'Sesame Street' 'Hair' Video Goes Viral

[forgottenmaz]

I'll never know why people think cornrolls look good. They're quite ugly

[gabrielekhavirel]

i love this and my little niece does :)

[poopballies]

6 people don't love their hair.

[kiya123rocks123]

i dont like her hear

[asdsa1289]

That is so cute! <3

[AviloriANo1]

I wish Sesame Street had this when I was little.

I bet alot of Black and other ethnic people, including white people who has some curly poofs on their head would love to see this.

Luckily as a young girl I loved my HUGE head of hair, and I never shoved a chemical in it. Its still there, all natural. And it got more HUGE XD

[toxylmfao]

this is great i luv this message :)

[keelohh]

Willow is the cutest thing!

I'm not African American but I do have a head full of thick curls. It took me the first fourteen years of my life to realize the hair that I love my hair and what I have is beautiful, so I really like that Willow is helping other girls to embrace their pretty locks (:

I REALLY wish Sesame Street had a video like this when I was little. I would have been a lot more comfortable with myself. Thank you so much, Willow! :) <3

[singer10grrl10]

Being a black female i really appreciate this video. After being teased for years about curly hair im glad sesame street can give girls everyone a reason to be proud. BTW what idiots pushed dislike?!?

[pinkygirl1999]

whip my hair :p

[julydivaz]

great message to kids so they can feel good about themselves :)

[mishimu100]

I wish they showed this when I was a kid. I had "hair issues".

[scorpiolady73]

Good message to little kids...great job Willow

[thecrazyone1988]

now they need a muppet to deal with high hormone girls/women who grew mostaches and beards...I REALLY LOVE MY GOATEE, Mostache or Beard

[pamelolo4peace]

Yes, Willow, we understand that you love your hair, you have something else to say?

[PinkloverT]

Oh yeah. You whip that hair.

[singer99100]

thats willow

[nodoubt1299]

i like this video..and i agree with indeliblesoulsista....this is exactly what makes sesame street special.i grew up with this stuff..my son is 3 and watches this stuff...i think it sends a good message.

[mbchick09]

so what idiots hit the dislike button...

[editermination]

heck no da make black people stupid



[Dreamfinder1997]

I love this video. Who cares if it's directly about black people's hair. Little girls have a hard time when it comes to doing their hair and cry and fuss so anything to make it easier is a Good thing. There is a big difference between singing about ones hair then their skin color or "White-ness" so Get Over Your Self !

[vjacq88]

@Dreamfinder1997 Your funny.

[steventean]

is this a new song of theirs?

[AmayaElika]

Someone uploaded this with Willow Smith's song Whip my hair. :p

[sapphirebhs]

No offense but unless you are Black, more specifically a black woman, you will never understand the relationship we have with our hair

[vjacq88]

Suspect. 

[vjacq88]

What if it were a white Sesame Street character prompting "I LOVE MY WHITE-NESS, I LOVE WHITE-NESS" would it still be okay?

[vjacq88]

@Jamaari20 That is total Bullshit and anyone who believes that is insane when not being able to connect the two. Im black and yes I do agree with the emotional connection but someone being of another ethnic group isn't allowed to celebrate his or her ethnic background seems all but unfair, if it were the other way around. My maybe Im embellishing with the whole White-ness crack but it can be a touchy subject which I think is best left up to the parents to explain. Ethnic studies shouldnt be

[vjacq88]

@Jamaari20 Sooooo.......what? Your not telling me anything that I don't already know....I'm a Minority, hello lol. Dont kill the messenger. Based on current events and just the plain stupidity of some people, I just wanna note that this can go both ways and I hope that the reactions are the same. No need to write an essay. I like the message that it sends and what it promotes but Id rather teach and instill those qualities in my kid, then let an outside source dictate what my child will become.

[vjacq88]

@Jamaari20 ex: The Arizona ethnic studies law. There's a lot of back and forth between factions and that alone concerns me. You gotta remember that a child is a blank canvas and you have to pick and choose what you decide to paint...ultimately. lol here I am writing an essay. I feel that if you instill that in child, especially while young and knowing that they can misinterpret the meaning the results wont be that favorable. Id rather let them enjoy their youths a while longer. That why we have

[vjacq88]

@Jamaari20 Thats why we have grade levels. H.S. and College....

