I'm not black but I am doing something similar. I used to straighten my hair, dye it blonde, and cover my grays. It's been almost 6 years since I did anything to alter the texture or color of my hair. It's now a wavy, frizzy mess, mixed with black & gray strands..... and I love it. It's pure freedom. I always get ugly comments from everyone, "so many grays".... "unkempt"... "witchy"... "too dark"... "makes you look old".. and so on. They see natural as ugly. They don't know that they've been brainwashed to believe that you can only be beautiful if only you are fake. This is the way God made me, and this is the way I'm gonna stay.
That title right there is precisely why I don't wear false hair, or put chemicals in my hair anymore. My profile picture is my real natural hair that grew out of my scalp / body. I love myself, and I love my natural hair and I will not be fooled anymore into buying other people's hair, or altering the texture of my hair with chemicals. My hair is medium length and not down my back, but it is healthy and I know how to take care of it properly. Nothing beats the feeling of touching my own hair, and I never have to take it off...
love your message...black women cant be told nothing but will be out here blaming their balding on genetics...when your scalp is suffocating under them damn wigs.
We wonder why so many people are dying of cancer. People that produce these products knew the dangers but didn't care. It's about money to them. Being natural is beautiful !
Our clothes and bed sheets, water bottles literally have plastics in them that absorb through our skin. It's nothing wrong with informing people about what is toxic but it's the moral condemnation. You can never wear weave and still get cancer because there are more things that are toxic in our environment than just weave. People just focus on weave to shame black women.
I just recently learned that synthetic braiding/crochet hair is made from toxic chemicals that you can’t wash off. I threw away all my extensions and I feel free! This video should have way more views!
After 5 years im now 7 month post relaxer, never want to go back to that creme crack. It damaged my hair so bad. Looking forward for the big chop and styling my natural hair. Greetings from germany ❤
I used to shave my head bald, I look beautiful. Im currently growing out my hair due to wanting to accept my natural hair texture and wanting to be more involved with my self care. There's no excuse, God made us beautiful and on purpose.. being bald is not an attack on femininity, its all how you look at it
It's so sad how stuck in weaves we are as a people. I will never ever go back to the creamy crack. That's a hard NO for me. I felt this message deep. Thank you so much for being real!!!
Ive had a weave put in yesterday because i have lost most of my own hair. This weave us far too tight and is very uncomfortabke, cost me 600 pounds, i want it out as quick as possible.
Can someone tell me what to do about advising my girlfriend who won't listen? I've talked about the damage she can do and expressed i hate weaves. She doesn't want to hear me. I like her hair! I'm attracted to beautiful hair. Plastic weave is not at all attractive.
My mom says the reason they target women especially black women is because they want the dollar from the community, they dont care if its your last coin😅...coz to them its about money and sales.
@@joshicabeautywhy does it have to be either or? Why can’t people do what they want? I love my natural hair, mostly gray all over, but if I want to switch it up (longer, shorter, different texture, different color) I’ll do whatever I want. Your information is important to know, but the judgements are a little over the top. At the end of the day, I could care less what anyone else chooses to make them feel good about themselves.
I have hair loss. I believe it's genetic. My mother and sibling also have hair loss but we all have completely different hair practices. My genetics: 1. Low vitamin D from living somewhere with little to no sunlight. 2. I'm a thalassemia carrier. Low iron and abnormal blood cells. 3. I have neurodivergent stress...I was recently diagnosed with autism at age 42....I've spent most of my life going against everything that an autistic person needs....hence the stress-induced hair loss. possibly CCCA. I have a friend who relaxes her hair because she had a severe back injury and she can't raise her hands to detangle and style her thick natural hair without severe pain. I would not rebuke her for having a relaxer. I rotate my style with my afro, wigs, hair pieces, clip ins, and kinky/marley twists extensions. but mostly I have my hair in a satin scarf to protect it and my scalp from the wind, rain, sun, cold airconditioning, dryness and heating. My scalp is too sensitive for relaxer now. I think most people are doing the best that they can with the skills, knowledge and resources that they have. A lot of women just cut all their hair off because they are tired of the judgement. I cut half my off last year into a Fro-hawk and dyed/bleached it... It was the most free I had been in 26 years with my hair. Even then I was judged when someone asked if I was a lesbian because I had a tapered fade. Smh. Black women in white-majority countries I swear are the most stressed. I think black women in black-majority countries have way less stress. I was raised in a black-majority country and no one complained about anyone's hairstyle regularly. I went to school in the 90s with black women/girls with shaved bald heads and women with waist-length hair. Relaxers, curly perms, weaves, hair pieces, braid extensions, locs, cornrows, Celie braids, twists and afros of all sizes. The only thing was not wigs because we view wigs as for old women whose hair didn't grow or who lost their hair from illness/ menopause.
