What's wrong with a good old press and curl? Little girls got them all the time. And had hair past their shoulders. Saturday morning, after cartoon, you sat in the kitchen and got your hair done. And mom was on stand by with the hot comb in case you sweated your temples or "kitchen" out.
ok...all I can say is wow...immediately when I saw all the children getting their hair relaxed, it broke my heart. I scrolled down the comments and realized I am not the only one that felt this way. Most of us adults started off like those kids, but it ended badly. I recently started my journey to natural back in January and now my hair is 100% relaxer free. I felt empowered and free from the "creamy crack" and here is another generation getting addicted.
when i saw pretty black girl with thick hair on video, i literally screamed leave her hair that way!!!! After she got relaxer , it was thinned not cute anymore!
a few yesrs from now they dont have no freaking hair! stop doing that to yall hair go natural, whatch kimmyyoutube!! whatch and learn! all bullshit what the ppl teach you! ugh
a few yesrs from know they dont have no freaking hair! stop doing that to yall hair go natural, whatch kimmyyoutube!! whatch and learn! all bullshit what the ppl teach you! ugh
i"m a fairly new natural. i'm also liscensed cosmotologist. "to each its own". If u can maintain it, it"s ur choice. As for the under aged children< i have my own opinion, but those arent my kids, so lets leave the choice to thier parents
OMG!!! These transformations are...um..what's the word? Oh yeah..."UGLY".
The transformation of the girl at 1:41 really did me in. I just lost my patience and had to type something. Why do this, especially to little kids. They had beautiful texture that just needed some loving and patience. I feel bad now. :(
Okay. I'm natural and I'm not ant-relaxer for older girls and adults. But I'm anti-relaxer for little girls. My mom put that chemical mess in my head when I was six. I didn't know any better and had no choice. At least give a child a chance to say if they want a relaxer. I put water and conditioner in my hair and it turns to beautiful curls. Notice when they showed their "before" picture there was no moisturizer in their hair. Not a single "after" picture showed a curly hair style.
Half the girls in these videos are previously relaxed and half aren't. People have the right to wear their hair just as they want. Having relaxed hair doesnt make them less beautiful and having natural hair doesnt make them more beautiful. At the end of the day, its dead cells growing out the scalp. All that matters is the health and management maintained for whoever has to do it. Mom or stylist... sheesh.. they are all still beautiful Black girls!
omg! I came across this vid while acually looking for tips about natural hair care. I honestly believe that the before and after pics should be reversed. I recently cut my chemically treated hair after falling in love with me and everything that is real about me especially as a black woman and I cringed at how all of those beautiful, thick and long heads of natural hair were altered. Black is beautiful and our natural hair really is wonderful and unique. We just need to learn how to manage it.
ok.... what the hell ever happened to grease, water and ponytails for little girls? i remember being so happy about new knocker ball hair ties and colorful scrunshies for the new school year and only getting my hair pressed for easter,christmas and school photos. these little girls dont even need chemicals! ive been a lic. cosmetologist for 9 years and have had many young girls as clients i good hard press (if u want the straight look) is all they really need. this is too much
This has nothing to do with self hate, naturals being hollier than thou, etc. This has to do with altering hair follicles that are STILL DEVELOPING. Eventually altering them when they are not fully developed with numerous relaxer applications will break the hair. The hair may look lustrous in these pictures, but look at them right around the teenage years. That is why many girls who enter their teenage years after years of early relaxing experience breakage. It is about timing in the end.
Ok , we get it the product works well .! But why use children with perfectly good heads of natural hair to demonstrate on .? My mother didn't let me relax my hair until i was almost 13 years old and she still didn't want to she was talked into it by a hairdresser and i regret ever relaxing my hair to this day becuase i hair was long and loosly curled . Leave those kids hair alone .! What ever happened to a good ole press and curl .?!
@cosmeticandii thats what im talking about. im a cosmetologist of 9 yrs and i used to lose some clients because i refused to start a relaxer on little girls ages 3-14. its too much when u can press the hair just as straight and it will last especially when ur taking care of it. can u imagine putting a relaxer on a baby who can hardly fit in a salon chair? i had one lady go home and do it to her 4Yr old herself and burn the babys scalp so bad the ppl at the er though she had abused her.
I have been natural hair for 9 years. I love it and will never go back. It took a while to learn how to style it. I kept cutting it off when it got too big but You Tube tutorials have been great. My daughter went natual last July at age 16. She just cut it all off one day. I was shocked. Now her hair is longer than mine. I'm amazed. Her friends are now saying that she has inspired them to go natural. They want big thick hair too. Women alway stop and ask about her hair when we're out.
I really hope this is pressed and not relaxed. I'm dying watching this mess. For those that say we can have healthy relaxed hair, you're right. We can. But only a handful of us have hair that can handle the abusive chemicals. The vast majority of black women relax their hair. Maybe thats why we have a problem growing our hair past our shoulders. And most of those that can, only have a few thin strands near the end. Thats why we are in awe when we see a sister w/ long thick relaxed hair.
@Sujata411 its also the products they use on their hair which causes it to not go past shoulder length. Taking care of hair hair is priority if we want to achieve lone hair, the same goes with naturals.
does anybody in the salon know how to do anything other than flat iron/blow dry? Not trying to be funny, really asking a question b/c that's all the skills that were shown here.
is 1:29 natural at the back? cuz if so, u did that! i love short hair, but after seein this i dont believe i'll have to ever relax again if i can get that short style with natural hair.
I dnt see what wrong with this advertisement. I think that it show how with this product you can transform from natural to strengten I just dnt get y some ppl are mad. I want to try this pruduct if it does strenghten like this I want to have a blow out for my year aniversary is that wrong to?
The "Befores" were so much better... when will black women stop teaching their daughters to hate themselves (by doing this to their hair that is exactly what was taught). These girls were beautiful, now they have been progammed that straight hair is the only form of beauty. and that is just WRONG!!

