I hate to say it but, white mainstream. And I don't care what anybody says, you see our hair being stereotyped consistently. In America and everywhere else. I don't care what anybody says, it is. Our hair is compared to everything except hair. And that's a fact.
I would like to state on how incorrect that statement is about how we can’t have diverse hairstyles because of our hair. In fact I think we’re able to have the most diverse hairstyles because of our hair from locks to braids to cornrows and the different variations then we have all the natural hairstyles too you guys should look into these types of things because not all black girl want straight hair or try to achieve this look
Thank you. We have he most diverse hair ever. And our styles are able to last for weeks if not months, unlike certain people hair that only last a day or two
FACTS... it's NOT goals to iron out kinks, waves etc either. It can be done, and it looks good, but so can a million other styles, all of which look dope.
And also the “strong hair” comment…like what? We have to treat our hair correctly or it breaks off- our hair is fragile- the fact we can do so much with it doesn’t mean it’s indestructible- just means that we and our stylists have to be talented AND knowledgeable
In fairness, for me I have heard a whole lot in recent years about struggle around black women’s hair but I haven’t often heard the positive side. I think for a lot of non-black people we just don’t get exposed to the positives as much.
y’all need to hire a black individual for videos pertaining to black folks to get more accurate information and clarity… bc our hair sticks to our scalp?? and we have limited hairstyles?? cmon now
This is the second or third Korean person on RU-vid that I've heard say that our hair "digs into" our scalp and hurts us as it grows. It's beyond my understanding of just where they got that misinformation from. Why would our own hair hurt us as it grows naturally?! I wanna know who told them that?? 😭 For some people who are tender-headed, like myself, it can certainly hurt to comb or brush our hair due to the tension caused by knots and tangles which form since curly hair strands tend to easily wrap around each other. But to say that our hair causes us pain just by growing doesn't even sound reasonable lol. It just sounds so absurd that I find it funny 😩 In my eyes, this kind of misinformation makes it seem like the curly, coily, and kinky hair types are inherently bad. I don't blame Chacha for that by the way! But misinformation is always frustrating to hear 😌
In this video it seemed to me the “stick” may have been a translation error. I’ve seen it with many other Korean to English translations. I felt they meant it curls close to the scalp making it harder to get hot tools in there. But not sure, especially if you’re hearing other places, also about the hurting when it grows. Weird
@@jackanapes1492 The translation is accurate. She actually says that the thick curls dig into the scalp. I have no idea how that rumor started though. No one taught me that in my Korean language classes!
Them being shocked by sew-ins and leave outs was hilarious 😂😂 it’s fairly common that black girls either can do it themselves or have a friend/family member that can
In fairness, I’m white and equally as clueless and was like “whoa!” I only just learned how to do basic blow drying styling. If I had to try to do some of this stuff I just know I’d fuck it up. You guys have beautiful hair and can do amazing shit with it, but I can’t help but feel like I’m privileged because doing a straight style doesn’t take me 1-3 hours.
@@silverstorm1000 yeah right Yte women get alot of clip in extensions so you know exactly what weave is because alot of yte women wear weave and clip in extensions
Why do I keep seeing Korean people say our hair sticks to our scalp and it’s painful for us? That is not the case at all and it does not hurt us when it grows or sticks out our heads 😂

I think it's a misconception that comes from matting. A lot of koreans might only have animals as their irl frame of reference to tighter curls. If you for example have a curly furred dog and don't take proper care of it, the fur tightens really close to the skin and can hurt them. Same with sheep or llamas. That's just my guess as to where the misconception comes from.
The video was intriguing to watch. What I didn’t like, though, was saying black hair has limited hairstyles, specifically for black women. Growing up around black people my entire life, I’ve seen the pride and importance hair has in our daily lives. Our hairstyles reflect that, from the different types of designs in braids and dreadlocks to the variety of curl patterns like waves on black men or tight or loose curls on women. I almost forgot Afro, in which our hair doesn’t even grow out and falls downward like everyone else’s. Black hair stands up, which can lead to a hundred other different types of styles.
