Ayo I SWORE I wasn’t gonna say anything and then here you go🤣🤣 I couldn’t take my eyes off of it….This is my first time watching this person so initially I thought it HAD to be a joke… Like some sort of inside joke with her subscribers? I’m still not sure. I’m so confused about this and it’s upsetting me🤣🤣🤣
@@a.r.m.ycypher6645 I scrolled way too far to find your comment! The audacity is wild to me but I wonder if I’m the only one who noticed a fairly recent uptick in them grifting, profiting and building whole channels on reporting on our business. Something feels off about it and I noticed all these channels suddenly popping up gaining significant traction from this specific trend. Like why isn’t your channel focused on your own culture’s traditions, trends, relationship issues, drama etc? Imagine a Black American building a financially profitable social media channel based solely on reacting to and critiquing Africans. 😏
@@iAquarius202 Okay! I thought I was just going crazy seeing these specific channels popping on my feed!👀 They're out doing all this talking about our culture but don't know the history about it. Just talking shit to be talking shit🙄
It’s texturism IMO. They’re trying to convince folks that the baby hairs is what the rest of their heads’ texture LOOKS like. Baby hairs … I do NOT get the appeal.
It makes the wig look more fake, it doesn’t even blend in really bad. Thank you for making this video you’re doing great service. Might as well get proper fringe. Baby hair and the bush big eye lashes need to go
Back then it was just our edges. As far as back edges, that's the hair you don't want tightly manipulated because it hurts and it will break off, especially if your hair is braided. If you slick it up in a ponytail it will stick out. Not everyone has edges that need to be styled.
Girl, you are on here talking about baby hairs and you are 100% right on every point BUT you need to glue down your wig or pull the scarf down lower because a glaringly, lifting, lace wig front is NOT a good look. Especially whilst highlighting other people's bad hair choices. Oh the irony!😂 You are still beautiful and cute though, irrespective.
In all honesty, edges shouldn't be migrating like that and touching her eyebrows. When I saw the picture, I thought she had a couple birthmarks on her face. These women are so saddening.
What kills me is that they look absolutely crazy! And then mess like "Oh she ate!" And "Oh she ready!" When in reality, these girls ate TF up! Everyone needs a loved one, that will jits laugh at them, to their faces, when they do stuff like this! And I am that loved one, for several people! 😹😹😹
Why are your baby hairs covering your eyebrows? Why are your eyelashes blocking your eyesight? What's wrong with natural looking lashes enhanced with Mascara and natural looking falsies? It is getting ridiculous!
Its funny cause i always wanted to be able to make my hair look like these girls, but then i recognised theres alot of girls who have this hairstyle, and i dont want to look the same. My hair is quite fine as it is but theres no way my hair would survive this style anyway, i guess my lesson learned is just because somethings trendy doesnt mean i should jump on the same train.
This was a trend also in the late 1980's early 90's. LL Cool J even rapped about but back in the day it wasn't as outrageous as what they are doing now.
I’ve hated this look for a long time. They go way too far. Back in the 90’s when LL Cool J said in his song “Baby Hair pumping” that’s when we actually brushed out ONLY our true little baby hair’s and laid them down. Now, they’re just slicking half the front of their hair down in over exaggerated swirls. It looks stupid af. Especially on an older woman. Oh how I hate it so. I’m with you😩🙄
Honest I don't see why it matter. The problem is people want everyone to conform or be trendy. I like baby hairs personally but mine are simple and modest, but it's because I have a big forehead oh and mine are always natural. People need to learn to live and let live.....
Those fake baby hairs doesn't look natural. The hairs are not connected to the scalp. I guess the more unnatural, the more beautiful the look in their eyes. Beautiful is in the eyes of the beholder. IMO
My niece who's half indian and half haitian had a head full of hair and her curly baby hairs would cover her whole forehead when she was a BABY! And the baby hairs last until she was 2yrs old. Now at 21. She still have long nice curly Indian hair. She will corn braid it back and install straight wigs and doing all this fake baby hairs. I would show her her baby pictures with her baby hairs. I told her you to grown for that and leave her real hair alone.