Don't get me wrong the straight hair looks nice. But I was expecting to see how the hair would have looked after it was washed, conditioned, and moistured. And maybe put in a nice natural style like a braidout or twistout or something like that. Now if I see that I would be impressed by the product.
This is pitiful! These children are being programmed at an early age to believe that their natural hair is not good enough.
There are so many gorgeous styles for children with natural hair. Every single 'before' picture could have been corrected by using natural methods for natural hair.
I hate the fact that this vid is sending a message that kinky curly roots and natural hair is a problem that needs to be fix. What happened to black is beautiful, What happened to loving our hair in its natural state. Mothers should wake up.,and teach our girls that love comes from within . Not from outside appearances
I love how people automatically assume stuff. As someone who has actually USED this product and seen it used. I can assure you that these girls heads were NOT pressed. This relaxer has amazing results. I couldn't believe it when I did my sis' hair. Relaxer vs natural: that's an individual decision, not whether you hate yourself or not. People dye their hair, do they hate themselves? I'm saying this as someone who's been natural for years. Being natural doesn't make you holier than thou!
i was not the one saying the hair was pressed, i said it looked like it was permed, and no matter what brand relaxer you use, it still depends on how YOU take care of it. also it still doesnt matter if you used the product or not, you cant really be sure if its permed/pressed unless you have extra info. and you need to read +understand people's comments, noone here said anything about being natural wasnt an individual decision. i said in this case THE MOTHER MADE THE DECISION FOR THE CHILD
@genrouchan I agree, with you about that. But my problem with dye, perm, relaxing or any chemical we put in our hair is that ,these chemical can really damage your body, on a molecular level. We should all be informed on what goes into or onto our hair and body. The chemical compound in all these products have been linked to blindness, cancers, and many ,many more unhealth side effects. You dont have to take my word for it,. Just do the research
Way to be overdramatic. It's possible to have healthy, processed hair. And the child can make any decision they want when they get older. I grew up with perms. That didn't stop me from making the choice to be natural. Stop being so judgement and projecting scenarios you have no evidence for. All you are looking at is pictures, you know nothing about these clients or their hair.
sure and its possible to have healthy natural hair, but did the photos look like these girls natural hair was healthy? NO.
these are before pics with neglected natural hair- thats evidence of how they care for their hair. and do i really need to explain that i was making a joke with my 1st comment? but im not joking when i say the evidence points to the girls permed hair wont be ANY healthier than their natural.
i was thinking the before would be the pics of their natural hair dry and unkept, and the after pic would be of their natural hair washed, moisturized and styled...this video is like saying the only way to "fix" natural hair is to straighten it - that is so wrong. its ok to perm your hair if you want but dont perm the child's hair , its like sending a message saying thats the only way to handle your hair
I think they look beautiful BOTH ways. Relaxers aren't exactly good for the hair but I see nothing wrong with the occasional press. It doesn't mean you don't like your hair, sometimes you just want to switch it up! Naturals need to stop having this self-righteous mentality, it's just as ignorant.
We need to take back our natural hair. I know a lot of people say its fine to press/straighten natural hair, but too often do I see naturals straightening their hair all the time and rarely wearing it in its natural state. In my opinion, that is just as bad as permanently relaxing it because you don't want to accept your head the way it grows out of your head. If we don't accept our natural hair as it is, no one will.
I agree. I think what most people in the video needed is just to discover a style that worked with their natural hair. But I understand why people straighten. It's hard for others to understand "kinky" hair.
There is nothing wrong with getting your hair pressed straight. It is just something else/another style we natural women and girls can wear! Relaxers are what damage our hair because they are made up of harsh chemicals, and they change the hair so much that you end up having to cut the hair off! Anyway...yall already know that. So there is nothing wrong with the video. As long as the girls know that wearing the hair in the "before" style is just as cute as wearing the "after" style! Thanks
