Bless you and your village thanks fpr blessing us eager to know more about diff cultures. our american education system only tell us wat they want us to know. Blessings
They may not have a hot comb in her village so she has to improvised the method by using the broken pieces of clay pots, as a hot comb. Intinuity I'd say.
In india, especially in southern India as u do even we use coconut oil to moisturize the hair and nearly 95 percent of your daily activities, food preparations, the houses and ur environment all look similar to ours, I think that is the proof that we migrated from Africa. thank you for sharing the visuals 👏👏👏💐
I thought she was doing a press but she was drying her hair. I can definitely see the similarities between Africans and Black Americans hair care. We both have wash day. I love it and I am so proud of my African roots even though I am a Black American. 🖤
You mentioned that any dead hair has to be collected and burnt. That quickly got my attention because as a young girl growing up in the Caribbean 50 years ago, my grandmother and great aunts always collected and burnt their hair after combing. I had no idea it was an African tradition . It is very interesting fir me to learn about the similarities between African and Caribbean traditions.
@@tyb4839 The burning bush told Moses I AM WHAT I AM, so The Creator must be FIRE such as the Sun that provides Life to our solar system. Or maybe the Creator is simply MATTER, WIND, FIRE and WATER since nothing at all can exist without those things. All I know for facts is the 💩 they taught and are still teaching is a LIE LIE LIE and if you ask The Holy Spirit/The Helper/The Teacher you’re guaranteed to fined out chile! 😮💨🤦🏽♀️ They sitting up here screaming jesus jesus and ain’t nothing but another man told them to do that. And THAT’S what happens when you listen to man instead of Thee Lordt 😂

@@cleidecastro714 You are speaking presumptuously and ignorantly.. She, straightening her hair, has absolutely nothing to do with loving straight hair.. . On the contrary.. We love our natural hair because it's strong, very resilient and is textured. Which means we can do many many things with it, without damaging the hair. Textured black hair, is the most versatile texture in the world. Unprocessed Virgin black hair is extremely tightly coiled. So, when it becomes wet from being washed, it automatically shrinks.. returning back to its naturally tightly coiled state. The purpose of straightening our hair, is for MANAGEABILITY IN ORDER TO BRAID & PLAIT OUR PATTERNS WITH EASE. Our hair, in the process of drying, becomes very strong, stretchy and resilient ( like strong rubber bands) and must be managed (trained) with heat, conditioning herbs, natural butters, oils & conditioners in order to prepare it properly for our complex and very intricate braiding, knowing, twisting or locking hairstyles. It's also straightened in order to curl or style the hair quickly and efficiently. Again.. . We straighten in order to make the process of braiding quicker & more manageable for the stylist and ourselves..
It’ll be so cool if you guys created clay combs, so you can have a hot comb to stretch the hair. That way heat will be distributed around the hair evenly, and you can work in sections. Loved the video, please keep them coming 💗
I'm from the US, and I actually enjoy using the soap bar to wash My hair as well ..I was speaking with a group of Women and they all thought it strange and agreed 'Yes' that I am the only one who does this ..turns out I'm not ..LoL ..Thank You for ur Content !!!
@@theloveyourfacegal2773 ..indeed ..iLOVE it even more now ..Thanks for the reminder of what We do for the Environment when We Wash our Hair this way !!!
@@3NSII liquid shampoo dries the hair it as well (sulfate/ clarifying) , which is why conditioner is needed... Unless you you shampoo with a moisturizing shampoo. But there are shampoos that come in bar form.... I like black soap, and I use it on my body AND hair.. I also use doctor Bonner's bar soap, on my body and hair. You use less soap/ shampoo when its in bar form.
Much respect to you sister! I am US born but 92% African but blood from Afro-Carribran parents. I loved staying in the villages when visiting and living in Benin and Nigeria. Learning the ways of my ancestors and distant cousins. I promise you the village ways are so beneficial using what Mother Nature has given us. I laugh at the ignorance of slave descendants and ignorant people who say a hot comb is easier or this or that is easier. So spoiled! Of course you can attain and afford a hot comb but what makes teeth so close together BETTER?! When the hot comb was fashioned by an African-American woman who modernized the comb after what you are showing us?? Please stay encouraged and keep teaching people how to live in a village or in foreign cases Off-grid should the poop hit the fan or worse have a geological disaster which has recently happened knocking out power. No power, no gadgets. Bless our ancestors and those warriors like you who show the beauty of simple living. P.S. Your skin is beautiful Masha'Allah (praise YAH!) To note: I was taught to guard and burn or flush hair as well growing up.
