I worked for a job in the early 2000s that told me my hair was too wild. Georgia humidity is no joke on human hair. Even a wig I bought swelled. I was told if I didn't change my hair, I would lose my job. I was transitioning to natural hair in ATL, when press and curls were becoming new and popular. Perms were literally taking out my hair. Thank GOD this generation doesn't have to go through that pressure and threat to conform.
In the 90s and early 2000s, natural hair wasn’t really embraced nor celebrated. When I was their age, my hair was relaxed. I didn’t even know I had this thick beautiful 4c hair that came out of my scalp. Now, in my 20s, I love my hair and wear it most of the time. This generation shows me that there is progress with representation and great affirmations. ✨
They are getting so big they are very beautiful God's beautiful Angels. They have big beautiful hair they were blessed with that hair on their head and they were born with kindness and confidence I love them so much its crazy how much they have grown its crazy I love you McClure family. God bless you all
One way to really damage your hair is perming and coloring , it will change the texture and slow down or stop the hair from growing . Even constant heat especially if the heat is too hot !
" Be quiet, keep that in the video." LOL I love their hair because it is versatile . Not that my opinion matters, but I love it. I remember back in the days of anchor women on the news ( Once they were accepted to be anchors) they were told they had to straighten their hair or no job. In Atlanta Monica Kaufman was one of the first anchor women of color and she was ridiculed a lot about her hair. It's nice to see women of color as anchor women now, wearing whatever style they like. This is a great video for young girls to watch the twins. I love the message you left for little girls.
Hair is hair...its not important. So not important. What is important is education and humility. Now those things are worthwhile and they LAST throughout the years and for a lifetime😉
I grew up in the 80's and went to a predominately white school, meaning most times I was the only black girl in a class of 31 students. I grew self conscious about my hair after the kids would tease me about having beads in my hair and always wanted to touch my corn rows. I'm so glad the girls have grown up loving their hair.
I believe that Ava and Alexis have 4A type hair because when their hair is out, their hair is super curly and doesn't look like it gets tangled that much when it's moisturized. But for 3C hair, it gets frizzy and tangled and when we moisturize it again and leave it out, a few minutes later or one day later, it gets tangled again, but not as tangled as it was before. And for 3c hair, you would have to detangle it one at a time and 3c hair gets caught in things like rubber bands when you leave your hair in a style for a few days. But it looks like Ava and Alexis hair doesn't do that. That's why I believe that they have type 4 hair or 4A hair.
Yes definitely 60's & 70's natural hair not only embraced, but what a time of hair design expression. Braided crown designs needed no added hair, adorned with gems. Absolutely stunning works of art. So glad I was able to experience those precious times.
I love this segment. You all kept it 💯 I will say I agree on both sides with Ami and Justin on the stigma about black hair. My Mom didn't teach me to love my hair, infact her and many others saw it beautiful when it was straight or in lose curls and braids. My curly 4b, 4c curly hair was Not accepted. And many girls I grew up with didn't like there hair and even today, a bunch of people still dislike their hair. So for the ones who embrace their hair and that now includes me, Thank God because like Ami said, it's the hair we have growing out our head. So embrace it. It's versatile, strong and truly beautiful
As fun as this episode was in the beginning, this is DEEEEEP. My grandma tried to get me to embrace my natural texture, but I wanted hair that "blew in the breeze". I'm grateful mostly for attending Barry U and seeing people with all different curl patterns. Still, there were "rebels" in the 90s like N'Dea Davenport or Angela Stribling. In fact, after seeing Angela natural on BET, I asked my mom to ditch the hit comb. Although I don't remember girls getting their hair relaxed at eight, I remember it being seen like a rite of passage into African-American womanhood. Thank God for our liberation and evolution.
I really love how you take proper care of your girls, teaching them how to love themselves. I also have a question to ask Mama McClure. Did you ever cut your girls' hair a few months after they were born? Because, back here in Nigeria, people say mothers should cut their daughters' first growth to kick start growth.
Never heard of that! My hair was long throughout all of childhood... no cutting at birth...my daughters hair the same.. just good care and growth is natural...
this video really means a lot, considering how i have very curly hair and people suggest me to straighten it, but i like it curly because natural hair is beautiful 🤩
I must say I am really happy that you did this video. It's so important for us to realize how beautiful and unique our hair is . It's ability to transform into any style imaginable
Yes Ava you look exactly like Alexis. Love watching these girls grow and having fun there amazing little girls with big personalities. And love all there antics. Girls I just love your hair and in long braids or straight down. Sending you Love & Hugs ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
@@Caprivlogs I only know that tip because when they got them put in (but they didn't show Mama McClure putting them in there heads though) they just showed the end result of their hair... anyway one of the girls said the easiest way that u can tell us (she was talking about both of them) is that (Twin's ) (She used there name) favorite color is Pink N (Twin's) favorite color is Purple) Idk which twin likes which color thats why I said Twin in () incase u were wondering?
