Thank you for all your comments everyone! Since you're all enjoying this video so much I'm thinking about turning it into a series? How does that sound? How long should the videos be? Should they be themed? Should they only be about hair? Please share your thoughts!
Idk if I'd like to hear so much about hair but I do like the format that you used with the figures from scientific journals and fun facts. I honestly like knowing things (especially about nutrition) so any topic would be great
I'm Palestinian, so that means I'm middle eastern, but I have afro hair, I was told my great great great grandmother was African, so I got it from her.. I find it very interesting, and I am blessed, but the problem is that here in Jordan (where I live) it's very hard someone who can deal with my hair, I just wish I still live in America it was much easier... but thank you for your video!! ♡♡♡♡ new sub!
You should make some hair videos on your channel. I'm sure there are a lot of girls over there who would love to learn how to embrace and care for their kinky hair as well.
Your hair does not need to be dealt with my dear. You just need someone who understands and loves your natural, God given hair!! Speak well of yourself!
+holymosesjew are you seriously going to cry over the fact she wont reply to you? thats like super childish and unnecessary. With an attitude like that, I wouldn't want to reply to you either. You don't deserve a reply from her. you get one whenever she has time. Get over it.
Africa is the most diverse continent, as an african myself (somali to be more specific) i have really soft & wavy hair. There are so many other "african" hair textures than just "afro" & kinky hair :-)
Somalis, nor horners in general, were originally Arab... they literally represent some of the earliest examples of anatomically modern humans in Africa. Their(horners) elongated phenotype predate the elongated phenotype in the Middle East. These features could be observed in the North kenyan Capsian fossils and around the time these fossils were dated to(paleolithic) human fossils in the middle east actually had a TROPICAL African phenotype. So, if there's any case to be made about admixture, it would be the horn into the middle east, not the other way around BUT it needs to be pointed out that it's most likely a case of convergent evolution- when two distinct populations develop similar physical features due to living in similar environments while not being necessarily closely related. Admixture cannot be used to explain all non-tropical features in Africans especially when HALF the continent is arid. Somalis are actually very homozygous(non-mixed) when compared to Ethiopians but studies show they display MORE hair texture diversity meaning that diversity is native to the population. Other African groups that display looser textures with little to no admixture are the fulani who only display European DNA markers at a maximum of 8% in a few individuals but still display a high occurrence of loose hair textures. The fulani and tutsi(who have no European admixture) also display the elongated features that horners do. So in short, what you just said is ignorance rooted in racist pseudo-science from centuries past.
thats who she reminded me of. her accents and the way she pronounces her words. it just reminded me of how Hermione talked in the first two movies if Harry Potter lol.
I'm shocked at the negative comments that are coming from the photos provided from scientific studies on different hair types. There should be no shame in admitting that your hair is more fragile than other hair types - it doesn't make you "less than" & prove that black hair is on the bottom of the totem pole. This just shows us that due to our different hair structure, we have to be more cautious how we handle our hair to get optimal hair growth retention. I'll be the first to admit that my ends split way faster than most, my hair strands are very fine and super coiled and tend to get dry easily. Its because of the shape of the strand. I'd rather be equipped with the knowledge to combat future breakage than get defensive online and bash someone for making an informative video on what the scientific studies have said about black hair.
We don't need any scientific paper to know that white men get bold way much sooner than black men. This is a fact. We need who are writing these papers. This girl needs to be reeducated. The occidental version of taking care of hair is all about business.
I am never surprised when black hair is demonized. I am glad when they talk about our hair in that manner, it brings a desire to fix what is considered wrong with our hair. They create our shampoo, our conditioners and our greases and oils, that helps keep our hair that way. Because we are blessed with variety of hair coils and textures we have to find what works best for our hair. Using naturally made products helps our hair gain moisture and grow. Stop using all these chemicals, wearing false hair and use things that the Africans use to grow their hair. The black hair industry is a billion dollar industry but we are not the ones with the billion dollars yet they demonize our hair. Dont understand it.
But why, I don't think it's pretty. I like hair with big, loose, shiny, soft, curls. Type 4 hair is annoying, frizzy, undefined and dull looking. I don't like the fact that my hair looks dry even when it's not. My hair get really curly when wet but becomes frizzy and undefined when dry.(Black)
This is the most informative video I’ve ever watched on TH-cam. I don’t want to hear about what condiments people are putting in their hair to grow it. I want to hear about the history and culture of hair based on scientific evidence. I love this video.
You are so knowledgable, this was more informative & better than I thought it would be, mainly down to the fact that you have a positive vibe & you're not annoying.
when i saw the knots i reached up in horror at my curly/frizzy/dreadlock-attempting ponypuff and swore on my soul that i would take better care of my hair... THANK YOU for the wakeup call!
I don’t mind that my hair is described as wooly. My hair does have s wooly appearance at times. As other hair types I.e. white hair, has a doggy appearance when it is not styled or cared for properly.
I get salty about studies on black people hair because they all seem to demean our hair type(s). I did take on somewhat of negative feeling in the beginning of this video with pics of black hair being extra knotted and the pics of the extra split ends verses the other types of hair being all nice and less affected. Pics like that some white people grab hold and continue to believe that black hair is nasty, untameable, not worth having, nor learning to become hair stylist for black hair. My words are no exaggeration I've heard it all from whites, not all whites think this. This study maybe factual but my emotions (to be honest) block some of these black studies due to negative projections they mainly chose to focus on and not show the positive sides of black hair. I did learn why our hair is tightly curled and that it does shine. thanks for this video.
