Natural Hair Love + Affirmations | Wash Day Short Film 

I wanted to post this in January to start the New Year off with some good vibes but February is just fine and also fitting since it's Black History Month :) Much love to you all

this deserves to go viral!!!! but if it doesn't just know that your content IS touching people AND changing lives. Never forget your impact Mrs. Sudani even if it isn't as big as it should be.

This needs to go viral. Our Generation need to break this self hating cycle.

Yesss we are soft and kind people with hair that deserves the same kindness we’re capable of giving others

I love this. Please put the affirmations on a loop so we can play it on wash days! This is beautiful

Watching this broke me down to tears. Girl we’re hair twins! Got to a point where I had to loc my hair to avoid dealing with its 4C-ness and now I’m thinking about loosening it again. But thought I’d do some research this time, not realising that this was what I needed the most. Love for my hair in whatever shape. Thank you for sharing this and giving “us” a face.

First and foremost I gotta say you are BEAUTIFUL omg. Secondly I wish more naturals posted affirmation/asmr style natural hair videos! Wash day shouldn’t be a rushed battle.

The part when the voices were saying all those mean things hit too close to home. I almost felt like crying lol but tysm for sharing your experience because it’s nice to see that people have went through the same things. I sometimes forget it’s not only me. I love the emphasis on loving your hair exactly the way it is because so many 4c videos are about altering it or being annoyed it. keep spreading your message on here and your amazing blog because you’ve really changed my perspective on self love 💕 💕

I loved this! I love my hair, I think she's her own entity, I am very gentle and tell that she is beautiful and ask her to grow as God intended.

You honestly helped changed my relationship with my hair and the way I take care of it thank you 🩵🫧🫶🏿

Thanks for the help! Hair trauma is real in the black community and just by one person or video put out at a time, we can plant the seeds around the world to start loving and understanding our hair more. Loving our hair in its most authentic and unmanipulated state is also a form of activitism against anti-blackness.

I literally started wearing my hair shrunken since I saw your 4C hair series. You are an artist and your ability to communicate is so commendable!! I was getting so frustrated with my hair and she didn't deserve it. My hair and I are in a much better place as a result ❤. Thank you Yar!!

I actually feel safer to embrace my natural hair more after watching this

yar i’m forever impressed by you, your talent, your work, and your message

You inspired me to take better care of my 4C hair, thank you 🥰🤍

Every Black woman needs to play your affirming words on wash day, regardless of how they wear their hair. We all need more natural hair love and respect ❤

This is such a beautiful message Yara. I love your perspective on natural hair!

You are sooo Beautiful Black Queen! 👑 I love this video and all it embodies and I am proud of you for being PROUD✊🏾 To All my Black Sisters: Our hair is a symbol of our Power, to try to make our hair or any part of ourselves like the melanin deficient gives them what they want. DONT. Theyve wanted to be us since the beginning, God made no mistakes in the way He made you, you are handcrafted, intentional, and SO LOVED🖤 Pour into yourself and remember: BLACK is BEAUTIFUL🙌🏾

This is one of the most beautiful and healing videos I've ever seen. I love how cinematic it is too! I'm definitely going to keep this one on loop before I wash my hair 💕 4C hair is like a pretty fluffy cloud, it's a shame Eurocentric standards have brainwashed people into thinking it's not beautiful. Thank you for the reminder to check out your blog - the thoughts in your posts are amazing and very relatable!

I’m being dead serious…you should consider modeling (face modeling or modeling in general if you have the height). You literally look like you can do high fashion runway shows or be like a cover girl.

I just found your channel a couple days ago and happy that I did. I hope you post more if you have the capacity to. Ive always relaxed my hair. However, ive recently been diagnosed with CCCA (alopecia) and did the big chop and beginning the process of learning and loving my hair in the natural state. Your earlier how to videos have been so helpful for me!

LOVELY! GREAT AFFIRMATIONS! I appreciate you sharing your journey. GREAT VIDEO and LOVELY HAIR!

this was such a beautiful idea, this is a great short film for BMH!

This video was very needed. I could feel the anxiety in my body start to shift around while you were speaking.

your hair is beautiful

this is ABSOLUTLY BEAUTIFUL

What a beautiful and unique video! I love these affirmations and wearing natural hair- particularly type 4 hair is truly an act of courage. Thank you for your work and encouragement 🫶🏽

you are such a beautiful person. the energy throughout this short film was so peaceful and heartwarming 🤭

This is so beautiful! I have not seen anything like this! with the focus on being truly gentle with type 4 hair! Thank you

I felt this. I've been wearing hair in crochet braids back to back for a few years. Next week, I plan to take them out and wear my hair in its natural state. I'm gonna play this video again on my wash day. Thank you so much for making this video. ❤

How do I love this video a million more times? 😢❤

Here from TikTok. Love this! So well done!