Thanks for sharing this information. I remember when I was not hired because of my curly afroish hair and started to straighten it, grow it out or wear weaves. I am grateful for the evolution of thought, and videos like this encouraging young children and adults to be proud of their hair. ❤🙏
I love the authenticity of this! "No they WERE TOLD that they couldn't wear their natural hair". It's so true, the fact that laws have to be passed for black men and women to wear what naturally grows out of our heads speaks volumes of the ignorance and hate that people have.
Mom your supposed to cut one and take the braid out first just to gage where the hair is lol. Loook at me trying to give advice when I literally just cut my faux locs out and chopped a big piece of my hair off just last night lmaooooo.
Wow time flies!!! It's unbelievable to see how the girls have grown and so beautiful!! McClure parents you guys have done an awesome job and still is doing a great job raising your children .it's a wonderful thing!!! I still love to view your videos...although I don't see them as regular as I use to..i enjoy them still!!! Ami I'm glad to see you are ok again and back to being Ami!! Blessing to you guys!!❤
Thank you for putting out this black girl magic hair love! We must love, nurture and proudly wear our God given hair because it's fearfully and wonderfully made.
I love a natural afro.. I imagine your hair is difficult to manage, but you all have such beautiful hair... I do love when women and men of colour embrace their natural curls/ afro the bigger the better... Such a beautiful trio.. xx
Ava was right. Black girls got their hair straight to look like white girls. Black hair was not acceptable back in the day and in some cases even now. It was considered ugly or too "ethnic". We were not taught to love and embrace the beauty, thickness, and richness of our own hair. You could not get a job unless your hair was straitened and curled by using a hot Iron and hot curlers. Although Black girls wore cornrows/braids naturally (no fake hair mixed in) back in the day, it was not acceptable until Bo Derek wore braids in the movie 10, then it became a "thing".
And back in the day, we didn't have all the different kinds of stuff to work with in order to make our natural hair look its best. There's just so much more information concerning how to treat and embrace natural black people's hair. I really don't think it's fair to have mixed race people's images on products intended for the problematic kinky hair! This has nothing to do with this video...I'm just speaking in general terms.
@@teenamaree5660 AGREED!...and i never could understand why Black ppl keep putting themselves down. If only they knew how many white women come through my job with cornrows (extensions at that)...and with burnt skin from trying to get a tan...smh If you think EDUCATION is expensive...try IGNORANCE😳
Who told this 8yr old child that nonsense??...who is teaching her to be so "prideful" about trivial crap thats here today and gone tomorrow??? Education, humility, God-given talents, and things of that nature are what these kids (all kids should be focused on!)...sheesh...after all, its just hair!🙄
Btw...my grandmother wore an afro for YEARS, and she retired from the DOL!👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾 I don't teach my kids such nonsense. Hair is hair, however they KNOW better than to think they are better or "above" anyone else bc of things like hair, or color, or any of these materialistic things that are here today and gone tomorrow. We need to teach children the TRUTH🙏🏾 ***train up a child in the way he must go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6
When i was growing up i had long hair and i would get it braided from a friend of the family. I have think coarse hair, i even had relaxer in my hair to make it easier to comb. My mom use to do my hair with the hot comb, i didn't like it at all because i would get burned from time to time. And my hair would do it's own thing. If my mom curled my hair done it would raise up and i would sweat in my head. I have had many hairstyles and i would get my hair done by my older sister that went to cosmtogly school and she needed a model/ person to do their hair and i would get my hair done from my sister for free. And she was my hairstylist until she passed before my high school graduation. She did my hair most of the time. She did my hair for school and. I had a afro/ natural. I always had someone doing my hair in my family. The last time she did my hair she did it for my prom and she planned to do it for my graduation but she was sick with cancer and the salon owner did my hair for me, and i went to elementary school with her daughter. So i have had my share of hair styles. I still have think coarse hair but it short. It works for me and it's easier to take care of. When my hair was longer it was harder to handle and i couldn't put in a ponytail etc. I have Cerebral Palsy and it has been hard to deal with so i keep it short and i love 💗 myself and my hair.
