I remember at the beginning of the natural hair movement when there wasn't a variety of hair products out yet, we were using all natural stuff like produce. So, I made a mask one day with eggs and banana. I washed it in a hot shower and I ended up with scrambled eggs and cooked banana in my hair.

Going natural was the most liberating thing I've ever done. To be able to FINALLY break free from years of self-hatred and low self-esteem, and to just be confident in everything I do was so amazing! I learned to start loving myself and standing up for myself after years of being bullied in middle school, high school and college. It just felt so nice to own my personality, learn more about myself and not be afraid to truly express myself. I stopped going to hair salons after I realized how bloody expensive it was to get a hairdo I never truly fell in love with. Now I style my hair myself and it's a lot more fun than sitting in a chair for 6 hours and hating every single minute of it.

crossvizion you can definitely trim your own hair! I’m not a professional but I went to one 3 years after I’d been natural and definitely trimming my own hair and she told me how healthy my hair is and to keep doing what I’m doing barely needed anything cut unlike “trims” of the past.

It makes me feel confident, if am not feeling confident to go outside with my hairI now I just have to do it. And now I love it. I hope my hair will get healthier and that other people will live their hair as well.

@ashleymorton806 4 года назад

My natural hair story is me trying to avoid those people in the mall at the kiosks that sell flat irons. I had been natural for about 5 years and hadn’t put any heat on my hair in like 2 years. I was walking through the mall trying my hardest to avoid the girl at the kiosk but being the pushover that I was I decided to be nice and humor her and listen to her little sales pitch. I was about to leave but she somehow convinced me to let her straighten a little section to show me how well the flat iron worked. She was a black girl herself so I figured it would be ok but boy was I wrong. At the end of the week it’s wash day and the section of hair that she straightened did not revert back. I even tried to do a protein treatment hoping to save it but it remained bone straight. She must have had the heat turned up to the highest setting. 🤦🏾‍♀️ I ended up just cutting that section of hair off. Luckily my hair was a decent length and the damaged section was kind of towards the back underside of my head so it wasn’t noticeable. I was so mad at myself. My instinct were telling me not to let her touch my hair but I let her do it anyway.

@holycrudscones123 4 года назад

My hair horror story: When I was 15 I got a weave that was super tight and I had a dull radiating pain in the middle of my head. I asked my mom if could take it out and she said no because she paid money for it. The pain persisted, and then maybe a week in it started to get really itchy and whenever I would scratch the area red flakes would come out. Three weeks later my Mom finally let me take out the weave, and as she was taking it down she screamed. In the middle of my head the weave actually split open my scalp and I had a wound there. I went to a salon the next day and they refused to treat me because of the open wound. To this day, almost 10 years later, that area is still extremely sensitive and the hair there grows in a different texture from the rest of my head. Maybe a year or two after that incident I attempted to get another weave, and I actually had a panic attack at the salon and had my mom take it down the next morning. The next school day was the first time I ever wore my natural hair to school though and I got a lot of compliments 👍. I have never gotten a weave after that and never will.

@notyouraveragejoe7003 4 года назад

Tyra Smith yikes! Spilt your scalps?! I’m sorry to hear.

@Purplechick101 4 года назад

Oh no, I wish you would have been able to take it out immediately. Someone braided my hair for a sew-in and I had them take out the braid pattern bc I was in so much pain in one spot. But I just got it braided looser and still got the sew in. So when I took my hair out a few weeks later, I also had the red flakes and scabs. Hair got braided so tight it bled... I can't imagine how you felt for 3 entire weeks.

@aminabimpa3264 4 года назад

The same thing happened to me!! I've never been tender haided but to this day in that one spot in the center of my head no matter what style I do. I tear up whenever anyone comes in contact with it.

I have nothing but respect to everyone with afro-textured hair. Its insane how people react to it as if its something crazy when its just what comes out your head, the same as anyone else's. Natural hair is so gorgeous, it can be made into such beautiful and complex styles, or left curly and free, its awesome. I am a non-black mixed person, but when i was a literal child of 14, strangers would grab my hair because it was all the way to my butt, curly/wavy. They would pull it from behind me and ask if it was real. I had people constantly touching me without me knowing bc when your hair is that long you dont feel much unless they pull. It was a nightmare. No one ever respected my boundaries or ever apologized when i told them not to do it. From a YOUNG AGE. I cant imagine the struggle for a black person who has "unbelievable" hair to people. When people do that, its like youre a doll or a toy. Youre not a person. Never touch anyones anything without permission, and if you dont effing know them, dont ask either!!!!!! Its CREEPY. Some people might not mind it but Id rather no one ask and make lots of people uncomfortable instead of just hoping the person youre asking isnt bothered.

