good hair bad hair???

[prettyyoungthing90]

they reason why it's nappy because they don't know how to take care of their hair... if they do then it won't look bad

[halloweencostumelove]

I THINK GOOD HAIR IS HEALTHY, MOISTURIZED, SHINY,SOFT, AND THICK. BLXK HAIR IS NOT NAPPY. I AM NOT GOING TO LIE SOME PEOPLE HAIR IS NAPPY. WHEN I SAY NAPPY, I MEAN DRY, TANGLED, THIN, ROUGH, AND WEAK. THUMBS UP IF YOU AGREE.

[yummytv101]

WHAT BLACK WOMEN NEED TO UNDERSTAND IS THAT THE HAIR ON YOUR HEAD IS ACCEPTED BUT NOT TO WHITE SOCIETY..ONCE YOU ALL STOP TEXTURIZING YOUR CURLY HAIR AND PERMING YOU UNIQUE TEXTURED HAIR THEN YOU WILL LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND START LOVING YOURSELF..TRUST ME ITS 2011 ITS NOT THAT HARD TO LIVE JUST GO TO COLLEGE OR DO SOMETHING WITH YOUR LIFE AND BE FREE AND BE YOURSELF AND YOU WILL MEET WONDERFUL BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE ..WHITE SUPREMECY WILL NEVER TRICK ME LIKE THEY HAVE DID MY BEAUTIFUL BLACK SISTAS

[STRAlGHTSClENCE]

IMNANCE i have to agree. Ive always loved black womans natural hair!!!!!! im just glad someone like yourself can see this and proudly wear your hair like youve decided to do.

[ramonantonio13]

well I'm from north america am swarthy and a few months ago I moved to Dominican Republic and I'm in a sculpture to learn to speak Spanish and many people especially women stare at me today was not because I realize that it is for straight hair, long black Elecha I have and I am fair-skinned women I speak and I do not understand your hair is so like me in that country is fanstastico

[Butcharoooo]

We African Americans do have bad hair. why is it that we are the only race in the entire world that has BAD hair? why do African Americans try to cover up how they really feel about their hair it is bad hair! we are cursed with this stupid hair!!!!

[lmnance82]

@Butcharoooo i am really sorry you feel that way about yourself but i don't share your views at all. i hope one day you realize that you and your hair are beautiful. God made us in HIS image and he didn't make any mistakes.

[lustporn]

@Butcharoooo I can't believe u feel that way maybe you said it just to get a response well u getting it I feel like Black people have the most beautiful hair cause we can rock any hair style do you know whenever i went to school which was mostly white they always asked me how do you get your hair like that can you do mine so don't get on here saying stupid stuff like that

[juren6ify]

@Butcharoooo Im dominican and my hair aint that good lol. No hair is bad or good trust me be happy with what you have

[Maeghan417]

@Butcharoooo um nooo....I have 2 disagree with you when you say that we're the only race that has "bad hair". OUR HAIR IS BEAUTFUL AND MANAGEABLE! I don't understand why would you even say that because it makes no sense and it's not true. If you shampoo and condition, trim your ends, and protect your hair then you obviously have good hair. But if don't take the time to give your hair tlc, then that's when you have bad hair. Texture has nothing to do with it...hair is hair!

[flatlanderdot]

@Butcharoooo Good, and bad are relative. Common sense. There is no "true" belief.

[Kelz06081984]

@Butcharoooo Hi, I know I am late because you posted this a year ago.

I am a Black female and this made me sad. Bad hair is hair that is not taken care of. Good hair is healthy hair. Have you seen healthy Afro textured hair? I promise, you will have an Hair-gasm! lol. Healthy Afro textured hair is so beautiful!

I relaxed my hair and it was the worse decision EVER! My curly hair is lovely when I take good care of it but like any other hair, it looks bad when I don't take care of it.

[anime4reek]

Tell 'em sista!!!

[anime4reek]

(Claps Hands) Tell 'em sista!!!

[foreverprofit]

I agree, We are vercitile I love it, Stay natural

[WhatDiamond]

[WhatDiamond]

lol if u wanted to do wat we do u cud ? but it looks like a wig and dont move, lol

[WhatDiamond]

oh my dayz. LOL

[samuri526]

your opinions are overshadowed by that annoying rattling sound in the background.

