Hair is so unique. It’s a reminder of our individual histories, our stories and everyone who has walked before us. Wear your hair with pride, it’s beautiful just the way it is ! 🥺
I loved this. After being addicted to Sino's videos of hair, I took it upon myself to understand the politics around our hair and the history of our styles. Epiphany that I will forever charish! I'm now a combination of both, haircare and the politics of hair. Our hair definitely is not just hair!
I got literal goose bumps when she said “You can arrest us”. This conversation hit home and its so much more than just about hair. The fact that she could feel her heart in her throat, yet still spoke out is a valuable lesson we can all learn. Thank you Sino for this Vid ♥️♥️♥️
That part about going through the hair journey bringing all parts of you together, totally get that. It's so deep man. You meet yourself, new level of self-love and appreciation unlocked
I'm a guy, I love hair so much, and people treat you differently when you grow your hair, especially 4C type. I had to cut it because I started feeling insecure about myself. But I'm growing it again, lets see....
In grade 11 I happened to cut and stop relaxing my hair. It was nothing hectic or deep. Just trying something different. After I was appointed as one of the prefects for the following year I was “advised” by my high school principal to tone it down because she didn’t understand what this phase I’m going through is but I’m now a role model and I cannot be one of the rotten apples with my unruly hair 💔 this was over 15 years ago and I obeyed because her opinion of me really mattered to me then.
Current situation. Form 5 deputy headgirl at an all girls school in Eswatini. I refused to cut or relax it. So now it's ALWAYS in cornrows. I go to school from Monday to Saturday. So on Sunday i have to unbraid, wash an cornrow my hair🤧🤧i don't have it in me to rebel unfortunately
Loved the part about how politics and hair care are two different things. The moment a black girl leaves her hair to grow the way it was meant to "she's deep/she's starting a movement". The moment you want to address important social issues like Zulaikha did the its diminished by "its just about hair". Systemic/Institutionalised racism is real in South Africa. To the point where even African people are making those comments to other African people. But overall, LOVED THIS!
Hey Sino ❤️really enjoyed this video. It was very insightful. I have sent you an email a few weeks ago kindly asking that you do a sit down video with a guest regarding hair loss (alopecia). It’s a very heavy topic and reality that a lot of women face and I would really love to get more insight on it. Perhaps interview Gail Mabalane please. She’s a very powerful woman ❤️✊🏾
This conversation is so close to my heart cause I’ve had the same experience also. I went to a multiracial school and I had an Afro in grade 9, they sent me to the office because I was “rebellious” called my mom to come fetch me and I could only come back when my hair is relaxed. Ndabuya the following day with blown hair, my mom was worried and all. I also was fearful because I wanted to challenge I’m so sad I didn’t have the voice I have now back then. I enjoyed this conversation so much
I have a lot of hair, and whether it’s relaxed or not it gets extremely long. In primary school I had relaxed hair, the teachers would admire it, but later realised “She’s black” and I can’t have hair that long… My mom used to put my hair in a pony tail or two, and the teachers first said extensions are against our code of conduct, l told them this is my hair in it’s natural state (relaxed, I didn’t know any better), they later called my parents that it’s “past the length it’s supposed to be in, which is shoulder length”(for blacks)🙃 My white schoolmates had hair down to their cr*cks, and it was perfectly fine. 🙂 I had shoulder blade length hair that was against the CoC. 🙄 Loved this Sino & Zulaikha ❤️
Listening to this conversation is so crazy to me cause you all are African living in South Africa where the beauty standards should represent Black Beauty & not White Supremacy Beauty. Colonization is something else (a MF). Sounds just like America!!! 💯🥲🤬
Can we get another book please, I feel like Gogo has more stories to tell Lisakhanya, Olerato and Khensani. The book is a bedtime favourite for my daughter and I technically know the book by heart now 🤦♀️😂
Even non-multiracial school have this thing of wanting to control our hair. I’m done with high school but I’m only annoyed now that I’m aware that this is abuse pure abuse.
@@sinovuyomondliwa yes we are taught that our natural hair is untidy, it goes to an extent that they don’t allow people to loc their hair unless you bring proof that you’re a spiritual person like sangomas. Even high puff is not allowed. How ridiculous 😪
I actually did. Zulaika is young. Her thoughts are developing and she is more aware than I was at her age. There is no room for condemning people on this platform.
What a great conversation 👌 Zulaikha is so good with words.. I'm definitely watching this again with my 11yr old daughter.. I want the book too 😍

That also hit me! Wanted to cry.
Zulaikha Patel has always been a bold and beautiful woman with leadership skills. ❤
First of all you guys look great 💙
Thank you so much 🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️

Lord......... How I wish I was this confident at her age. This interview gave me goosebums. I will definately buy her book

What's happening in schools is very sad,white people are obsessed with our hair.
You guys look great,thanks for sharing

WOW! I’m lost for words
Loving this conversation ❤
This video was very informative. Nibahle sana
Really enjoyed this conversation
Loved this video. Beautiful girl. Wow.
Amazing!!!!!!!!!!
I like how she said it isn't racist if a black person discriminates an Asian person
Very brave young lady 😍😍
❤❤❤❤❤ no words.
I love your earrings, Sino. Where did you get them?
You look at people with passion 🥺 how do you even do that
Beautiful outfit Sino. Wow.

Hi Sino.So how much will the Master class cost , I want to start saving since I'm a student.
me too
Hey love. I’m not sure what the prices will look like after Covid
@@sinovuyomondliwa we'll be waiting for you sis Sino
@@sinovuyomondliwa okay but keep us posted
Can we get another book please, I feel like Gogo has more stories to tell Lisakhanya, Olerato and Khensani.
The book is a bedtime favourite for my daughter and I technically know the book by heart now 🤦♀️😂
CAN you ask her to do a video of hair tips
She said in the video, she doesn’t do that
Relatable content ❤❤
Not the educator saying "Your afro has grown past the limit"😂😂😂😂kukho ilimits kanti kwi hair growth ma'am?😂
Even non-multiracial school have this thing of wanting to control our hair. I’m done with high school but I’m only annoyed now that I’m aware that this is abuse pure abuse.
What!! Really?? I wonder what drives it there. It’s the idea of being “neat” not including Afro hair.
@@sinovuyomondliwa yes we are taught that our natural hair is untidy, it goes to an extent that they don’t allow people to loc their hair unless you bring proof that you’re a spiritual person like sangomas. Even high puff is not allowed. How ridiculous 😪
@@mapulemadi262 completely ridiculous
I also went to an all girl's school and we also had a hair policy where we had to follow certain rules
❤❤❤
(1:50) They’re going off the military cuz those are sort of the regulations for black hair in the military and it’s tough
There is no sound😭😭😭😭
Hello. Just double checked on 3 different devices and there is sound. Kindly clarify
Put on earphones Portia
IT'S REALLY NOT JUST HAIR!!!
Bet none of you guys watched the Ground Floor podcast exposing how fake she is.
I actually did. Zulaika is young. Her thoughts are developing and she is more aware than I was at her age. There is no room for condemning people on this platform.
I wonder what her experience at school after the protest and media attention was like.
Sino you look very distracted.
I was checking the recording of the interview on the side screen.
