but they never conducted business like this. Their prices were on the wall. If a relaxer was $35, it was that price REGARDLESS of length. It wasn't anywhere between $55-$85. They actually learned your hair, loved what they did, had knowledge on the body, knew dry hair didn't mean you weren't drinking water necessarily, but disease processes factored in. They just knew what to use to moisturize it.

    Edit: I went back and counted. ELEVEN TIMES 😡😡😡 just holding the hair inside the flat iron and carelessly combing the ends. Smh. Also, the comment about how our hair is strong and can sustain anything caught my attention. The same way she views our hair is the same way the world views us black women. Everyone thinks we are strong and can take anything and that we will never break. Therefore we aren’t treated with tenderness at times because we are expected to “sustain anything”. Our hair needs to be handled gently in order to thrive, and so do we.

    • @hollyholly3172
      @hollyholly3172 Рік тому +28

      I find it ironic how, a lot of these people love touting that “black hair is the strongest” speech as an excuse to treat the hair roughly (don’t forget to mention while also handling fake hair gently.) But then as soon as the natural hair is damaged, they tell you to cut it all off….hair isn’t growing? Cut it off, edges sparse due to wigs? Cut it off, ends looking fried? Shave your whole head, if black hair truly was this or that, (which it can be, don’t get me wrong) then we wouldnt be needing all of these methods for the hair to prosper.
      We’ve got people doing all this damage to the hair then turning around and saying stuff like this confuses me. It should not be used as an excuse to handle the hair roughly with not a care in the world.
      A lot of people’s hair, specifically black hair doesn’t reach its full potential is because they will not leave it alone too. Stop going to these stylists every week who only care about a buck and not about the hair. I get it, people want to switch up their looks and fit into to standards but if you value your hair, you have to be willing to take a step back and not give in to ideals. These silk presses, tight braids, chemically straightening etc every few weeks are not good for the hair. It’s a fiber. You won’t see the damage on the first appointment, but eventually the damage catches up with you. This is why a lot of people see a plateau with their hair growth as well.
      I honestly think the whole “black hair is the strongest” is one of the biggest lies told by the black hair community and it needs to stop.

And the fact it's black women doing this to black women. This is why it's hard to support black businesses sometimes. I went to get my type 4 natural hair done for once in forever, and the lady basically tore my hair out with a comb and I literally left with my hair looking worse than it did when I came in. She admitted that she doesn't get natural hair clients. When I got home I was still finding literally CHUNKS of hair that she had pulled from my scalp. And they still had the nerve to charge me over $100. I officially broke up with salons.

    This is sad. That hairstylist really said “ Our hair can sustain anything”- no, sorry black women are most subject to traction alopecia, CCCA scarring alopecia, and alopecia areata and for decades research was minimally even conducted on us developing these conditions because the assumption always was “this race damages their hair the most via straightening, scalp tension, and chemical relaxers; therefore , it’s their fault for ruining their hair”. I have a hair loss condition from an autoimmune disorder and this whole clash of “natural hair”; “length retention “ and all that saddens me as the community doesn’t seem privy to how rampant black hair loss really is. Scarring alopecia is a silent epidemic among black women and ignorant black hair stylists like the lady in that video perpetuates the ignorance.

She developed a bald spot on her head that was near impossible for her to grow out without the use of medicated shampoo and a hair growth treatment. Her bold spot was completely gone with in a couple of years, fortunately. But people really should be talking more about traction alopecia within Black women, how common it it, and how to treat it.

But almost ALL of my female extended family did & do, on both sides of my family. And almost all of them tend to have issues especially with not understanding why their hair doesn't grow like mine & my sisters when we're in the same family. We have told them for decades it's literally about taking care of the hair & scalp keeping it moisturized, ends protected, and NOT suffocating our heads with fake hair, nor constantly straightening & drying out our real hair either. Majority of black women grew up for decades passing down traditions & styles that are NOT for our hair types.

    I would prefer to pay $300 to African braiders because they are used to handling our REAL diverse textures of hair. Plus I don't have to deal with the unprofessionalism. These new hair stylists are young, hood, and have no clue about how to NURTURE their clients hair. They are just used to throwing weaves and wigs on top of people's heads. I stopped going to hair salons about 8 years ago.

    tip for mini twists i’ve discovered over my months of doing them:
    -braid 3-4 ways down then switch to a twist
    -don’t braid to the bottom of the hair get to your ends and get a little extra moisturizing product (whatever you use/LOC) and and then slightly twist them!

    I used to be a licensed cosmetologist and I did not pursue it because I do not have the patience to do hair. I have had A LOT of women to be upset with me because I have a license but did not want to do hair. They see that I can do MY hair and I do it well. What I've learned is NO one can treat my hair better than me.
    Though I dislike this particular stylist and her approach, I can understand why there are stylist who do this. If you are a busy stylist and your schedule is booked up, then I can understand why there is a need to reschedule. HOWEVER a good stylist will have a consultation. Consultation is there to not only get an idea what the client wants but it is also to check out the client's hair. Time is money and I respect people who respect the time. The more hair you have the longer it takes, It is just facts. It's not your fault that you have a lot of hair but it is just facts. A stylist's time is crucial. One because if a person has a lot of hair or is late it throws the stylist's schedule off and that can actually impede on the next client that she has. It is quite easy to be critical of a stylist when most of us are not a licensed stylist and putting in the work. The amount of stress that a stylist's hands go through is insane. I've known plenty of women who developed carpal tunnel and was forced to retire.
    In my humble opinion, pricing should be in ranges and predicated not only by the style but should also consider length and density. Consider also the amount of product the stylist is using. More hair = more product and more time. I can imagine that running a successful salon would require a lot of overhead to keep things running smooth and professionally. Now I do understand when it comes to price ranging there can be an issue with FAIR and HONEST pricing as I do know that there have been stylist to just give you the highest. That is not fair.
    To sum this all up from a business p.o.v. I get it. My conclusion is LEARN TO DO YOUR OWN HAIR. OR search for a stylist who offers FREE consultations. If I was a stylist I would book all of my consultations in the early morning BEFORE my shop even opens. Consultations should be free in my opinion. Proper scheduling and proper consultations would solve a lot of the issues I see going on the salon. Stylist have a bad habit of just fitting new people into their schedule. NOT good.

    I've never had an African braider try this on me. They just asked that it be washed with no product. I would not go to someone who told me my natural 4a - 4c was a problem. Then she had the nerve to do multiple passes on that girl's hair. I'm getting over damage that happened when I trusted so called pros who abused my hair with heat and caused damage to the hair I had finally grown out. I don't use heat and don't go to beauticians anymore. I was unfortunately at the mercy of set stylists when I worked as an extra. I worked in that industry for a year and in that year, because the roles sometimes required straightened hair, they ran roughshod through my natural hair. I could done a big chop and gone back to a twa at that point, my hair was ruined. I had invested in heat protectants and kept up the routines that helped my hair grow. But the stylists (black stylists!) Would rip through my hair without a care. Ironically, the most gentle people on those sets were the white stylists! I was truly scared to trust them, but they ended up being the most gentle. And did a great job creating the 50s African American styles for the job. Sad to think that. But I still love my natural hair, it's getting strong again, and I don't know when I'll ever let another person (except my mom!) touch my hair.