Baby those baby hairs be down to their eyebrows. It really is not cute and the eyelashes looks so stupid. Some ladies eyelashes are so big it is weighing down their face. I have heard men talking about how ridiculous we look.
I hate the baby hair look because it immediately looks fake. I hate it. I want my hair to look natural. The first and last time I got a wig installed the stylist was so confused that I didn't want baby hair and when she was done I realized she didn't know how to do a nice wig install without baby hair. Also I wouldn't want that shit on the back of my neck. It would drive me insane with that feeling
I find that when I ask for natural styles when I go to the beauty salon, nail salon etc, they don’t know how to react/ stand-offish. They’re so use to getting these exaggerated requests and everyone asking for the same thing that they don’t know how to take it.
Literally some of my baby hairs are as long as bangs. I’m Native American tho. I always wear my hair back I have to use pomade to keep them in control. My baby hairs are wild. I just checked how long they are and they go down to my nose!
I'm ready for the trend to end. I've had girls bother me because I don't do baby hairs. I'm not a baby ! My hair grown. Leave baby hairs where we left those crazy faded eyebrows
@@kearrabrantley1175 It’s the truth. I guess someone got mad and reported my post underneath someone else’s comment. Men do be talking us like fools with long windshield wiper lashes and baby hairs down to our eyebrows. It is not a cute trend at all and looks stupid
Baby hair is originally the hairline that a person has that consists of small hair strands that are thin and short that didn't fully developed. Black women already lost it with the gelling her edges down but vellus hair is natural not artificial and trendy.
The lady with the back baby hairs were kind of cute. They’re trying to mimic the hair of women with looser textures. A lot of Indian & Arab women have actual baby hair that lay on their forehead & nape
It's anti blackness and assimilation. They are reinforcing "good hair" and will defend it viciously..our sisters are so lost I dunno if we are coming out of this own. The only race of women so obsessed with wearing others beauty. Depressing.
most baby hair styles require u to have type 4 hair so i don’t see how thats texturism… i have 3b hair and its hard for me to do my baby hairs bc of how loose my curls r so im confused
@@sydani1887 (1) the want to slick down type 4 in a very slick manner does come from texturism because racist colonizers deemed it unkempt. (2) growing up, the only people who had any kind of baby hair that naturally laid on their heads were girls with looser hair textures and many of them being non-black. This is just my experience. Wanting type 4 edges or baby hairs to lay down the way most black women do it, looks very similar to what women with loose hair types have. Some have “long” baby hairs. It’s just natural on them.
I have baby hairs on both sides of my hair and if i don't lay them I look like Einstein, as they stand up sideways and wirey with a life of their own, pointing north, east, west and south. But there's not much there, so it's very natural looking, barely noticeable and frames my face and stops me looking like a crazy scientist. But that said, these are not edges or baby hairs, its the whole surface and adults that need to leave the house and get a job. The fake baby hairs are wild but those big thick razored to the side of the eyes look awful. I'd prefer my baby hairs grew at least to teenagers so i could slick them back, but they don't. As for laying the baby hairs at the back, I don't have time for that, if I can't see it, it's not your business. Im glad people are finally talking about this epidemic 😂 Ohh those fake back baby hairs look awful. You have strong gel, brush it up for goodness sake
Same here! I remember I used to shave mine off when I was 14 cuz the trend wasn’t around yet and I felt so ugly!!! glad it became a trend in a way so I could learn to love myself, but now a days these fake baby hairs are OUT OF CONTROL 😂
Baby hairs are supposed to be thin and too short to be gelled or pulled down. It's just supposed to be the little hairs that would naturally pop up or naturally separate themselves from the style overtime. That's it that's all. Personally, if your baby hair is longer than an inch, it's just adult hair that has been cut or damaged in some way causing breakage.
