It’s sad that some people can’t just accept the fact that black women can have healthy long hair.😞 Also even worse when these same people are black themselves and saying this crap. #Pray
Isa IsaLee Yep. I black with African features all day but because im natural and have "high yellow" skin, people think my sisters and I are mixed. I've even heard of black girls with a skin tone as dark as Lupita getting asked that simply because they had long hair. These stereotypes.
But ladies let’s be real, aren’t we all (black Americans) technically mixed?? 70% African and 30% something else, Im sorry, but that sounds mixed to me Lol. You may not have a parent of a different race, but technically and DNA wise, you are MIXED. Why do black people hate to accept this?
silkiilocks Or why is it so many Black people are quick to declare “being mixed” as if it some prestigious, elitist group? I’m sure every person in this world can declare being “mixed”, but is it really necessary to pinpoint that 13% of this, or 3.2% of that? I’m more interested in why many Black people feel as though being “mixed” garners some sort of importance as if being Black isn’t enough. 🤷🏽♀️
Marchers Clark the issue for me is not whether people feel being just black isn’t enough, that’s something people have to work out within themselves. I’m just talking simple facts and the fact is that most of are not 100% African so why get upset when someone asks if you’re mixed when technically and factually you are. That is the point I’m trying to make.
Lets be honest. The reasons they get the "Are you mixed?" question is because they are PRETTY and have all that hair. People don't believe black women can be beautiful being MOSTLY black. They also fit into a trend today of men liking "exotic" or "foreign" women. Im not trying to be offensive by saying they look exotic. Im just explaining why they get that question. They don't fit the racist stereotypical look of black women. They are not overweight, they have real long hair, and they aren't ugly by a long shot. Its sad that people cant believe black girls, especially African descendants of West Africa can be beautiful. They prove those notions wrong though.
Amelia Watkins Hmmm? 🤔 So racists usually see us as overweight and unattractive? I don't believe that for a second! They might be ignorant, but they ain't blind! And sadly, the MAJORITY of the people who assume the twins are mixed are BLACK people, not racist white people.
Miriam Hobbs Sadly I've spoken to racist and they do believe much of that. So many believe we all wear fake hair because we cant grow our own. So yes its ignorance as well. However, many still see us as the least attractive women. It is not as prominent today as it once was though. Black women's beauty is not being recognized but our womanhood and beauty has been attacked for centuries. In this way we kind of have it worse then black men.
Amelia Watkins i think because %100 west africans have a naturally kinky hair type. The looser texture doesn’t come in until you mix the genes with something from elsewhere. The kinky hair texture is so unique and beautiful and should be praised not shamed
So wrong my hair is lose and my mother is light skin black with curly hair and my father is deep chocolate with wavey hair their parent are black and I can get going stop putting black people in a having only certain features. If you go to Africa you see different parts or regions where these girls hair is normal to see.
WTF are some of you on?? ROFL! This hair sits like your typical good quality WEAVE. Look at around 2.24 when the one on the right moves her hair aside...lol. The delusions out there...SMH.
And you're probably just ANOTHER her wig -wearing self hating b...h that can't fess up to the bullshit, lol. No one is saying they don't have a certain type of hair - or even long. It's just not what you can see here (if you haven't got fk'd up eyesight).
p.s. Dyamn (fool) Ilol lol lol - thanks for directing me to the others videos. *100 %, 24 carat WEAVES* being worn while naive muppets like you praise their 'natural' hair ...PMSL!
You’re both way more black than I am genetically and I have 4c hair. People having been debating cause your hair is of a looser texture. News flash your hair being loose doesn’t = mixed‼️
But they are mixed. They just read their results. Are you deliberatly being stupid? They are not 100 percent sub Saharan African, which means they are mixed, period.
Most black Americans aren't 20% European. That's an exaggeration. The correct number is 12%. You don't have to be 50/50 in order to be mixed. 20 percent non-African DNA is significant. And it can make a difference in your phenotype, as is evident in the glamtwinz. West Africans typically have type 4 hair. Type 3 hair is extremely rare. You mostly see it in East Africans, specifically the Ethiopians and Somalians.
This is so exciting!!! Im not surprised about the second highest percentage being European that is common in African Americans. I did this test too and my results were 56% East African, 28% North African, 3% South Asian, 3% European !!! I love watching genetics results videos 💕
3% European Wow u rarely see continental Africans with any European DNA with East Africans u do see Middle eastern admixture tho what company did u test with?
Y'all should do ancestry.com I think they're more accurate with the African percentages because they have the actual countries and not just the region.
How? If you look it up, you will see, 23andMe has a bigger reference population for Native Americans. It has a bigger reference population for everyone. And you know what? AncestryDNA doesn't even have Southeast Asians in their database. None. They also don't use samples from East Africa either. So, you see these videos with all these Somali and Ethiopians using AncestryDNA? Yeah, they're getting proxies. AncestryDNA can't process their DNA because they don't have samples for the African DNA of Horn of African people and Nilo-Saharans. They are getting proxies- the next best thing, the closest things they can find. And it's misleading. 23andMe actually uses samples from Horn of Africans and Nilo-Saharan people. Same with Southeast Asians. Southeast Asians show up as Southeast Asian on 23andMe because they use Southeast Asian samples as apart of their reference population. AncestryDNA doesn't, so on AncestryDNA, Southeast Asian shows up as East Asian, South Asian, and Polynesian. People take these tests, but don't do any research on them and how they work. That's how they stay confused.
*Whenever I watch these DNA videos it makes me want to get a test* ❤️🙌🏽 I wish they were able to tell you *EXACTLY* what countries you're from though 🙌🏽
Right! I would be more willing to do the DNA tests if they were able to tell you specifically which countries you're from. I wonder if there's an accessible way to find out
Tasheanna Marie I don't remember what company but I think it was called AfricanAncestry that was able to narrow down what African tribe/country you have roots in I wish I remembered because it'd be perfect🙌🏽
cellflove111 I read something about that before and if it's true it sucksss because people for people who don't know their history it seems like the only way but if they're doing that it's a rip off smh
A lot of Black people think they are more native then they actually are. We are most likely to have more European descent than anything else. Spanish people mainly mexican's are more likely to have native dna
ItspronouncedJulia You are absolutely correct. Due to slavery most African-American people have European blood. It's a bit unusual to find an African-American person who doesn't have white in them.
Most Latin Americans have Native American admixture. Dominicans average around 5% Native American, Puerto Ricans around 10-20% Native American, Mexicans around 40-50% Native American, Guatemalans around 90% Native American. There are also people who are 100% Native American as well like Mayans in Guatemala, etc. African Americans are around 0-3% Native American; but if they're from Oklahoma, they are likely to have more because they are more likely to descend from the African American people that were held as slaves by the Native American tribes and taken to Oklahoma with them during the Trail of Tears in the 1830s. One African American woman whose ancestors were owned by a Choctaw man who took them to Oklahoma with him from Alabama, was 9% Native American.
Right the slave masters had their way with those female slaves and had all kinds of mixed slave babies running around, that’s who most AA come from. Idk when that Native American trope crept in
ItspronouncedJulia I had a big argument with my father who calms that he is about 16% Native American and that my sisters and I may be about 10%. I said dad we are more than likely black and white period. The only one in our home that may be truly mixed is our mother. My mother is a biracial woman from Canada with white grandparents. My father loves being light skinned with "East African" features. He thinks because we are all high yellow we are mixed. No. He even had the nerve to tell me his family weren't slaves. I said dad you are an American black man born from black parents who come from America. You have an european last name. You are a descendant of west Africa and your ancestors were slaves. My father cussed me out because I said all of this. He insist that we are Native American and white and only half black. Sigh.
