  • all black women with long hair get weave checked, especially the darker your complexion is. What gets on my nerves is that ppl already have an opinion of whether your hair is real or fake and then turn around and ask you to see if you're going to "lie" and they're not going to believe what you say anyway! Whether it's store bought or home grown, own it and whip it! lol. vivalacious dnt let ppl touch your hair. it's gorgeous. you dont know where their hands have been anyway

  • I absolutly hate that shit! people just walk up to me and the firt thing that comes out their mouth is"is that Remi or Milky way" if my hair is straighten or when its just natural they ask me "What type of wig is that" Why can't people just acept the fact that not all black women have a weave/wig!....oh and btw i love your hair!

  • I hat when ppl do that and its only when you tell them your mixed with something will they believe you!

  • ur my new favorite person!!!!!!!!!! lol :))

  • I feel you, Vivalicious! I know you have some videos on how you take care of your hair. Your hair is really long! I get that alot of that "wig" talk and they are totally jealous of the curls I create with no heat. They cannot believe and will not believe it they try to uncover their own beauty!

  • Your hair is beautiful i love it and it looks fantastic on you...jealousy comes in many forms and you my dear handle yourself very well!

  • You're hilarious.

  • im 5 months into my journey and ive always been asked if my relaxed hair was a wig. when i wore wigs i got ur hair is so pretty. go figure ppl cant tell real from fake and vice versa. dont let them scalp check let them be envious at a distance. ur hair is beautiful

  • Omg I always here that too girl or in my terms I am always scalp raped! Oh hw I hate being scalp raped fyi when a random person palms the back of my hair and says wow its so pretty. Im thinkin like yea right she was trying to find my track lol but I dont where tracks lol

  • lol!! yea I can relate to you with the weave/wig questions. Once I answer them if they don't believe me oh well. So many females are rocking weaves and wigs these days. When they see someone with long or full hair they think its fake.

  • I get that all the TIME!!! lol cuz im black and my hair down my back (almost touching my butt) lol so I feel u girl! U can't help ur genetics, it is what is soo stop weave checkin ppl...lol

  • Hun I know a wig when I see one...and trust me your hai does NOT look like a wig.........if someone ask me that question my responds will be "Why is it your business?"

  • DDYYYYYIIINNNNN laughin!!!!!!

  • What you do with your hair, is your business. They need go some where.

  • Wow. That's just crazy.

  • Wow. That's just crazy.

  • that would make me upset also, but, b4 i bc'ed a year ago i thought ignorant towards black women w/ hair )= i would always think, "oh she must have Indian in her" or "oh, she must have Latin in her". it wasn't until i saw a video on you tube where someone announced they were fully black to make me stop thinking like that, but i never went as far as to make rude comments to some1 i saw with beautiful hair, or automatically assume it was fake, that's just unnecessary and rude. glad i got educated!

  • its cuz half of em b baldheaded.. Ive bin natural my whole life and i am still tired of all the comments

  • so i'm just coming across your channel and i wasn't in disbelief about whether your hair was yours, it was more so the color that caught my attention. it's very nice and stands out (couple that with a bangin 'fro like yours and you bound to get attention girl!! lol) but i feel you on the weave check thing. it's rude, tacky and offensive.

  • We all get checked at some point. When I first took my locs down, a girl was playing in my hair. (Yes, a GIRL was playing in my hair. smh.) And when she got to the bottom.. She was like "This yo' HAIR! I thought this was a weave!" I'm like.. OK.. My hair was short- It's still pretty short. Why the hell would I need a weave this damn short? LoL!

    Jen

  • That would really annoy me! It's just ignorance

  • Your hair is so pretty! Love your honesty "o)

  • i have locs and even i get asked that question lol.....love ur hair tho!

  • I just want you to know I just fell out on the floor laughing...It's not funny but I hate when people do the same thing to me. Esp. when they put their dirty hands in my head ( After it took hours to wash and dry). I even stopped wearing my natural hair becuase I was tired of the comments " Black power, Maci Grey, ShockaCon" But Thank you, you've inspired me to let me hair down again lol

  • I love your hair... If I saw you in public I would ask you what you use on your hair, run out and try to get mine as healthy as yours...

  • yes i get this all the time too lol!

  • when i was natural know one ever asked if I was wearing a wig they was like yur hair is beautiful, pretty. even at the beauty supply the chinese lady told me I don't need a wig my hair is beautiful

  • <3 ur hair!!!!!!!!

