KINKS COILS CURLS and THE PRESSURE OF HAIR AUTHENTICATION
STOP ACCUSING WOMEN That "THEIR HAIR MUST BE FAKE" IN ORDER for it TO BE LONG
John 14:6 NKJV
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.
No one comes to the Father except through Me.
Hey everyone,
1) Why is it that some persons in society find it difficult to believe that black women and girls can actually grow their hair beyond their shoulders? 2) What has been fueling these stereotype that "her hair is fake," "it must be a lace-front wig", or "she has in extensions"? 3) Why has having long kinky curly hair become unfathomable in the eyes of many? 4) Why can't some individuals separate the identity of long textured hair from hair extensions (wigs, weaves, micro-links, tape-ins, etc.)? 5) When can having healthy long hair, which may be considered by a few to be an "obsession", become a tangible concrete reality for many women, young ladies, and girls? 6) Why are women being forced to prove that their hair is real?
Today's video, we will be addressing these questions & the sentiments surrounding these unfortunately popular statements.

I'm old skool and was unaware of this being a new trend, but I recently had this white guy come up to me in the mall and pull my hair, thinking it was a wig, but to his surprise it's not. Unfortunately for him, I had my son with me, and he runs track, so when the guy took off my son caught him and beat his ass. The police was called and the guy tried to press charges on my son. If we hadn't had all the witnesses coming over supporting us, the police would've arrested my son for assault. They arrested the guy and we are currently suing his ass. He is 17 and his parents are saying he's just a kid. Idgaf they should've taught their "kid" some manners. He got his ass beat, and now I'm bout to beat them pockets 😂

Yes, the 17 year old should go to juvenile or at least be evaluated. He can't be going up and pulling people's hair. Tbh I'm not sure if it was a prank, because to me it sounds like he might have developmental delay or a substance misuse problem. 17 is pretty much grown, almost college age, so wig jokes shouldn't be funny 🥴

@Watching The Background I agree with you but at the same time carefully read what she said, she said everyone assumes its the Hispanic girls hair because the extensions matches their texture. I think if black women would wear wigs and weaves that matched their hair texture, there would be significantly less to question. But majority of black women that wear wigs and weaves tend to wear Asian and Indian hair that is far from their natural texture.

I have had a Mexican Man and Woman approach me and say "wow you are so beautiful if that's your real hair...is that your real hair?" I often throw my hair into a big lazy puff and I was in the checkout line at a store and an older WW asked "is that a piece on your head or your real hair?" I never give them the satisfaction of knowing if it is or isn't, but it started giving me a complex and I wondered why are people asking me this especially when it is my real hair? I have been questioned whether I am wearing my real hair or have natural texture extensions. I have even had people sneak up on me to touch my hair and I had to karate chop the heck out of them.

I appreciate this comment, I agree with what you said. I recently cut my hair short after it being the longest it’s ever been. However it was damaged so I cut it short to let it grow out again healthy.I was hesitant because I finally had hair long enough to “prove” it could grow. It actually took me about a year to finally go through with it. I’m glad I did it though, people can mind their business, shouldn’t have to prove anything to anyone. Especially people that don’t even know you. I love it short! But that pressure is real for sure.

Even though I have proven to myself I can grow waist length hair I do intend to cut it pretty soon, and drastically too. I like pixie cuts, always have. I just wanted to prove to myself that I could grow it if I wanted too, and my husband also asked so I said "yeah why not" It was a learning process all about my hair and me. It was frustrating at times joyous, tiring, because you don't feel like doing your routine, then you stick too it and you can see the growth month by month, year by year. It lets you know that all this time you had the potential to have this long hair you never knew you could have? It makes you feel feminine and beautiful in a way I never had before, especially with my harsh demeanor lol! But people's positive reactions too it would be the only reason I'd want to keep it because they think your so beautiful when you look the same as you always had? It's weird, but I wouldn't trade the experience for anything.

India. They have different traditions for cutting off girls/women’s hair-some positive some negative, such as reaching a certain age or becoming a widow. In addition to that, women have also had their hair stolen, as in held at knife/gun point while someone cuts their hair in the middle of the street. It’s a very shameful experience because hair has a different meaning for women in the country.

