You are so brave for speaking up like this!!!! Soooo many people LOVE talking about colorism, featurism, texturism, etc. But, hardly anyone actually talks about the ways internalized anti-blackness affects THEM personally in their OWN self-image. This is amazing! They always conveniently miss that part.... I know from personal experience it's a really difficult thing to admit to yourself let alone to other people (whether they're loved ones or strangers), but someone's gotta start these difficult conversations if we want to truly set ourselves free!

This is the reason I don't want to try lace front wigs. I know if I like it too much and notice people treat me better and I'm getting more oppurtunity I'm going to start feeling funny about my natural self. I'll stay to my other protective styles and keep my self-worth in tact.

@NaturallySunny Год назад

This was soooo good! Got me thinking about why I stopped wearing wigs, but that's just apart of the reasons why I do the things I do now.

@jayparker96 Год назад

Ngl.. this definitely woke somthing up in me... because i feel the same way about my hair, if its not slicked dwn with braids or in a wash and go with define curls i dont feel comfortable at all, never could go out with my hair in its 100% natural state with no product... but now i gotta ask myself why ? 🤔..i really like these thought provoking videos.

@geffro1754 Год назад

Why? Because you care about how people view you too much.

@JazelleLumar Год назад

I resonate with this so much! I cut off all of my hair two years ago because I kept straightening my hair too much and I didn’t appreciate my natural curl Pattern once I cut my hair I vowed to never wear my natural hair straight again and to appreciate my beautiful hair. Black is beautiful 🖤 thank you for this video.

@theongraham3394 Год назад

Thank you for your truth Tarek. We love you.

Hi Theon! 🌞 Hope all is well with you! ❣️ Sending you extra DIVINE LOVE AND LIGHT today from DALLAS ❣️ ❤️ 🙏

@Steve_Minaj Год назад

Oh I can so relate.I was once addicted to lightening my hair & wear light contact lenses.I didn't want to leave my house unless I had a pair of contact lenses and lighter hair color.I feel so much free now.

@cutietae247 Год назад

Keep speaking your truth despite the hate comments and video responses. You are behind honest and talking about the things nobody wants to admit to. These videos are so soothing and refreshing . I feel seen . I used to constantly have a perm and when I was old enough for a weave, I never showed my natural hair for 4 years. I have locs now and I love them. Wish I did it sooner

Hi Cutie Tae! 💓 Hope all is well with you! ❣️ Sending you extra DIVINE LOVE AND LIGHT today from DALLAS ❣️ ❤️ 🙏

The self awareness ✨ your awakening has brought you to a place of observation of who are you and who you've adopted from the energy around you ✨ You are gorgeous 🥰

@dairicdouthit1547 Год назад

I ❤ you Tarek! Transparency and self awareness is everything! Thank you for being you.

@EDUCATOROFHAIR Год назад

I'm so glad u realized how HANDSOME u are w/o all of the extra!

@dretheegem8885 Год назад

You wear both looks very well. You’re definitely still apart if the platinum blonde brand for many ❤️❤️

@naturalhairbliss Год назад

You are wise beyond your years. Thank you for sharing this journey. Many don’t want to admit this and your transparency is inspiring. I wear my hair in its natural state for the same reasons.

@tahjayreeves9852 Год назад

Both look so bomb ♥️♥️

@meechi5172 Год назад

I felt the same way when I went natural, I got way less attention from men. Allot of the complements I get on my hair now are from other natural women.

@martinoveer9483 Год назад

Thats so nice honest and so cool video...almost as you natural hair and eyes! Its cool to be who you are...and love yourself.

@truth.is.hella.bitter8985 Год назад

Hey Martino! 👋 Hope all is well with you! ❣️ Sending you extra DIVINE LOVE AND LIGHT today from DALLAS ❣️ ❤️ 🙏

This is how I felt after I broke my white frames. I felt they became who I was from the exoticness it gave from a dark-skinned black boy pulling them off. I realized 1 I can pull of many other things and 2 hair grows and changes and so do replaceable frames. You can always keep creating looks that are you. You don't have to limit yourself to something just because others praise it

@Diz_27 Год назад

Aww i love the growth and appreciation of yourself 💜.