Women used to gush over my hair because it had such a strong wave to it. I hated it because I didn't see other girls with my kind of hair and I wanted to look like the pretty girls on t.v., black girls included because they all had straight hair on t.v. and in magazines. I think I would have embraced it more if I was actually able to straighten it, but the wave was too thick. Now that my hair has naturally relaxed more, I can straighten it. I find that now I rarely ever straighten it or use heat. I just put it in a braid everyday.
I was born in the very late 90s and because of the limitations society had placed on the generation before me, even after some of those limitations were lifted ish, a lot of our (the children growing up) hair was relaxed/"creamed" or flat ironed because they (our parents) didn't know how to "manage"/ care for natural hair. They didn't get to spend their hair journey learning about their own hair and how to take care of it. Combined with the residual mindset of your natural hair isn't professional. Even though a lot of us sustained chemical burns, direct burns and hair damage from these styles, we still had to get our hair creamed the next time around. I am so grateful for UA-cam and the increase in the sharing of knowledge of natural hair care because when I turned 18, I was now able to fully refuse creaming my hair and I had to prove that I could "manage" my natural hair. I always hated creaming my hair; it hurt so much, It burned, I had scabs and the very last time my scalp bled. My hair would never pass my shoulder because of breakage, split ends and thinning. The big chop was one of the best decisions I ever made. My hair is now healthier, longer (almost at my bottom), I have a lot less breakage and split ends and I LOVE my curls. And now with knowledge I shared, the other women in my family including my mother have grown to love and know how to better care for their natural hair
The girls hair are beautiful. Every style looks good on the I don't blame them for not being able to chose. Maybe some desensitization to the attachment to their hair maybe necessary cause when ava thought the hair was going to be cut she was about to have a break down, lol.
I’m 42, I REMEMBER THE HOT COMB. AT MY HOUSE WE CALLED IT THE PRESSING COMB. MY MOMMA WOULD PUT THE “Magic” HAIR GREASE ON OUR HAIR TO STRAIGHTEN OUT. IT WOULD STEAM AND SIZZLE SO MUCH. SOMETIMES IT ALMOST SMELLED LIKE IT WAS BURNING. 🔥
Awesome video. It’s great to see them embracing their natural hair. They are blessed to have so much of it as well. I have been suffering with alopecia, so wigs have been my go to option. However, I absolutely love how natural hair looks and the versatility of it.
Tonya Paterson I have a a friend with alopecia and she has stopped the hot wigs and uncomfortable weaves and now has completely shaved her head. She looks so amazing and chic. She looks better even then she did with hair. It's OK to let your true beauty show.
And also...No matter what anyone says, there is a difference between nappy hair and curly hair! This video is about encouraging girls to accept their curly hair...nappy hair is a whole different subject! Thick nappy hair makes beautiful afros. I wasn't even blessed with that kind of hair until I became a mature woman and learned what to do to improve my hair. Now it's as thick as sheep's wool and I'll soon have to go to the salon because I'm having trouble managing it! So, to each his own! When you look at the way black women wear their hair now, it's gotten to where you can't tell real from fake. So if a man chooses a woman because of her hair, he's likely in for a huge disappointment if that's part of the reason he's interested in her...let alone if he marries her for that reason! Black women are wearing blond hair. permed hair, long silky wigs, fake afros...everything and anything goes now as long as it looks good. Hair is not important when it comes to the woman. What matters is her physical appearance...Is she keeping her weight down and how well she grooms herself overall. As well, it is a woman's character is extremely important when it comes to her beauty. There's a saying that beauty is only skin deep. But ugly is clean to the bones. No matter how beautiful a woman is, whether it's her hair or her looks, if she's not mindful of how she presents herself verbally, or the way she treats people, she's just plain ugly, no matter who she is!
I so agree with you...and Im so glad that you're embracing your true self. I believe that children need to learn the important things in life, and learn that it's definitely NOT material things...or things that's here today, and gone tomorrow. Children need to learn the FEAR of GOD. That's what it's all about. Because at the end of the day....it's JUST hair🤷
Some US states will not allow black children to attend school with natural hair longer than 2 inches or in cornrows. For additional information about hair discrimination see the "Crown Act.