@Styliani It's actually safer for her to wear wigs than her natural hair for performances. Plenty of black celebs have said their hair has been damaged from stylists constantly applying heat to it whether it be to straighten it, curl it, ect. Even white celebs experience hair problems from stylists constantly dyeing/bleaching their hair for red carpets, shows, ect. With wigs you can do whatever you want without fear of damaging your natural hair. Cardi B, Normani, Ciara, Nicki Minaj, etc also have really long natural hair but they wear wigs and extensions alot. With the choreography Beyonce does her hair will be all over the place too.

This only happened to me when I moved back to American South. Living in the West and living in Europe I never dealt with this. The first month back (bc I was born in the South), I had a group of girls try to tell me my hair wasn’t real (it was shoulder length and permed) and pulled my hair; this was freshman year of high school, 2012. I punched the ring leader in her face and fractured her nose; the principal tried to give me ISS bc it was "unprovoked" and she was "just curious". My mom came, and when he told her the same thing about it being unprovoked and curious, my mom came around his desk and started opening drawers. He asked what the hell she was doing and she looked him dead in the eye and said in a monotone voice "oh I’m Sorry, I was just curious" He got the point and let me go and gave the other girl ISS. So I understand being tired of it; but I also understand there are very few BW I know personally that wear their natural hair, much less it’s healthy and taken care of instead of braided down in weaves/wigs for months. So I can see both sides, but it doesn’t give others permission to be disrespectful.

We simply cannot exist without being stereotyped and disrespected. I had a similar experience in high school where i was sitting in front of a group of boys in an auditorium. At the time my natural hair was pretty short so i wore a lot of extensions/clip ins. This time i wore clip ins in a ponytail. So while we were waiting for our teacher one of the boys decided to yank my ponytail so hard but luckily/surprisingly it didn’t come off (i had it bobby pinned down so good😭). it was sort of hanging down but you could clearly see the separation from my real hair and the ponytail. I was so embarrassed and everyone was laughing and everything.

They fixed into their own minds that I was ugly and too dark but never appeared that way, in person. It's like they were shocked to see beauty in me. It let me know that they thought I was ugly, growing up, and I feel nothing but hate around them. At every funeral, wedding, whatever, they're like, "she tryna poke out here butt... She thinks she's cute. Lemme pinch your waist." I've had a bbl shaped body since I was 13 and it's brought nothing but shame to me. Saddens me.

Her tone darkened and she said, "Liar." "Huh?" "You should've told him it wasn't your hair." "Um he KNOWS it's not my real hair." "You sure about that..." After some back and forth, she made me feel so bad that I told him it wasn't my hair the next time we hung out. He was like, "I know and I still like it." Smh...the stuff you tolerate in your 20s...

I got weave checked by a dude I was dating. Mind you, I shaved my head three years prior and he saw the whole growth process after that. I was going to pick him up at the airport so I wanted to look cute and did a blowout. Nothing fancy, no flatiron, and pinned it half up half down. I never straighten it or add heat so it was pretty different to see it at mid back stretched out. When he got in the car, he kind of stroked my head in a caressing way, but then I felt his fingers slip through my hair onto my scalp. Did this joker just weave check me?! I must admit it gives you a sinking feeling to be checked like that. It’s as if despite you presenting yourself authentically as who you are, you are not believed. I think he wanted for it to be a wig so he could crack a joke about me later. I suspect (through my experiences with him) he was one of those deep down self hating types who pedestalize “others” for things like long hair and light skin. I’m just so glad my eyes have opened since then.

This kinda leads into why I was so distraught when my hair was damaged and I had to do the big chop! I was petrified that people were going to label me as the “bald headed BW” or the “BW that couldn’t grow hair”. Even though I know that BW can grow long hair like anyone else I knew for a fact that other people thought differently. Then I tried to wear wigs, but then I was afraid of being the “Bald BW that has to wear wigs because she has no hair”. I really don’t think we can win either way.

My self worth doesn’t have to begin and end with my looks and hair length. It’s not my job to school every negative assumption some ignorant bigot or self loathing misogynist has about me. Know your value and learn to be comfortable in your skin even when you aren’t slaying or meeting some fleeting beauty standard that will mean nothing in this wide expanse of time.