Yes. Without makeup I have to wait until they speak to know who is who. With makeup it’s usually easy especially if they are side by side. Some of those single photos do through me though.
Headchampion Yeah that’s true! And I like that breakdown, i learned a lot when i got my red but I am so interested in taking this test for the health report 😃
That's probably the ONE thing that I appreciate the most about Ancestry. I still want to take 23andMe to get other information not provided by Ancestry.
You ladies are still 100% correct to say that you are black. Being American Black is a mixed race and those are the normal percentages. Beautiful period.
RebornMommy0 actually Kendra's hair is thicker. Depending on how curly hair is styled it can be super full or more flat. Kelsey has mentioned her hair being thinner or less dense than her twin's several times.
I did the Ancestry DNA test. According to it, I’m 81% Sub-Saharan African, 17% European and 2% South Asian. Pretty much....I’m black and I’m black and I’m black. Lol PS: I still get you two mixed up, and I’ve been watching you for 4 years.
Dominique With A QUE Weird because south Asians don’t get any African in them. We get more Melanesian in us ..not African. I thought you got south Asian because of a DNA similarity.
I took the ancestry.com test and i got 72% African mostly being Nigerian. 23% European mostly being Spaniard and Portuguese (my grandmother is from Portugal) 4% Native American and 2% South Asian too! I think i will take the 23andme test to compare results and get the other aspects of the test that they offer
Finally you guys can prove your mostly black. I will never understand why people think black girls can't have long curly hair without being mixed with something ( smdh )
Richard Myles theres a girl who got 98% East African, and she had long curly hair. Hair texture varies across Africa. Think about it, East Africans who are mostly African have curly-wavy hair on average. Yet biracial Americans may have kinkier hair on average compared to them. It's really about what part of Africa youre from and talking about. African people have great genetic diversity
LOL...are you serious? There is no way you can say the average...unless you assessed ever single biracial person on the planet. You can say some...but not "mostly, average" etc...because you have no data to support that. One thing I do know, East Africans are not the same as black subsaharan for the most part due to the long history of mixing in those regions of africa. Geography does not always define DNA compositions and haplagroups. East Africans have a LONG history of being mixed with Arabs. So, then you have mixed east africans marrying and procreating with others who have a similar mixed background creating multigenerational mixed offspring(which genes do not expire).They are not the same as Lapita, Akon, Alec Weck which are black subsahran. North Africans are closer to souther europeans in physical features and haplagroups. South Africans are white, black, and "coloreds" which are usually multigenerational mixed race people(meaning mixed people procreating with other mixed people), indians(from india) etc. Example:SHOW ME DNA PROOF that a light skinned person can be black with soft curly hair and aquiline features(DO NOT INCLUDE BLEACHERS, WAAREDENBURGE SYNDROME and ALBINISM). No...it is called EDUCATION...black people DO NOT look like mixed people.... I rely on empirical research...not some ramblings on social media. Black Subsaharan blacks with no admixture are NOT light skinned people NOR do they have our features. EAST Africans are a completely different situation....they are closer to the middle east countries...and guess what? They have a LONG history of being mixed with Arabians which explains their mixed race features....and guess what? It also shows up in their DNA. Examples... Watch these DNA results....... EAST AFRICANS ANCESTRY DNA RESULTS Ethiopian, Somalians, and Eritreans are mixed race Africans...their DNA/cranial bone structure is closer to European according to anthropologists than black subsaharan people. th-cam.com/video/4a7Z8Q43cfw/w-d-xo.html Ethiopian DNA results (mixed) th-cam.com/video/0lsKKfSabtU/w-d-xo.html Ethiopian DNA results (mixed) th-cam.com/video/ZSxMfQqhXpQ/w-d-xo.html Somalian DNA results..

I feel like ppl think y’all are mixed because most ppl have a hard time believing black ppl can have your type of hair without being mixed. Great video I want to do something like this buttt can’t justify spending the money right now
What type of hair are you talking about, they clearly have 4A-B? It just grows long cause they've been natural & moisturizing their hair for along time.
Starr Vance Amelia Watkins i think because %100 native west africans have a naturally kinky hair type. The looser texture doesn’t come in until you mix the genes with something from elsewhere. The kinky hair texture is so unique and beautiful and should be praised not shamed
How are you going to say people "think" they're mixed when their DNA test clearly proves that they ARE mixed. Theyidentify as black but they, like most AA are MIXED RACE. If you put 3/4 coffee and 1/4 milk in a cup it's STILL black coffee or is it MIXED with milk? Now in Africa, most populations are PURE black coffee, no milk or cream added.
Ladies I am so excited! I am East African from Kenya. I am so excited you are 79 percent subsaharan African. You are Bantu like me, but your roots are West and Central African. Did it tell you your country of origins? I guess Nigerian and Congolese. Hahaha! Thanks for sharing. I love watching you guys. We love you in Africa! 😄😍👏👏❤❤❤
I just wanted to say that thanks to your video my twin sister and I found out that we were IDENTICAL TWINS! When I got my results back from 23andMe I could only see DNA segments that were "completely identical," but I couldn't see the "predicted relationship" with my sister. After a couple months, I came across your video and realized I didn't see the same things as you guys could see. I found out there were both some things we had to mutually accept to see this relationship. She wasn't home that day so I broke into her computer and account and mutually accepted things so we could both see the predicted relationship 😂 Our entire lives we had been told that we were FRATERNAL and NOT IDENTICAL Thanks a bunch, this changed my life!
I think this just speak to how society looks at black women. It’s unfortunate that people see beautiful women wearing their hair in its natural state so that equates to they can’t be black or African American. They have to be mixed with another ethnic group. #blackwomenarebeautiful
I get what your saying Tamiko but your argument is weak on this point these young women are mixed at the end of the day. They're hair could easily be a mix of Native and white since that is a part of their bloodline.
nativenchristian what are you talking about? I’m not making an argument for or against anything. I’m simply saying it’s AMAZING and beautiful being a black women. I’m not mixed with anything and my hair is curly and down my back when it’s straight. I’m offended that people think I’m mixed with anything.
Thank youuuu. people should stop saying Indians as a term for native Americans or something. Because I get confused if they are talking about Indians from India or NATIVE American ‘Indians’.
One thing is certain, no mater what ethnicity you are, you are gorgeous young ladies and judging from the way you express yourselves, you're also intelligent and well mannered. I salute you!
Omg I cannot believe that it's almost the end of November & you guys are still rocking your curly hair! This is the longest I've ever seen you guys go without straightening it during the fall and winter! 😘😘😘😘😘😘
Precious Cargo Indian is less painful to process on a subconscious level than European (white) which is why so many of our grandparents put that in our heads.
Commit2B Healthy I think you would be intrigued by Jordan Ramirez IKYG videos. The girl above, her info was a little scrambled but alot of it was spot on- I get what she was trying to say
My family did our genealogy, it’s sooo interesting. I don’t have the break down of like ethnicities because I’d like to believe I’m 99.9% African ! 😂😉 #DontAtMe #iDC I want what I want.
naxvh It's linked to Native American because that's where a lot of Native American ancestors migrated from thousands of years before they settled on the barren lands that are now North, central, and South America. In fact, there's tons of debate and conversion on whether or not Native Americans are distantly related to South Asians.