[browntee7]

Love love love your perspective. I share it. Reading some of the comments though makes one wonder how we can prigress

[bryan24u]

you hair is nice and yeah im tired of people asking me if im mixed just cuz my hair is like a spanish girls hair but curly its annoying i mean black people can have nice hair to and NOT be mixed

[Butcharoooo]

@bryan24u yeah right!!!! we can not have "Good Hair" without being mixed black people with good hair are mixed stop making it seem like we can hair all textures of hair. most blacks are mixed so ones with "good hair" is going to be a little different then a black person who was not mixed.

[bryan24u]

@Butcharoooo no im telling the truth just because your mad that your hair is nappy dose not mean that im lying

[Butcharoooo]

@bryan24u i don't have nappy hair im half black. i am just replying on this because im mixed and because i would mot have the hair that i have now if i wasnt

mixed

[bryan24u]

@Butcharoooo ok

[fmcneillii]

@Butcharoooo Mixed people can have any type hair just like blacks can. You are sad as hell.

[dipsetking27]

damn those teeth look strong

[bettyboop04]

I love your hair! I tell people the same thing about mine "I can manage through my hair which is a good thing. If you use the products I use, you can easily have the same type of manageable hair. " Love it! Take care!

[Maskedhaven]

What is that clicking sound?

[lisageorgina1]

If I put gel on my natural hair i would look awful! even after 45 mins...gel dont make my natural hair look cute so yes... you must have good hair!!!

[reneechant28]

Thank You!!! You're right Black Woman can be versitile!!! That's the beauty of it. Hair is Hair!!!

[Fangirl77]

That's awesome! I didn't know putting gel in hair would give it a definite curl :D

[amcb2005]

My hero! lol

[janaysworld16]

reply to "winston111000999",

im black you fuckin imbecil. and i dont wear WEAVES/EXTENTIONS and my hair goes pass my back...if only you coulld be better educated dummy...and our hair wasnt meant to be straight mother fucker because we have naturally curly hair. go learn something.

[MzBeauty68w]

totally agreed, What I hate more is for black people with a better grade hair , sit and bash their own kind. Im like I dont care what you are mixed with becuz bottom line ....you still are black. Your hair is what you make of it and I cannot stand the lame comment of ignorant folks.

[xBeacxHoney]

damn i agree....what she said at 2:30-2:50... Its so true and the rest after that is true

[LRoshae]

HEALTHY HAIR IS GOOD HAIR!!! why do most people think that black hair grows slower than other races? everyones hair grows at the same rate, the length depends on how you take care of it. and why do people think that our hair cant grow past shoulder length? google it yall look on hair forums... if you take care of your hair properly it will grow!

[AngeliqueRenee1]

thank you! and amen

[gmcmim]

winston-I agree with you. I do like natural hair more. It looks more interesting.

[LookinSpify]

lol ...if u ask me i say shes got bad hair... ..thats my opinion

[coolin7000]

In your video you remark there is no such thing as bad hair/hair grades-not true. Just like your hair may be considered "good", your cousins's "better" and so on, there is such a vast specrum of african hair grades, more variation in our race than any other combined ,as far as texture-thats the problem. The longer your hair can grow. the more accepted you are. If youre a 1/2 inch-fro ,butterfinger bb's,steel wool-no comb penatrable nappy ,youre fucked. No one will want anything to do with you.

[coolin7000]

The black race is the only race with the short hair gene. Frusterating. Many black people can easily achieve shoulder-length and longer, but many blacks also have varying degrees of short maximum growth. In extreme nappy cases, the hair never exceeds 3-5 inches maximum stretched length. this is particularly distressing on black women,but what if you were a dude who wanted braids and your hair would never grow past the top of your neck.? Sucks. It has nothing to do with hair texture.

[janaysworld16]

this would be really sad if you yourself was black...your a fucking hypocritical bastard who is talking about the african american race but you have no education or knowledge whatsoever. you do not know us or what we go through. and there is no such thing as "short hair gene" DUMB ASS!!! many black people have long hair which you fail to realize...learn about the GENES and better educate yourself.. so lame.