@stanfatou2002 4 года назад

Yea it does. Imagine have a big wooly afro on your head and you feel sort of insecure because it's different from the norm. Then all the sudden people start touching you and staring you like your crazy. It happens to me everywhere all the time I just started braiding my hair cuz i hate the attention.

One of my friends started calling me “Mic” as in microphone when I first went natural. I had a twa. He said I looked like a microphone because I was long, skinny, and black. 😑 Some also thought it was funny to put pencils and paper in my hair or gently tug on it to see wether or not I would be able to feel it.

@glorias3746 4 года назад

I understand, I didn’t mind it as much because I’d just decided to deal with it. But I feel like I should of said something then but now I have box braids so they cant put stuff in my hair but they still pull on it like “can you feel that” or “omg I made braids outta braids outta braids haha” and I don’t say anything cause I don’t wanna be rude to my friends. In till one day, this boy in the year above who had been teasing and tormenting last year with his friends about the crappy weave I got, he went to touch my braids and I hecking snapped and yelled at him cussing like a sailor. Thank god there were no teachers around

@Cangeltibon 4 года назад

....came back from England where I always wore my hair with cane rows and two strand twist with a pattern on the side or front with two strands left out. I was taken out of class and my mother was called for me having “unprofessional” hair, that was in the 2000s. She might not mean actually illegal, but treat as unacceptable in society for what naturally grows out of your head and is styled in a fashion that is most healthy for the person.

And of course, she says “yes, few more minutes” 😒 fast forward, my hair ended up super straight and beautiful but y’all ..... MY SCALP WAS COMPLETELY SCABBED!!!! It was very traumatic. My mom never took me back there, thankfully. I ended up going natural 4 years later and I absolutely love it. Our hair is very versatile.

I'm sorry that to this day there are women being stigmatised for their natural hair and some even might lose job opportunities, which is absolutely bonkers. People shouldn't feel entitled to do such things. But then again, it is a sad world we live in.

Takearria Harris you cant read im guessing, cause i said “barely”. And so for ppl like you, i’ll elaborate further. Okay, shes born with curly hair in a latin country boohoo. Shes still highly preferred and not discriminated against legally for that. Thats simply a social thing, she can put that in a bun and thats fixed. If she lives in the US or UK she doesnt even need the bun. Kinky hair? Illegal, and put it ij a bun and it STILL might not be deemed socially accepted bc of its texture.

@shellygarland8766 4 года назад

@Ylnevaeh Stsoh a grandma is nothing. do you think the same dont the same to us? its literally that we have society against it as well, we literally needed laws passed just to wear our hair in the workforce. im not sure how that isn't clear to you. curly hair is not oppressed or ostracized to the same level as kinky hair. one is normal mode difficulty and the other is hard mode difficulty in just trying to live in society

@shellygarland8766 4 года назад

@Ylnevaeh Stsoh yes there are successful black people with kinky, coily hair and locks. our hair texture doesn't change when we wear wigs, weaves or put our hair in "acceptable" braids. laws had (and still are in progress) to be passed for it to be legal for us to even wear our hair in grade schools and the workplace and you question if the discrimination is realistic because YOU, one person who isn't even black, don't see it. we often don't either feel comfortable talking with nonblack people about our daily qualms of being black because people like you act as if we're exaggerating it just because you dont see or experience it. and just because black people GLOBALLY dont speak on the discrimination they face doesn't mean it doesn't exist. they're being actively silenced and especially in Latin countries at that.

I think that the term "toning it down" @ 9:47 really was telling about how "exotic" some people treat natural hair and it's terrible that something that is literally just ur damn hair is treated with any level of animosity or making anyone uncomfortable, its messed up.

i relate so much to the girl who said she feels like an object when people touch her. idk why but people are like always touching me and idk what to do. when it's one of my friends i'll just say no but sometimes it's like random people that i don't know who are just touching me. it should be a common rule just not to touch people.

@ArizonaRain220 3 года назад

ella keer even though I'm white, I get uncomfortable when I compliment someone's natural hair and they tell me I can touch it. Like... thank you, but you're a person with boundaries and I would rather admire your very cute and very fluffy hair from a distance and respect your personal space, but in that moment it's like... which is less rude? Taking up their offer and touching their hair, or making things awkward by turning them down?