**most are very intimidated by the dark skin children...they are jealous of this MELANIN we have. Thats why they "brain wash" people into thinking that white or mixed is better. But I teach my kids the TRUTH
Let's be real. Those girls are blessed with beautiful long thick curly tresses only because they're half white. Most all black girls are not blessed with beautiful curly hair. When you are full blooded African American, your hair is just plain nappy in its natural state. I'm not, at all, proud to have the kind of hair that I have! Through the years, it just hasn't been enough, one way or the other, to look pretty in its natural state. So I started wearing wigs when I was a teenager. In fact, mama started buying wigs for me when I was about 14 yrs. old. I remember her sending money to my sister in New York, for her to send me a long wig that ran down my back. I was kind of taken by surprise when it arrived because it looked like Cousin It's hair on that Adam's family show...only the color was off black. So I wore it a few times before I decided it was just too much! Anyhow, I feel that biracial people are blessed because they just basically get to have it all. so to speak, when it comes to their hair and skin tone. I'm okay with the way I am, but it might have been nice if I'd been born biracial....specifically half black. half white. Don't judge me for feeling as I do...I'm just being honest. Also, I kind of think this video will cause full blooded black girls, with short pig tails, to think they're hair isn't okay because it doesn't look like Ava and Alexis's beautiful long hair. I feel that the girls should be made aware of the fact that their half Caucasian lineage greatly contributed to the kind of hair they're blessed to have....Had they been full blooded Nigerian, they would have had Ami's off the forehead short hair.
@@QueenOfCallingSpades I'm a 67 yr. old woman. I don't need to be scolded about my attitude here. If you read what I wrote and actually understood what I was saying, you would know that much of what I was saying was in reference to the way things were when I was growing up! Also, say what you will, but everyone can't have long beautiful hair. It all depends on genetics. By the way, Ami takes good care of her hair, but she can't even get her hairline to grow out. She doesn't have long beautiful hair because of genetics. So you likely don't know what you're talking about. Different strokes for different folks!! God didn't make us all with the same ability to grow beautiful tresses! It's genetic!
@@QueenOfCallingSpades l have no problem with my skin tone. I have a great skin tone. But I had spinal surgery that left me with a long neck scar that I'm ashamed of! I wish my hair was long so I wouldn't have to wear wigs long enough to cover it!!!
@@QueenOfCallingSpades Oh stop being so full of yourself, with your run of the mill Oprah show preaching!! You're reading way too much into my comments and failing to rightly interpret what I actually said here! Just move on!
@@katiadelivrance1703 I've seen light skinned blacks identifying as 100%! And I wonder if they even understand that you're not all black unless you're straight out of Africa black! So exactly how black are you? And, besides, there are also other races besides Caucasians with the propensity to grow long hair...lots of them! Move on, please!
The girl is right. My mother and aunts used to have their natural hair in a bun or twisted and it was acceptabele and looked beautiful, but then came the straightening and black people said to each other “ you have bad hair.. so the black natural hair became “bad hair” and everybody began straightening their hair as you wanted to look like all those white actresses and singers . But then the worst time began and they began to wear the wigs all day long. Africans trough centuries used to use all sort of wigs, but not to the extend that it damage their hair. But nowadays you see some people walking around with those cheap old wigs and sometimes it looks really bad . I am so glad you are teaching the girl to love their hair, although the girls have mixed hair ( the 3c pattern and I love it, as you can do a lot of hairdo with that hair.) But nowadays I see a lot of beautiful beautiful black girls with their natural hair and to me they do look like African queens. The ebony skin radiant and that amazing hair ( only Africans or African descendant have this amazing 4 c hair) .
I love your positive comment. I am African American with long hair, and i've always had long hair....🤷🏾 I love being Black and i love my natural hair, even if it was short, i'd still love it. I teach the children in my class that hair does not make a person....nor does color, or race. Humility is beauty. Your heart. Being kind to people and treating people like you want to be treated.
I love everyone’s hair! A lot of people don’t accept your guys type of hair (which isn’t right) but just think of the people that do like it! Know one cares about rude opinions be yourself!
I would straighten my hair a lot in middle school and every time I wore it natural I would get so many compliments. I personally liked my hair straight though and looking back, it was probably because it added length. In high school up until 11th grade, I straightened my hair everryyydaaayy. I liked swimming too and never participated in gym class because I didn’t want anyone to see my hair was curly. Idk why it bothered me so much? But then one day, I decided to wear it natural and people I didn’t talk to or necessarily care for, were complimenting me and specifically saying, “Your hair looks so much better curly” “it fits you/your face” “is that your natural hair!?” And I am now almost 21 and I haven’t straightened my hair since. (My hair is between 3a-3b curls) Oh! and Ava and Lexi have gorgeous hair ❤️
Wonderful vid! This is a great hair learning video. The girls were very funny being themselves! Positive lessons in real life situations are always the best. Mom and dad commentaries were great. 👍🏽
I can relate to this video... I wanted to embrace my natural hair from high school days but I couldn't manage it so I always go back to relaxed hair until I was in my 20s🥰🥰🥰🥰 Now I'm like its not that hard to manage I guess I was too young to handle it😄😄😄 I love my natural curly hair and prefer wearing it just like that🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Really great job and awesome video. Very candid and I really liked you telling the truth about the experience of afro hair in that time period. Well done.