[MediumThickness]

And for all you know don't know natural differs from person to person. Short and curly is not the only natural look a black woman can rock, she can have braids, a low close cut, straight/long(no chemicals of course) dreads and so on and so forth. Those woman who chose to go chemical free "Go on with your bad selves" Good and bad hair is in peoples minds. If you are happy with your hair and its healthy the that IS "GOOD HAIR"

[MediumThickness]

90%? I beg to differ! weaves are popular in the african american community NOT because it allows us to look like white woman BUT because i offers those who chose to wear them variation. The majority of my friends who wear weaves do so because it keeps from damaging their own hair with frequent color and style changes. My point IS this!! BLACK woman CAN do their hair like a white woman, CAN grow their hair like a white woman! PERIOD!! Your staments are uninformed & unintelligent.

[MediumThickness]

I disagree with you. I am a black woman who is not bi-racial and my hair is straight and silky and down to my bra strap all this w/o a relaxer (just time and a flat iron) so its obvious that you didnt know that black comes in many flavors which include hair type, skin tone, size and shape. I also disagree with the girl in the blog to a point. We shouldn't get caught up on good and bad hair BLACK women are always going to have that issue. It goes back to slavery. JUST DONT let hair define you.

[aprillove2000]

Love your hair...I'm transitioning now.

[habbogal840]

ur hair is very short

[ebonyarko769]

Woooooh! Nice hair mama...I got that nice hair too (natural hair) !

[watchfuleye2008]

Great Video.......I too believe there's no 'good' or 'bad' hair but different grades of hair.....some things my 3b hair does a 4a cant and vice versa, but as u said, that's what make our textures and grades of hair so wonderful.....whats going on with your hair now....u havent posted anything in a while!... Blessings*

[tgoeden24]

that is so true girl

[Aparatchik09]

OK, I'll make it simple:

1. The Dred Scott comment was pure sarcasm, to show that homographs exist.

2. The OED (the definitive source on the English language) has no record of the word before the 1950's - look it up.

3. If you want to take part in an academic dick-measuring contests, I actually hold a PhD in History from the University of Sydney. So I guess that trumps your Masters, doesn't it?

4. Try to use capital letters to start you sentences. That's how people write English.

[Aparatchik09]

5. Oh, and the occasional element of punctuation would not go astray either.

[Raje2]

i agree in general, but you used some incorrect terms. first, the only bad type of hair is hair that is thinning and falling out (like the hair of a lot of our sisters with perms). second, the term "dred" is short for dredful. "dred" is a white supremest term and incorrectly discribes the state of the hair in the hair style. the propper term is locked. your hair does'nt dredful it locks. thanks for the positive video sis!

[Aparatchik09]

Oh so that would explain Dred Scott, would it?

Seriously, dreadlocks was a name given to the style by black Jamaican youth in the 1950's.

If you knew you history, then you would know where you're comin' from...

[Raje2]

defending your white supremest terms i see! OED my ass! you white folks think if you don't have it documented then it doesn't exist. you're the reason the general public is so ignorant of the past. if you resond to my LAST comment here then you need a life. get you fat ass up and away from your laptop.

[TheRealShortyBrown]

i agree with you sista

[dreaxoxo20]

the same happened to me when i went natural. ppl have told me i have good hair and i nicely say "there is no such thiing"

i find natural hair to be easier to manage if you treat it right.

[hope518]

why are we the only ones with nappy hair why couldnt god give us pretty hair

[msmikamika]

chuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuups­ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss­ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss­s

Nothing that God created is Bad or ugly!

[peaceluvNnappinness]

black hair IS pretty, it's just that the standard of what is 'beauty' has been defined and imposed on black people for centuries. lets redifine that and start loving ourselves:)

[olakunde]

Fool! Our hair is the original hair! Our hair is pretty and we are the only ones in the world who have it! Love yourself!