I’ve had a relaxer so long that I thought my hair was naturally straight..😔 and I tried to do Bantu knots and everything, came out a MESS!!! Whew I’m happy my mom let me cut it in 8th grade. So anyways, it’ll be 2 years in March and it’s kind of past my collar bone from the back abs past my chin in the front 😊I’m so proud of myself

My friend Jackie would braid my hair and she would actually teach me how to just simply put her hair in a bun. I loved the fact she was comfortable enough to let me do it and it she loved that I actually wanted to learn.❤️❤️❤️

My husband has his hair all natural and in an afro. He loves it, I love it it's been 5 years since he started growing it but gets it cut regularly he says he would never cut it. I love that he feels he can express himself thru his hair, but he also does get looks EVERYWHERE we go. Sometimes it's older people telling him that his hair reminds them of when they were young❤, but some ask him if his "hair is real," "are you wearing a wig," and my favorite "can I touch it." To which I'm usually like nope.

@amberskye290 4 года назад

I’ve always thought I had to pick a side. Either I’m going to be relaxed or natural. Being natural for a couple months now has made me realize although my hair takes more time to do it can still do the things my relaxed hair could + it’s stronger. I love the ability to have a silk press, puff or a wash and go!

I personally still don’t believe in the term “Black Hair” because anyone can have Afro texture hair or 4c etc, but it’s just very rare, but that doesn’t mean that it’s impossible. Whenever I say that people will think I’m crazy or cuss me out.

Every time I see people tell stories of how they were afraid/ashamed of their natural hair I feel like there is something wrong with this world! Like why would you make fun out of someone's given? I see that taking care of this type of hair takes a lot of effort on a daily basis so it really would've been lovely if more people could just appreciate this beauty! And not discriminate people for their looks!!

@MsStarSwordPlays 4 года назад

I love how they pointed out that you shouldn’t just go up to people and grab their hair. I’ve had that done a lot in the past because my hair was down to mid-thigh and I always kept it in a long beautiful braid. People would always come up to me and grab my braid and start messing with it and complementing my hair and it just made me uncomfortable, especially when it was a teacher or someone else older than me, especially older men.

As a Spanish (caucasian) woman, I’m astonished about this video. I mean, I don’t want to doubt your words but it feels unbelievable that someone can judge you, neglect you or tell you how you can or cannot have your hair. I always thought that it was a matter of “fashion”, that you preferred to have it straight or even that it was more “comfortable” to wear it like that and never understood why didn’t you leave your hair your natural way! It’s so sad to think that it was kind of a imposition, or that you felt you had to wear it certain way in order to avoid racism. Now, I want to learn more about this topic, I feel really bad about not having a clue about this issue

I have natural hair and when I straighten it it’s a little past middle back....anywho fast forward I’m getting a fitting room for a lady and my back is turned to her...she then proceeded to PULL MY PONY TAIL😩 there was a moment of silence and me giving her a very questionable look like “did you really just pull my pony tail??” What if It wasn’t real and my whole pony tail slid off into your hand?? What were you going to do then??? I let it go but I totally understand feeling like and object and not a person at that point🙄.

I’m white but I was shock when I learned that the company I work in used to forbid black women to come with their natural hair, and asked them to straighten it, but it was totally okay for a hippie guy to work with us, while he was wearing some kind of long frizzy hair. If they did this to me, I would literally ask them to pay for my hair care.

@marissawilson4644 4 года назад

A couple of years ago, I went to a salon to get my hair braided but the stylist dipped my hair in a plastic container with boiling hot water. The container broke and scalded me on the left side of my body. I went to ER where I found out that I had 1st and 2nd degree burns. This was less than 24 hours before a major presentation for my internship. I still had to go back to have my hair finished after leaving the ER.

@Purplechick101 4 года назад

Yup, someone braided my hair for a sew-in (like my 2nd sew in ever, the first time the lady 'trimmed' my leave out sooooo short) and I had to have the person take out the braid pattern bc my scalp had a heartbeat it was so tight. I needed my hair done so I just let them braid it over, looser. They apologized and said my hair was so thick it was hard to tell how tight they were braiding. So fast forward to when I take my hair out a few weeks later, I had these red flakes and scabs in the spot that hurt... My hair was braided so tight my scalp bled...😔

@arirveo641 4 года назад

Went to a hairstylist who claimed to black hair. She goes to straighten my hair, won't straighten at 320. She turns it up each time my curls stay and finally after burning my hair she says "why won't your hair straighten?" 🤦🏾‍♀️ took about 2 years to revert straightening damage

I am so naive, I guess.

I would never even imagine saying anything to someone about their hairstyle choices. It has nothing to do with how responsible and trustworthy a person you are.
