Why is your hair nappy? Part 1 of 4

[Venusstar22]

The word ""Nappy"" is NOT a very beautiful or positive word to use to describe afro-textured hair....it is rather insulting. The correct term would be 'coily' or even 'super curly' due it is intense high concentration of curls which gives it that fluffy and puffy appearance. And NO "Kinky" is not acceptable either.

[PecsInDaCity]

If you relax it after it's been natural and finally healthy, it'll just break off again anyway when the new growth starts coming in. Long healthy hair is so much better. Not only does it grow longer when it's natural, it stays long too.

[angelchild829]

The ignorance on this comment section is beyond belief. Why is the top comment telling off an imaginary white woman? This is why we are stereotyped as "angry black women." Whenever someone says something that is offensive, you want get all loud and angry. No matter what the perpetrator said, you end up looking like a loud fool in the end. I'm so sick of the stereotype, but when people give thumbs up to calling a person an uncooked chicken, I don't think it will ever go away.

[MsLaDyMaRmAlAdE121]

@angelchild829 Finally. I'm glad I'm not the only Black person on the video with some sense.

[TeNecia010]

yeaa that was funny when ol gurl was talkin to God in her head lol

[Zarthus]

I'm white and I laughed because it's a joke. Yeah it's a 'racial' joke but we all, regardless of color of skin, do tell them. Guess I don't consider it 'racist' so much. Black girls get their hair straightened to 'look like white chicks' or that white girls get tans to 'look like black chicks'? There are whites with nappy hair and darker skin and there are black women with naturally straight hair and lighter skin. Best to just do what you want and not think that way.

[queen5300]

hahahahaha!!



[PuNkiPC]

this is so rediculous it's funny xD

[chelaway]

People, just shut up and laugh okay? Just up... but LAUGH!

[iLikesMusic01]

@chelaway i so agree with you ... people should not make this out to be something racist and just be like... OMG THIS IS SO FUNNY LOL

[chelaway]

Like lol

[RimahVideo19]

Old...next...let's talk about progression.

[itsdanimariee]

Why is this turning into a race war? It's a fucking cartoon, meant to be funny. White & black need to stop getting so heated over it. Everyone is a little racist, let's just be real. I'm black & I didn't get offended over the video & I read some comments of (i'm assuming) white people saying that black people get their hair straight to be like white people. That isn't entirely true for every black girl. I get my hair permed & straightened because it's more mangeable than nappy hair obviously (:

[empressshuk]

@itsdanimariee What are you going to do when your "permed & straightened hair" starts falling out from repeated usage of chemicals?

[itsdanimariee]

@empressshuk Well I know lots of older women who still perm their hair & they have all of it still. If youperm it the right way & take care of it properly it shouldn't fall out unless you have some other underlying issues. So that's not an issue. It's not like I perm my hair every day.Plus, I don't know anyone personally who's hair has ever fallen out from perming.

[LelaIsEpic]

My answer to her question: CAUSE IM BLACK BITCH.

[MsMadame]

Recessive gened, pink-skinned, jealous-hearted, Albino women should not focus on the diversity of balck beauty.

They need to find ways to stop coming down with skin cancer.. And nix their fetish for plastic surgery. News has it that the recessive gened AlbinoEuropean race is dying. Now thats where their interest should lie, that and having more babies. The Albino woman beauty myth came about via ad agencies, propoganda & white media. My dark and lovely, sistahs, you are QUEENS!!! Peace!

[freshtendrills]

@MsMadame Wow, you sound incredibly ignorant, and insecure. Its a cartoon, and all of you morons are worked up over it. You all sound insanely jealous. If you want to get mean about it, its your continent thats full of fucking aids, with witch doctors running around, throwing fucking spears.....and being a complete shithole. I think you need to get off the computer and go help clean your own neighborhood, before throwing stones at other people. Sistah....ppffftt!

[empressshuk]

@freshtendrills Watch what you say about Afrika it is the Motherland of all civilization and yes she is sick with diseases famines etc I know for a fact you would not go over there talking this BS to any of them especially the witch doctors they'll put something on you that you thought was impossible and have you all messed up.

[iStaceyBaby]

It's not a trying to be white or being natural is better thing. It's personal preference. Stop being so uptight about it. It's HAIR, not who you are.

[hollidayjj]

pahahahaaa i am weak .

[felonyoungmoney]

@AsiaNecole123 u cud not of said it better!!!!!