For those who are asking 'why the hair was permed', please take note that no where stated on the video says 'these little girls hair was permed'!!!! if youve ever had your hair pressed, then you would know that the majority of the pics are of pressed hair!!!!!! and 'ITS THEIR HAIR!!!' THEY SHALL DO AS THEY PLEASE!!!!!
@akerdam its THEIR hair and their MOTHER shall do as she pleases. these girls didnt take themselves to the hairdresser and pay for their styles. there's only like 2 after pics, how can you be sure that the hair was pressed not permed? some of these girls hair was already permed, im betting its a perm in all their styles.
whose to say the little girls did not beg their parents to take them to the salon. i disagree with your statement of all of them having perms! its quite visible that the hair is not bouncy put heavy ie: pressing cream!!!
you think those little girls begged their mother to take them to the salon? how often is it that a child's hair is permed not because the child wanted it but because the MOTHER wanted it? what youre doing is just arguing for the sake of arguing.
you have NO info whatsoever to go on about whether its permed or pressed,
you look at those pics and think its HEAVY? the hair at 0:12 , 0:19 ANY of them look HEAVY? the odds are against the hair being pressed
Please tell me what you know about Sodium Hydroxide...because I have talked to several chemists who have told me that it will eventually make your hair fall out. If that's healthy then I really would like to know what unhealthy hair is.
I've heard Sodium Hydroxide is the active ingredient in relaxers. This chemical is incredibly dangerous and is powerful enough to burn through aluminum! Sodium hydroxide is what causes the burns and scalp/hair damage when using relaxers, and can result in hair loss. My advice...STAY AWAY FROM IT!!! ;-)
i wanna go natural soooooooooo bad im in my 2 month of transitioning and these young girls are putting those harmful chemicals in their hair their natural hair is so beautiful sigh
It's a shame those beautiful young girls being taught to hate what naturally grows from their heads. I have two daughters with EXTRA thick hair and they are both natural and will remain so. If they ever decide to perm their hair they will be grown and paying for it themselves.
@ComyaBee youre so right... im 15 about to be 16 in December.. and My bestfriend and I are going natural.. shes completely natural now.. but im still transitioning. I just dont understand why we have to have an European look and not our natural look.. its the best of both worlds.. we can wear it straight and curly (natural)
@ComyaBee lol... i was natural for a year, i enjoyed it and everything, but now im happy to be relaxed again,,,, if i decide to go natural again, then it will be because im losing my hair. I learned to love my hair natural or relaxed....
@ComyaBee I completely agree!!! These children should be happy with how they look and how their hair looks.This comes from the lack of knowledge of HOW to take care of the hair
Terrible! those children looked way better in the before pic. Now they look like Sally and Sue...African American hair is beautiful we need to teach our kids that. Or they will grow up not likeing themselves as they are naturally.
This is what you call pure laziness. If the parents wanted their daughters to have the straight look they should of pressed and curled it. I have a 4 year old daughter and I would never do this to her I mean never. when she want's her hair straight I press it out and when I wash it it reverts back to her natural curl.
there's just something really sickening when I see young girls in a chair getting their hair permed...why do we see the need to perm our kids hair as soon as they come out of the womb! to subject a child to the crack, the burning scalp, etc. is simply child abuse if you ask me...yes, it's bad at any change, but wow it really tears me up when I see kids that young going through that
I, beyond words agree with you all. Really hurts to watch. We're teaching my little sister to be proud of who she is and the beauty in her NATURAL hair. Stigma about her complextion and hair texture in school, at the playground, within FAMILY at times (the ones who simply don't get it)...drives me crazy...and to watch our own sometimes join in with those outside of our race to alone be accepted by some fictitious image...tsk tsk tsk.
I seen something on Tyra some time ago where this little girl didn't like her hair and wanted to wear her "Hanna Montana" wig. My younger cousins unfortunately have grown in an environment where their minds are just as ignorant as the ones who don't take them for who they are. And in turn, she dislikes herself. True story.
@queenofsheba1000 I agree completely. This video is making it seem as though the only way one can "manage" our hair is if is straighten and that is very annoying. In addition, as someone stated previously, it is sending a negative message that our natural hair is not beautiful, which is completely untrue.