The only thing I can think of that possibly could have happened is somebody talked to a black man about his ingrown whiskers and somebody assumed that would be true of all black hair????
can we get a video of them reacting to naturally curly routines and styles ?? as well as more curl patterns. as pretty as straight hair is, I don’t want them to get the idea that, that’s all we do. a lot of us love our naturally curly hair and love to embrace it!!
@@gladitsnotme ya, no. No offense but you don’t seem much in media of women owning their natural curly hair. It’s always been “straight hair is more beautiful and attractive” so it is much better seeing women look beautiful and attractive in natural curls than watching them straighten those curls to become straight
So true, When creating videos on topics like this, it is crucial for individuals to possess a comprehensive understanding and knowledge of the subject matter🥱. It is surprising and somewhat ignorant for individuals to claim that black people's hair is strong, as the strongest and coarsest hair actually belongs to Asian individuals.🤔 Naturally straight hair is considered the strongest hair type, as it is less prone to breakage and tends to grow faster. Caucasian hair may appear thicker because it is harder to see the scalp through it compared to other ethnic hair types. However, Asian hair is known to be the thickest and coarsest among all ethnic groups. On the other hand, curly hair, particularly Type 4 hair, is considered the most delicate and weakest hair type.😅 For individuals with naturally straight hair, it is common to have an oily hair texture. This is because the scalp's natural oils can easily travel down to the ends of the hair, more so than with wavy or curly hair. In contrast, Type 4 coily hair, due to its unique pattern and angles, makes it difficult for scalp oils to adequately lubricate the strands. As a result, Type 4 hair is the most fragile, prone to dryness, and susceptible to damage. However, it is also the most versatile when it comes to styling.😵💫 Therefore, it is erroneous to claim that curly hair, especially Type 4 hair, lacks diversity in hairstyles. 😮💨In fact, naturally curly and Afro-textured hair types are incredibly versatile and can hold a wide range of styles that other textures may struggle with.😪 These styles include intricate braiding patterns, Afro puffs, curly hairstyles, waves, heat styling, hair extensions, twists, and much more.😌
Black women have the most diverse hair and can do unlimited hairstyles; they straighten their hair not to “refresh” but because they want to, or they want to see their full length
I keep hearing Koreans say that when curly hair grows, it gets stuck to the scalp and it hurts. WHERE DO THEY KEEP GETTING THAT WEIRD STEREOTYPE FROM!!!? Our hair does not get stuck to our scalp and it doesn't hurt. The only time our hair hurts is if it gets too tangled and we detangle it too harshly. I wished there was a video that dispels that stereotype. I hear it so many times, its clearly prevalent.
The light skin/mixed girls to darker skin girls ratio 😭 They were all about that 3a,b,c. I’m thankful they were generous enough to throw in one 4c briefly seen from the back 😂. A huge 4b/c afro added would have been nice too. I am not really surprised atp though
Black hair is actually very versatile. Twist, braids, locs, cornrows etc. we can do so much. Also where did Koreans learn that our hair sticks into our scalp and it hurts??? Why would my natural hair hurt? Also black hair is actually very fragile.
The misconception of "black women normally have strong and curly which limits diverse hairstyles"🤣yet we have the most diverse hair that CAN do varying hairstyles than other races. lol
Who lied to them that we have limitations on hairstyles? We can literally go from an afro to cornrows, to twists, to a silk press, then back to an afro in a week. No other ethnicity can pull that off.
I wish you guys you not only watch videos of other cultures, but educate and correct the reactors on their assumptions or false statements about those cultures. I’ve seen some pretty wild cases of misinformation on korea channels reacting to black people. it’s fun content. but if education and awareness can never be prioritized along with this content, it can sometimes be harmful to let these misconceptions go uncorrect, be shared, and then be repeated by viewers
Like..... Ridiculously fragile and soft. So soft that we get bumps if cut it below the skin, the hair usually isn't strong enough to push it's way out.