Hey guys I was also loosing my braids when i saw the notification and I watched this video b4 you knew it I was done. ✋😁 I also have this super black natural hair(I am Nigerian) it's not that long but it was tangled all the way. I love to keep it this way coz it kind of shows your neutrality and personality and also my mom(Nigerian) would never allow us to try use anything that will change it somehow😂😂. But I don't know any tips on keeping my hair entangled.🙄 Anyways,it's a really nice job teaching the kids to love their natural hair😗😍 keep up with the job💙💚💙❤💖
These girls have gorgeous gorgeous hair no matter which way they put it although it looks best and they look stunningly beautiful when it’s straight!!!!!!!!♥️♥️
@@teenamaree5660 You’re ridiculous and remember these girls are half White!!! Biracial as their father was a tall blonde white guy!!!! So why not style is straight sometimes like everybody else does and their half White anyways so it’s their culture too!
@@terryramos7126 You don't Express yourself well. I only know how to respond to people who articulate well. However, you stated that the girls look gorgeous with bone straight hair.

Loook at me trying to give advice when I literally just cut my faux locs out and chopped
a big piece of my hair off just last night lmaooooo.
Wow time flies!!! It's unbelievable to see how the girls have grown and so beautiful!! McClure parents you guys have done an awesome job and still is doing a great job raising your children .it's a wonderful thing!!! I still love to view your videos...although I don't see them as regular as I use to..i enjoy them still!!! Ami I'm glad to see you are ok again and back to being Ami!! Blessing to you guys!!❤
I could listen to these two all day! The cuteness is too much!
Ikr😍
Thank you for putting out this black girl magic hair love! We must love, nurture and proudly wear our God given hair because it's fearfully and wonderfully made.
...but not "idolize" or put any of those things before God Almighty.
Love you guys!
I love a natural afro.. I imagine your hair is difficult to manage, but you all have such beautiful hair... I do love when women and men of colour embrace their natural curls/ afro the bigger the better... Such a beautiful trio.. xx
BRUH! "My hair, it don't move." Will NEVER get old. Cracked me up!
I am so with u on this one I used to hate my hair but now I watched this i can embrace my hair
That braid out was great. Im 25 still learning how to properly take care of my hair 😂❤
I love their natural hair, absolutely stunning xx
I love Eva and Alexis hairstyles. I was not confident of my hair before but Ave and Alexis encouraged me.
The girls are growing so beautiful 💕
Ava was right. Black girls got their hair straight to look like white girls. Black hair was not acceptable back in the day and in some cases even now. It was considered ugly or too "ethnic". We were not taught to love and embrace the beauty, thickness, and richness of our own hair. You could not get a job unless your hair was straitened and curled by using a hot Iron and hot curlers. Although Black girls wore cornrows/braids naturally (no fake hair mixed in) back in the day, it was not acceptable until Bo Derek wore braids in the movie 10, then it became a "thing".
And back in the day, we didn't have all the different kinds of stuff to work with in order to make our natural hair look its best. There's just so much more information concerning how to treat and embrace natural black people's hair. I really don't think it's fair to have mixed race people's images on products intended for the problematic kinky hair! This has nothing to do with this video...I'm just speaking in general terms.
@@teenamaree5660 AGREED!...and i never could understand why Black ppl keep putting themselves down. If only they knew how many white women come through my job with cornrows (extensions at that)...and with burnt skin from trying to get a tan...smh
If you think EDUCATION is expensive...try IGNORANCE😳
Who told this 8yr old child that nonsense??...who is teaching her to be so "prideful" about trivial crap thats here today and gone tomorrow???
Education, humility, God-given talents, and things of that nature are what these kids (all kids should be focused on!)...sheesh...after all, its just hair!🙄
Btw...my grandmother wore an afro for YEARS, and she retired from the DOL!👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾
I don't teach my kids such nonsense. Hair is hair, however they KNOW better than to think they are better or "above" anyone else bc of things like hair, or color, or any of these materialistic things that are here today and gone tomorrow. We need to teach children the TRUTH🙏🏾

When i was growing up i had long hair and i would get it braided from a friend of the family.
I have think coarse hair, i even had relaxer in my hair to make it easier to comb. My mom use to do my hair with the hot comb, i didn't like it at all because i would get burned from time to time. And my hair would do it's own thing.
If my mom curled my hair done it would raise up and i would sweat in my head.