I don't understand what age has to do with it. It's unhealthy for anyone of any age to have their hair relaxed for OBVIOUS reasons. Just because they were children, it's bad? That seems stupid. Relaxers are harmful to anyone, whether your 3 or 33. The effects are the same.
straightening one's hair does not fix the damage. the goal should be teaching the kids how to care for their hair, cause even if u relax it, without proper care, it will still be unhealthy.
Why the parents aint sittin they behinds in that chair instead of their kids? Dont experiment on your childrens hair. All they needed was a wash a conditioner and maybe a trim.
I think it is important for all to know that this product was not created by a chemist, and is being marketed only in the shop. The "manager" is trying to force her beauticians to use it, and some people have had horrible damage done to their hair and skin. The shop uses cheap supplies like shampoo, and motions over the counter stuff. stylist leave . Cindy is foreign and pretends to be american as if there is something wrong with foreigners so im not surprised that she thinks natual hair is bad.
It's a shame because all of these young beautiful girls had wonderful hair. I also remember when I was young how the elders would say, I gotta put a relaxer or perm in this childs hair, it's too much. I actually remember getting my 4ab hair combed dry with a medium or small tooth comb. Ooouch. WHen the hair is relaxed, it looks limp and less attractive. There is so much beauty in our hair....
The girl on 2:06 had really bad edges... It doesn't make any sense to me that she was given a perm. Instead of a perm an alternative should have been given. As a beautitian sometime you have to say no. You have the same responsiblities to a person health as a doctor. If you see that someone has unhealthy hair why are you perming the hair and making it worst. I feel sorry for the uneducated parent and the child that has trusted you.
I can't believe the parents of those children gave into creamy crack. They were all beautiful before. Patience was needed with their natural hair. The children are still beautiful afterward.
This makes me so sad. Please use adults to advertise this product from now on. When will we raise our little girls to love what they were born with? They all needed a deep conditioner, not a perm/pressing comb. With all of the information about natural hair care on this site alone, there's no excuse for this. The girls are beautiful. What was done to their hair/minds was harmful.
omg dat lil girl from 1:37-1:57 was so beatutiful.. reminds me of how i used to look wen i was younger.. & before she straighted her hair, her hair was already beautiful. i loved her hair texture
Wow, I'm surprised everyone is being so harsh. I know the styles weren't the best but dang. I thought they were okay. I didn't even know she permed the after pics. I thought they were naturals going through straightening (by heat only). : /
at 0.39 the girl in the green shirt's hair is so thin and limp looking. idk why anyone would wanna go down that road. her thinning relaxer should be an after picture of those after pictures.
This is horrible! The first picture "before" looks like natural hair when it is not takin care of properly (some) and the second looks like really burnt over pressed hair thats slicked with some oil I mean "grease" = horrible
there hair looks cute, but i agree the before hair could of been styled as well. the perm in their hair will damage and thin there hair later on as they get older.
Really sad teaching these beautiful little girls that their "before" natural hair needed changing! Their natural hair could have been styled just as nicely. What will it take for us to stop being brainwashed? SMDH.
So is the purpose of this clip to convince me that healthy, natural hair when washed, conditioned and flat ironed looks good? Same for the relaxed heads in this clip. These people had fine hair in the before pictures and could have gotten the same results from certain drugstore products. Show actual evidence that Diva improves the condition of the hair; 'cause a hard press on a cute child is not going to cut it.
Individuals with natural hair should always consider using a natural alcohol free hair care line with moisturizing ingredients. Diva by Cindy is a hair care for natural and chemicaly processed hair. Hair is detangled and softer and more manageable.For little girls who cry because of discomfort from tangled hair. Diva by Cindy is a product gives assists in daily grooming without the pain. How compassionate!
What's wrong with a good old press and curl? Little girls got them all the time. And had hair past their shoulders. Saturday morning, after cartoon, you sat in the kitchen and got your hair done. And mom was on stand by with the hot comb in case you sweated your temples or "kitchen" out.