I feel like most of this is rooted in texturism and then spread by trends . Because it is very very clear what kind of look they are going for. I mean doing edges on the back really reminds me of pressing the hell out out of our napehairs/kitchen and slathering it with wax to look a certain way. If yoi know you know, no? We did this too 15 years ago with that awful cheap yellow gel and toothbrushes instead of lacefronts. This is not new and it looked insane then too. If it werent crazy swooping edges it would be alopecia from trying to slick your hair back with 10 different hard bristle brushes or heatdamage from trying to get the silkiest silkpress you could ever have. Of course (non black) women who have naturally looser textures and flock to this baddie/hood barbie look are going to do this as well as it is now the norm. Unfortunatly lmao. We can do better as a community, way way way better.
Well where do you think these trends are coming from? Gay men/drag queens/transwomen..black women mimic them and that's why we can't even tell the men and women apart nowadays.
I used to hate baby hair until I saw this video. Then I realized how weird I was for poo pooing something that brings someone else joy. Life is so incredibly stressful. So if baby hairs make another girl feel beautiful & brings them joy. If they like it, I love it. Please don't dim your light because someone else thinks you're too luminous. Stars are meant to shine.
We could apply this mindset to literally everything, black women constantly wearing wigs that aren’t their hair type, black women losing edges, light skin women hating darkskin women, so essentially you’re saying let people do whatever they want but if it’s detrimental to the black community then it’s something that deserves to be thought up and talked about instead of just being a pacifist and thinking everything is okay just to make people happy, that’s not actually how the world works and we’re a monolith, we’re all seen as one instead of individually.
@TC-wk8vq In reference to part 'A' ...I do my best to apply this mindset to most situations, but that's MY choice & what I believe Jesus meant when He said, "Judge not least you be judged." I commented because I saw MY flaw & was embarrassed about thinking like a hypocrite. I'm far from perfect, so I personally have no business judging someone for doing their hair when I'm often too sick to care for my own & have taken an Uber to the ER or pharmacy wearing a bonnet. It reminds me of the other verse "And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? "Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye?" I am reprimanding MYSELF & no one else. I'm just really thankful this video reminds me about my PERSONAL walk with God. Maybe part B can even offer a bit of encouragement to people who stand out in their with their own expressive fashion sense. In college, I studied fashion in Kansas & even other students along with my family often laughed at me for making & wearing bright colors & patterns. It took me until age 39 to stop caring about opinions & feel comfortable being me. I live with Sickle Cell & have dealt with a lot of grief. My fashion choices are comforting; & although I'm socially ackward/quiet, my medical providers see me as a person & not just a disease. It's impossible to know why someone posted a comment on the meaning behind their words, just as we never know the why behind someone's 'ridiculous' fashion choices.
@0:53 b ppl been doing baby hairs at least since late 80s and def the early 90s 😂 with our natural hair. Im close to 40 so I've seen it all by now everything is just becoming more globally known. But yep some def over do it. My personal ick is seeing it touch or close to eyebrows
Can we just get the Queen of Baby Hairs (👑Chilli from TLC) to show everybody how to do baby hairs? Then that'll SOLVE ALL these baby hair shenanigans 😂😂
Chilli's baby hair is natural, like mines are. These women are trying to replicate this look. Women with natural baby hair do tend to have looser hair textures.
I swear, I am glad that you made this video because these women pass the age of 18 years old dressing and doing all this lashes, nails, and hair styles are starting to get out of hand. I am 44 years old and I think that their is a time when you need to start dressing and acting your age.
Finally somebody said it! This needs to stop, STOP! It’s so STUPID, STUPID, STUPID!!!! Black women are gorgeous without all this silly stuff! Every time I see these wigs, and baby hairs, and eye lashes I hurt on the inside, I cry a lil bit, I die a little! 😫😩Please stop🛑✋🏽! I agree 💯
Baby hair done turned into ADULT hair because this is ridiculous 😮💨🥴 between the baby hair, caterpillar lashes, BBL and Freddie Kruger fingernails….these females are akin to a build a bear 😂