  • @rldudas Why, Thank you! :-D

  • LOL. It's funny seeing all the comments, Where You guys can relate to this situation. I KNEW I wasn't the only one. LOL

  • I get the same ish girl that aint her hair I saw that at the beauty supply its the way they say it ppl always want 2 touch ur hair I dont ike that u need 2 ask me believe it or not if I say its real then its real I give them the ugly face like if u touch me its gonna be a problem I use to wear weave and when I did I would tell u so why now that I dont rock a weave its a problem u can rock ur hair any way u want its ur dang choice FYI I think ur hair is real fly haters are motivators

  • OMG my hair isnt as long as yours but i got that too this pass week!!! Im like no boo boo its all MINE lol..Your hair is freaking BANGING!!!

  • just jealousy, ive had people send someone to follow me and check. Like its unbelievable. Ugh

  • LMFAO!!

  • I'm guilty. I thought it was a wig because of the magnificent color. Your personality is as big and magnificent as your hair. Nice.

  • @atinob43 Why, Thank you Love! :-D ~God Bless~

  • Lmao!!!! "I seen that at the beauty supply store for 59.99" Im definitely subscribing lol :)

  • whoa crazy speaking... sum lady in sallys was like oh your hair is pretty and she was gliding her hands in my hair and she goes oh i see its real and not fake.. im like uh yea its my hair. i cant stand ppl that touch all up in my hair because they dnt believe its mine until they feel all in my scalp it really makes me mad.. and then just the other day my manager says to me "oh i see u got some extensions put in your hair" i was like no its my hair."

  • Woww

  • OMGOSH I am watching this video for the first time today. I had my 14 year old daughter watch it with me and we both could not believe what you were saying. All my life i've been asked the same thing no matter how I wear my hair. I now wear my hair in locs and still get that question because of the texture of my hair. She also has locs and gets the question What Are you? Where is your mom From? You can't be all black? Your hair is to long? Just CRAZY!!!

  • girl you are hilarious!!

  • and you checking to make sure, lol!!! omg!! i am cracking up, lol!

  • I've been asked is that a "S" curl/ Jeri curl in my hair bc of my curls I look at them like do people even still get that in their heads anymore...smh ignorance

  • put their hands in your head!!!!! that's so darn rude!

  • What I find tremendously ironic are women who put other women down for relaxing, saying that they're damaging and breaking off their hair (with that white lye or creamy crack)...or that they're living the white man's lie and not embracing their hair. But then those SAME *back to natural* females will dye their hair blonde which damages the hair as well. Relaxed or natural, hair will break off if not properly cared for. Haven't folks seen non relaxed women with short, dull & damaged hair. I have.

  • It's like you got all these bright, bold colors competing for attention that screams at people to look at you. Then, if whatever you're wearing is colorful, it really makes you look like a walking, talking neon sign. I just don't get it with people belng so loud and silently obnoxious for no reason than just to be. Like glorified tattoos and piercings. I want to vomit when I'm in a store and being rung out by a cashier constantly flicking their tongue ring. It's just gross and NOT cute.

  • @mslegacy01 My aren't we throwing stones! Maybe YOU don't look good with red hair but it looks GREAT on her. Stop hating. Worry more about your body... not what others do to theirs.

  • @Sharipoo Thanks, Fam. Ironically enough, I didn't see that comment. For a good reason, too. Lord KNOWS it's hard for me to hold my tongue. LOL. Competing for attention? LOL. That has to be THE worse excuse, ever. I'll leave the comment alone, and let it sit: Unnoticed. Thanks for looking out for me. You're BOMB! <3

  • @Vivalacious Seriously I love your hair lol. Thanks to you and a few others I have started my own hair journey. Keep doing what you do! Much love :)

  • @Sharipoo Thank you. Same to you. God Bless! 8-D

  • LOL When my hair was relaxed, this girl told me how she always liked my hair and she always thought it was a weave. I felt both flattered and offended at the same time. Weirdest feeling in my life. LOL

  • When I wear my own hair they think it's a wig, When I wear a wig people are like girl your hair is so pretty and just growing so I just go with the flow. Who have time to explain 

  • people think I have a fake puff went i rock my own.

  • you look like my aunt. thats a compliment. <3

  • What an excellent post . . . thank you for the public service announcement. I like your style! Now, let me go and watch some more of your videos.

  • People can be so rude sometimes and not know with. I love your hairstyle and color. So glad I've found your channel.

  • LOL! Stop making me laugh..."I saw that at the beauty supply."