I love how people automatically assume stuff. As someone who has actually USED this product and seen it used. I can assure you that these girls heads were NOT pressed. This relaxer has amazing results. I couldn't believe it when I did my sis' hair. Relaxer vs natural: that's an individual decision, not whether you hate yourself or not. People dye their hair, do they hate themselves? I'm saying this as someone who's been natural for years. Being natural doesn't make you holier than thou!

i was not the one saying the hair was pressed, i said it looked like it was permed, and no matter what brand relaxer you use, it still depends on how YOU take care of it. also it still doesnt matter if you used the product or not, you cant really be sure if its permed/pressed unless you have extra info. and you need to read +understand people's comments, noone here said anything about being natural wasnt an individual decision. i said in this case THE MOTHER MADE THE DECISION FOR THE CHILD

@genrouchan I agree, with you about that. But my problem with dye, perm, relaxing or any chemical we put in our hair is that ,these chemical can really damage your body, on a molecular level. We should all be informed on what goes into or onto our hair and body. The chemical compound in all these products have been linked to blindness, cancers, and many ,many more unhealth side effects. You dont have to take my word for it,. Just do the research
angieluna42 1 year ago
and the WORST part about this is...give it a year or two and none of these kids will have hair on their head anymore.
bouyon4dmasiv 2 years ago
Way to be overdramatic. It's possible to have healthy, processed hair. And the child can make any decision they want when they get older. I grew up with perms. That didn't stop me from making the choice to be natural. Stop being so judgement and projecting scenarios you have no evidence for. All you are looking at is pictures, you know nothing about these clients or their hair.
genrouchan 2 years ago
sure and its possible to have healthy natural hair, but did the photos look like these girls natural hair was healthy? NO.
these are before pics with neglected natural hair- thats evidence of how they care for their hair. and do i really need to explain that i was making a joke with my 1st comment? but im not joking when i say the evidence points to the girls permed hair wont be ANY healthier than their natural.
bouyon4dmasiv 2 years ago
i was thinking the before would be the pics of their natural hair dry and unkept, and the after pic would be of their natural hair washed, moisturized and styled...this video is like saying the only way to "fix" natural hair is to straighten it - that is so wrong. its ok to perm your hair if you want but dont perm the child's hair , its like sending a message saying thats the only way to handle your hair
bouyon4dmasiv 2 years ago
so wait, im confused. Is this hair being permed or just flat ironed?