@@JasmineRenyse you must be uneducated and dilusional to say that, you really need to learn some history and geography before saying utter nonsense about other races... 🙄
I think it is easy to tell you two apart, but sometimes, depending on the angle, Kendra can look EXACTLY like Kelsey, or vice versa. I love that you guys did this. Have you ever thought about having your mom do it? Just to see where some of your genes stemmed from. I think I want to get one for my grandmother, myself, and my mom to compare. That would be interesting.
I am really not surprised that you two are approximately 75% West African. When I first subscribed to your channel, I used to say that you two look like the 'tokulore' tribe in The Gambia, West Africa (it's where am from too). Their ladies are dark, tall , and have beautiful long hair ranging from 3b to 4b hair type. They are very beautiful. They are similar to the fulani but are darker. Yaye to West African gals
23andme is ok, but i wish they did "ancestry.com" that one is better they let you know which country in africa, europe or asia you come from? that one is way more detailed
this sounds interesting, I am African but I now Zulu people aren't originally from South Africa and we are a combination of different tribes. It would be nice to know where my ancestors are from in Africa
Matsi Mdakane Interesting you said this. I'm African American or Black American and I took a DNA that showed most of my genetic cousins or ancestry came from the Tswana peoples. I was shocked because the slave trade was primarily in West Africa. Funny thing is, I've had South Africans tell me even before the DNA test that I looked like Tswana peoples. I was very delighted. It seemed to all make sense, I've always had a natural pull and interest in Southern Africa but could never explain it. This may be superstitious but once I had a dream when I was a teenager that I was with my people back in the day. I'm talking long before the Europeans came to Southern Africa. I could tell in the dream I was with Southern Africans and I was home. There was a ceremony going on and I was dancing and clapping. It was the weirdest dream I've ever had and never forgot it.
I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been watching y’all from the beginning but I can definitely tell y’all apart. Even during the vlogs when y’all talking but not showing y’alls face I can tell by your voice who’s who lol. #LoyalSubbie lol
Y’all only look alike to me when yall aren’t wearing makeup. With makeup it’s clear as day who’s who because of the way you each do your makeup and style your hair. But without makeup, y’all look just alike. I can still tell y’all apart either way though. This was a cool vid.
Loved the video ladies!!! I took the Ancestry DNA test and was very satisfied at how detailed it was. I still would like to try 23 and Me as well just to see if there's a difference between the two.
CurlyCreole337 Just remember that these are estimations...testing for ancestry DNA is not an exact science but I believe the tests come close. I have taken 3 tests with 3 different companies (including 23andme) and all results are similar. They will not be exact but they should be close.
,You young ladies are smart, very intelligent and have an inviting vibe. You are also both very beautiful, but the hair! Uhh!! Makes me just so damn sick!! With ENVY!! 😊 I am sick with envy! I'm absolutely envious and jealous of your hair!! 😝 I wish I were as lucky with the curls, but I wont hate on you for yours. You are both very blessed to have all the wonderful attributes that you do, including your hair ! I love that you are neither wasting these gifts and are actively contributing to the world. Many blessings to you both!! 😄
You ladies are 100% GORGEOUS!!! And very Intelligent also!!! Thanks for sharing!! After seeing your video I'm going to get my identical twin brother to take this test with me very interesting!
I love watching these kinds of videos so I was excited to see that yall did it. I just received my results back from Ancestry DNA two weeks ago and found out that I am literally everything. People have been asking since birth what am I and when I'd say black, they tried to argue like yeah but what else because you can't be all black. An Asian guy in the nail salon asked if I was part Asian, Hispanics see me and speak Spanish to me, a Middle Eastern guy asked if I was Native American. The joke of my family is I had to be Asian somewhere and I ended up being 2% lol. It was really cool to find out everything I am though, but I wish it could tell me what comes from which parent. It sounds like 23 & Me gives a lot more information beyond ethnicity so I'd love to take that test too.
You have to give them permission first. They don't own your DNA, and you actually have to sign something to allow them to use if for medical research. Most people don't have a problem for that. 23andMe especially likes research in regards to Parkinson's disease, because the owner's husband or whatever had the condition.
LoliceMe There is nothing on the form that asks you to give them permission which means they don't need your permission. The studies they perform aren't meant to treat the customers, they're to treat the public once they learn how to single out which genes cause which outcomes.
Keona jacobs yeah, it didn't make since for two people who they told have the exact same DNA can have differences in geneology/regions of the world origins. It's a total and complete contraindication. It's sad that they would dupe people that way.
Not sure why so many people think they have all this Native American ancestry. I can look at the vast majority of Black Americans and see their European features, even in my family. Most Black Americans are Sub Saharan African and Caucasian.
Part of the reason is that so many Native American women were rapped by European invaders and as a result most native Americans have a lot of European dna...especially the Cherokee tribe.
Teri Powell You should go out West, go to Canada and South America, nothing but 100% full-blooded Native Americans. I got plenty of Native American friends that don't have an ounce of white blood. Regarding the Cherokee.....The Eastern Band of Cherokee in North Carolina has the most full-bloods compared to the Western Band of Cherokee in Oklahoma. The Florida Seminoles have a very high percentage of full-bloods compared to the Oklahoma Seminoles.
ThatFlightAttendantChick I never said y'all didn't exist. I simply said I don't know why Black Americans think they have all this Native American blood vs Caucasian blood.
Lizzie Beth I think its a psychological thing. Many blacks are hurt by our history and don't want to face the fact that our ancestors were raped. Self hate also plays a part in blacks not wanting huge African percentages. We like to dilute the blackness and cling to ideas of being mixed. My father and I are currently not speaking because I said our DNA would most likely be 75-85% black and the rest white. With no evidence of a Native American great grandfather, he believes we are at leats 16% NA and a good portion of white and are only half black.
I love that you did order 23andMe because I have been debating about getting it and now that you reviewed it I am definitely going to buy it so thank you twins
Boy I just love those hairs (smile) My goodness (smile)! I have never seen hais that looks so healthy and so beautiful. And both you are absolutely beautiful. Have mercy (smile)! A beautiful set of twins!
You two look soooo fraternal to me or like sisters with two different birthdays. You look related but definitely not like twins, let alone identical twins. Each of you looks so distinct and different from the other. There is NEVER any hint of confusion as to who is who. I'm surprised you thought you were identical all this time because I was completely shocked.
Amber Wright I think you are looking at their makeup which is always done differently. They definitely look identical without makeup. I've been following them since the beginning and I never thought otherwise.
Being brown skin with curly hair, I got the exact same question my entire life. “I know you black but What are you mixed with?”. I too Took the test. 66% African , 32.5% Europe. 1.5% Asian. 🤷🏾♂️ I knew I was multi-racial’ish based on my parents racial makeup, but I expected my African percentage to be at least 75-85%. I found my results to be shocking.
Oml Kendra you look so different. I have to turn up my volume just see if that was you. I love you ladies. Like I told Kelsey on IG it’s because of you ladies I went natural. I been following you guys for years now and I’m just so proud of you ladies. Xoxox much love keep doing what you’re doing. 👊🏽❤️💕💜🧡💛💚💙
Hey, the twin on the left is lighter and her European was slightly higher so I got one right. I thought you were fraternal because of the lighter hue and the thicker hair on the right one. It's cool you guys shared your results and ty.
