A Cosmotolgy exchange of knowledge is a brilliant idea! This is why we need more African Americans engaging with the continent. It will be of inestimable mutual value for all of us!!
Yes please can we have hair stylists who specialize in styles for 4C hair . Especially for those who enjoy a non chemical silk press or blow wave every now and then but don't want to permanently destroy their natural curl pattern.
Most of us African ladies don’t have a healthy relationship with our hair. I’m struggling keeping my natural hair manageable, the struggle is real. I love this concept A LOT!
Well, to start with Dr Asad and Adrienne, it has been realised over recent years that us southern Africans do not have 4c hair. Our hair is much more Courser and brittle than that... henceforth, we have no actual mastery over hair care like African Americans & West Africans do
We as South Africa condemn the worsening political violence and undemocratic climate in the United States of America. We ask the UN to ensure sanctions against such barbaric and uncivilised attitudes 😂🫣🌚. Life comes at you quickly. One day you are high and mighty toppling leaders; condemning the world and before you know it, you are the one being condemned. Choose peace, bafethu 😂❤🇿🇦
I'm in the process of doing a hair course/study. I have twin daughters who will be turning 3 years old and believe in me having to take both to a salon, which will cost me a lot. I enjoy doing their hair. I believe I will be on the right track but need to learn more about which products work best for my 1 daughter with 4C hair and the other one's hair looks more like Aunt Adrian's hair.
No, in South Arrica we never say "Good hair" or nappy hair. Also, Black South Africans have little body hair and shorter hair compared to other African populations. This is because of the Bantu and KhoiSan admixture: see SA Human Genome Programme, 2021. Black South African are 50% East Africa Bantu, 50% southern Africa KhoiSan in autosomal genetic heritage. With Coloured people; they use terms like 'straight hair', 'curly hair' or "the cousins are showing" when their African hair is chemically straightened but is still kinky or curly.
Sometimes the length is compromised by bad technique and poor handling of hair during procedures. Salons also tend to want to retouch relaxed hair every 6 weeks and that's really bad. The best Soweto salons in the 80s used to send their best stylists to the US to learn from Black Americans . Sometimes bring 1 stylist to SA. Those stylists were all about the health of hair over anything else.
Our daughter's dream school is Howard University and I pray she gets a full ride or a bunch of scholarships that will be able to hold down the fees but she definitely has her mind made up she wants to go to an HBCU which is fine.
It wasn’t lard they were using way back then. It was the hot comb & that beeswax that was laying our hair out. Just don’t go dancing & sweat that stuff out…That’s when Lard came into play.
No, don’t say “Nappy”. I have 4C hair. We need to talk about hair & leaving that Chinese market alone & creating our own. I have some ideas. I definitely need to be a part of this Hair conversation. Because we should be creating our own hair & hairstyles. We are unique.
I think the hairdresser exchange would be great, because as far as I've seen in SA the braiding style are great, but when it comes to blowdrying and then using the flat iron to straighten natural hair, SA is just not hittin'. Also, an emphasis on keeping hair healthy at the salons would be great too.
I mean you have to know the circles. If you want to style natural hair then go to Coloured Community. I stay in a Coloured Community and everyone wears their natural hair and have long perfect the styling of natural hair and straightening it.
There are some good salons in Sandton but its too pricey for the average SAn. The hairline issue is quite sensitive with some salons and how they generally don't care to protect the hair in their procedures . Blow drying technique ...blow drying tangled wet hair with a fine tooth comb , super hot blow dryer and no heat protector ....
Dr. Asad, I believe it was the Algorithm that prevented your educational TH-cam video from populating to the forefront. I found it in your list & I will watch it.
Wow, I missed you guys!!! OMG, yes Adrienne!!!! I follow ya'lls hair competitions and conventions and South Africa IS NOT on that scale but we can be! We have so many talented hair artists. I remember the early 2000s a group of AA's came here to learn more hair techniques at the African Village at the V&A waterfront. I also remember the bitter taste it left in my mouth when I thought my colleagues deserved to be invited to the comp lol they just got paid lol I'll help you with the Cape Town Chapter 😂 Thanks for the awesome vlog, I missed the ugly laughs whaaaahahahaha❤❤❤
I carry lip balm and Vaseline wherever I go during winter. I don't mind borrowing you both for your lips and hands. Hahahahaha I know one, Warren Green who is still here, I think.