Chacha our hair doesn't stick to our scalp neither does it hurt. It might hurt if your scalp it sensitive. These are not all Black girls hair. you rarely showed 4c hair or even afros. You mostly showed type 3
He LITERALLY said it backwards😂-- as black/melaninated people, we actually have the Most versatility with our hair. We can achieve the Most diverse hairstyles, not the least diversity, lol. We literally can do Anything with our hair. We can wear it kinky curly, straight and go right back to curly, braid it, wear it wavy, afro it, twist it, braid it down, etc. And usually we all have super thick voluminous hair. Our hair is truly beautiful and so unique!🤗🙏🏽
@@albal-v3869 I mean without the perm For example the girls in this video If you have seen Japanese it Taiwanese people the hair is very black and very straight and thick like wire and the Korean people hair that I have come across isn’t very straight and also there is a difference in the texture
I liked how they sometimes said their natural hair style was cuter. Definitely would of been nice to see more clips where they kept their natural curls; it’s clear they really appreciate the natural curl. Growing up with strait hair, I know the envy of having what we don’t have; same for curly haired I’m sure.
The erasure of dark-skin women with kinky hair is so wild to me. I’m not saying mixed people aren’t Black but when having them be seen as the sole representation to being African American, it becomes harmful. It makes it seem as kinky hair or darker skin women aren’t favorable due to those aspects. Thought that was weird especially when darker skin and kinky hair are most common in African American’s and nothing is wrong with that, it’s beautiful :) The stereotypes that have been spread about African Americans like we’re some exotic alien😭 It’s also wild to me that they have this idea that our hair hurts growing out our head, maybe it’s a mistranslation!? Also our hair is very versatile with endless possibilities!
No one is erasing that. That’s literally the stereotype of what someone thinks is a black woman. I think it’s time to show the diversity that occurs in African features. Besides, just because they’re mixed doesn’t mean they didn’t inherit hair that is more common in African people versus their non-African ancestry.
@@thezu9250girl stfu cuz y’all love acting stupid. Almost every time are mixed looking women used to represent us in media. But when it’s a stereotype they know to envision the mono racial black women. That is harmful cuz it subconsciously send a message that being mono racial blk women is wrong or something. Your comment proved her point. Like it weird how mixed ppl are always included in media and full blk women are left off everytime. Stop gaslighting
@@thezu9250majority of west African women who are purely west African have 4 type hair and dark skin. They aren’t showing the diversity of black features they are showing the diversity of MIXED features. Mixed ppl are mixed. Not black.
This was a very good video about black natural hair. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾My only critique is the PD said we have limited hairstyles when actually our hair can be styled in an abundance of ways. It’s very versatile.
Our hair doesn't stick to our scalp or hurt as it grows. If your gonna do a video on black hair, an individual with 4c or 4b hair should be there to clarify misunderstandings. it's just placing a negative light on black natural hair.
저는 외국인이라서 이상한 말을 쓰면 미리 죄송해요 ~곱슬머리는 강하지 않고 매우 연약한데요. 우리 머리를 스타일링 할 때 굉장히 조심해야 하는 이유예요. 우리의 머리는 많은 다양한 스타일을 할 수 있고 자랄 때 아프지 않 거든요~ ㅎㅎ 곱슬머리일 때 머리가 짧아 보이기 때문에 보통 머리를 곧게 펴서 진짜 길이를 보는 편이에요 ~
The title of the video is a bit odd lol 😅 why not just something like different types of curly hair because honestly not all of them are even black. Much love ❤
Why? Literally all the hair they showed is found in people of African descent. I’m tired of people constantly pretending like as if regions in Africa don’t have typed four and type three hair.