I tested with them over 10 years ago and I've looked at many dna results. A few things stand out on your reports. For African Americans, your Southern European ancestry is relatively high. Many AA's get Oceanian because of the slave trade that ran to Madagascar. It's not unusual to see AA;s with Asian haplogroups. But the South Asian is above 2 percent, which is definitely significant. That's roughly a 3rd great grandparent. I'm curious to here about the people you're matching. What are their backgrounds? Mind you every AA and white American gets matches in the Caribbean because colonizers flowed from the same countries, but your read out suggest your family is either from an area that had Asian immigrants after reconstruction or perhaps you have recent ancestry from a place outside the U.S. that received a lot of South Asian migrants, like the Caribbean or Central America. That could also explain the high amount of Spanish ancestry.
TheAmstudent their results are almost spot on with my mother's. Thanks four dropping that knowledge about Oceanian/Pacific Islander ancestry, I was wondering about that for ages bc that showed up too! We also had central Asian come up, which is the "-stans", and they almost all border China. The African diaspora is deep! As for the South Asian, they were conned into coming here during the Trans- Atlantic slave trade by the British, made to believe that they were going somewhere to have better life opportunities, but were cited to have been forced to assimilate into the black slave communities
I can tell Kendra and Kelsey apart easily but I can't tell Tia and Tamara apart as easily. So happy they are identical twins but I am no sure why that made me happy though. I guess because they were happy about it.
Qua'-Mika B. The 50% is not actually 100% correct. Each parent can give you dna from one side of them so if two siblings didnt recieve the same part they woud share pratically nothing. Dad AB mom DC. One kid AD and one kid BC. Like half of boy girl twins. Just google my explaination sucks.
I guessed right!!! Identical!!! So glad y'all explained the true definition of what identical means when it pertains to, multiples. I have set of identical 12 year old triplets (girls). Your channel has helped me tremendously when it comes to hair care. I pray for your continued success. Be blessed.
I did the AncestryDNA, which I think gets a bit more specific about like what countries you are from, but I want to do the 23andme Health + Ancestry to see if it difference and find out health results.
You can get health reports right now with promethease.com You can use your raw DNA data from AncestryDNA and upload it there to get your health reports. They have better health reports than 23andMe and it's only for $5 dollars. 23andMe will charge you $100 dollars extra for theirs and they don't even go into as much detail as Promethease does. Don't buy health reports from 23andMe. Save yourself the money. The ancestry report is great (theirs is the most accurate), but don't get the ancestry+health kit, just get the ancestry kit with them.
It’s sad that some people can’t just accept the fact that black women can have healthy long hair.😞 Also even worse when these same people are black themselves and saying this crap. #Pray
MELMATT365 ikr 🙄
Sad
MELMATT365 so sad
Preach!
Girl... you took the words right out of my mouth! They just won't let us be great! SMH...
OMG somebody else agree with me that you can easily tell Tia and Tamera apart.
shay3030 Yes it’s so easy to tell them apart 🤗
shay3030 yes and I can also tell Mary-Kate and Ashley apart
100 % one has a mole.. there is a slight difference in their faces. It might be the eyes?? Idk but it's not hard
Kristina Marie I CANNOT tell the Olsen twins apart to save my life 😩😩😩 And they're fraternal!
Tia a has always had the slimmer face, tamera has a mole and something about her nose and mouth is different.
Why do people assume you all are mixed? You literally look like Black women. Beautiful, BLACK women.
Isa IsaLee Yep. I black with African features all day but because im natural and have "high yellow" skin, people think my sisters and I are mixed. I've even heard of black girls with a skin tone as dark as Lupita getting asked that simply because they had long hair. These stereotypes.
Ebony Lashawn i agree with texture as well. People dont know the diversity within the black race.
But ladies let’s be real, aren’t we all (black Americans) technically mixed?? 70% African and 30% something else, Im sorry, but that sounds mixed to me Lol. You may not have a parent of a different race, but technically and DNA wise, you are MIXED. Why do black people hate to accept this?
silkiilocks Or why is it so many Black people are quick to declare “being mixed” as if it some prestigious, elitist group? I’m sure every person in this world can declare being “mixed”, but is it really necessary to pinpoint that 13% of this, or 3.2% of that? I’m more interested in why many Black people feel as though being “mixed” garners some sort of importance as if being Black isn’t enough. 🤷🏽♀️
Marchers Clark the issue for me is not whether people feel being just black isn’t enough, that’s something people have to work out within themselves. I’m just talking simple facts and the fact is that most of are not 100% African so why get upset when someone asks if you’re mixed when technically and factually you are. That is the point I’m trying to make.
Lets be honest. The reasons they get the "Are you mixed?" question is because they are PRETTY and have all that hair. People don't believe black women can be beautiful being MOSTLY black. They also fit into a trend today of men liking "exotic" or "foreign" women. Im not trying to be offensive by saying they look exotic. Im just explaining why they get that question. They don't fit the racist stereotypical look of black women. They are not overweight, they have real long hair, and they aren't ugly by a long shot. Its sad that people cant believe black girls, especially African descendants of West Africa can be beautiful.
They prove those notions wrong though.
Amelia Watkins Hmmm? 🤔 So racists usually see us as overweight and unattractive? I don't believe that for a second! They might be ignorant, but they ain't blind! And sadly, the MAJORITY of the people who assume the twins are mixed are BLACK people, not racist white people.
Miriam Hobbs Sadly I've spoken to racist and they do believe much of that. So many believe we all wear fake hair because we cant grow our own. So yes its ignorance as well. However, many still see us as the least attractive women. It is not as prominent today as it once was though. Black women's beauty is not being recognized but our womanhood and beauty has been attacked for centuries. In this way we kind of have it worse then black men.
Amelia Watkins theyre uneducated.... And they probably have never been anywhere
Amelia Watkins i think because %100 west africans have a naturally kinky hair type. The looser texture doesn’t come in until you mix the genes with something from elsewhere. The kinky hair texture is so unique and beautiful and should be praised not shamed
So wrong my hair is lose and my mother is light skin black with curly hair and my father is deep chocolate with wavey hair their parent are black and I can get going stop putting black people in a having only certain features. If you go to Africa you see different parts or regions where these girls hair is normal to see.
Kelsey hair is the reason why I can't slack off on deep conditioning😩🙌🏾😍
Love Sierra Denae hello!
WTF are some of you on?? ROFL! This hair sits like your typical good quality WEAVE. Look at around 2.24 when the one on the right moves her hair aside...lol. The delusions out there...SMH.
Beej J you sound dumb. If you watch their VIDEOS it’s definitely their NATURAL SCALP GROWN HAIR
And you're probably just ANOTHER her wig -wearing self hating b...h that can't fess up to the bullshit, lol. No one is saying they don't have a certain type of hair - or even long. It's just not what you can see here (if you haven't got fk'd up eyesight).
p.s. Dyamn (fool) Ilol lol lol - thanks for directing me to the others videos. *100 %, 24 carat WEAVES* being worn while naive muppets like you praise their 'natural' hair ...PMSL!
Haters will still say “I knew they were mixed”😩😂❤️❤️❤️❤️
💀💀💀😂
Love Yourself Always lol!!!
Lol everyone is mixed with a little something nowadays !
Love Yourself Always 😂😂😂
Heart of Africa so true lmaoo
Kelsey’s hair is soooo freaking big and beautiful!!!! #kelsey’shairisgoals
west African gals 🔥🔥
Micheal Johnson 70% of their DNA is west African
Layla Johnson exactly
79.3% thats basically 80% how you gonna round down lol
Right!!! Team Nigeria Mali Senegal Ghana Guinea! We litty!