I think they look beautiful BOTH ways. Relaxers aren't exactly good for the hair but I see nothing wrong with the occasional press. It doesn't mean you don't like your hair, sometimes you just want to switch it up! Naturals need to stop having this self-righteous mentality, it's just as ignorant.

We need to take back our natural hair. I know a lot of people say its fine to press/straighten natural hair, but too often do I see naturals straightening their hair all the time and rarely wearing it in its natural state. In my opinion, that is just as bad as permanently relaxing it because you don't want to accept your head the way it grows out of your head. If we don't accept our natural hair as it is, no one will.

I agree. I think what most people in the video needed is just to discover a style that worked with their natural hair. But I understand why people straighten. It's hard for others to understand "kinky" hair.

There is nothing wrong with getting your hair pressed straight. It is just something else/another style we natural women and girls can wear! Relaxers are what damage our hair because they are made up of harsh chemicals, and they change the hair so much that you end up having to cut the hair off! Anyway...yall already know that. So there is nothing wrong with the video. As long as the girls know that wearing the hair in the "before" style is just as cute as wearing the "after" style! Thanks

For those who are asking 'why the hair was permed', please take note that no where stated on the video says 'these little girls hair was permed'!!!! if youve ever had your hair pressed, then you would know that the majority of the pics are of pressed hair!!!!!! and 'ITS THEIR HAIR!!!' THEY SHALL DO AS THEY PLEASE!!!!!
akerdam 2 years ago
@akerdam its THEIR hair and their MOTHER shall do as she pleases. these girls didnt take themselves to the hairdresser and pay for their styles. there's only like 2 after pics, how can you be sure that the hair was pressed not permed? some of these girls hair was already permed, im betting its a perm in all their styles.
bouyon4dmasiv 2 years ago
whose to say the little girls did not beg their parents to take them to the salon. i disagree with your statement of all of them having perms! its quite visible that the hair is not bouncy put heavy ie: pressing cream!!!
akerdam 2 years ago
you think those little girls begged their mother to take them to the salon? how often is it that a child's hair is permed not because the child wanted it but because the MOTHER wanted it? what youre doing is just arguing for the sake of arguing.
you have NO info whatsoever to go on about whether its permed or pressed,
you look at those pics and think its HEAVY? the hair at 0:12 , 0:19 ANY of them look HEAVY? the odds are against the hair being pressed
bouyon4dmasiv 2 years ago
permed hair can be healthy, just as natural hair can be unhealthy. its all how you take care of it.
ppl shouldn't go around bashing others just because they don't do/believe the same things they do...
they little girls look adorable. they have their whole lives to decide what they want to do to their own hair

Please tell me what you know about Sodium Hydroxide...because I have talked to several chemists who have told me that it will eventually make your hair fall out. If that's healthy then I really would like to know what unhealthy hair is.
Xinoutorah 2 years ago 3
I've heard Sodium Hydroxide is the active ingredient in relaxers. This chemical is incredibly dangerous and is powerful enough to burn through aluminum! Sodium hydroxide is what causes the burns and scalp/hair damage when using relaxers, and can result in hair loss. My advice...STAY AWAY FROM IT!!! ;-)