I think there needs to be an education segment too cuz theres a lot of misinformation. Yes therrs some styles that are harder too do depending on the haur type but we tend to have the mkst diverse hairstyles. And our hair dosnt just stick to our scalps
btw as a person with curly hair, I don't straighten my hair because I'm insecure abt it, I do it as a change so don't assume that all of us we do it out of insecurity.
This is what I mean when I say black appreciation. Asking questions and learning without judgement. I love when people from different countries and ethnicities learn and talk about black hair and black culture. When I see these videos it’s usually filled with bad stereotypes, and is very harmful for black people who want to travel outside of America to other countries that doesn’t have a lot of black people.
Not just that, worked in 70s-90s at a teaching hospital, with many foreign residents and interns. The misinformation they had gathered from tv and media not to mention word of mouth about black culture. One even told me that when see got her visa was warned to stay way from black people. Many Asian esp men thought us as tough, strong, no BS women. They enjoyed the black BBQs and jazz clubs . Word got around if one needed help esp in lab and nursing they soon found out which black medical staff would help them.
I’m mixed and growing up I had a lot of asian friends at school. I was one of the only ones with curly hair and even my black friends had perms or straightened their hair most of the time. It was always a sore spot for me and I straightened my hair a lot to “fit in”. This video really warmed my soul ❤
who told the staff that our hair is limited 😭😭 because we have the most curliest, it can do literally every style 😭😭 and our hair doesn’t dig into our scalp at all so idk where they got that from
Side note , our hair is the most diverse hair out there . There styles that we can do that you guys can't do more so would look weird when others do it .
@kiki246810. You are sweet!😊 Having, though, Accurate info is the Key! Our hair comes from various textures, mentioned. We Know and Keep Learning about Our hair! Different Cultures of Blk hair from different Countries ( Africa and other countries from this Continent) and the various benefits they did from ( Ancient ways ) of taking care of Our hair. A lot of Misconceptions come into play! We Are Very Versatile with Our Hair. Some, naturally Curly, Coily, some Straight or the Mixture of both ( depends on Genetics). This will include the Spanish Cultures as well( Brazil, OR, Cuba, DR, Ecuador, Venezuela, etc). I Love Learning, Always, about Our Hair Types and Products( Natural is Better, unless they have Products, not Masking the Hair but is Truly Beneficial for the Various Hair Types). 🐾🦊🌅🌴🦩🌺♥️😎 SHine Forward and Upward!
Maybe you guys love mixed hair types lol. Most Asian people in my family & that I know don’t like 4 type hair. majority of the women in this video are mixed with 3 type hair
Black girls have hair advantages that a lot of cultures don't. They can model their hair to look like any group. They can go from kinky to straight, wavy to frizzy, braids to afro. A huge variety of styles.
No, our hair doesn't stick to our head and cause pain. Depending on the hair type and curl pattern, shrinkage can affect the length of someone's hair. In my case, when my hair is straight, it reaches down my back. However, when my hair is not in its natural state, it appears above my ears. There is no discomfort solely from experiencing hair shrinkage. Pain would only occur if someone attempted to comb my hair without wetting it or providing moisture. I'm not sure where she obtained that information, but it is indeed incorrect and somewhat peculiar.
@OSSC producers, I hope you take the time to read through some of the comments that are being left about some the inaccuracies and misconceptions black hair. Those of us that watch or subscribe like that you explore different topics for better understanding, however make sure to consult with someone form the culture to make sure you do not potentially offend anyone. Most of us understand you don't do it intentionally, and you are just learning. You have had one black content creators before or other platforms, so ask them to come on and maybe explain some of the stuff you saw on these videos.
@@sea-of-skies_ I truly hope you realize that I'm not gonna go back and forth with you on here past this comment. I think black men also have so much versatility that they're able to achieve with their hair, especially when it comes to elaborate braiding designs. They might also find it interesting that some hairstyles tend to overlap between black men and black women. I can at least acknowledge the fact that "brushing a low fade" is a whole process for some black men, usually with the end goal of achieving waves, so that could be something of novelty for the reactors. I'm ending the conversation here :)
Black hair does not stick our scalps and hurt us. Now it does tangle and kink. Some hair textures tangle more and some less. If you don’t comb it brush to maintain it, it becomes matted. For those who are tender-headed, combing those kinks out may cause discomfort for them. Other than that. Our hair does not hurt us.