I wouldn’t be needed for “convenience” if we accepted our natural hair. When people go natural, they go overboard trying to “tame” it. If natural natural hair was acceptable it wouldn’t be the need for it
Wearing a afro as a woman is not the norm lacefronts and wigs are ,women want to feel and look sexy ,with a plain afro you dont get that ig model look whats so popular with men nowadays ,relaxers are old skool nobody wears a relaxer and a wig makes no sense !!!
I see many “4c” people wearing wash and gos and their hair looks nothing like an ‘Afro’ when it’s done correctly. Coily hair is naturally dry and needs to be moisturized. So it’s simple, moisturize it. Gel and water are our hair’s best friends. No need to put on fake hair when you already have beautiful natural hair.
While I agree with you about how we should stop relaxing hair, I disagree with you about the weave. My stylists cornrow my natural hair under my weave and wigs and not only is weave more convenient, but my natural hair length retention has improved tremendously since starting weave. Also, in the West long, straighter hair is the most accepted. I’m not saying it’s right, but it’s the truth.
Some ppl have breakage or even cancer so what are you talking about. It's not always about not loving your natural hair. Sometimes there's a legitimate reason for nor showing your hair
People should do what they want to do and be comfortable with what how they want to live their lives. It’s up to the individual person, and they should not let people tell them what they should do or feel about anything when it comes to how they want to wear their hair, unless they are open to suggestions. If you want to wear your natural hair out; cool! If you, as your own person don’t care for the textured look and want to wear weaves and wigs; cool! If you want to wear a combination of both; cool! Lots of people enjoy either of these options, cause wha? It’s their own hair and if they are not doing anything and is of any detriment to themselves, more power to them!
Your hair is wrapped up while delivering this talk. Wearing our natural hair ain't a flex for a lot of us. "Get your hair done". It's common to hear that.
I have plenty of videos on UA-cam with my natural hair out. I've shared my second big chop journey to how I style my hair today. It's a flex if you know how to make it look good. All you need to know is the LOC method and to own it. You're probably hearing those comments from people with low self-esteem; who hate their hair and hate themselves. Why would you even listen to them?
"Creamy Crack" 😂😂😂💯...some wigs are necessary though, everyone doesn't want to spend time combing, and I definitely don't have the money for how much OUR salons charge. I'd rather pay $100 for 1 wig that will last at least a year.
@Mimi What's silly is $80 for a silk press that won't last more than a week🤷🏾♀️ Or $200 for braids, when you have to wash your hair at least every 1-2 weeks.
Some of us wear wigs because we don't always want to wear our hair in a afro. I can't wear my natural hair in any other style but a afro. I love my hair but sometimes I want a different look.
Stop telling people what to do how about you stop wearing makeup , why not wear your natural face ??? Don't you know makeup has chemicals in it too?? Girl bye an let people do them and you do you.
good luck with balding then...dont come for her...she is advocating for black women to authentically be themselves and be free doing so...you are out there looking a fool wearing someone else's hair...
You just did the same thing about her face she did about our hair haha. Why are we to not inform and empower each other and on ones own channel?? Truth can hurt it doesnt mean ppl have to listen, but she can tell just as anyone can tell or try to help. We can be more tactful and considerate but hey some ppl do that and some ppl straight up, one has to choose their delivery wisely.. Her face isnt done up with the lashes mascara highlighted and contoured, kept it light, it looks dope.

It's like the wigs are cursed and create hate for our own hair.
Yes! True freedom! Also, I love keeping my coins to myself😂

We should stop comparing hairtypes they are all different all unique but all of them are beautiful in its own way.

Greetings from germany ❤
I agree with you 100% some of these black women that's addicted to these wigs and weaves have mental issues. People hate hearing the truth.
Yes and gives a vibe of self and race hate, which nobody should feel especially mimicking something that does not grow naturally from your scalp
So true, we have a lot of healing to do.🥰
Please you tube sgi Buddhist movement an introduction full length version
Some people wear wigs because of health reasons like cancer

A low percentage and that’s crazy because some of the chemicals in wigs causes cancer
If your wearing makeup your playing men and yourself ❤❤

You're Welcome😀
So. Wearing make up doesn't make you insecure ? I don't wear weave, but just asking yall
Yes it does. Many women are made to feel insecure about themselves unfortunately.
She got a pound of makeup on
Good point. One step at a time i guess
I don't understand why videos like this don't get the deserved recognition ....get the book sister's ❤❤

I'm with you Sister. But it's only fair to address why the convenience of wigs, braid extensions, and weaves are sought after by women.