[PrettyNPink9986]

i used to have long pretty hair..but it was wayy tooo nappy tocome and it was tough and yeah. sometimes you have to admit that your shit is nappy, i had to get perms. but then i wanted to go natural again but ididnt wanna go to school becuz all the white kidz dont understand how hard it is, and i didnt want anybraids so i just went back to perrmms :(

[nanalong49]

wow what is wrong with wearing ur hair like that who cares if its nappy im black my hair was like that and there is nothing wrong with that

[EmpressSakama16]

Black girls are the only girls with Thick Hair, only race on the planet all others have fur like a lion or cat, or a dog. It's a known fact that we are the only ones with hair, why would i want to be anything but the best?

[empressshuk]

@EmpressSakama16 Right On!!! You took the words right out of my mouth!!

[kaindu3]

damn..if she said dhat to me ..i would smack dha white out of her (nt to be racist)

[TheManiNicole]

what the fuck I just watch?

[teddy12290]

I'm a black girl and I'm not natural I am relaxed. However, I am all for women taking care of themselves as long as it is healthy. The best quote I ever heard on the matter was in the movie Good Hair, If you're woman (Or you woman) are not happy with your hair you will bring pain and suffering to everyone til you are. Relaxed/Natural Black/White are we really going to have this argument until the end of time?

[darquenaturalbeauty]

I'm natural and proud to be! I love my healthy kinky curly hair <3 I've had relaxers and all they did was damage and break my hair. my hair grows faster thicker and fuller now. And I hate when peope say why would you go natural. weeeeellll it's better than having to relax it every 4 weeks and I love the things I can do with my hair.

[JTuesday777]

@darquenaturalbeauty I've been natural for the past 1.5 yrs & hate it for the most part. Got a bad style & my hair burnt so lost most of it so I had to grow out the relaxer and start fresh. I think the reason why I don't like my hair natural is because it's even nappIER than most African American hair types. Honestly I've never seen tighter curls than on my own head & it makes managing my hair, or just washing and styling it in anyway a nightmare.

[JTuesday777]

@darquenaturalbeauty I WILL agree with you though on one thing, since I've gone natural I've experienced hair growth faster than any other time in my life! (had relaxers since age 7) That part you said about faster growth is definitely true for me, but I will go back to relaxers when my hair reaches my desired length as the disadvantages for me far outweigh that one advantage.

[ThExKiDxCuDix]

The reason black peoples hair is nappy is a natural adaption that we posses to combat lice and parasites, white peoples hair looks like monkey fur thats why they can get lice and parasites.....no racist, just sayin.

[EmpressSakama16]

@ThExKiDxCuDix

That's what I'm saying people with nappy hair have HAIR all others have FUR

[VictoryBacon]

Before I got my hair permed, I wore my hair in braids going back, This boy came behind me one time ( he was hiding from someone I think) and then he was like "I'm not gay!" It's funny now that I think of it lolz

[luxuriouslady5625]

The ironic thing is, you would Never get this from a white women, it's always black women who say things like that to other nonconforming black women. I don't have the patience or the want-to to go natural, but my hat is off to the sisters that do.

[pacAmor101]

@luxuriouslady5625 That's true. I haven't had a perm in a year and four months so sometimes I wear the natural look at the white girls are the ones complimenting me. My sister do to but I think its becoming more of a trend and i'm loving it.

[luxuriouslady5625]

@pacAmor101 Proud of you and your hair journey; I hope you post pics of the process. Wish i could go natural, but I can't find a natural style that looks good on me so I end up looking like a mess because my hair gets hard and thick. Plus, I look better with longer hair so it would take years of growing my natural hair to reach a place of comfort. It makes me want to cry sometimes because I want to represent my ethnicity and our unique hair but it just doesn't look right on me.

[BronzeSista]

@pacAmor101 Whites may compliment you but mostly they are just being polite, and thanking God their hair is not coarse and curly like ours. If you hear them complain how they don't like frizzy hair, thats a good indication that they don't like coarse thick hair. Read between the lines....Most Black women when they complain about natural hair have been conditioned to hate coarse hair by the Euro society we live in.

[cbrstunter24]

wtf...retarded video

[CrystaltheWaterLily]

To be honest, I didn't even know there was a term for hair like that until I saw that Tyra Banks episode. I don't even know if a lot of other white women do, so a white woman asking seems a bit odd.

[amberjarae]

My fiance is white.

