Curl-ism

Vlog about an incident at bible study that really made me think that people have an issue with curls in general.I used to think it was just a black issue but today I found out otherwise. Maybe it's not just an African American problem. I don't get it at all and was wondering what your take is on "Curl-ism" .

I hear that the people in Europe struggle with the issue of curly hair as well. I am always looking on youtube for different hair styles, and I come across them a lot. I was watching just this morning, that there is community of black curly haired women in England in a some kind of meeting on curly hair I think the meeting got a little heated as well. I cant remember any of it because I was in and out of the video, but they had some really good points. I love your videos.

Yep I know plenty of non blacks that deal with curlism, but I feel it's different in the black community because nappy hair is the hardest to manage, I say put it to the pen test. If u put in a pen in ur hair and can't shake it out u nappy if u can shake it out u just curly and I do get bothered by ppl who claim to have kinky hair when it's just curly and tangled cuz it's not the same problems, similiar but not the same.

totally agree with this when I went to the DR everyone straightened their hair but plenty of ppl there aren't naturally like that. My family's hair was nappy curly heck looked just like my mother's in the morning, would they dare go out with it that way no sir! My hair was like an enigma there, some kind of concept ppl cudn't wrap their mind around, a lot of ppl thought I was Haitian because of it.

First of all Sis, this is your channel, and you don't have to issue a disclaimer on your faith in the our Creator, Next, I have seen this curly issue with whites as well. I work with elderly women, and they are always trying to make their hair lay down, add water to smooth it, etc. It's interesting. Also, I've seen it with a white coworker, she wears her hair pulled back, to not dispay the curl, and she uses a flat iron to str8ten it. I'm like, tisk tisk.

I don't necessarily think we are against curly hair- I feel that it is more about here in america not empowering our girls to feel comfortable within their own bodies- from their weight to the hair- i had straight bone hair as a child i got a curly perm as a teenager and it totally changed my curl pattern- now its curly all the time and i have relaxed it other things- everyone with straight wants curly- if you got curly you want straight- it the lack of teaching differences and acceptance

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm wasn't familiar with Beth Moore's bible studies. I've seen her on television a couple of times, but now that you mention it, I may see if I can find her at Half Price Books. Thanks for sharing.

It was more so of not knowing what to say. but, since when does having wavyish poofy hair makes it nasty? I've always admired naturally curly hair, before I knew mine was! lol. If we all love our selves it will force other people to love you as well. (to a certain degree : )

I know I"m late on this discussion, but you are right. I have noticed that people of other races that I work with begin to freak out if their straight hair starts to go wavy or poofy? One of my co workers told me that when humidity hits her hair it begins to get puffy, and it looks nasty?? I didn't know how to feel because, being natural of course, my hair is naturally poofy? )