[desiredwish16]

If you notice when you look around at all the races, their hair is more managable, straighter. sometimes., most white ppl have the same complexion, so do a lot of other races. God made black people dark with nappy hair for a reason, we are so unique. In africa ppl had dark skin because the sun was hot, they had nappy hair beacuse it protected us from the sun. Just beacuse someones hair is curly doesnt mean they have good hair. its how you take care and maintain it.

[janaysworld16]

"hope518" i hope you will come to realize that God did give you pretty hair and you should love your hair. i think you might have been brain washed by the media to think your hair is ugly. they are trying to make black people succumb to think STRAIGHT hair means your hair and you is pretty but thats not the case at all. i hope you can understand and not let those fake asses get to you like that.

[michtenn16]

what gel u use?

[flavamagazine]

WONDERFUL VIDEO SISTA

[morenabella13]

The reason why so many of us feel that our hair isnt manageable is because we want it to "conform" to someone elses idea of "civilized". if we just got up, washed our hair & went out of the house, it would be quite manageable, but not "acceptable" to us. white girls do that all time, b/c society tells them that THEIR hair in its naturl state is just fine. WE (blks) are constantly trying to make our hair look "neat" and "done". We are using someone elses standards for whats appropriate for us.

[flavamagazine]

WELL SAID SISTA

[MsClassyBee]

i could not have said it better myself. Our hair is beautiful, we need to just love it, accept it - and stop living up to the standards of other people. we are fearfully and wonderfully made by God.

[DolceVita]

i agree with you 1000%

[morenabella13]

i totally get wht u are say'n about "manageable" hair, but wht we fail to realize is tht "manageable" is relative. Of course kinky/nappy hair is wash n'go. We just dont accept what it LOOKS like when we do it. its all about context. a wmn in a traditonal African tribe who is not trying to 'control" her hair, will find her hair is quite manageable & looks great in a wash n go, cuz the styles she wears reflects HER culture/beauty standard, not someone elses. What she finds acceptable is different.

[Ezu8T]

What your Dad said was very wise. I love this video. But, you do have good hair, beautiful hair, just like everyone else who takes care if their hair.

[Kiereney1]

ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO SISTA...THANKS

[glowmo123]

i agree with alot of the things you say. can i ask you a question? why do some black girls add soooooo much oil to their hair. an old friend of mine (black friend) i remember she used to always be scratching her hair and she said it was because the oil itched. then she touched me and she added all the oil to my hand. i asked her why did she add so much and she said that because black hair grows so slow and the oil keeps the small hairs in place.

[lmnance82]

thanks. black people add oil to their hair b/c out hair doesn't have enough oil on it as other races. notice that whites wash their hair more often b/c of oil build up. b/c our hair coils its hard for oil to secrete from our scalps to the ends of our hair. i only apply oil to my ends and rarely use it. there are alot of ideas on the use of oil but i don't apply it to my scalp. everyone is different and using oil excessively isn't a "black thing"

[lmnance82]

black hair doesnt grown slower but for many with dryer hair it breaks as fast as it grows. also it is very curly so it many not appear to be long when it really is. many of us don't know how to care for our hair and beleive that oil makes it grow. my hair is only different in texture not composition from yours so if it lacks moisture or oil i will add it. i wash is often and it is healthy therefore it is neither better or worse than anyone elses.

[saniarb]

I think that people lose perspective on what is good in life. I believe that good hair is hair that grows on your hair. There are people who wish they had hair... period! Your hair is GORGEOUS. No doubt about that. My hair is very kinky but I love it because it is thick and healthy! People just need to stop with all of that good hair bad hair and just love it. Love makes anything good. Peace and blessings. Great comments!

[lmnance82]

i couldn't agree with you more... God didn't make anything or one ugly we make those judgments and i am tired of them. you gotta love and have confidence in your look and the rest will follow!

[KimLeeX]

I'm also sick of it so preach sista ever since I did my BC all of a sudden I had good hair. And everyone wants to touch it... I think good hair is natural healthy hair. And as black people we all need to start thinking like that and break the whole good hair bad hair cycle. whats your hair type by the way???

[lmnance82]

thank you! yeah people are always saying i got nappy hair or bad hair why because its dry, coarse, short, and probablly damaged. and then they try to straighten dry hair but using drying chemicals. we have to accept what God gave us and make it beautiful. experiement with different looks and make healthy hair top priority. straight hair isn't good hair its just hair like everyone elses. btw i think my type is 4b but i am not sure.