[biggfingger5]

For the "queens of all mankind" as stated above,I pose a question. If the traits you list are so very desirable,why,may I ask do I see tons of African-American gentlemen in pursuit of white women? This is just an observation of what I see in my geographic locale.Seldom do I see the opposite,i.e. a white gentleman in pursuit of an African- American woman.Just curious.Not "hatin" as they say. Just what I observe.

[LilDP]

@biggfingger5 Can you please tell us what you are trying to say instead of doing this "I'm not trying to imply anything" bullcrap. No one said it was so very desirable, but you're clearly trying to say it's not. The answer to your question: Culture is influenced by the upper-crust society. What you see the rich do and wear is desirable. The type of car that the upper class drives, the type of music blasting on the radio. Desirable. The majority of the upper class is composed of White Americans.

[LilDP]

@biggfingger5 So you tell me why you think this is so. And by the way, I see tons of black AND white women going for black woman. "what you observe" isn't a valid source to imply whatever crass statements you are trying to imply.PS: This is all coming from an "African-American gentlemen." P.P.S. Quit trying to sound so polite when implying something like that. It just makes you sound look arrogant. If you're trying to say something, just say it. Yeesh.

[biggfingger5]

@LilDP All I offered was my observations. Are you so easily offended?Read what I had written. It was based on the observations from my area. Thats all. It may indeed be different where you reside.I,by the way am not arrogant,. Perhaps you were/are confused when presented an idea or opinion with which you do not agree? The statement wasn't intended to be polite,sir. Just well stated.

[LilDP]

@biggfingger5 Oh come on. Now you're just trying to insult me. Questions are raised for two reasons, to gain insight or to make a point. Your intent was clearly not to gain insight. Queen of all mankind in quotations? Explain that then if your question was not pointed. What really upsets me about your comment is the point of her comment was to raise black women's spirit, to make them feel that they should not be put down upon because of the texture of their hair. What was the point of yours?

[LilDP]

@biggfingger5 Now, I understand what upset you about the comment above. Clearly she was being fallacious when she said that white women want to look like black women. Well, It's partly true but it's also true though, that many black women want to look like white women. (Hair) Does that mean that those traits are "undesirable?" No. But I don't appreciate you turning around with an "opinion" that is a blatant attempt at tear down black women in retaliation. Don't sidestep the REAL issue.

[biggfingger5]

@LilDP The real issue,ma'am,is that you want to be offended. The supposition on your part that I am in any way,evading any issue,shows complete lack of understanding when presented a clear and concise differing point of view. I offer to you ,ma'am that we would all choose to look different than we do. I do however,envy you. Yes,I do. It must be a gift from the cosmos to be able to determine the meaning, behind the words of another.Also,dear lady,the word is "facetious",not "fallacious"

'

[LilDP]

@biggfingger5 1. Faceticious - Treating serious issues with deliberately inappropriate humor; flippant. Fallacious - containing or involving a fallacy; illogical; erroneous. How embarrassing. Your fallacy: faulty generalization (yes, you forced me to look up the precise term. 2. I completely countered your opinion yet you haven't spoken on it. At all. Not once. Who's not being evasive? 3. I'm a guy. Perhaps we should end this conversation? This discussion really isn't going anywhere.

[biggfingger5]

@LilDP Agreed. I am bored. Happy Holidays,or Merry Christmas. By the way. You cannot counter an opinion. You may dispute it,disagree vehemently with it,but until,and only until you persuade the other to change their view,is it countered.,your terminology is incorrect.Glad I could help you,to help yourself  with your vocabulary.Have a nice day.We are indeed done.

[everagej]

@biggfingger5

Question. Why do you make such sweeping generalizations based on your own insignificant personal experience? Are you not aware that according to the U.S. Census Bureau that 75% of African-American men who are newlyweds are married to Black women? The truth. Most Black men prefer, primarily date and marry Black women. I think you are seeing what you want to see.

[everagej]

@biggfingger5

Reality check. Recent U.S. Census Bureau reported that 75% of newly married African-American men are married to Black women. Truth. Most Black men prefer, primarily date, and marry Black women. Fact. Most Black women don't find "white men" attractive and can care less if they can pull one or not. Stop with the delusion.

[FUwogs]

nappy head hoe's

[shred305]

Dont forget the white girls doing plastic surgery for the "Bigger lips"

[pepigabby]

best acting ive ever seen ;)

[lilblakkat]

@pepigabbyLOL.  I know right?