I have had many hairstyles and i would get my hair done by my older sister that went to cosmtogly school and she needed a model/ person to do their hair and i would get my hair done from my sister for free. And she was my hairstylist until she passed before my high school graduation.
She did my hair most of the time. She did my hair for school and. I had a afro/ natural. I always had someone doing my hair in my family. The last time she did my hair she did it for my prom and she planned to do it for my graduation but she was sick with cancer and the salon owner did my hair for me, and i went to elementary school with her daughter.
So i have had my share of hair styles. I still have think coarse hair but it short. It works for me and it's easier to take care of.
When my hair was longer it was harder to handle and i couldn't put in a ponytail etc.
I have Cerebral Palsy and it has been hard to deal with so i keep it short and i love 💗 myself and my hair.
Short hair is just as beautiful as long hair is. I never understood why people judge or "like" someone according to these trivial and temperal things😕
Long comment, turned into a. Story
@Eugenia Jones: God Bless you😘
@@ceetee8357 Thank you so very much for the blessing, God has has blessed me.
@@eugeniajones1895 i can already tell. You speak very kind👍🏾😇
Women used to gush over my hair because it had such a strong wave to it. I hated it because I didn't see other girls with my kind of hair and I wanted to look like the pretty girls on t.v., black girls included because they all had straight hair on t.v. and in magazines. I think I would have embraced it more if I was actually able to straighten it, but the wave was too thick. Now that my hair has naturally relaxed more, I can straighten it. I find that now I rarely ever straighten it or use heat. I just put it in a braid everyday.
Alexis has me feeling so old when she says "late 1900s" 😭
Beautiful hair, beautiful girlz!! Great job mom and dad!!
Ava is totally a diva😂
I was born in the very late 90s and because of the limitations society had placed on the generation before me, even after some of those limitations were lifted ish, a lot of our (the children growing up) hair was relaxed/"creamed" or flat ironed because they (our parents) didn't know how to "manage"/ care for natural hair. They didn't get to spend their hair journey learning about their own hair and how to take care of it. Combined with the residual mindset of your natural hair isn't professional. Even though a lot of us sustained chemical burns, direct burns and hair damage from these styles, we still had to get our hair creamed the next time around. I am so grateful for UA-cam and the increase in the sharing of knowledge of natural hair care because when I turned 18, I was now able to fully refuse creaming my hair and I had to prove that I could "manage" my natural hair. I always hated creaming my hair; it hurt so much, It burned, I had scabs and the very last time my scalp bled. My hair would never pass my shoulder because of breakage, split ends and thinning. The big chop was one of the best decisions I ever made. My hair is now healthier, longer (almost at my bottom), I have a lot less breakage and split ends and I LOVE my curls. And now with knowledge I shared, the other women in my family including my mother have grown to love and know how to better care for their natural hair
The girls hair are beautiful. Every style looks good on the I don't blame them for not being able to chose. Maybe some desensitization to the attachment to their hair maybe necessary cause when ava thought the hair was going to be cut she was about to have a break down, lol.
I’m 42, I REMEMBER THE HOT COMB. AT MY HOUSE WE CALLED IT THE PRESSING COMB. MY MOMMA WOULD PUT THE “Magic” HAIR GREASE ON OUR HAIR TO STRAIGHTEN OUT. IT WOULD STEAM AND SIZZLE SO MUCH. SOMETIMES IT ALMOST SMELLED LIKE IT WAS BURNING. 🔥
When Alexis said “in the late 1900’s “ 😭 priceless; I’m just here laughing at myself now 🤣🤣😂
You girls are so beautiful, I love all the hair styles your Mama put you in.
Awesome video. It’s great to see them embracing their natural hair. They are blessed to have so much of it as well. I have been suffering with alopecia, so wigs have been my go to option. However, I absolutely love how natural hair looks and the versatility of it.
I hear you. But its a person's heart that really counts...its how we treat others. Hair or not.
Tonya Paterson I have a a friend with alopecia and she has stopped the hot wigs and uncomfortable weaves and now has completely shaved her head. She looks so amazing and chic. She looks better even then she did with hair. It's OK to let your true beauty show.
And also...No matter what anyone says, there is a difference between nappy hair and curly hair! This video is about encouraging girls to accept their curly hair...nappy hair is a whole different subject! Thick nappy hair makes beautiful afros. I wasn't even blessed with that kind of hair until I became a mature woman and learned what to do to improve my hair. Now it's as thick as sheep's wool and I'll soon have to go to the salon because I'm having trouble managing it! So, to each his own!
