In youtube search type in "Black Women and Their Hair - One Mo' Gen" watch the video and this "Black Woman vs. Their Hair"

Many women just have no idea what to do with their natural hair. They resort to the easy but more disasterous way out, that is the introduction of perms, relaxers, texturizers, dyes, weaves, and etc.

It's hard growing up in a society that tells you that you should be natural and beautiful. But when you dedicide to let your hair out (kinky, afro textured exposed) the same men, boys, women, condemn you for it. Our society is OBSESSED with STRAIGHT European textured HAIR!!! I mean on the one hand can you blame black women and children for wanting to emulate these styles. We are told that it is beautiful, and PERMING your hair is the SAME as wearing FAKE HAIR!!! Yes it is the same, that is NOT the original TEXTURE OF YOUR , therefore it is JUST as fake.

Im not knocking weaves and perms, I mean there are some advantages such as being able to change your hairstyle frequently. But dont forget about your own natural hair styles.

This is also for black men that use texturizers --believe me, that is where this aLL began. Please read up on the history of chemicals on African American textured hair. See that the women did not START this fad.

This video is to help you understand that your hair is your hair and you can NEVER hide it for long.

Stop running from your hair.

Below are some references if you are intersted in learning more about your nautral hair which include hair styles, tips, and much more

  • @sheliene12 We have the most unique hair in the world. We cover it up because it is short from all the damage so now many cover it up. Most women like long hair. not all but most. We can have our own long hair. We just need more education that we have not been getting. Thanks to YouTube and alternative natural hair care products, I am learning. No longer a slave to the perm. Now my natural hair is on my shoulders.

  • Do you know how many beautiful natural hair styles for black women? with the right leave in conditioners and and softeners without perm, you can get that hang time. Depending on the length, you can wet braid your hair just in a few sections over night and take it out the next day. What you have? instant wavy crimps that wont wear off. Oh yeah. You don't have to be afraid of going to beach or pool anymore or worry about a drizzly day. wear it in a bun and keep it moving.LOL!

  • This video is very true. We have been programmed to destroy and then hide our natural hair constantly looking for solutions to fix it with more hair poison. How many commercials on American television do you see about natural black hair care and to grow it? Many know perm and weave well but not to many natural hair care solutions to natural hair. I remember just for me when I was young and my hair was long. I went perm and never saw my natural strong hair length again until I stopped.(*_*)

  • THANKS FOR THE VIDEO!!!! This is so on point!!! I sent this to everyone of my friends and fam.

  • As an Indian woman, I find it a bit odd that there are 100s of videos by black women describing how to look after Indian hair weave. It's strange that a woman would attach something that has come from another body to her natural hair, unless of course it was falling out because of cancer,then there are wigs. Black hair is beautiful and individual. It's not what's on outside that counts, but your inner beauty and the way you conduct yourself with others.

  • god gave your hair,like every thing else he gave you,who are you to tell god you dont like it?shame on you.you had better go back to church.

  • Relaxed, natural, weaved....as long as you are HAPPY and feel that you are BEAUTIFUL, who give a crap about what state your hair is in. Hair is hair. As long as a woman feels good about herself, and not PUTTING OTHERS DOWN IN THE PROCESS (ahem) then that is all that matters to me. wear your hair however you feel suits you.

    3 yrs napptual in november btw...

  • Our society today worships the white standard of beauty. Just look at all the media messages. Its gotten to a point where we hate ourselves. I don't wear a weave never wore any fake hair or anything fake. My hair is healthy. I will wear it shot and then 2 years later it will it is a lot longer. I keep it conditioned and trimmed.

  • see....Grown women....I have no issue.....you don't know that woman you don't know her hair either, but children.....I don't like to see children with weave on PERIOD.......

  • @chilla0803 No where in that book does the word "cursed" appeared. And that was a horrible job of taking the bible out of context. How bout u try readin it again...