[Aerchain]

i would have said biotch not chick

[AsiaNecole123]

if i was the black girl in the video and she came to me and ask me why my hair so nappy and you should straightin it and if you do you wanna be white then ima say why are you so white you look like uncook chicken then i would say you should get a tan to look darker like the rest of use take a look around most white girls get tan to make there skin darker so stfu

[jfizzle1229]

@AsiaNecole123 LOL @ the uncook chicken part.. hahaaa

[AsiaNecole123]

OMG JUST BECAUSE A BLACK GIRL STRAIGHTING THERE HAIR DOES NOT MEAN THEY WANT TO WHITE THEY ARE JUST GOING FOR A DIFFRENT LOOK AND IF AN WHITE GIRL PUFFS HER HAIR DOES NOT WHATS TO BE BLACK I SWEAR THERE ARE SOME DUMB ASS PEOPLE IT JUST HAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Vessoland]

I am a black woman and I agree that natural hair, no matter the race, is beautiful.

But don't hate on the blacks to straighten their hair or whites who curl their hair. It's a personal preference for most peope. I keep mine straight because it is more convenient for me. Look at it. Could you imagine all of that in an afro? x,x

[dark86moon]

"Are you serious" lmfao, i died XD

[goodmorningchap]

@ariesblack78 Generalising such things about white people (inplants etc) is just as bad as generalising about black people. Put downs are put downs, in any context.

[BlackSapphire8804]

Ditch the fakery!

Bring Back Natural!

We can process our hair to be like theirs but, Ours is unique, nobody else has hair like ours...like the one and only creator! Doesn't this tell us something.

No-one else can do it like us!

You can't get anymore exotic than Black.

Be Proud and be Natural Black!

[MzBRiBR22]

@cgiwattgrrl99 That's not true, I have had plenty of white people approach me with similiar questions.

[screwsalliemaedebt]

This is why Latin is the best, not black, not white but in between :-) LOL

[abckhh]

@screwsalliemaedebt no race is best. We were all one race back them, all other races come from africa (formally pangea) and as u move further south n north of the equator characteristics changed.

[screwsalliemaedebt]

@abckhh I was just kidding. My best friend and roommate is from Jamaica. We are really over racism.

[screwsalliemaedebt]

@screwsalliemaedebt By the way, I agree with you on your comment.

[4everyung06]

lolololl this is funny

[MonsieurMercredi]

This was hilarious! Politically incorrect, but I believe that it can reach individuals that don't understand that there is beauty in features that are not associated with their individuals group. This video is AWESOME!

[mistervanderveer]

Lol get rid of that nappy hair, it makes you look ridiculous and no one takes you seriously.

[RawrItsCupCakesz]

hi how did you make that video? :)

[kashaherum]

So kewl putting the JAP in her place

[piricarmen]

WONDERFUL!!!! SOOOOOOOO AWESOME!!!!!!! We must educate and reprogram the mentality of the misinformed masses. I just love the stupid questions!!!!

[mmorrellwilson]

That's very funny.

[3Corine3]

lol i'm loving these

[aibcomeback]

Dear God. Please. Give me the Strength. To not go crazy on this chick.

LMFAOO

[MolassesMajesty21]

LOL that was funny she said "dear God please give me the strength" hahaha.!! ^_^

[mrtundra45]

blacks copy whites though.... weave industry is a Billion dollar industry... so is color contacts and skin lightening creams. ect.....

[411blah411]

@mrtundra45 No. Everyone copies everyone. Everyone wants what they don't have (and no I'm not referring to every human being on the face of the planet...I mean in general). Ppl with straight hair always want more volume and ppl with big curly hair want straight hair. And white ppl gets tans and guess what...they wear weaves too. It's just less obvious because they aren't applying a different texture of hair usually. But it isn't restricted to just hair, it's all aspects in life.

[jamarsgal]

@mrtundra45 and tanning salons, collagen injections and but shots are just SOOO uncommon right?

[mrtundra45]

@jamarsgal black models use but silicon injections......

and tanning salons are to get tan......not burnt like coal....ive never seen a tan negro. LOL

[jamarsgal]

@mrtundra45 and ive never seen a black person turned white from colored contacts, bleack and weave combined

[trinidamfreak]

Hmm y do I feel insulted by dis ?

[411blah411]

When someone of a different race asks why I wear my hair like that (natural), I want to ask them why they wear their hair natural. I bet they'd realize how silly they sound. I wear my hair like this because that's the way it grows out of my scalp. It's as simple as that. Why is my hair kinky? Because my parents are african american....simple. This is the way I was born and I refuse to punish myself for that. I love everything about me including my kinky hair.

