Episode 5: "What Black men think about Black women's hair"

[kkdb22]

Why black women are so quick to be all defensive everytime we ask them about their natural hair and weave? That could be a sign of self hate, damn BW we know the weave yo yall head is fake dang!!!!

[aminah487]

its not nonsense, it a very serious issue! i am concerned with our african women are addicted to plastic hair. it shows that they have no self esteem at all, were telling the world that our hair is not good enough! i have never had plastic hair on me.

[repmyclass2010]

I'm surprised this was filmed on UMBC campus, since I currently attend UMBC...ps Men are so ignorant when it comes to ANY regarding women so im not shocked at the pure ignorance coming from the ppl in this video

[TVInformative]

@repmyclass2010 Yea I currently attend too. Maybe if you're interested you can participate in one of the video topics. I'm surprised how honest the guys were.

[rikka1287]

And i have noticed the same as well that a lot of men like natural hair even white ppl like our natural hair...which is making me wonder why were we trying to change?

[nesatube]

this guys are all comfused. They want natural hair but not nappy. The only person i think knows what he is talking about is the guy with the hollister jacket

[Atemaatra]

I'm happy to see that these men actually know what natural hair is. Because a lot of men i've met seem to think that relaxed hair is natural and they dont find black women wearing thier real nappy hair attractive lol they forget that they have the same nappy hair.

[FlowFrazierMEVO]

i LOVE a natural haired woman. long or short, rock it the way it is. i cant stand weave at all, especially that ghetto ass style with different colors and shit. its unfortunate that most black women have that nonsense on their scalp. i can tolerate a "natural" lookin weave but i STILL wont be able to touch it lol. if i cant touch anything on you then i cant go on with you

[naturalbygolly]

bahahahah that is so corny! ha

[Jcunninghamdr]

The dude with the hat is fuuny. "You can get no job with that!"

[Jcunninghamdr]

@Jcunninghamdr funny.

[Blackseed1978]

0:52 bad hair is like nappy headed hair ? who taught this brotha that ? it's a mind conditioning for us to not accept who we are. So with him saying that if you noticed he said straight, natural. So then there is the topic of perms and women putting in different types of chemicals in their hair to get it so called straight. We need to love ourselves and break out the european conditioning of what is " beautiful ".

[aitan844]

oh by the way , talking about how you feel about yourself , on my way over and back to the uk I WAS THE ONLY BLACK PERSON ON THE PLANE wearing my GHANA BRAIDS .. lol! so, its ENTIRELY UP TO YOU on how you feel about yourself here.. I AM NOT MY HAIR.. check it out..

[aitan844]

i was in america recently and i got some strange looks FROM BLACKS who obviously dont feel comfortable with an african looking like one.. WELL THAT IS NOT MY PROBLEM. no amoung of weave on , and blonde highlights can make a difference to how you feel about yourself, if you live in a white majority country and have no experience of anything else , that blonde weave on is more of a prop than a fashion statement.. so, what happened to the afro then?

[aitan844]

we dont like her.. lol blonde weaves? not something i can identify with sorry..

[aitan844]

I didnt even know what the meaning of "nappy " was untill i hit the internet several yrs ago and saw that description on sites a nappy is a what you call DIAPER here in the uk and its the same in english speaking african countries like nigeria , if you said "nappy " they would bring a diaper to you .. lol! but "nappy" is considered gross and ugly in america its a symbol of africa one to be destroyed and expunged from the memory banks.. no wonder kaka is rocking that blonde weave and complainin

[aitan844]

despite the fact that they have naturally beautiful hair the obsession with looking like white people in the hair deparment continues to be big business for black american women.. and whats with the blond weaveon for goodness sake.. its like some of them want to expunge all reminders of their west african antecendents , i know they dont like us but unfortunately for them a lot of them do look like west africans I AM NOT MY HAIR india irie.... a vid every woman needs to watch .