Anyway I love this vid and pass this on to everyone you know.

[vjacq88]

@Jamaari20 Since that's covered. Next Question would be

Sesame Street on religion.

That I gotta see. 

[vjacq88]

@Jamaari20 taught to kids.

Too each his own.

[vjacq88]

I'm on the fence on this one. I don't know whether to punch someone (Sesame Street) in the face or smile at this vid. I mean cmon who could not laugh at sesame street? But this promotes "ethnic studies." Its very low key but Id rather my child not see color....at all.

[CountryGirlNOhio]

Looks like fist bumper michelle obama. Stupid song.

[EcakCake2]

It only has about 300,000 views. That isn't viral at all.

[spotandedgar]

She loves her hair. Great. But how is this considered news?

[peonpiate]

How about Sesame street promoting a dance theme about White Ethnic pride ? Let me guess that would be racist, but its ok for Black people to be proud of being black. I see.

[ladylordess]

Viral?  Is this something that youtube is pushing, like some of the other videos that they push?! I've seen better Sesame Street work.

[pubtor]

hmmm

[TyroneTasty]

I AM ANGRY PERSON ON THE INTERNET! I HATE SESAME STREET! I HATE MY HAIR! I HATE STUFF! STUFF SUCKS! WAH!

[IndelibleSoulSista]

This is what make sesame street so special. It is such a privilege to instill values in children that will help them embrace themselves and others.

[CrazedWolfen]

This has gone viral? really? This is crap compared to earlier sesame street stuff.

[TiVo2Go]

Actually it is viral because there is a Willow Smith Whip my hair remix using this.

[JLR415]

I want my videos to go viral. :(

[longhairfan]

So uncivilied... 

[estheramie09]

For many adults on this forum this is for children,from ages 3 to 13,usually before they get perms,and have braids.Also this can extend to many young girls who have curly hair.Why make it so personal?And why say you prefer blondes?Do you tell this to a 5 year old?You show her a picture of a blonde child and say"I prefer this than you"?Thats bad parenting and racist!!!!!

[rehatiels]

Why is this viral?

[cdltpx]

Im going shave my head.

[amberTrichome]

lmfao @ creepy baby laugh

[ConsciouslyCreate211]

That's Cute!!!!!

[wildcatnip]

Never heard of a straightener?

[swordofisis]

she says she doesnt have to go to a beauty shop because her hair is beautiful the way it is..BUT THEN she has rows, extensions, perms.... I think this is teaching hypocricy!!

[k3w1b3an5]

@swordofisis What it's teaching is obvious. That African American women should be proud to wear their hair anyway they please and not worry about what American society on average considers is attractive like soft straight hair of white people.

That said, I'm white and I definitely prefer women with I guess what we can call white peoples hair. (long , straight, soft).

[PoppyCork07]

@swordofisis Man, why did you have to bust her out like that? XDD This comment is funny, though. Oh well, I love my hair...but I do need to get this mess done lol

[peonpiate]

@swordofisis she also wears her hair in every way EXCEPT straight. Yet nearly black woman in the US has their hair done to be straight. Odd huh. And as far as Afros go...I think I have seen one black person with that in the last 10 years. Reality is just that straight hair is seen by most men as better looking, even black men..

[Gvf77x]

@peonpiate I know plenty of guys who like curly haired girls, plus plenty of straight haired girls who wish they had curly hair.

Most, not all. Plus, not only black women have curly hair.

[breaktube]

...me too ??

[geffel]

Is this from 1973?

[IRONBULL777]

SMH.....

[colemantwebster]

maybe Amway global, has something to help that puppet fix that awful hair.

[NintendoClips]

they are running out of shit to rhyme, oh shit dreadlocks (twists) at 1:28

nice

[Vleesball]

muppets sux big time.

[Totothemonkey]

@Vleesball it's Sesame Street... not the muppets!!!!! Very different!

[Vleesball]

@Totothemonkey It's all the same shit to me : )

mmm.. i dunno why but i feel like petting you O_o

[geffel]

@Totothemonkey

Slightly different.

[swordofisis]

@Totothemonkey omg, the characters on sesame street are jim hensons muppets! FOO! theyre all muppets!

[Markleberrytoast]

it really does look good in a cornroll.

[BeantownJim]

Nappy headed muppet?

[jaowseph]

Well i dont like it!