The way they were talking about blk hair like it was so matter of fact has me baffled 😂 like bffr ...... Who in the actual hell told y'all these things 😂
Cardi B had a wig and you can straighten/curl it and even wet it For some woman we use protective styles like braids and twist because it helps our hair grow. We can wear wigs but we font always wear them (not all black people will wigs). There are different type like a V part, half wig or even a lace front. You can have hair crochet on your head, sewn in , clipped on or braided/twisted. It does take an hour or more to braid our hair and same thing wirh straightening our hair depending on length, hair style and thickness. Curly hair can be long when straightened but it takes more time to do and the weather constantly changes so some prefer wigs and others like me prefer our natural curly hair that takes less time to do. We can make our hair shy by using hair oil, stray/oil for anti frizz or to help strengthen our hair. Generally we braid or twist our hair down, before we put on a wig
Not to be rude or anything, but why is this a shock?? Have they never seen a black girl with natural hair? I feel like South Koreans are not the best when it comes to knowing that different races exist and with differences also come with different hair textures and styles. Our hairstyles are not limited, and we have the most diverse hair in the world, which make our hair unique. Some South Koreans should be a little bit more open-minded and realize that black people's hair can do almost anything and look any kind of way that it wants to and that we aren't exotic people just because we do have darker skin and a more stiff type of hair.
They live in a relatively homogenous country. Why would they just magically know these things? They have their own media and social media content. So they’re not gonna see the same stuff you see on the Internet.
Our hair isn't limited let's get that one thing straight. What other hair type can do Afros, braids literally none. We have the most diverse hair in the world.
I just want to say that the idea that our hair sticks to our scalp and hurts is 100% false. It's not true at all, and I've seen multiple Koreans say it as if it's fact. It's not, it's not true. Our hair grows out of our scalp like any other person's hair, it's just curly.
who was raised in America, I have had the privilege of being exposed to various cultures, benefiting from the diversity that America offers. It is important to acknowledge that South Korea, unlike America, does not possess the same level of cultural diversity. Consequently, many South Koreans may rely solely on the information available to them through the internet, as their exposure to other cultures is limited. While it is true that foreigners do visit South Korea, it is essential to recognize that the majority of South Koreans primarily reside within their own country, simply because it is their home.
In America our hair is seen as mmmm.. unkempt, but they (WE) feel it is beautiful. These ladies are human enough to say they wish for our texture, our thickness. I've learned something surprising and sweet ❤
I don’t think it’s really on for that one girl to say what she thinks or heard about her hair without actually knowing. It makes me upset ppl are telling others these lies about our hair
The video of cardi b was it supposed to be humorous cause that’s clearly a wig but she does have several videos of her beautiful long hair, Also to clear up a few misconceptions… Black people hair doesn’t hurt when it grow , sticks it just grows normally like everyone else’s also hair type and density is based on genes some blacks have really good hair… also i see alot of questionable women on here for black “women” no shade we love the mixed girlies as I am one myself hispanics and blacks hair is similar in some ways but I feel like these videos are always like backhanded if someone has nice good hair it’s not always a wig
@@guinep Hair that’s in good condition meaning no dead ends, healthy from root to tip what else..? You was looking for someone to attack because you thought i meant texture/ kinky, nappy no.
Even if you chemically straighten your hair, it still takes a lot of heat and work to get it nice and straight. My hair is silky and soft when straight... but it takes so long! And just a little sweat or humidity to undo it 😥 So I just keep my natural curls and wash and go.
How these women react with the transformation of the hair and their compatibility, is how I look at K-pop idols and hair color. I am thinking like: seriously how can you pull off that hair colour.