For reference I am a white woman, but one day I complimented an elder coworker's hair -- she responded (almost in a whisper) "it ain't mine, it's a wig" -- I said w/o hesitation you bought it didn't you? She looked confused and said yeah....I said "well then it's YOUR hair" (still truth in my mind!!) --- she laughed and was like you know what, you're right it is MINE!! I saw her actually stop herself over the years when others would compliment and simply say "thank you" instead -- what hurt was realizing over time and age, her initial reactions were almost ashamed or embarrassed, instead of proud/ happy or feeling GOOD -- as if she wasn't allowed to accept compliments on her hair. I was very young (maybe 19 or so) and had no idea how she must have felt at times, as my younger girlfriends didn't seem to feel bothered by their hair (whether extensions, wigs or natural). Anyways all that to say, I think it''s beyond rude for someone to ask if someone's hair is real (if it looks good, why not just say that?!!) -- but it's disturbing that anyone would feel they have to PROVE it.....I understand why, I just think it's sad. I truly believe future generations will be so different they find things like this unbelievable!!

I understand but I feel like we are on the horizon of a bigger issue. I brought this topic to the forefront due to the fact that this has actually affected many women in real life as well. Due to the natural hair movement, more and more black women are growing insanely long hair. I think we will begin to hear more black women being assaulted in real life (people grabbing their hair without permission, pulling, tugging) going forward. From what I can tell, what begins as a small online problem, begins to reflect itself in real life. Just look at the BBL trend. Thanks for commenting and stopping by! We appreciate your dialogue.

Absolutely stop proving your hair is yours. And people that pull hair hoping it's a wig to embarrass you for laughs-I had that happen to me in the Fourth grade by another female student who was also a black girl. Also, I am brown skinned, not fair complexioned. This girl who was in the Fifth grade done this in front of crowds of kids in the hallway. She first yelled out, " she's got on a wig," and I was telling that I didn't. Also this girl had been taunting me off and on a few weeks prior to this incident. Anyway I leaned over for to to gently pull my hair which was styled in curly ringlets, and she grabbed my hair rather hard, to where I winced, and all the kids were watching to see her pull off my "wig" which they quickly found out was my real hair. She looked real stupid. The next day I guess to try and make herself self not look ignorant she yelled in front of the other kids I was wearing a wig, but no one paid attention to her, and I never had a problem with her again.

You are seeing more and more BW and girls have their own natural hair down their backs. Our hair had problems growing because we relaxed it to death, only washed it every 2 weeks, and used the same products white ppl used. Now that we have a new understanding of our very unique hair, we're able to take care of it. I told my niece that our hair grows up and out towards God, heaven and the sun, while others grow down. It makes sense to treat it differently. And now, we realize that our hair can grow at Great lengths. Personally I'm starting to see long hair in our community more and more often and I'm loving it.

I stopped using shampoo 3 yrs ago. My reasoning : if shampoo is meant to cut through and REMOVE the greasy build up I DON'T GET.. then WHY am I using it?? I literally use a bar of raw black soap. It cleanses without removing ur natural oils. After I lather with the bar, I add a few drops of black Jamaican castor oil. When I rinse, it feels light, my curls pop, and there's no residue. Oil + an aloe leaf is a great conditioner. No problems growing length whenever the mood strikes now.

We as black women *have* to try at least to grow our hair longer. I have given two African colleagues of mine samples of hair grease mixed with hair growth oils and a small bottle with hair growth oils. One of them was so glad that her hair was finally growing after decades. The other one was able to put braid extensions in her hair when she was on vacation in Nigeria. She says her hair is still growing. This all happened this year, June and August 2023 😊

Sometimes they assume that it will affect you.

So when she saw me, a black girl, as her competition, I didn’t know why she was hating out of the blue. I think one guy she liked was paying attention to me. So she thought racial “status” could “put me in my place”. I was just confused, a little mad that I’m not confrontational, but in the end it never affected how I saw myself because I didn’t care much about how I looked. Now I appreciate what I have.

Like no, I can't tell the difference between a wig, a weave, a perm or a silk press. So if you assume it's wig people will call you ignorant because black people can grow all kinds of hair. But when you think it's the real hair people think you are not educated on Black hairstyles. I would never say something in real life. But I was honestly curious how she would get the glue off.

They correlate beauty with long hair. A black woman with long hair is a threat to a lot of women and men because you don’t fit into the “bald head” box.