@wrld421 Год назад

absolutely right I don't mind my afro being big and black or just having a big afro. 🔥🔥🔥

@MarquittaY 6 месяцев назад

This resonates soooooo much! I even went bald to release the blonde, but went back because I didn’t like what I saw. I got lost in it and it ultimately rips your hair. I loved the look, attention, and the fact I COULD rock it. But deep down I’m ready to change my health from the inside out. I’m still blonde, but before seeing this I said I was growing this out and releasing the blonde.. blessings and kudos to you! ❤️

@jay-ux3gp Год назад

Thank you for this! Been growing out my fro after cutting and dying it a lot. It’s so important to embrace yourself on all fronts. It’s a catch 22 for me because I genuinely love hats but I know in the past I’ve used them to hide my hair.

@plymouth-xx3ev 7 месяцев назад

Damn. This was the rawest, realest talk.

@quyen8059 Год назад

Hi Tarek, I’ve watched you so much over the years and we’re the same age, actually. I am so proud of how transparent you have become from your first couple of videos. Wishing u so much light and love

@nerdkink Месяц назад

Start to loving your self. As a black person in the goth community I can understand. It all begins with you.

@deedeelaveen6872 Год назад

OMG I just saw your Kehinde Wiley portrait! His work is beautiful.

@ameliap413 Год назад

Thank you so much for sharing 🙏 I can relate to the thoughts you were having so hearing you talk about it helps me to heal as well. 🙏🙏🙏💗

@naj5545 Год назад

Absolutely beautiful Tarek. Keep doing you and spreading awareness for us all. Thank you love for all that you do.❤️✨👑

@Macksworld86 Год назад

Omg, I was 100% the same way. If my hair was freshly bleached I cancelled plans or I wore a Durag. I was even in the mirror saying, “I just don’t feel like myself, without my blonde hair.” SMH

@AuthenticSugar Год назад

man i love you for this 👍🏽👍🏽

@evans7715 Год назад

Can you do a vid on how you grew your hair back out fully, after it fell out? My hair was damaged by bleach a few years ago, and I have these spots in my head that are either very thin or damn near bald. I don’t know what to do.

@daniella8304 Год назад

biotin (vitamin supplements) you can get them at the pharmacy

Got to get your vitamins up and use castor oil and virgin hair fertilizer

@Mary-fk3lp Год назад

This is so brave, loving, and self-aware! Especially in this age when younger Black generations are watching you! I think if content creators are out getting awards and recognition for thriving as Black content creators, we should hold them to this standard (with compassion - everyone’s on a journey to loving themselves as am I)!

@Siouxnami Год назад

I just came from a video from someone who was completely twisting all of your words wow. Totally get where you are coming from though despite youtubers spinning your narrative

This is so good

@LoRenz_Qupid 5 месяцев назад

This happened to me too & then I stopped bleaching my hair that platinum blonde too once it fell out .

@randomhibiscus Год назад

What made it fall out? was it left in for too long or what was the mistake made?

@PrycelessPrynce Год назад

I love this 🥹

@princessprincess7708 10 месяцев назад

Humans are not supposed to be seperated. Thats why they also try to look Afro to feel.closer to us. It is nature. We were forced to separate from part of ourselves .

@Leukick Год назад

ok then how come you bleach your eyebrows now, in your newest vids

@davidearlrussell1999 Год назад

Hey Tarek, I love the purple pants you wore for your birthday. I am graduating from USC in a couple of months and I want to wear them but I am having trouble with the sizing. How did the sizing go for you ? I'm 5'9.5 with a 32 waist but I'm not sure about the conversion is because it's based on women's or men's clothing and im not sure which gender the pants were created for.