[blessedone337]

great vid...by the way do you know what your hair type is? your curls are rock'n!

[lmnance82]

thanks! i think its a 4b but i have to check... that's according to andre the guy who does oprah's hair lol. i have an s curl pattern but some parts are rougher than others. i hope that helps.

[plymplom]

wth...i typed "good hair" looking for ppl with cool and good hair, but all videos are about ppl with bad hair....O.o

[yellowgirl18]

see the thing is I am mixed and my hair is nappy, or so people say. I feel bad because Everyone expects mixed people to have good long beautiful hair but I don't. I wear braids all the time. People tell me I am lying about my race. But I'm not that is just the way my hair is.

[lmnance82]

i don't know why people ask me if i am mixed (i'm not) or assume that mixed people and only mixed people or people from other races have good hair. totally not true. in fact some italians i know have kinkier hair than i do. just because your hair is kinky doesn't mean its not beautiful, but you have to find what is beautiful about your hair and rock it.

[trinigyalwiner]

You are so right! Speak it to them sista!!

[goody2shoes164]

"make people want what you have... don't be envious." Thats going to stick with me forever. and your right we can make many styles; but white folks can't get a coil or a puff.

[lmnance82]

its all about self love

[expertonmyself]

I just did a third and final cut this weekend, so now I am finally relaxer free. I showed 2 of my best friends pics of my curly fro and they asked the same/similar questioned you mentioned, "What did you put in your hair to make it curly?" I replied, just water! One of them jokingly said "B, quit lyin'. That ain' your hair!" *LOL* Little do most black women know, that we all have the "good" hair! It took me 15 years to realize that. I just had to get rid of the relaxer to find out.

[lmnance82]

its amazing isn't it. black women ask me all the time if i have a s-curl of all things lol! and the sad thing like anything else you can't tell people you can't even show them they have to find out for themselves. i know because i was a skeptic too. but now that i have done it i can't believe that i had a relaxer for so long what was i thinking. thanks for the comment can't wait to see pictures!

[akiliworthy]

You tell em girl! I am so sick of my people subscribing to that myth of good and bad hair. All hair is good...Just comb it, and take care of it!

[vivacious1083]

I couldn't agree more!

[1Cammyb]

You are 100% correct. People told me "You must have good here" when I first transitioned, and did my big chop and it drove me nuts. Ignorant black people need to be informed and not conform to what the world says is 'beautiful'

[alkanye]

All hair that is being taken care of is good hair I feel you sista!

[ImNotYourFriend212]

I agree

[hottest60]

wow some of u must not know the definition of a nigger it is a ignorant person and as this lady talks she seem very educated to me

[lmnance82]

thanks! that was an ignorant person who wrote that i deleted their comment and blocked them. no use empowering them further or entertaining them :-)

[billk18]

good video my hair is naturally curly and i had white people tell me i am not black enough they said your hair is not nappy like the other blacks yes i think black have the best hair

[honeegrrl]

Or sometimes it's the way you speak too. Because I speak with correct grammar, I have been told I'm not black enough.

[redfootwalking]

You are an incredible person! I am soooo happy to have found your videos!! I appreciate you sharing your stories with us! Thanks!!

[marshagrey]

lol i totally agree with

"vajayjainyourface" shes amazing

[conundrum11]

I LOVE how you love you natural hair, I respect that. But I'm a black woman with nappy hair and if I could change it to straight hair I would in a second! It's now 2:30 in the morning and when I could be sleeping, I'm unbraiding my hair so that I can only get it rebraided again tomorrow afternoon. I like the idea of washing my hair everyday, brushing/combing it w/out pain, being able to jump in the pool without a cap, and more. Doesn't mean I don't wanna be black but, sorry but dat's my opinion.