  • Girl, I am so glad I found your site! I love how you keep it real!:)

  • I was at work one day as a couple with their young daughter complimented my hair. I was shocked and embaressed when both of them accused me of either wearing a weave or using some type of curler. I told them "No,this IS my natual hair". The woman stopped but her husband continued to pretty much make fun of me as the woman laughed. Before they walked away they said "well,we were thinking about doing something like that to our daughters hair".Even my co workers were furious. People have issues.

  • I use to get that a lot when I first moved to the US. But I just start speaking in German and walk off! LOL Your hair is beautiful by the way.

  • @MsRemy6 LOL @ you speaking in German. Thank you so much for the kind comment! :-D

  • @MsRemy6 ROTFL LMAO LOL LOLLLLLLLLLLL OMG THAT WAS FUNNY LOL

  • lmao @ "Gotta fix my wig" too funny.

  • lmfaooooooo lordy

  • I think all black w0men wh0 have nice hair get weave checked...smh

  • Hahaha at scenario #2.....I can't stand people that do this....they even want to see your scalp smh

  • I know...makes me wanna ask..is that reaaally your brain working? or did someone take it out and replace it with retarded specialé?

  • @VoodooHoodooLady LOL!!!

  • we have been permed and pressed since we were young and don't know what our hair looks. told our hair was horrile and unmanagable.due to improper styling method many experience damage and have hair breakage and short hair . we need to realize with proper care our hair can be managed and can grow to longer lengths.we r mixed (from slavery) so it's not necessary to ask someone that. i guess they mean do u have a parent of another race if u say no they still unsatisfied they want a genealogy tree.

  • I am subscribing!! -). I completely understand...sometimes people say some of the most "not nice" things when it comes to natural hair. How about this one..."are you all black...I mean you have to be mixed with something to have your hair curly like that..." REALLY? When I answer that I am african american...they are like "no really, you have to be mixed with something". Come on people. GREAT video...I look forward to following your journey. God Bless

  • @exmiranda LOL. That's what's up! Thank you, mama! :-D

  • girl that use to happen to me ALL the time when my hair was natural and long. don't talk about when you press/flat iron it, then they really think you are wearing a weave. I just use to laugh cause ignorance can be funny.

  • lmao! I love it!

  • The color and the fullness puts people in awe. I would accept it as a compliment because that means you have fantasy hair.

  • @c0c0puffz LOL @ fantasy hair. Thank you! I Will have to do that from now on. :-)

  • @AngelnBlaque Speaking in Spanish, though? LOL. Thank YOU! God bless you!

  • @Vivalacious Your welcome pretty girl.

  • Crackin up!!! I have once again gone natural for like the 6th time in my life. I am 33years old married with a 12 yearold son, and when I went to family function last week my cousin, said oh i love your hair and then he proceeded wrestle my hair with both hands like i was a little boy. I could have killed him; instead I punched him in the stomach, and said u know u dnt touch a blck womans hair!! bet he wont make that mistake again!

  • @craigntiffany Bless his heart. LOL!

  • LMAO! I've had gotten this question too. Most times its when my hair is looking a mess and Im like WTH would pay money to get their hair like this LOL? I wear a puff a lot so ppl think I have on those afro kinky ponytails.SMH mess.

  • @SimbaWM Yes. We need to let our hair chill out a bit. I know I can go through a harsh "hair manipulating" session, such as flat ironing. When that is done, I give my hair a rest. Example, I re-flat ironed my hair yesterday, and today I've been keeping my hair wrapped. I placed a cute little hat on to protect my hair as I went about my day. Chile, a cute hat with some nice earrings will look grand! :-)

  • bohemian kinky curly LOL funny. black people just dont think our hair can grow ......ignorance gets you no where

  • lmfao A MESS people are a damn shame for acting like black people cant grow hair SMH all these damn perms we wear done messed it up for us naturals lol

  • @NayBesa LOL.

  • @NayBesa

    ROFLLL .... True

  • Girl...love ur videos..very funny!! Im transitioning to natural and have been for 8 months. I get that same comment alot...is all that ur hair, how u get it curly like that? smh....

  • I am African American and mix and have island in me i have long black hair but i dyi it red its tha same color like urs and its in the middle of my back i had a white girl that i work with she ask why u choose red or is it your real hair cuz i want to be different and i like the color red and my sister say my hair looks fake lol but its always gonna be people that talk like that and wonder why they have red hair different color they just mad cuz there hair not as long or a pretty as our

  • BBwwwwwwwwwwwwhhhhhhhhhhhaahah­aahaha ..girl u are CRAZY..I am cryin'..hehehe

  • @askunique LOL :-D

  • girl....whenever anyone asks if my hair is real.....my answer is always "nah...it's just a weave"....they refuse to believe it's my hair when I say yes!...