I think Micheal Johnson meant their nationality. Anyone can be American and be of African, Asian, and European descent
You’re both way more black than I am genetically and I have 4c hair. People having been debating cause your hair is of a looser texture. News flash your hair being loose doesn’t = mixed‼️
But they are mixed. They just read their results. Are you deliberatly being stupid? They are not 100 percent sub Saharan African, which means they are mixed, period.
it does 100% black people don’t come out with 3c or 3A hair bye.
with your logic every black person in America is mixed because they all have on average abut 20% European descent
Most black Americans aren't 20% European. That's an exaggeration. The correct number is 12%. You don't have to be 50/50 in order to be mixed. 20 percent non-African DNA is significant. And it can make a difference in your phenotype, as is evident in the glamtwinz. West Africans typically have type 4 hair. Type 3 hair is extremely rare. You mostly see it in East Africans, specifically the Ethiopians and Somalians.
@@Ashleyimanee that's not really true. I met an African who it's 100% and have 3 type hair
This is so exciting!!! Im not surprised about the second highest percentage being European that is common in African Americans. I did this test too and my results were 56% East African, 28% North African, 3% South Asian, 3% European !!! I love watching genetics results videos 💕
Heart of Africa you think 15% European is high?
OOOusopretty 15% is high when you’re talking about DNA. But actually most AA have about 30% European
Trisha Green where are you getting this from? The average AA has only about 16% European in our bloodline
@Javoszia Sterling: No, it is about 25% European, so IF you do an average between both our estimates, you get about 23%.
3% European Wow u rarely see continental Africans with any European DNA with East Africans u do see Middle eastern admixture tho what company did u test with?
Y'all should do ancestry.com I think they're more accurate with the African percentages because they have the actual countries and not just the region.
HairByPierre also the National Geographic Test has more data and gives you specific countries. It place 92% of me right in modern day Nigeria.
TrueOrigins wow that's really cool I'll check that out
23andMe is the most accurate, the use the most samples for their reference populations, especially when it comes to Native American and Jewish DNA.
LoliceMe I disagree
How? If you look it up, you will see, 23andMe has a bigger reference population for Native Americans. It has a bigger reference population for everyone. And you know what? AncestryDNA doesn't even have Southeast Asians in their database. None. They also don't use samples from East Africa either. So, you see these videos with all these Somali and Ethiopians using AncestryDNA? Yeah, they're getting proxies. AncestryDNA can't process their DNA because they don't have samples for the African DNA of Horn of African people and Nilo-Saharans. They are getting proxies- the next best thing, the closest things they can find. And it's misleading. 23andMe actually uses samples from Horn of Africans and Nilo-Saharan people. Same with Southeast Asians. Southeast Asians show up as Southeast Asian on 23andMe because they use Southeast Asian samples as apart of their reference population. AncestryDNA doesn't, so on AncestryDNA, Southeast Asian shows up as East Asian, South Asian, and Polynesian. People take these tests, but don't do any research on them and how they work. That's how they stay confused.
I’m here for the simple makeup looks and Kelsey’s big hair 😍
Kinky Koily Kayla yesss it's so pretty!
Makeup is artificial though. Do you want to be artificial beauty rather than natural beauty?
*Whenever I watch these DNA videos it makes me want to get a test* ❤️🙌🏽
I wish they were able to tell you *EXACTLY* what countries you're from though 🙌🏽
Right! I would be more willing to do the DNA tests if they were able to tell you specifically which countries you're from. I wonder if there's an accessible way to find out
Dont do it its a scam they dont know squat didly its for money and there selling ppls dna look it up
Ancestry.com told me what countries. It was accurate, based on my family history. I would also like to do 23 & me.
Tasheanna Marie I don't remember what company but I think it was called AfricanAncestry that was able to narrow down what African tribe/country you have roots in I wish I remembered because it'd be perfect🙌🏽
cellflove111 I read something about that before and if it's true it sucksss because people for people who don't know their history it seems like the only way but if they're doing that it's a rip off smh
A lot of Black people think they are more native then they actually are. We are most likely to have more European descent than anything else. Spanish people mainly mexican's are more likely to have native dna
ItspronouncedJulia You are absolutely correct. Due to slavery most African-American people have European blood. It's a bit unusual to find an African-American person who doesn't have white in them.
Most Latin Americans have Native American admixture. Dominicans average around 5% Native American, Puerto Ricans around 10-20% Native American, Mexicans around 40-50% Native American, Guatemalans around 90% Native American. There are also people who are 100% Native American as well like Mayans in Guatemala, etc.
African Americans are around 0-3% Native American; but if they're from Oklahoma, they are likely to have more because they are more likely to descend from the African American people that were held as slaves by the Native American tribes and taken to Oklahoma with them during the Trail of Tears in the 1830s. One African American woman whose ancestors were owned by a Choctaw man who took them to Oklahoma with him from Alabama, was 9% Native American.
Right the slave masters had their way with those female slaves and had all kinds of mixed slave babies running around, that’s who most AA come from. Idk when that Native American trope crept in
Yes! I feel like we have the same DNA just different percentages
ItspronouncedJulia I had a big argument with my father who calms that he is about 16% Native American and that my sisters and I may be about 10%. I said dad we are more than likely black and white period. The only one in our home that may be truly mixed is our mother. My mother is a biracial woman from Canada with white grandparents. My father loves being light skinned with "East African" features. He thinks because we are all high yellow we are mixed. No. He even had the nerve to tell me his family weren't slaves. I said dad you are an American black man born from black parents who come from America. You have an european last name. You are a descendant of west Africa and your ancestors were slaves. My father cussed me out because I said all of this. He insist that we are Native American and white and only half black. Sigh.
both are sooooo stunning hair, make-up and ur eyebrows...slay,slay slay!!!
luv it when you two heart back- it makes my day! My fave, fave YT channel!
Finally a comment for both of the beautiful ladies.
My name is spelled just like this. Nykia...
you guys look identical without makeup and fraternal with makeup
Yassssz!
Agree 100%
Yes. Without makeup I have to wait until they speak to know who is who. With makeup it’s usually easy especially if they are side by side. Some of those single photos do through me though.
Yep
S White Yep. It just means two separate eggs were fertilized as opposed to identical which is one egg fertilized then cleaved into two eggs.thats all.
Ancestry DNA breaks down the African countries in your bloodline whereas 23andme doesn’t do that
Headchampion Yeah that’s true! And I like that breakdown, i learned a lot when i got my red but I am so interested in taking this test for the health report 😃
Kristina Marie yea. I just got my fathers ancestry DNA results and I got a kit for my mom yesterday.
Ohhh well than I’m glad i went with ancestry
23 and me is about health I could have sworn
That's probably the ONE thing that I appreciate the most about Ancestry. I still want to take 23andMe to get other information not provided by Ancestry.
You ladies are still 100% correct to say that you are black. Being American Black is a mixed race and those are the normal percentages. Beautiful period.
Kelsey what are you doing to your hair?! BEAUTIFUL
kyesha walker probably nothing... her hair is just a lot thicker
RebornMommy0 actually Kendra's hair is thicker. Depending on how curly hair is styled it can be super full or more flat. Kelsey has mentioned her hair being thinner or less dense than her twin's several times.
kyesha walker I think she's still doing the Denman brush method she has videos on it
It looks like she did her Denman brush method to get the fullness and curls
@geekbella no Kelsey just got it going on that's all. Hair bomb make up bomb everything bomb
I did the Ancestry DNA test. According to it, I’m 81% Sub-Saharan African, 17% European and 2% South Asian. Pretty much....I’m black and I’m black and I’m black. Lol PS: I still get you two mixed up, and I’ve been watching you for 4 years.
Dominique With A QUE haha haha. Amen
Dominique With A QUE
Weird because south Asians don’t get any African in them. We get more Melanesian in us ..not African.