Parabéns pelos cuidados, conheço gente que sempre diz desculpas para não se arrumar tendo condições de comprar itens para dar beleza aos cabelos,mas ficam com preguiça e ficam feias ,mas você na sua humildade e criatividade está mostrando que mesmo com poucos recursos pode ficar maravilhosa! Eu nunca vi esse método em toda a minha vida e achei interessante,mas cuidado para não queimar o cabelo ❤️🙏🏼
I am from Jamaica and I love the African accent. I had a big red comb like that. My grandmother used to burn her bits of hair also. Glad you were not badly hurt. It's fascinating to see you straighten your hair with that.
pensei a mesma coisa, sou negra e meu cabelo é crespo, demorei muito tempo pra aceitar meu cabelo por conta do padrão de beleza, mas com o tempo aceitei meu cabelo da forma que ele é, e me libertei.
Whether we all like it or not, with the way chip implants, economical crisis, poor worldwide security ( e.g school shootings), etc. This would be the safest lifestyle we'd all have to adopt. If I can't afford electric dryer, or a salon, or other civilized materials or lifestyle, these are natural things I could always find available. I choose to learn from all these, so that I won't be stranded when am being restricted by so-called government bills. This is wisdom!
l love and respect indigenous independence in every spectrum of life... living outside of western/european capitalism worldwide cycle of domesticated construct built on the back of atrocities committed against others...
They are definitely playing a role in capitalism. There is no way to live outside. They happen to be on the poorer side of capitalism, but they are indeed a part of it. Just a different level. It's a global cancer.
Ms Dosha you remind me of my childhood I had the same texture of hair as yours and I used to strengthen or soften it with a rock just the same concept as yours. That was in the 70"s owning a stretching come or going to the salon was costly. Thanks for reminding me .
Whoosh!! I would never in this world think that a broken piece of a pot could do that. Definite points for creativity. I could never stand the hot comb. I only use a blow dryer when I take out my braids.
@@beautifulone5509 Culture has no beginning and no end, each time a group of people migrates or loses a war, the men are killed and women and children absorbed into the new tribe/country, culture is a building block, not a complete structure that is fixed in place. It is always evolving with no clear boundaries. Why all the insults? Peace. #signedspoiledafricanamerican
good job. Do you not have the hot comb, or pressing comb that we have used in the USA for yrs. used always before the hair relaxers. You put on the fire, and it heats up, a metal comb that last forever, and combs the hair as smooth as you could ever want it. Some still use it . I am sure you have them or can be imported, and should not cost much. But use it only when the hair is dry and oiled.
Legal diferentes modos de alizar cabelos ,é muito trabalho usar pedaços de telhas para alizar os cabelos mas parabéns o importante é cuidar dos nossos cabelos ,🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤❤💖💖💖💖❤❤❤
Here in America we do, similar as you, we use ojon oil, or coconut oil, and we braid the hair to dry overnight then we unbraid and use heat on each section, then we wrap the hair around the head and secure it with hair pins and wrap a scarf. In my family we do not wear our nature hair in public, we use hijab or scarf. Our hair is sacred and we also burn our hair in secret. And we don't allow people to touch our hair. I suspect this custom must have come from Africa because its a family thing...
We use 4-5 fresh lemon juice and squeeze it directly into the hair rinse it off then afterwards we use scraped coconut cream and squeeze the cream directly into the hair, we either leave it on or rinse off the access cream, lastly we comb the hair and plait it. Note the fallen hair pieces must be kept and buried in the sand.
Interesting!!! We do have a hot comb here in the U.S. but I believe many people have rynned from the hot comb and just go natural. I cannot remember the last time I did hot comb. I love how you made use of your broken pot.
I love how this is made by a black person and not a white RU-vidr trying to prove how liberal he or she is by helping the African village in an attempt satisfy their own narcissism.