[Ranzalove]

@411blah411 Yeah one of my friends who's white asked me "Why wear your hair like that" and I became confused and I said "Like what?" and she replied "In an afro, why do that it's just bringing attention to yourself. Straighten it, I have a flat iron." I could not believe she said that too me. I love my kinky curly fro =)

[MolassesMajesty21]

@Ranzalove once she said "why do yuh want to bring attention to yourself" at that very moment it should've clicked in your head that she was jealous of your hair lol thats why she wanted yuh to straightin it so it can be boring && flat like hers.!! #HELLO

[ilovethedarq]

@411blah411 That's a funny!!! Sometimes people from other races act like if you don't relax your hair you are committing a crime!!! lol!

[smokesignal216]

@ilovethedarq Well I hate wearing a bra & I like being nude. When black people look at me funny for that, I am like I have seen them nude national geographics videos about African tribes not changed by Western society with them women naked. It was like that everywhere in the world until some men in power decided they needed to cover it up then sell their women by uncovering it again. As for hair, I got thick medium brown curly white people's hair cause I'm white. I bleach it blond as ancestors.

[johnlambjr18]

@411blah411 u only can wear fake hair u mean why is your hair like that.......... the more u know

[411blah411]

@johnlambjr18 Ok...your comment isn't exactly coherent. I'm not sure what you're trying to say. Are you saying that I can't grow hair out of my head? That I can only wear fake hair? Please clarify...

[1551Serenity]

@411blah411 yes its really rude how people can act. For examle i was at a GS meeting and i live in a mostly white neigborhood so one of the girls asked how often i wash my hair and i said mabye every other week and she called me disguisting for not washing it everyday she obvisouly dosnt understand black peoples hair so she shouldnt be trying to act like she does

[royalcoils100]

Thank God ladies we are finally recognizing how truly beautiful we are!

[JaciRaquel]

I really wonder why people want their hair relaxed. Then there was a Tyra episode on it, and the little girls got their hair relaxed to fit in and not get picked on. Some parents even did it to their children when the kids didnt want it. Maybe thats where people get the wrong idea. I hate stereotypical people that think every person wants hair like theirs. Because its supposedly "good" hair. Fuck that. Natural is the way to go :3

[CPNLP]

Macbook voices lol

[gigiroxx123]

ha jokes

[loveshinae]

I swear this made me think of the an inccident. I'm natural, and I was talking to this boy and girl at my table about it. For some reason the girl ( who was white btw) asked me (in a conceited manner) "Don't you wish you had hair like mine?". I sad "no", dryly. She looked kinda surprised at that.

Weeks later, same girl, told me I need to do something to it and straighten it. She was the last person to tell me that. Her hair was breaking and severley fryed. -_-

[Jmike0907]

@loveshinae there is a old fashion hairstyle don't require a perm to straighten your hair it's called a Press N Curl you should try one of those out.

[loveshinae]

@Jmike0907 No, that's okay. But thanks for the suggestion though. I already know what a "press n curl" is, because(1) that's what some of the older women in my family use to straighten their hair. (2) That's how my grandma use to straighten my and my sister's hair before we got our first relaxer. I don't I'll be using that b/c I'm trying to use as little heat as possible.

LOL. one woman even told me she felt like she was doing me a favor by telling me to my face and not whispering behind my back like everyone else was. ha ha ha. i had to pray just like the sistah in the video did.

[ariesblack78]

black women never forget you are the queens of all mankind hair is only a surface issue.. being able to overcome oppression of men of all colors,discrimination in the work place, and still be a good mother and wife. you should love your hair in the natural form because those white girls are getting tans,implants, and braids to look more like you.. I salute you all..

[ariesblack78]

naturals have never left. just kinda took a back seat to the fake stuff for a while

[TechKnowStudio]

I've got some things to say to you Supersoni about Black hair you never heard before. I get to the 'root' of the issues. LOL

[TechKnowStudio]

The white girl makes an interesting point.

Black women have a history of wearing their hair exactly as white women do and even buying white dolls for their daughters and teaching their Black daughters how to comb the white haired doll and fashion the white dolls hair. Black women combed white women's hair for hundreds of years as slaves and began to love it above their own. As knowledge of self is restored 'wooly' hair is now more acceptable among Black women.

[EmpressCarm]