I thought you got south Asian because of a DNA similarity.
Y’all and y’all’s hair looks BOMB 😍😍😍 gorgeous ladies and thanks for sharing ❤️❤️
Takira Thompson is that their real hair cause it’s GORGEOUSSSSS
Central Elegance yes ma’am!
I took the ancestry.com test and i got 72% African mostly being Nigerian. 23% European mostly being Spaniard and Portuguese (my grandmother is from Portugal) 4% Native American and 2% South Asian too! I think i will take the 23andme test to compare results and get the other aspects of the test that they offer
HairByPierre the 23 and me is more accurate, so I think u really would enjoy your results 😊
i got 72% African too and the rest was a mixture of European and Asian. now i want to try 23 and me now lol
`liaa biaa ayeee DNA twins lol
HairByPierre lol right !
Ya'll are just not getting what's going on with 23andMe, are you?
Finally you guys can prove your mostly black. I will never understand why people think black girls can't have long curly hair without being mixed with something ( smdh )
they are mixed....show me a black woman with no admixture with long hair
Richard Myles well at the end of the day everyone is mixed with something
Richard Myles theres a girl who got 98% East African, and she had long curly hair. Hair texture varies across Africa. Think about it, East Africans who are mostly African have curly-wavy hair on average. Yet biracial Americans may have kinkier hair on average compared to them. It's really about what part of Africa youre from and talking about. African people have great genetic diversity
LOL...are you serious? There is no way you can say the average...unless you assessed ever single biracial person on the planet. You can say some...but not "mostly, average" etc...because you have no data to support that. One thing I do know, East Africans are not the same as black subsaharan for the most part due to the long history of mixing in those regions of africa. Geography does not always define DNA compositions and haplagroups. East Africans have a LONG history of being mixed with Arabs. So, then you have mixed east africans marrying and procreating with others who have a similar mixed background creating multigenerational mixed offspring(which genes do not expire).They are not the same as Lapita, Akon, Alec Weck which are black subsahran. North Africans are closer to souther europeans in physical features and haplagroups. South Africans are white, black, and "coloreds" which are usually multigenerational mixed race people(meaning mixed people procreating with other mixed people), indians(from india) etc. Example:SHOW ME DNA PROOF that a light skinned person can be black with soft curly hair and aquiline features(DO NOT INCLUDE BLEACHERS, WAAREDENBURGE SYNDROME and ALBINISM). No...it is called EDUCATION...black people DO NOT look like mixed people....
I rely on empirical research...not some ramblings on social media. Black Subsaharan blacks with no admixture are NOT light skinned people NOR do they have our features. EAST Africans are a completely different situation....they are closer to the middle east countries...and guess what? They have a LONG history of being mixed with Arabians which explains their mixed race features....and guess what? It also shows up in their DNA. Examples...
Watch these DNA results.......

I had a DNA test as well Nigerian, Kenyan, Sierra Leone, Welsh, Irish and Scottish, I find it fascinating, Thanks for sharing
You guys actually look identical without makeup 😍 but that’s also the beauty behind makeup itself. It’s art.
I feel like ppl think y’all are mixed because most ppl have a hard time believing black ppl can have your type of hair without being mixed. Great video I want to do something like this buttt can’t justify spending the money right now
Starr Vance actually they are mixed , just not biraciao . Most people are mixed
What type of hair are you talking about, they clearly have 4A-B? It just grows long cause they've been natural & moisturizing their hair for along time.
Sabrina Smith More like 3b 4a
Starr Vance Amelia Watkins i think because %100 native west africans have a naturally kinky hair type. The looser texture doesn’t come in until you mix the genes with something from elsewhere. The kinky hair texture is so unique and beautiful and should be praised not shamed
How are you going to say people "think" they're mixed when their DNA test clearly proves that they ARE mixed. Theyidentify as black but they, like most AA are MIXED RACE. If you put 3/4 coffee and 1/4 milk in a cup it's STILL black coffee or is it MIXED with milk? Now in Africa, most populations are PURE black coffee, no milk or cream added.
All I see is two beautiful girl! I've never once thought that they were mixed! Love you both, and love your channel!
Ladies I am so excited! I am East African from Kenya. I am so excited you are 79 percent subsaharan African. You are Bantu like me, but your roots are West and Central African. Did it tell you your country of origins? I guess Nigerian and Congolese. Hahaha! Thanks for sharing. I love watching you guys. We love you in Africa! 😄😍👏👏❤❤❤
Kadzowe you are a South Eastern Bantu...the DNA is different
I just wanted to say that thanks to your video my twin sister and I found out that we were IDENTICAL TWINS! When I got my results back from 23andMe I could only see DNA segments that were "completely identical," but I couldn't see the "predicted relationship" with my sister. After a couple months, I came across your video and realized I didn't see the same things as you guys could see. I found out there were both some things we had to mutually accept to see this relationship. She wasn't home that day so I broke into her computer and account and mutually accepted things so we could both see the predicted relationship 😂 Our entire lives we had been told that we were FRATERNAL and NOT IDENTICAL Thanks a bunch, this changed my life!
People thought you were biracial because you're very beautiful and have thick long healthy natural hair. They're ignorant.
It's so weird! Last night I was literally like "Kelsey and Kendra should really try this 23 & Me thing"! Then they upload this video
Dayana Briceus youre in tuned with greatness!
Everyone is mixed with something
not true...
Ashley Johnson like 200 years back, stop acknowledging that
Ashley Johnson no everyone isn't mixed
Kimberly Ify yes they are lol east african & west african is still a mixture
Kimberly Ify no one has %100 of one regions dna
I have been watching you guys for years!! I'm so glad you guys did this! The results were shocking!! Would have never guessed identical. Awesome!!
omg the curls are so popping in this vid. keep up the great work . love u guys
I KNEW YA'LL HAD AFRICAN IN YOU! That's why ya'll got that good hair!
I think this just speak to how society looks at black women. It’s unfortunate that people see beautiful women wearing their hair in its natural state so that equates to they can’t be black or African American. They have to be mixed with another ethnic group. #blackwomenarebeautiful
Tamiko Wiley Yes! It's sad. And what's most embarrassing is that these assumptions usually come from other black people! SMH
Miriam Hobbs exactly!!
Miriam Hobbs Yep.
I get what your saying Tamiko but your argument is weak on this point these young women are mixed at the end of the day. They're hair could easily be a mix of Native and white since that is a part of their bloodline.
nativenchristian what are you talking about? I’m not making an argument for or against anything. I’m simply saying it’s AMAZING and beautiful being a black women. I’m not mixed with anything and my hair is curly and down my back when it’s straight. I’m offended that people think I’m mixed with anything.
Y'all just proved the beauty in black ❤ black people can have beautiful hair and beautiful traits and features
The Native American and Asian Indian is very different lol it’s Asian because India is in Asia
Dominique Monet I was waiting for someone to say this
Thank youuuu.
people should stop saying Indians as a term for native Americans or something.
Because I get confused if they are talking about Indians from India or NATIVE American ‘Indians’.
you can say red dot indian or arrow and bow indian
Agreed! when she said that I cringed because Native American Indians are completely different than Asian Indians.
Andrea David Farnocchia I don’t like that, Its offensive, I just say I’m Asian Indian.
Kelsey’s hair looks like it’s grown a lot!
One thing is certain, no mater what ethnicity you are, you are gorgeous young ladies and judging from the way you express yourselves, you're also intelligent and well mannered. I salute you!