[lmnance82]

if u want str8 hair b/c u think it would make life easier u should have it. thats a personal choice & im not here to judge u. i never said it makes u n e less black. my problem is with black women who have been told that their hair is ugly & unacceptable & as a result they sra8en their hair. every1 has their reasons 4 stra8ening their hair but 4 the ones who do it out of insecurity they owe it 2 themselves to makes peace w/ who they are. i luv my hair & am fine with who i am, i want that 4 all

[latia4u]

I totally agree with you Imnance. This is what divides and handicaps our people. I guess because I had nice permed hair some people expected something different when I cut it off. Even family members who I thought liked natural hair seemed to have nothing to say to me when I did it. I am so tired of this but I can say with out a doubt that I love my hair. It was what I was born to look like. And how could I fault a creator who would honor me with such a gift. I am beautiful. luv the vid.

[tazzybaby92]

gurl u rite

Imnance you are the BOMB!

thanks for considering it.

NQ 2008

[lmnance82]

thank you

[maamesaf]

what does 4a and 3c mean???

[lmnance82]

if you read "andre talks hair!" by andre walker (he is oprah's hair dresser). he breaks down the different hair types. from type 1a to c or straight hair, 2a to c or wavy hair, 3a to c or curly hair, and 4a to b or kinky hair. thats the way he breaks down hair. 4a has a s curl pattern and 4b has a z curl pattern. most black women are either a 4 a or b. i like how he breaks it down but he doesn't really talk too much about issues concerning our hair after but its still an okay book.

[GApeech08]

I have 4a curly hair similar to yours. I get the same comments ALL THE TIME about my hair, you got that good hair, is that a texturizer, what do you put in your hair to MAKE it curly? I hate the comments/questions and sometimes I come across a little rude when I respond. I don't mean to, but I just get so tired of hearing it. Hair is just hair. I wish more people would accept that.

[lmnance82]

you must have read that book by oprah's hair dresser andre :-) i loved how he broke down the hair types. you are soo right. i love my hair type but i also like the z pattern hair too. when a woman who knows how to take care of and style her hair who also takes pride in her look it is just as beautiful as any other hair type. i am a firm believer in finding out what works for you and rocking it THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS BAD HAIR :-) thanks for commenting!

[michmich1000]

you are telling all kinds of truth!!!!!!!!! i wish more people thought like you its the same reason i went natural why should black women have to feel like we need straight hair to be beautiful when it already is? by the way you and your hair are beautiful!!!!!

[ugimmefoood]

I LOVE MY NAPPS! and your hair is absolutely beautiful! as i've said on someone else's video, i'm not anti-straight hair, i am against the mentality that black women NEED perms because they have "bad hair."

[lmnance82]

thank you! you are so right, couldn't agree with you more. i think so many women are brain washed into believing that relaxers are the only way to style your hair. however if that is ones choice i won't knock them but i do urge black women to find the beauty in themselves, :-) take care!

[RocknRollDina]

good hair is healthy hair that's my philosophy

[lmnance82]

couldn't agree with you more, healthy hair... i like that

[MagicStyleAtelier]

I agree there is no good or bad hair - for any race. Believe it or not: people always seem to want the hair they don't have. If it's straight they dream of curls and vise versa. Just for the record: European hair comes in all textures, yes I have even seen white people with a natural fro. That's not very common though. More common is wavy or curly hair. I think every culture has a good hair bad hair issue - but it is all in our minds.

[likefiur]

sooo what she is trying to say is your hair be on the corner robbin liquor stores???

[nurib83]

im tired of hearing it too

[1andonlyDEl]

I think alot of black people (or at least my family) are so not use to seeing natural "black" hair that they don't know that it looks just as fine as any other hair type. Its that whole stereotype on natural hair of what India Arie said "lookin like a slave."

[lmnance82]

that's true and its because people especially family buy into those lies that our hair isn't good that we NEVER give it a chance and enbrace it, but i am happy to say that me, my mother, and two sister all all natural now and we love it!

[1andonlyDEl]

Amen. I come from a family of "good-haired" belivers as well, and (I'm a guy) when I stopped cutting my hair and started growing it out, my mother would say she was happy I had my dad's hair (wavy and loosly curled), or as my aunt says "that pretty hair". As you said, I don't really have "good hair" its just that I wear it long with gel or whatever.

[lmnance82]

that's funny that you have them fooled, lol. people ask me if i have good hair and i tell them no just good hair product lol!