ZanalahLovely 2 years ago 11
This is what you call pure laziness. If the parents wanted their daughters to have the straight look they should of pressed and curled it. I have a 4 year old daughter and I would never do this to her I mean never. when she want's her hair straight I press it out and when I wash it it reverts back to her natural curl.
Mactyi415 2 years ago 4
there's just something really sickening when I see young girls in a chair getting their hair permed...why do we see the need to perm our kids hair as soon as they come out of the womb! to subject a child to the crack, the burning scalp, etc. is simply child abuse if you ask me...yes, it's bad at any change, but wow it really tears me up when I see kids that young going through that

I, beyond words agree with you all. Really hurts to watch. We're teaching my little sister to be proud of who she is and the beauty in her NATURAL hair. Stigma about her complextion and hair texture in school, at the playground, within FAMILY at times (the ones who simply don't get it)...drives me crazy...and to watch our own sometimes join in with those outside of our race to alone be accepted by some fictitious image...tsk tsk tsk.

I seen something on Tyra some time ago where this little girl didn't like her hair and wanted to wear her "Hanna Montana" wig. My younger cousins unfortunately have grown in an environment where their minds are just as ignorant as the ones who don't take them for who they are. And in turn, she dislikes herself. True story.
DaMeekz 2 years ago
@queenofsheba1000 I agree completely. This video is making it seem as though the only way one can "manage" our hair is if is straighten and that is very annoying. In addition, as someone stated previously, it is sending a negative message that our natural hair is not beautiful, which is completely untrue.
Prime1018 1 year ago
I don't understand what age has to do with it. It's unhealthy for anyone of any age to have their hair relaxed for OBVIOUS reasons. Just because they were children, it's bad? That seems stupid. Relaxers are harmful to anyone, whether your 3 or 33. The effects are the same.
CuddlyBubbles1 2 years ago 5
straightening one's hair does not fix the damage. the goal should be teaching the kids how to care for their hair, cause even if u relax it, without proper care, it will still be unhealthy.

I think it is important for all to know that this product was not created by a chemist, and is being marketed only in the shop. The "manager" is trying to force her beauticians to use it, and some people have had horrible damage done to their hair and skin. The shop uses cheap supplies like shampoo, and motions over the counter stuff. stylist leave . Cindy is foreign and pretends to be american as if there is something wrong with foreigners so im not surprised that she thinks natual hair is bad.

It's a shame because all of these young beautiful girls had wonderful hair. I also remember when I was young how the elders would say, I gotta put a relaxer or perm in this childs hair, it's too much. I actually remember getting my 4ab hair combed dry with a medium or small tooth comb. Ooouch. WHen the hair is relaxed, it looks limp and less attractive. There is so much beauty in our hair....
Uchenna2009 2 years ago 12
The girl on 2:06 had really bad edges... It doesn't make any sense to me that she was given a perm. Instead of a perm an alternative should have been given. As a beautitian sometime you have to say no. You have the same responsiblities to a person health as a doctor. If you see that someone has unhealthy hair why are you perming the hair and making it worst. I feel sorry for the uneducated parent and the child that has trusted you.

This makes me so sad. Please use adults to advertise this product from now on. When will we raise our little girls to love what they were born with? They all needed a deep conditioner, not a perm/pressing comb. With all of the information about natural hair care on this site alone, there's no excuse for this. The girls are beautiful. What was done to their hair/minds was harmful.

So is the purpose of this clip to convince me that healthy, natural hair when washed, conditioned and flat ironed looks good? Same for the relaxed heads in this clip. These people had fine hair in the before pictures and could have gotten the same results from certain drugstore products. Show actual evidence that Diva improves the condition of the hair; 'cause a hard press on a cute child is not going to cut it.