When you look at the way black women wear their hair now, it's gotten to where you can't tell real from fake. So if a man chooses a woman because of her hair, he's likely in for a huge disappointment if that's part of the reason he's interested in her...let alone if he marries her for that reason! Black women are wearing blond hair. permed hair, long silky wigs, fake afros...everything and anything goes now as long as it looks good. Hair is not important when it comes to the woman. What matters is her physical appearance...Is she keeping her weight down and how well she grooms herself overall. As well, it is a woman's character is extremely important when it comes to her beauty. There's a saying that beauty is only skin deep. But ugly is clean to the bones. No matter how beautiful a woman is, whether it's her hair or her looks, if she's not mindful of how she presents herself verbally, or the way she treats people, she's just plain ugly, no matter who she is!
I so agree with you...and Im so glad that you're embracing your true self. I believe that children need to learn the important things in life, and learn that it's definitely NOT material things...or things that's here today, and gone tomorrow. Children need to learn the FEAR of GOD. That's what it's all about. Because at the end of the day....it's JUST hair🤷
SUPER facts!!!😲👍🏾
Twins are so gorgeous! Love them ❤️
You guys are beautiful inside and out! 💪💪
Thank you!!
Finally black people standing up about black hair 😌😌
Some US states will not allow black children to attend school with natural hair longer than 2 inches or in cornrows. For additional information about hair discrimination see the "Crown Act.
**most are very intimidated by the dark skin children...they are jealous of this MELANIN we have. Thats why they "brain wash" people into thinking that white or mixed is better. But I teach my kids the TRUTH
bro Alexis really slayed my life with "the late 1900s" she's not even lying but it sounds like FOREVER ago hahahaha
Let's be real. Those girls are blessed with beautiful long thick curly tresses only because they're half white. Most all black girls are not blessed with beautiful curly hair. When you are full blooded African American, your hair is just plain nappy in its natural state. I'm not, at all, proud to have the kind of hair that I have! Through the years, it just hasn't been enough, one way or the other, to look pretty in its natural state. So I started wearing wigs when I was a teenager. In fact, mama started buying wigs for me when I was about 14 yrs. old. I remember her sending money to my sister in New York, for her to send me a long wig that ran down my back. I was kind of taken by surprise when it arrived because it looked like Cousin It's hair on that Adam's family show...only the color was off black. So I wore it a few times before I decided it was just too much! Anyhow, I feel that biracial people are blessed because they just basically get to have it all. so to speak, when it comes to their hair and skin tone. I'm okay with the way I am, but it might have been nice if I'd been born biracial....specifically half black. half white. Don't judge me for feeling as I do...I'm just being honest.
Also, I kind of think this video will cause full blooded black girls, with short pig tails, to think they're hair isn't okay because it doesn't look like Ava and Alexis's beautiful long hair. I feel that the girls should be made aware of the fact that their half Caucasian lineage greatly contributed to the kind of hair they're blessed to have....Had they been full blooded Nigerian, they would have had Ami's off the forehead short hair.
@@QueenOfCallingSpades I'm a 67 yr. old woman. I don't need to be scolded about my attitude here. If you read what I wrote and actually understood what I was saying, you would know that much of what I was saying was in reference to the way things were when I was growing up! Also, say what you will, but everyone can't have long beautiful hair. It all depends on genetics.
By the way, Ami takes good care of her hair, but she can't even get her hairline to grow out. She doesn't have long beautiful hair because of genetics. So you likely don't know what you're talking about. Different strokes for different folks!! God didn't make us all with the same ability to grow beautiful tresses! It's genetic!
I'm 100% black and I have long beautifull hair. What are you talking about ?!?!?!?!? Learn to appreciate what you have!
@@QueenOfCallingSpades l have no problem with my skin tone. I have a great skin tone. But I had spinal surgery that left me with a long neck scar that I'm ashamed of! I wish my hair was long so I wouldn't have to wear wigs long enough to cover it!!!
@@QueenOfCallingSpades Oh stop being so full of yourself, with your run of the mill Oprah show preaching!! You're reading way too much into my comments and failing to rightly interpret what I actually said here! Just move on!
@@katiadelivrance1703 I've seen light skinned blacks identifying as 100%! And I wonder if they even understand that you're not all black unless you're straight out of Africa black! So exactly how black are you? And, besides, there are also other races besides Caucasians with the propensity to grow long hair...lots of them! Move on, please!