Omg I cannot believe that it's almost the end of November & you guys are still rocking your curly hair! This is the longest I've ever seen you guys go without straightening it during the fall and winter! 😘😘😘😘😘😘
Kelsey and Kendra you all make my days when I watch your videos! ♡
A lot of black ppl cling on to some type of Indian. Example: Cherokee
It just 1%
Precious Cargo A lot of pale whites in Seattle are doing the same shit.
Precious Cargo Indian is less painful to process on a subconscious level than European (white) which is why so many of our grandparents put that in our heads.
Lexis La' Where did you get your info from? I'm curious, I would like to read more about it.
Commit2B Healthy I think you would be intrigued by Jordan Ramirez IKYG videos. The girl above, her info was a little scrambled but alot of it was spot on- I get what she was trying to say
My family did our genealogy, it’s sooo interesting. I don’t have the break down of like ethnicities because I’d like to believe I’m 99.9% African ! 😂😉 #DontAtMe #iDC I want what I want.
South Asia = India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal
naxvh
Yeah not the same as Native American. They confused me with that.
Exacatly. They should have done some geography before making this video.
naxvh It's linked to Native American because that's where a lot of Native American ancestors migrated from thousands of years before they settled on the barren lands that are now North, central, and South America. In fact, there's tons of debate and conversion on whether or not Native Americans are distantly related to South Asians.
@@JasmineRenyse you must be uneducated and dilusional to say that, you really need to learn some history and geography before saying utter nonsense about other races... 🙄
@@adlinkujur2382 stay blessed
I think it is easy to tell you two apart, but sometimes, depending on the angle, Kendra can look EXACTLY like Kelsey, or vice versa. I love that you guys did this. Have you ever thought about having your mom do it? Just to see where some of your genes stemmed from. I think I want to get one for my grandmother, myself, and my mom to compare. That would be interesting.
I am really not surprised that you two are approximately 75% West African. When I first subscribed to your channel, I used to say that you two look like the 'tokulore' tribe in The Gambia, West Africa (it's where am from too). Their ladies are dark, tall , and have beautiful long hair ranging from 3b to 4b hair type. They are very beautiful. They are similar to the fulani but are darker. Yaye to West African gals
Kelsey’s hair is giving me all kinds of life right now. & Kendra’s lippie is always poppin🤗
23andme is ok, but i wish they did "ancestry.com" that one is better they let you know which country in africa, europe or asia you come from? that one is way more detailed
Abby94 ancestry.com didn’t sponsor this so Issa no 👀
this sounds interesting, I am African but I now Zulu people aren't originally from South Africa and we are a combination of different tribes. It would be nice to know where my ancestors are from in Africa
Matsi Mdakane
Interesting you said this. I'm African American or Black American and I took a DNA that showed most of my genetic cousins or ancestry came from the Tswana peoples. I was shocked because the slave trade was primarily in West Africa. Funny thing is, I've had South Africans tell me even before the DNA test that I looked like Tswana peoples. I was very delighted. It seemed to all make sense, I've always had a natural pull and interest in Southern Africa but could never explain it. This may be superstitious but once I had a dream when I was a teenager that I was with my people back in the day. I'm talking long before the Europeans came to Southern Africa. I could tell in the dream I was with Southern Africans and I was home. There was a ceremony going on and I was dancing and clapping. It was the weirdest dream I've ever had and never forgot it.
that is what I use Ancestery. com
Omg Kelsey !!!!! Your hair 😍
Kadreanna Shakay OMG YOUR Hair!
Amelia Watkins my hair? 😊 thank you boo! I have a video on my channel, it’s crochet !
Kelsey's big hair and Kendra's definition
I was 92% West African! With a little Native American and European. It was so interesting to find out!
Black and Beautiful. It don't get no better than that ❤
Beautiful African women and i love how y’all embrace it.
West Africa stand upppp 💕
I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been watching y’all from the beginning but I can definitely tell y’all apart. Even during the vlogs when y’all talking but not showing y’alls face I can tell by your voice who’s who lol. #LoyalSubbie lol
Janayexoxo yes. I think people say they can’t tell them apart because they think it’s a compliment.
Y’all only look alike to me when yall aren’t wearing makeup. With makeup it’s clear as day who’s who because of the way you each do your makeup and style your hair. But without makeup, y’all look just alike. I can still tell y’all apart either way though. This was a cool vid.
Shout out to y’all for helping me reach waist length :)
I’m glad you all did this video, so sick of people attributing your beauty and hair length to some ethnicity they want you to be.
Kelsey's hair is amazing!!!!! She needs to do an updated hair routine!!!!!!
maureen gomez is it because it less thick?
am I dreaming another glamtwinz video...don't wake me up I'm loving this- Aye!!!!!!!!
Loved the video ladies!!! I took the Ancestry DNA test and was very satisfied at how detailed it was. I still would like to try 23 and Me as well just to see if there's a difference between the two.
CurlyCreole337 Just remember that these are estimations...testing for ancestry DNA is not an exact science but I believe the tests come close. I have taken 3 tests with 3 different companies (including 23andme) and all results are similar. They will not be exact but they should be close.
Liked 👍🏾 before the video even started, thanks for the back to back videos Kelsey && Kendra you look amazing 💕
I watched this video and immediately went and bought three for my family 😂😂😂 so excited to find out!
Wow the volume on kelsey's hair😍😍
I watch too many conspiracy theory videos to do this but this was super interesting
,You young ladies are smart, very intelligent and have an inviting vibe. You are also both very beautiful, but the hair! Uhh!! Makes me just so damn sick!! With ENVY!! 😊 I am sick with envy! I'm absolutely envious and jealous of your hair!! 😝 I wish I were as lucky with the curls, but I wont hate on you for yours. You are both very blessed to have all the wonderful attributes that you do, including your hair ! I love that you are neither wasting these gifts and are actively contributing to the world. Many blessings to you both!! 😄
I've been watching them since i was in middle school. Cant believe im about to graduate 😭🎓 Great Video
Two super fine sistas!! Love the hair, features, complexion and tone...
Kelsey girlllll that hair is living😍❤️
You ladies are 100% GORGEOUS!!! And very Intelligent also!!! Thanks for sharing!! After seeing your video I'm going to get my identical twin brother to take this test with me very interesting!
I love watching these kinds of videos so I was excited to see that yall did it. I just received my results back from Ancestry DNA two weeks ago and found out that I am literally everything. People have been asking since birth what am I and when I'd say black, they tried to argue like yeah but what else because you can't be all black. An Asian guy in the nail salon asked if I was part Asian, Hispanics see me and speak Spanish to me, a Middle Eastern guy asked if I was Native American. The joke of my family is I had to be Asian somewhere and I ended up being 2% lol. It was really cool to find out everything I am though, but I wish it could tell me what comes from which parent. It sounds like 23 & Me gives a lot more information beyond ethnicity so I'd love to take that test too.
FYI, when you submit your DNA to this company, it becomes theirs to KEEP and use for experimentation as they see fit.
Shortcake39553 Exactly!!
You have to give them permission first. They don't own your DNA, and you actually have to sign something to allow them to use if for medical research. Most people don't have a problem for that. 23andMe especially likes research in regards to Parkinson's disease, because the owner's husband or whatever had the condition.
LoliceMe There is nothing on the form that asks you to give them permission which means they don't need your permission. The studies they perform aren't meant to treat the customers, they're to treat the public once they learn how to single out which genes cause which outcomes.
Shortcake39553 I do not trust those test jmo
Keona jacobs yeah, it didn't make since for two people who they told have the exact same DNA can have differences in geneology/regions of the world origins. It's a total and complete contraindication. It's sad that they would dupe people that way.