Is good Dr Asad to connect the university of America to Africa we will learn more from cultural and academic perspective and also the knowledge of one another
I feel like I’m living around people with memory loss. Do we not remember the trumps presidency? Covid and checks because of Covid? People leaving the administration, getting fired, a 4 star general coming in as Chief of staff to baby sit Trump ? 🤦🏾♂️ I feel like we don’t care as a people what’s going on as long as we’re entertained by the good and bad! Biden is boring, his work is boring, politics is boring! When a buffoon is in office , we’re entertained by his pettiness, his frat boy antics! This crap is weird! Am I living in the twilight zone?
Them little swoops are now bangs NOT baby hair. It is ridiculous. And as far as colorism unfortunately everywhere colonization was colorism now is, that goes for India, well all of Asia China Korea ECT. Africa and America. And I also read about the New Orleans laws about the hair being too exotic so it had to be covered. But the black women flipped it. The hair scarves were colorful and pretty so that fell flat
Have Coloured and Nigerian women on the hair panel. Coloured people have hair politics from here to Timbuktu and invest their energies in making it straight. Kroes hare, Glade hare, Skuur pot. (Coloured by Lynsey Chutel & Tessa Dooms have a whole chapter dedicated to hair in the Coloured community.) We just had Kaf*** hare or Basarwa(San people) hair, to mean coarse. On a wedding day we'd sing a song that says "Come out to see the bride looks as beautiful as a Coloured woman", but we never had hair politics really and we are generally bad at weaves as a country, they are not our default.
Yep. Recorded versions of the song say "... the bride looks like stars" instead of a Coloured woman. It's a lovely song: 'Tsoang Tsoang Tsoang' by Dr Victor & The Rasta Rebels.
Good vid. I am unimpressed with VP Harris thus far. They've already started with the 'if you're Greek, vote for Kamala' posts and it smacks of bullying and group-think. Y'all didn't pledge a puppet 😂🔺
Lmao but the American Ivy league school system is more weighted to "traditional" or lineage type system and that already is a problem for Black people as they weren't allowed into these institutions anyway I think they sell more exclusivity than anything else
quiet as it's kept, Lard is actually extremely healthy for the skin and hair....just add essential oil if you want it to smell good....I use tallow and add vanilla essential oil..It's great.
University of Johannesburg is the only Top Black University in South Africa. And it was co-founded by a Black American. All other Top Universities are White Apartheid Universities including WITS. UJ needs all the black support it can get. UJ is the only University we should be pumping money and ideas into and make sure it far surpasses all these Apartheid Universities.
@shisuiuchiha4800 UJ is a merger of RAU(Randse Afrikaanse Universiteit), Vista & Wits technikon... How did it become a black University when it is a Kader Asmal legacy?
This is not true, UJ is the merger of two former white institutions Rand Afrikaans Universteit (RAU) and Technikon Witwatersrand (TWR) as well as the third one being Vista University in Soweto. Former RAU is the main administration campus.
UJ was RAU , Rand Afrikaanse Universiteit . A symbol of apartheid. Wits on the other hand may have been previously whites only but was repsonsible for many firsts in our history from s far as the 1930s. Later on Wits on the forefront of white and liberal student protest against the apartheid government in the mid 80s. They staged the biggest protest against conscription because they didn't want to be sent to fight frontline black states. The late human rights activist Advocate George Bizos is a Witsie and met Nelson Mandela when they were Wits students . Bizos ,as the Head of the Law School Student Club, protested against the rule that black final year student weren't allowed to attend the Final Year Law Dinner . He threatened to boycott the dinner which usually invited Joburg's high society and dignitaries. The protest was a huge scandal and embarrassment for the university so they changed the rule. President Ramaphosa is also a Wits Law school alumni. The first black female Constitutional Court judge , the late Justice Yvonne Mokgoro is also a Witsie. The list of black industry pioneers that came out of Wits during apartheid is endless and for that I think Wits can be pardoned.
@@lebo5281 if you don't know how UJ was founded then keep your fingers in your pocket. UJ is not a continuation of RAU or WITS Technikon. They just bought the facilities that were existing in order to establish UJ. There's no crime in buying pre-existing structures to fast track the opening of an educational institution. UJ was founded very recently in 2005. Anything before that is not UJ. If you open a new company and purchase an already existing building instead of building a new from scratch that doesn't mean whatever was there before you is part of your company.
Man you studying the United snakes of amerikkka? What I’m almost 60 you could have asked me. Also there’s no such thing as good hair just real and fake😂😂😂😂

How can current American politics be poring. I've never seen it so dramatic. During the Trump/Biden debate a candidate for the American presidency was described as a rapist by his opponent. We are in a new zone.