Right cause every time a white person does it, it must mean they are all narcissists by your logic, right? Makes zero sense you could have stopped at "I love how this is made by a black person" but you decided to continue and added a dash of racism in there too.
Yes I think this is what the Western media misses in their portrayal of Africa and Africans. Their everyday life is so similar to ours, just in a different environment. She's just like you and me, she just lives in Africa that's all.
Or a white missionary trying to "save" people from their poverty and culture only to make them dependent on western economics while they rape the country of its natural resources. Looks like this lady is managing great without going shopping, having a expensive car and being in debt and having to go to a low paying job where the manager threatens to fire you if you have a schedule request. We have more to learn from her than she has from us.
In the US we primarily use shampoo - a liquid soap vs a bar or powder - to wash our hair. When I had long hair I used conditioner to help detangle my hair. I wear my hair very short so it’s just a mild shampoo and dress it with almond oil or a little bit of light gel. 💕
"As I am" actually started creating bar shampoo, bar conditioner and bar leave in condition. You can find them on their website or amazon. A few black youtubers from the US have reviewed them. Its marketed to be better for the environment as there is no use of plastic containers
Thank you for sharing about your life and culture🙏🏻❤️. Also I am incredibly impressed with your dexterity in reference to not melting the combs. You've got mad skills my friend. 💯
🇺🇲In America we go to the store, buy products, use running water inside a house, and plug a blow dryer up using electricity,or go to a salon, it probably takes a lot less time than the method you're used to
You are such an amazing fellow African girl Am so proud of you darling, this channel inspires me a lot and makes me to value culture and it teaches me how to be simple and real while creating any content on my RU-vid channel. Watching your contents every now and then has impacted wisdom on me and has given me Reasons not to quit RU-vid because at this point am kind of depressed, have been on this platform for years yet still struggling to get one thousand subscribers (1ksubscrbers) is really challenging and painful but watching your growth, your energy and how real and simple you are strengthens, encourage and give me hope of making it someday. My prayers is to get to at least 1ksubscribers as soon as possible and I pray for God blessing, protection and provisions to you and all your fams&fans. Your energy is superb. I sincerely appreciate your hard work and I want to say a big thank you my darling keep pushing keep uploading I love y'all
Nada impede uma mulher de se arrumar e ficar linda obrigada por mostrar como é grande o trabalho que você tem para cuidar do cabelo mas vale a pena, parabéns
Asalm o alekum mis dosha I'm surprised to see this method it's really amazing last day when ur water drop I was surprised why u take the broken pieces bt today u done an amazing work. How many time u wash ur hair in a week....
I'm so glad I came across your video you are so talented to be able to do your hair with no mirror and you have such a beautiful completion and your skin is so flawless 😍
Why don't you let your hair dry first, then braid it. Then press ur hair with the fire. So thus won't burn or break ur hair off. I love ❤ the straighten method.
Thank you for sharing. I am from the Dominican Republic and I have Spain and Africa in me, so I love to learn about how things are done in Africa. Gracias 🙂
you are a very down to earth woman you are so creative and amazing you make do with what you have i like how you press your hair with the pieces of clay pot very clever my sister blessing to you and your Family peace
Watching all the steps you go through makes me grateful for having running water inside the apartment. I thought you were going to put your broken pot back together using the fire. What was the fire for? Warming the water? The simple things we take for granted (clean treated water). Plus, having a basin or sink inside for washing. You do a good job of NOT wetting your beautiful cotton dress while washing your hair. I MUST use an oil based soap (Eucerin) for bathing, because I have sensitivity to perfumes in my soap. But for my hair I use "Head & Shoulders" shampoo to discourage dandruff or dry scalp.
@@chandracox6814 Yep, Chandra, I thought the same thing! What part of the video did Vickie Adams didn't understand. 🤔 Even a child could see the broken piece of clay was used in place of a straightening comb/hot comb. Secondly, one could clearly see the "before" and "after" look of her hair. No matter how well a video is prepared or explained...some people will still asks questions or make dumb comments because they didn't pay attention. This video was great and easy to follow. It's shocking to know some still can't follow or figure it out!😲🤔