Not sure why so many people think they have all this Native American ancestry. I can look at the vast majority of Black Americans and see their European features, even in my family. Most Black Americans are Sub Saharan African and Caucasian.
Part of the reason is that so many Native American women were rapped by European invaders and as a result most native Americans have a lot of European dna...especially the Cherokee tribe.
Teri Powell You should go out West, go to Canada and South America, nothing but 100% full-blooded Native Americans. I got plenty of Native American friends that don't have an ounce of white blood. Regarding the Cherokee.....The Eastern Band of Cherokee in North Carolina has the most full-bloods compared to the Western Band of Cherokee in Oklahoma. The Florida Seminoles have a very high percentage of full-bloods compared to the Oklahoma Seminoles.
For me, my grandmother’s (my dads mom) family were owned by Cherokee, not whites.
ThatFlightAttendantChick I never said y'all didn't exist. I simply said I don't know why Black Americans think they have all this Native American blood vs Caucasian blood.
Lizzie Beth I think its a psychological thing. Many blacks are hurt by our history and don't want to face the fact that our ancestors were raped. Self hate also plays a part in blacks not wanting huge African percentages. We like to dilute the blackness and cling to ideas of being mixed. My father and I are currently not speaking because I said our DNA would most likely be 75-85% black and the rest white. With no evidence of a Native American great grandfather, he believes we are at leats 16% NA and a good portion of white and are only half black.
I love that you did order 23andMe because I have been debating about getting it and now that you reviewed it I am definitely going to buy it so thank you twins
Identical twins = a woman's single egg is split in half, but fraternal = when the woman drops two eggs and both are fertilized @ same time.
Y’all voice is different that’s how I tell you guys apart
Hey Kelsey and Kendra😍❤️ Hair is so bomb🔥
I did 23 and Me back in July. It was shocking! I thought Native American would been higher too. I had Eastern Asian as well. I'm glad I did it.
Kendra’s curls are poppin, and Kelsey’s hair is soo big. Goals😍😍😍
Y'alls hair lookin' poppin' 😍
After watching certain twins for awhile, you can start to tell them apart.
Boy I just love those hairs (smile) My goodness (smile)! I have never seen hais that looks so healthy and so beautiful. And both you are absolutely beautiful. Have mercy (smile)! A beautiful set of twins!
I'm so happy you guys are identical!!!! Kelsey's face when Kendra said that just made my world light up lol
You two look soooo fraternal to me or like sisters with two different birthdays. You look related but definitely not like twins, let alone identical twins. Each of you looks so distinct and different from the other. There is NEVER any hint of confusion as to who is who. I'm surprised you thought you were identical all this time because I was completely shocked.
Amber Wright I think you are looking at their makeup which is always done differently. They definitely look identical without makeup. I've been following them since the beginning and I never thought otherwise.
TC G agreed
Amber Wright but you don't have to look identical to be identical it just mean you share 100% the same dna
Agreed. one has a fuller face while the other has a more narrow shape. Also their eye shapes are different.
Being brown skin with curly hair, I got the exact same question my entire life. “I know you black but What are you mixed with?”. I too Took the test. 66% African , 32.5% Europe. 1.5% Asian. 🤷🏾♂️ I knew I was multi-racial’ish based on my parents racial makeup, but I expected my African percentage to be at least 75-85%. I found my results to be shocking.
66% is high though
@@daj2699 never said it wasn’t “high”. I said expected it to be higher.
Oml Kendra you look so different. I have to turn up my volume just see if that was you. I love you ladies. Like I told Kelsey on IG it’s because of you ladies I went natural. I been following you guys for years now and I’m just so proud of you ladies. Xoxox much love keep doing what you’re doing. 👊🏽❤️💕💜🧡💛💚💙
Kelsey’s hair looked so good that I thought it was a wig for a second. Wow. Just wow 😮
Kendra your hair is snatched beautifull💕
You guys should do the ancestry.com to see it the results are the same
Designs By Steffanie that's a great idea
Kelsey! Your hair looks so bomb like lots of volume and of course both of you look gorgeous!
Hey, the twin on the left is lighter and her European was slightly higher so I got one right. I thought you were fraternal because of the lighter hue and the thicker hair on the right one. It's cool you guys shared your results and ty.
I tested with them over 10 years ago and I've looked at many dna results. A few things stand out on your reports. For African Americans, your Southern European ancestry is relatively high. Many AA's get Oceanian because of the slave trade that ran to Madagascar. It's not unusual to see AA;s with Asian haplogroups. But the South Asian is above 2 percent, which is definitely significant. That's roughly a 3rd great grandparent. I'm curious to here about the people you're matching. What are their backgrounds? Mind you every AA and white American gets matches in the Caribbean because colonizers flowed from the same countries, but your read out suggest your family is either from an area that had Asian immigrants after reconstruction or perhaps you have recent ancestry from a place outside the U.S. that received a lot of South Asian migrants, like the Caribbean or Central America. That could also explain the high amount of Spanish ancestry.
TheAmstudent their results are almost spot on with my mother's. Thanks four dropping that knowledge about Oceanian/Pacific Islander ancestry, I was wondering about that for ages bc that showed up too! We also had central Asian come up, which is the "-stans", and they almost all border China. The African diaspora is deep! As for the South Asian, they were conned into coming here during the Trans- Atlantic slave trade by the British, made to believe that they were going somewhere to have better life opportunities, but were cited to have been forced to assimilate into the black slave communities
I can tell Kendra and Kelsey apart easily but I can't tell Tia and Tamara apart as easily. So happy they are identical twins but I am no sure why that made me happy though. I guess because they were happy about it.
I’m 45% Cameroon, Congo, & Southern Bantu, 33% Benin/Togo, 9% Ivory Coast/ Ghana , 8% England, 3% Mali, 1% Senegal and Nigeria ❤️I used AncestryDNA 👸🏽 So I’m 92% African and 8% European 🤗
Lol I still get y'all confused 🤦🏼♀️
CrySTYLE Beauty me too
Kendra has a mole on her forehead. That’s how i had to tell them apart at first lol. But now i look at them so much i can just see who’s who.
CrySTYLE Beauty I can tell by their eyebrows
I have a twin sister and I didn’t know about the 50% & 100% dna I’m getting us one done
Qua'-Mika B. The 50% is not actually 100% correct. Each parent can give you dna from one side of them so if two siblings didnt recieve the same part they woud share pratically nothing. Dad AB mom DC. One kid AD and one kid BC. Like half of boy girl twins. Just google my explaination sucks.
I guessed right!!! Identical!!! So glad y'all explained the true definition of what identical means when it pertains to, multiples. I have set of identical 12 year old triplets (girls). Your channel has helped me tremendously when it comes to hair care. I pray for your continued success. Be blessed.
Y'ALL HAIR THOUGH🙌🏾😍 ABSOLUTE GOALS!
I did the AncestryDNA, which I think gets a bit more specific about like what countries you are from, but I want to do the 23andme Health + Ancestry to see if it difference and find out health results.
You can get health reports right now with promethease.com You can use your raw DNA data from AncestryDNA and upload it there to get your health reports. They have better health reports than 23andMe and it's only for $5 dollars. 23andMe will charge you $100 dollars extra for theirs and they don't even go into as much detail as Promethease does. Don't buy health reports from 23andMe. Save yourself the money. The ancestry report is great (theirs is the most accurate), but don't get the ancestry+health kit, just get the ancestry kit with them.