[leensunshine]

@aitan844 I find that funny since west africa is the kingdom of relaxers and weaves........ Its a world wide concept black is ugly and white is beautiful.....and its silly all are beautiful in their own unique ways

[aitan844]

@leensunshine never said we dont have weaves, we have weave on and attachements they have always been available.. but its not the same with us, am sorry, but the fact is you had your identity expunged from your collective memory systimatically, therefore those weaves are a lot more than just putting a bit of hair over yrs.. while we have weaves, we dont have coporate america breathing down our necks to CONFORM to be "accepted" ...for instance i wear GHANA BRAIDS . go and google what that is..

[leensunshine]

@aitan844 @aitan844 I happen to be nigerian and i was speaking from my own experiences...... the European look is popular everywhere around the globe thats what i meant! that's why fair complected women are considered beautiful.......I don't need google i have eyes

[aitan844]

@leensunshine Well you need to use them properly after all if you dont like what you see in yourself its obvious you are going to reject it "European hair is more attractive syndrome" well continue to be a sickness and cancer that eats up in the black body politic untill we WAKE UP FROM IT... ridiculous self hatred is going NOWHERE..

[leensunshine]

@aitan844 my god look at my channel i am a natural haired woman....i wear my color like a flag i am proud to be nigerian, I was just talking about what society sees us as....those are not my beliefs

[aitan844]

@leensunshine well if you love your self SHOW IT not regurtitate what you are made to believe about yourself as an AFRICAN .. "I AM NOT MY HAIR" there is one line in that song that resonates with so much truth in america go look at the music video and find it..

[bisonburns]

pussy hair

[cmella626]

YOU CAN'T GET NO JOB WITH THAT... LMAO

[123Anewme]

dang black guys sure don't know allot about their own races hair!

[QUEENROX100]

Wow..this is what some young brothas really think about natural hair..

[myronmlawing]

BLAH BLAH BLAH!! Lord Jesus why do people care so much about a womans hair!!! There's SO MUCH more things that WAY MORE important.....like is she a good person? or does she have a good heart and is she faithful.....But her hair???? GROW SOME BALLS and see past this nonsense....a womans hair is her own choice

[TVInformative]

@myronmlawing I agree!! I wish the world we lived in would have the same opinion as us, but they don't Particularly in the African American community our hair is our crown of beauty. We hold it up soooo high, and sadly most women focus so much on their hair because they are trying to attract a mate in my opinion.

[myronmlawing]

@TVInformative

I'm glad you agree....you NEVER see white men tearing white females to shreds over such nonsense.

[TVInformative]

@myronmlawing interesting point you bring up. We don't really see this in other races besides the Black race which is very interesting.

[niekalee305]

@myronmlawing That's because in society, good hair is more associated with straight hair...in other words, white women hair. So white guys have nothing to complain about with white women hair, except for a few frizzies here and there.

[beijosparavoce]

@myronmlawing people are giving their honest opinion. Most white women don't go around asking white men what they think of their appearance. I didn't hear any man tearing any woman to shreds. I think you're just hyper-sensitive.

[JGvisions]

@myronmlawing oh, Black people or i should say BM dont really care. its an issue black women put on us to use as an arguementative strategy to justify why go through the process of artificially altering their looks and hair. as part of the Conflict in the young black community, its one of the only issues women come up with and go its your fault we do this that and the third because you dont like what we look like. im like "bitch, you the one with the pussy, what style the hair is on...part 1

[JGvisions]

...it dont matter much, plus the pussy dictates the shit in the first place!" im more surpised at this vid because i would figure it would be loaded to say that the men would say things like we like blond hair, long hair, blah blah blah. it looks like the guys mostly were saying we like natural hair and whatnot, which kind of goes against the whole Black men care about this shit and want BW with white hair and whatever.

[aminah487]

@myronmlawing

it aint her hair.... and that what this video is all about . deal with it reality and keep it real honey. Stay black sista

[NewMeNow2000]

Great video, TV. My favorite guy was the one with the big headphones and the Hollister hoodie. He seemed like a great guy. Thanks a lot.

[mimi42428]

wow some of those guys are ignorant as hell! they equate natural hair to bad hair wow

[TVInformative]

@mimi42428 yes unfortunately that is how a lot of black people, not just men, think....sadly. They most likely got that idea from their parents and the media.

