Cant respect black women who use the stinking nasty relaxer. Why would you wanna straighten the lambs wool that God has bestowed on you Black people are the only people with that hair. Black women who relax their hair and their childrens hair are agents of white supremacy and therefore an enemy of black people. They are sellouts and sambos and are destroying us Fire and brimstone on them. forgive them father for they know not what they do for you have created us first in your perfect image
NO, We are SOOO sorry for you! Mixed and ignorant, how sad…what are you a 12 yr old? Thanks for the thought provoking comment idiot.
HAPPY2BNAPPY
wait. was the dude at the end of the video for real? lol. i hope not. and lol @ Niki223344. please, don’t feel sorry b’cuz nobody needs your sympathy. i’ll take my kinky-ass fro over “curls” any day.
Its called having a tan!!! I was dark when I lived in Texas but I moved to Virginia and got lighter because of the climate change!
Good video but skip the fuckin music, cant even hear the words omg lol
yup! self – hate is great!!!…smh
never trust a blonde black woman!!!
WOW well my hairs not nappy just curly so sorrie for yall but nevrmind is kuz im mixed
Next time, PLEASE turn down the background music!
I could hardly hear what the ladies were saying!
take the damn music out of this! its drowning the voices of the people speaking!!
beyonce etc use lightening creams and stuff, the girl looks nearly white but was born black
nice documentary keep up the good work sistah! and I wish u the best in as far as your schooling goes.
What is wrong with Black American women? So obsessed with the race and hair types. It pisses me off.All hair types are natural whether you have relaxed or coloured it. And stop saying a lighter skin is more beautiful or darker skin more beautiful. I’m beginning to be annoyed by black americans. I’m from Africa and live in Europe and do whatever Iwant with my hair. My daughter has honey blond curls & she wears it curly or straight. White people also got there as immigrants . Stop the racism.
yea i agree… its not our hair they are celebrating. Its Asian peoples hair that is being put in the spotlight everytime you see a black woman with a weave.
If you are getting relaxers you basically covering up that versatility, especially since natual hair can be straight, kinky curly coily wavy frizzy or sleek… relaxed hair is uniform- everyone with a relaxer looks the same. Thats not versatile. Now a wig is somebody elses hair or synthetic. It has nothing to do with black hair.
i agree with what you’re saying, but they are not celebrating its versatility, that’s not at all what thier point is— if they were celebrating versatility we’d see thier hair be different texture, closer to the natural one, they clearly stay in a certain texture range
They were saying how black female celebities just get lighter and lighter looking. Which is true. I was born in barbados and when rihanna first came out she was never that light. Beyonce also got lighter even tho shes light already and so did Kelly and Keyshia Cole. The media is so harsh to black women its unbelievable.
Im light skinned and i hate when someone who has more african in them think we (light skinned) people dont have trouble with our hair I got more FRIZZ than i can handle….people with straight hair want curles and vice versa that just the way it is BUT i dont put any weave and extensions in my hair that is all too pricey and i am not paying i will just deal with my frizz
No, she said her fans complained about the look (afro).
But only about 1%
And I’m one of those 1% (:
The music was way too loud, but it was a good video. That last part with the guy was hilarious!
great job…the music overpowers the conversations tho.
we should not feel encouraged to look down on women like beyonce and keyshia cole just because they’re light. they are beautiful black women who did not choose they’re skin color. what they did do is celebrate the veratility of black hair.
i don’t like the word nappy always negtive context i like poofy sounds fun. my hair is poofy,lol.
But the point is to not hide your natural nappy hair with a Barbie looking weave (ahem-beyonce)
Bey has pretty spiral curls, but she keeps that fake stuff on her head..whats up with that? Never mind, cuz we ALREADY know
I love my natural hair. It is big and curly, but it is so hard to work with sometimes. I’ll do a bump press at the salon and love itso much cuz I’m not tearing through my hair like when its curly. I’m so torn betwee my love for my natural curls and the easy management with a press