  • @sams123973 LOL. Just tell them what they want to hear, huh?

  • get it together ok!!! lol

  • Girl...you had me ROLLIN"!

  • @tracey3563 :-D

  • Tell people what they want to hear, and they will leave you alone. I learned that a long time ago. One lady at my job kept asking me if i was mixed, and I told her the truth - which was no! I kept getting the same question until I told her yes- that I was mixed and I invented something and told her. Her response was "I knew it! I knew it! I just knew you were mixed. People will believe what they want to believe.

  • @jacienz Dawwwwwg. That is crazy. Smh.

  • Janae you are sooooooo stupid girl I didn't know you were so silly!!! LOL

  • @fergusongreen Yes, chile. That is me to the "T". LOL.

  • hahahaha, yeah that's right get it together..

    hahahaha

  • lol, that's right they need to get it together.lol

    Your hair is gorgeous!

  • @ebonyrose316266 LOL. Thank you :-D

  • Damn it, I knew you looked familiar but I couldn't place you for anything until you said Sally's. I remember I asked you the same question (scenerio #1, of course) about a couple of months ago. You were polite and we talked a couple of minutes. I personally was blown away by your hair. The color is awesome and the bigginess of it, is overwhelming. I had to do a double take myself because it was so awesome but to say out loud that it HAS to be a wig is just rude and country.

  • @SwanLakeLibra LOL. I'm JUST now seeing this comment. Thank you! I thank you for being one of the more "in tune" one's. LOL.

  • lol i just found your channel yesterday and i LOVE you personality!! lol this video is HILARIOUS!

  • @CAPACHiNOLove Thank you so much! :-D

    ~God Bless!~

  • They are just haters so next time this is what you do write down or better yet get you some business cards with your youtube channel info on there so they can follow your journey and learn something and then they will see that they too can grow their hair lmbo

  • @cortrell99 LOL. Not a business card, Cortrell! LOL.

  • @Vivalacious yes ma'am cause since they want to make it their buisness to know if its your hair then give them one honey chile lmbo these people a trip you hear me LOL

  • @cortrell99 Ha! Yessss!!!

  • I love you girl, I feel your frustration. I've gotten the whole "weave" thing, and I think it has to do with my complexion. I'm a deep brown, and many people believe that blks cannot grow long hair.smh. In your case, it may have to do more with the color of your hair that gives people the "wig" vibe. Some people just cant grasp the concept of anything outside of what they believe to be true. Stay positive and God bless you ;-)

  • @dnyknight05 Thank you so much! :-D

  • Great video! I've had people run their hands through my darn hair! Really!?! Can't you just believe me when I say it's mine!!

  • @angelfac3007 LOL. Exactly!

  • I walk up to people and I say : Your hair looks super pretty! Do you do it yourself?"

    Some people don't wanna admit hair isn't theres. All I have to say is pretty hair is pretty. So why it matters if it's home grown or paid for..

  • Your hair looks great!!! Keep up the great work!!!

  • @benjaminscameron Thank you so much :-D

  • Kinky Bohemian Hair. LMAO. Nobody asks me that. But I would take all of it as a compliment. Like it's all too good to be true. Yes, my hair is mine and yes, it is too good to be true. :) Haters wanna hate. :D

  • @ubergirliz1 LOL. Girl, sadly, I was just asked this again last night. Except, not that my hair looked like a wig, but the person seemed confused that this was all my hair. Smh. LOL.

  • @Vivalacious People just jealous. Don't let it get to you. I kinda can't wait until I am asked if it's a wig/weave, because then that means, that I have done my job to take care of it and it looks nice. :)

  • Someone asked me me that one time, but they said weave instead of wig. And they asked me in the negative way. See I'm a smart ass about stuff like that. I told the person the brand is called Genetics and it was made by DaNA :p

    They rolled their eyes and walked off.

  • @loveshinae LMBO! :-O

  • @loveshinae HAHA!! i like you. ima use that line

  • @HimeGirl15 lol

    thank you :p

  • Oh my god, I get that all the time ! People . .(Especially African Americans) seem to be surprised when they see a black women with a head full of hair. Um, yes, we can have pretty long full hair too . .Smh.

  • "you making us look crazy!" Love it!! And you're so right. Some folks should really get it together.