The girl is right. My mother and aunts used to have their natural hair in a bun or twisted and it was acceptabele and looked beautiful, but then came the straightening and black people said to each other “ you have bad hair.. so the black natural hair became “bad hair” and everybody began straightening their hair as you wanted to look like all those white actresses and singers . But then the worst time began and they began to wear the wigs all day long. Africans trough centuries used to use all sort of wigs, but not to the extend that it damage their hair. But nowadays you see some people walking around with those cheap old wigs and sometimes it looks really bad . I am so glad you are teaching the girl to love their hair, although the girls have mixed hair ( the 3c pattern and I love it, as you can do a lot of hairdo with that hair.) But nowadays I see a lot of beautiful beautiful black girls with their natural hair and to me they do look like African queens. The ebony skin radiant and that amazing hair ( only Africans or African descendant have this amazing 4 c hair) .
I love your positive comment. I am African American with long hair, and i've always had long hair....🤷🏾
I love being Black and i love my natural hair, even if it was short, i'd still love it. I teach the children in my class that hair does not make a person....nor does color, or race. Humility is beauty. Your heart. Being kind to people and treating people like you want to be treated.
They're so cute!! Beautiful hair and princesses!! 👑 👑🤎 🤎🥰💕💕💕💖
The part my hair it don't move and when the mom says it move is so hilarious 😂😂
I love everyone’s hair! A lot of people don’t accept your guys type of hair (which isn’t right) but just think of the people that do like it! Know one cares about rude opinions be yourself!
MIXED girl magic. Ami's hair is black girl magic.
Yes, I have confidence in my hair just like the McClure's do, I love my natural hair so much
Y'all are simply beautiful.
Ava and Alexis, your braids and hair styles always ROCK🔥💜💕
I would straighten my hair a lot in middle school and every time I wore it natural I would get so many compliments. I personally liked my hair straight though and looking back, it was probably because it added length. In high school up until 11th grade, I straightened my hair everryyydaaayy. I liked swimming too and never participated in gym class because I didn’t want anyone to see my hair was curly. Idk why it bothered me so much? But then one day, I decided to wear it natural and people I didn’t talk to or necessarily care for, were complimenting me and specifically saying, “Your hair looks so much better curly” “it fits you/your face” “is that your natural hair!?” And I am now almost 21 and I haven’t straightened my hair since. (My hair is between 3a-3b curls) Oh! and Ava and Lexi have gorgeous hair ❤️
Great lesson for them to learn. To love and appreciate their hair and to know how really versatile they can wear it. I💕💗💕
I understand the panic of cutting your hair, I've cut my hair before I was devastated🥺 but we learn. I'd rather cut right at the very end.
Wonderful vid! This is a great hair learning video. The girls were very funny being themselves! Positive lessons in real life situations are always the best. Mom and dad commentaries were great. 👍🏽
Thank you so much I will embrace my black girl magic so much from now on that was truly inspiring! 😍
I can relate to this video... I wanted to embrace my natural hair from high school days but I couldn't manage it so I always go back to relaxed hair until I was in my 20s🥰🥰🥰🥰 Now I'm like its not that hard to manage I guess I was too young to handle it😄😄😄 I love my natural curly hair and prefer wearing it just like that🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ava lol "I'm the boss of my hair"
She dont want no scissors around her hair lol
Nice hair I need some lol
Really great job and awesome video. Very candid and I really liked you telling the truth about the experience of afro hair in that time period. Well done.
The girls have beautiful curly hair. 😉💗
Love you guys ❤️
Our hair rocks... 🙋🏿🙆🏿♀️🙋🏿
Love the girls hair!! Love that black girl magic!
The conversation went all the way left 😂😂😂😂. Momma McCluire gon let dad know.
Their both so adorable! ✨💕
I’ve noticed that their hair growth accelerated since they consistently protective style
"Why our hair is mixed girl magic"
Hey guys I was also loosing my braids when i saw the notification and I watched this video b4 you knew it I was done. ✋😁
I also have this super black natural hair(I am Nigerian) it's not that long but it was tangled all the way. I love to keep it this way coz it kind of shows your neutrality and personality and also my mom(Nigerian) would never allow us to try use anything that will change it somehow😂😂. But I don't know any tips on keeping my hair entangled.🙄
Anyways,it's a really nice job teaching the kids to love their natural hair😗😍 keep up with the job💙💚💙❤💖
Please keep your hair natural. Embrace who you are. I think natural (Black hair) is BEAUTIFUL...and we don't see enough of it😍
yas omg what a beautiful curl pattern, embrace your hair young beauties people are buying wigs like that
These girls have gorgeous gorgeous hair no matter which way they put it although it looks best and they look stunningly beautiful when it’s straight!!!!!!!!♥️♥️
You're probably not black... You wouldn't think their hair is more beautiful straight if you were.