[Blackseed1978]

@mimi42428 So true i agree with you.

[mimi42428]

@Blackseed1978 so sad huh smdh

[itsniquenique45]

im surprised they dont know what natural hair is.

but yes, most american citizens have seen white, and/ or just not black women with weave. especialy on tv. you just can tell because you assume all white women can have whatever kind of hair they want. but no, they get weave too. they just dont call it "weave", per say. they call it "extensions"

[sarah10018]

I thought Lil Weezy was in this vid... oops, my bad lol

[TVInformative]

@sarah10018 lol thats my brother.

[GodsGenuineGift]

@sarah10018 Lol.

[EbonyGirlSpeaks]

very well done...I really enjoyed hearing how some young men feel about black women and our hair.

[Applebaum]

THEY DONT KNOW WHAT NATURAL HAIR IS!!!???

[iRespyable]

LOL!! " I think they like dey natural hair, but they just cut it so much, till the point they don't got none to like" AHAHAHA!! @9:11

[iheartpurple04]

I love this video!!! definitely bout to check out the rest of them

[TVInformative]

@iheartpurple04 thankyou! im out shooting two new episodes for the upcoming week.

[nflmvp1991]

Weaves are like Toupees to me ..

[SuperAngryBears]

The thing most girls don't realize is that men don't really care about hair like the person said before its all about how she look and her personality! LOOK at amber rose like my man said. I wish I would spend 300 for a female to get her weave in! She can go to the barber every 2 weeks like me and get a fresh shape up. I actually like women with short hair on the rihanna megan good tip

[awara189]

lol natural hair fake hair. as long as it looks gooods tht all it matters!

[mssquirrely]

My man at 5:46 lmao!! I can understand if it's for a hair show or some form of hair presentation but on a just this is my style daily basis with no real intent other than to look foolish. Woww! He hit the nail dead on the head...Nicki Manaj they are not, her job is to be outlandish, entertaining not theirs. I guest if Nicki put a sh*t sandwich on her head and presented it as a new style they would too. If mainstream media perpetuated natural hair as good then BW would believe it .

[QLEANQLASSY]

mOST BLACK MEN LIKE NATURAL HAIR I DONT FIND MANY BLK GUYS THAT LIKE WEAVES OR CHEMICALS i THINK LADIES GET IT TWISTED....MOST MEN JUST WANT TO SEE SOME STYLE EVEN ME AS A BLACK MAN I DONT MIND A SHORT FADE ON A FEMALE EVEN IN THIS VIDEO, YOU HEAR MOST MEN ON HERE SAY LONG AND WELL KEPT....BUT THE POINT IS WELL KEPT SO LONG CORNROWS OR JUST BRAID THEIR OWN HAIR

[TVInformative]

@QLEANQLASSY I honestly did not know most black men prefered natural hair. I thought they just liked it as long as it was long and straight. I was surprised to see that it wasnt the case. I think a lot of women (black) do their hair a certain way which is for men Thats why I wanted to do a video on what men thought of black womens hair to show them, that no matter what kind of hair its ok

[QLEANQLASSY]

@TVInformative =====i think you should do another blackman question to randomly kill some of the assumptions sistas have ..............men like extreme questions ask 10-20 which would you prefer to have a marriage with a white woman or a black woman ..........i promise it will be mostly the darker woman

[TVInformative]

@QLEANQLASSY Hmm thats a good idea. I might do that this weekend. So you're saying just ask 10-20 black men would you marry a black woman or white woman? I can include that question in my interracial couples video. I started recording for that

[xjewlsx]

i agree with how long hair and short hair depends on the person.

[cutiewitapatootie]

I love this video!! haha!!!lol every guy except for the one guy said tht they prefer long hair...hahah the guy who said tht his hair was natural is hilarious...hahaha they white...they ain't black lol.omg i love how he explains the process very wrong.But a majority of things he says is soo right...a whole bunch of girls slap there weave when it itches.Is tht Mardeze btw? the one who was talking about color in hair being corny.hahaha u need to tell him where weave comes from.

LOVE IT. Keep it up