this is so beautiful

Yar this is great omg

When you were lying down and reflecting on all the bs said to your about your hair I gasped bc I have heard each and every one of those things smh

Thank you so much for this, this is just what I needed. I’m finally accepting my hair and embracing simplicity in taking care of it, but even in that I have recently treated my hair as some problem to solve when it comes to taking care of it: Being heavy handed to be efficient/fast, or only focusing on how to make washing as effective as possible) This mindset has actually slowed me down and made washing more stressful. No matter what happens when I wash my hair, I always feel satisfied when I go into it loving my hair and wanting to make it healthy and happy. This reminded me of that and I’m going to go wash my hair rn lol

ahh this is awesome i teared up at your affirmations

This is beautiful, it needs to be put up as a natural hair movement ad ❤❤. I'm from South Africa and I have 4c hair, and ever since I was young I used force with my hair because that's the only way i knew how thanks to my mom hurting me everytime she tried to style it when i had to go to school. And whenever i would cry and try to tell her that she's hurting me she'd just scold me and tell me to cut it if i dont like being hurt and hearing that, that would hurt me as a kid and I'd bear the pain so she doesn't tell me to cut it again, because I've hated the idea of cutting my hair even today i still hate that idea. Knowing that you need force in order to deal with my hair, but looking at this I felt a sense of guilt that I treated my hair with such harshness growing up not knowing that being gentle was the thing, I even did locs because I hated how much my hair would hurt whenever someone was doing my hair or when I tried doing something to my hair. But looking back I and the people who touched my hair could've been much more gentler with it. Thank you so much for this, I now know exactly how to treat my hair when I get rid of my locs ❤❤. This made my day honestly, thank you ❤

Beautiful 😍

I love it, thank you for creating this. Will say the affirmations on wash day.

I love this❤

Yar most be protected at ALL COST!

I love this!!! It really was good for me to watch. You go girl!!!!

This reminds me of an essay I wrote for English class one day. If you want you can read it down below❤🙂 I had done my hair, but this time, it was done without any extensions at all. This time it was all my real hair. Though I thought my hair was short because it was so curly that it would shrink up, whenever it was doused with water, my hair would be weighed down and hopefully look longer and maybe even move when I swung my hair. In the year 2020 I went to the lake for a ‘Fourth of July BBQ’ to celebrate with my family and friends. I thought my hair looked pretty and was proud to go outside with it just as it was, especially to the lake that day, so that I could wet my curly hair. In the afternoon, after I returned home from the BBQ. I rested calmly on one of the couches in our living room. Soon after that, my auntie approached me. She asked me about me getting my hair done. She wasn’t insulting me. She asked with genuine intent. Yet I was bothered by the question. I thought my hair was already done, and that it was already beautiful. Apparently we had two different Ideas of what 'done' hair looked like. Furthermore, different generations of black people have different opinions and ideas on tightly coiled hair. It tends to be the older generation of black people nowadays who prefer their hair neatly done in braids/plaits with extensions or straight/straightened hair. Not necessarily plaits of their natural curly hair; especially if their hair is short, like my hair was. As a black girl with coily hair, if you do not wear your hair in a certain format, your hair might be called nappy, or unkempt. In my case it was, without ill-intent, a woman, in essence, telling me my hair wasn’t done, after I had just done it. So I was confused and shocked. In the 90s the relaxer was very popular. The relaxer was used to take curly hair and make it permanently straight. As relaxer sales have gone down since around then, today it is more widely-accepted for a black girl to wear her hair curly even if it is tightly coiled. As the new generation of black people are accepting and wearing their hair as it naturally is, hopefully the older generation of black people who think this way and anyone who might have the idea in their head that black hair is not ’done’ if it is not loosely curled, straight, or just because it wasn’t plaited with extensions may change their opinions for the better..

Thank you, I just heard about in a reddit post and came your channel. I was supposed to go out with grandma just now, I got my hair ready. I've been learning to let it keep the natural texture instead of fully picking it out and making it look like this perfect globe, which it isn't. Sbe made it a problem saying : are you gonna get it done, dreads? Braids? Or are you gonna cut it. But you need to shape it up it doesn't look that good. Just going on and on about my hair. Just what the he'll is wrong with my hair texture? What makes It look bad?

❤❤❤

Could you do a ‘week in my hair’ video?

Can you please do a video on how to trim 4c hair or like the way that you would trim your hair. Some people straighten then trim in a certain way. But I know some people don’t like using heat. I’m honestly just curious on what you think is the best way to safely trim 4c hair even without heat, because I know it’s possible but I just think it’s more difficult because of the curls and shrinkage. I’m not sure if you use heat or not to trim.

I think the Lord may have led me to you today. We have similar hair. God bless you sister.

I just found this channel coz im going natural. But you haven’t posted in 4 months. I hope that all is well with you

I am checking to see that you are ok, come back soon.

You are beautiful

I love you eo much