Yess! Yes!! It was a black couple standing behind me and my son in the check out line at home goods and the man was "trying" to whisper and talking junk about me saying my hair was fake and I was doing too much having all that fake hair in my head and said altleast make it shorter so it's believable.... well his woman kept telling him my hair was real bc she can tell from fake hair and real but he kept saying no it's fake. I was so annoyed and wanted to part the back of my head with my fingers so bad so my scalp could show but I didn't...I just couldn't understand why a man was so focused on talking about my hair,lol....(they only do that when they are with white women)🤔....but I had a fresh blowout and my hair was a couple of inches from my waist, it's longer now and I hear all kinds of things. I was just at an outdoor wedding with my fresh blowout and two girls were asking another girl if my hair looked real or not , my husband and I heard them ,they were sitting behind us...well let's say it began to drizzle (rain) and my hair got wet and turned into a huge fro so I guess my hair answered their question for them ,lol...

The experience I had was from another black woman who was jealous of my hair. I asked her to put a relaxer in my hair and she did but she deliberately overprocessed it , all I remember is going to the kitchen and washing it out of my hair in the sink and watching tons of my hair go down the drain I was so hurt and shocked I thought she was my friend I couldn't believe she had did that to me deliver early because she was jealous of me for no reason.

More salon horror stories should be shared. Some of the female stylists cannot be trusted when your hair is long. They become envious, and will sabotage and/or ruin your scalp so that it won't grow back. I ended up going to a male stylist and my hair grew even faster. He fingers were stronger, so his shampooing felt like a massage. My hair grew down to my waist in record time. Massaging is key.

She kept talking to someone next to her with the comb that she was smoothing my roots with. I had a 3 inch crusty scab burn band in the front of my head within 2 days. m over time, my edges turned white with little specks of my pigment in it. It looked a lot like chicken skin. It took 3 years for my hair to grow back.

I've had long (waist length hair) basically my whole life. I'm 28 now and haven't had a relaxer in over 10 years. I get asked mostly by black women if my hair is mine and after i verify that it is they start asking what I'm mixed with. Now, I'm positive that if you trace my family tree back far enough you'll find something, but both of my parents are black. I'm black. I didn't realize how big of an issue this was until a few years ago. Thankfully I haven't had anyone try to snatch my hair assuming it was a wig.

Although I am mixed (I’m half black), I have dark skin and long 3b/a hair. Between the ages of 5-13 I had waist/tailbone length hair, and legit every day me and my mom would be stopped by majority black women complimenting me on my hair, but they’d always follow it with the “and that’s all hers?” question. My mom would have to part my hair bc some didn’t believe it. I also would often get the what are you mixed with question as well. It’s sad because you end up feeling like you don’t belong as a kid when people are constantly making your hair a circus attraction, and then little black girls at school either spread lies about what’s growing out your scalp, or they give you dirty looks and don’t like you because you “think your all that”. It created so much divide and I blame the parents for perpetuating the whole good/bad hair.

I don't really use social media, and most of my feed on YT is very curated. So I didn't really know what you were talking about in the beginning, because I never even thought to consider whether it is real or not. But thank you so much for the video, it was very informative! And the wig snatching? What is wrong with people? What if it indeed was someone's real hair? Or one of those sewn (???) in ones (I am not sure what they are called.) That could cause physical harm! And just all in all that is so disrespectful and so violent, even if they happen to wear a wig. You wouldn't go around ripping people's clothing off, or their eyelashes or something. I am truly flabbergasted!

They always threatened to cut it so I kept it short and they found other things to talk about like the way I spoke or try to hurt my confidence. I then grew it out and it’s at my bra strap length. I wear it straight, curly, braids, twists. Im fine, it’s mine and I will never try and prove anything. Great video, thanks for shedding light on us!!!!

A Drill Sgt called me in front of the Platoon and made me take my hair down as she made me take my ponytail down while she search thru my hair. I was also called on in front of the entire chow hall for the same thing as the female Sgt ran her fingers thru my hair and said "I guess it is real!" I was disgusted and humiliated. This was in the 90's. I had this occurred so much over my military career I finally just cut my hair short so I would stop being harassed and sadly to say these were SISTAS!!! 2022 a new generation and history repeats itself. Sista's, Bros,, Anglo Saxons and others we can grow hair!!!!!