[vajayjainyourface]

okay..but how is black hair the most beautiful if NO race can immitate another hair type. cause we all can see through weaves, and perms, and relaxers.. O.o

[lmnance82]

let me remind you that we are not the only race who wears weaves, perms, and relaxers. but again THESE are MY PERSONAL opinions, thanks.

[vajayjainyourface]

i know that african americans arent the only ppl who wear, and do those things (im not ingnorant) BUT they wear it the most.

[lmnance82]

you don't know nor can you prove that, but listen i appreciate your response take care.

[vajayjainyourface]

its logical, and obvious that its true so there is no need for proof, when it is clearly visible. MAYBE your in denial..

[vajayjainyourface]

how the heck is "african american" the most beautiful hair? you say its the most versitile, and that other cultures imitations of black is hair isnt the same well neither is african americans. when white girls braid their hair it doesnt look like blacks ppls but when black people straighten their hair,(or weave) it doesnt look the same(same thing with curls). sooo black ppl cant have the most beautiful hair because its just as versitle, as any other hair type...

[lmnance82]

i am informing black women that i personally think it our hair the most beautiful hair and versatile because we can wear it straight, wavy, curly, dreaded, braided or weaved without the use of chemicals if we so choose because in the past we were mislead to believe that chemical relaxers were the only way our hair would be socially accepted.

[vajayjainyourface]

sooo can people with curly hair. soo who has the most beautiful if you can do the SAME exact thing?

[michmich1000]

why are you hating on the girl shes just encouraging to love themselves leave her alone

[vajayjainyourface]

no one is hating on her, well at least not me. if my honest comment is too much for her than maybe she should take her, and hair, and disable the comments. i personally dont really care if you persist in thinking that ima hater, but w.e you obviosly didnt read my comments well, and i dont give 2 shits.

[michmich1000]

i've been told the same thing too...its a self hate term...my hair isn't good...its just hair...hair doesn't make a person...the slave mentality comes from eugenics...hitler believed good people...were blonde haired blue and green eyed...the same standard he used is in our world today...when your black your black...does skin tone or hair make a person...no

and dont you think that some african americans are trying to take our styles when they go as far as relaxing there hair and perming instead of you ALL going natural?

i think a lot of black, not all women are insecure about their hair bc they are told from an earlier age that it is ugly & unacceptable by others within & outside our culture. for ex in some of areas of the country it would be hard for me to get a job with my natural hair even today. there isn't infomation out there that tells us how to treat our hair. so as a culture we relax it to make it straight bc we dont know what to do with our hair and to be accepted, not to be white. its not that easy!

um thats because of all this media trying to convince us that the way our hair is is not beautiful what do you expect when your whole you're told you you are not beautiful.

i appreciate that, it means a lot thanks :-) there was a time that i didn't feel this way and never saw myself the way i am now. what i realized is that i didn't love and appreciate the real me... thank God i woke up and realized it doesn't matter what others think of me, what matters is what i think of myself, take care :-)

i get your point and i do agree with the "theres no good or bad hair"

but just like you said that people from other cultures can do the same hair styles as you but it wont come out the same..its the same thing when african american people try doing hair styles like other cultures..when you get perms, relaxers, and weaves it dosnt look like our culture..soo its the same thing just the other way around..

i agree with you. i do my blogs to inform & encourage black women that their hair is beautiful and manageable just like any other race (not trying to be or copy another race). im my opinion i think we have the most beautiful hair. i want other black women to know that their hair is versatile and can be straight or curly without the use of chemical relaxers. many of us have been told 4 years that it is not and i am here to dispell that myth.

i use to go to a lady to get my hair relaxed i told her i was thinking about going natural she said i did not have the hair type to go natural.She told me her hair type "good hair" could go without a perm but not mine" Hair is as good as u make most people just dont know that. that is why u tube is so important u get info on natural hair care and meet other women that know how beauitful natural hair is

[BAMMBAMM09]

well ... I don't think that there is a manageable hair or unmanageable hair ... per se ... I think that hair is hair and that there are many different textures ... just different hair.

[lmnance82]