I'm sure plenty of derogatory statements have been made about Asian hair. Their hair requires a lot of careful manipulation in order to change color and texture. And then maintaining its health. Hair Breakage in Patients of African Descent: Role of Dermoscopy "Global population forecasts from the US Central Intelligence Agency indicate that of the 1.5 billion people that the world is predicted to gain by 2020, 16% will be from Africa [4]. In light of this, and taking into account the current and predicted changes in global demographics, it is essential for clinicians to be familiar with hair and scalp disorders of people of African descent [5]. Hair and scalp disorders are a significant problem in African descent women. One of the reasons is that African hair is more fragile, has less tensile strength and reaches its breaking point earlier than the hair of other racial groups [6,7]."
Ok, I'm glad that there are going to be more stylists that are proficient in dealing with black hair (natural and chemically treated). Any smart salon owner would make sure to hire stylists with the most range of experience. No more horror stories like Oprah's at the fancy hair salon, watching her hair fall out and go down the sink drain.
She did mention that black hair produces less sebum. Meaning less oils and far more clean than those whose scalp produces much oil... How can that be seen as nasty?
+Vanessa Caesar: Our hair is perceived as nasty when in a non-straight style. I have been questioned by many whites about black hair and the oils and greases we use and their facial expressions are all the same if disbelief and distain. Some have said by putting oils and grease in our hair is "too much and looks nasty". that's why I said that. I know natural hair is not nasty but some whites "perceived " black hair as nasty....not all whites. that was my point
Okay so I didn't pay attention to every single thing you were saying because of your smile so here's a like for your teeth! I could watch you talk for hours just for your teeth
Luh Man well I'm straight up white (white parents, white grandparents, white great grandparents, white great great grandparents, white as far back as we can remember) and I have 3c hair with 4a sections. So yeah. They can have that hair. :/
Big Man There's nothing such as pure white genes or pure genes in general though except for very few african people everyone else has some other gene in them
Can you give more info, what genes were found in that area - R1a, R1b, E, J2, G or what? I've read smth about haplogroups in Europe but don't know about the middle east.
+Naturally High You should have titled it..When a white scientist or incredible source says it, It is true..To show just how gullible and knowledge you are, the article stated wooly hair was a word created in the 1700. Yet you actually believed a fallacious claim so laughable. Wooly hair is referred to divinely all thru out history and biblically in the old testament to describe Negroes, Moors/ Hebrew Israelites those times. Also it is wooly hair that is made in the original image of God and nature to be one with nature/The sub. So you believe a people illsuited not only by skin and rebuked by nature by virtue of being a genetic recessive defect of the original hueman phenotype but then recite blasphemous claims with white His-Story. The same murderous, sociopathic, stealing ppl who try to convince their ego that it is them who are original and more suited on this planet. You must wake up queen.
I've watched this video several times since you published it and I still love it. Thank you for sharing the scientific perspective and historical context about our hair. Well done! Your approach was informative without being abrasive towards those who historically cast a negative light on our hair. 👌🏿
Growing up we didn’t use the Term Afro hair amongst people with similar hair. We used Kinky hair and unfortunately “nappy” but Afro hair we saw in beauty supply stores. Which is a. New term… but can completely get the difference in hair textures
+Depths Of My Soul- Really, your referring to a people that both attract lice and is also scientifically PROVEN to be fur, yeah their hair is the strongest. Don't make me laugh.
thank you so much for the information! I especially enjoyed the research around the effectiveness of castor oil. I'll save quite a bit just using water from now on!
This was a really interesting video, and I love how you referred to scientific papers and the like for your info. I wasn't even aware that hair curls/waves were dictated by the cuticle itself.
And I thought I was the only one w that problem. I cut them off when it time for a trim. I never had this problem as a child. It started after my son was born.
I’m not sure who the “scientist” were who did this study or if the team included African scientists but this doesn’t cover the most IMPORTANT aspects of African hair. Coiled African hair acts as both an evaporator coil and condensing coil for the African. Air conditioning units have 2 types of coils: Evaporator Coils and Condensing Coils. Evaporator coils turn refrigerant liquid into gas as it absorbs heat from the inside air and removes moisture from the air and lets it drain out to a condenser pan. Condensing Coils release heat into the atmosphere with the aid of an exhaust fan. Coiled African hair absorbs heat from the air while keeping the hair is chilled at the root by the excreting sweat. This is why coiled African hair often appears “dry”. However, coiled African hair also absorbs moisture from the air just like evaporator coils. This is why African hair “frizzes up” when it is humid outside. All hair is an extension of the nervous system. All other groups on the planet absorb energy from the earth through their hair endings which point down. Africans hair point up. They absorb cosmic ray energy through their hair.
Appreciate the video. I learned a couple things about our hair that seperates us from other hair types as AA. 1. It's curly from the root. While Asian hair grows from the root straight and Caucasian hair grows out from the root wavy. Our hairs does have natural oils but since oil come from the scalp and our hair comes out the scalp in curls, the oils has a hardware time traveling down the shaft. For that reason always focus on making sure your ends are very moisturized to prevent splits. 2. Our hairs very pourous. Meaning it soaks up moisture easier than other hair types and because its pourous it looses moisture faster. Which explained our spongy like texture and is why we have to rely on conditioning agents more frequently . 3. Our hairs ranges on averages from fine, medium, to coarse. Where as Asian hair is mostly coarse and Caucasian hair mostly fine. This explains why we have difficulty finding products for our natural hair. Just because your sister and mom can use a product and get amazing results doesn't mean you can. She may have super coarse strands and your might be very fine. 4. As far a density. We have medium density. While Asians have the lowest density. and Caucasian have the highest.
Hey! Thanks for sharing! I'm not sure about the porosity: chemically untreated and undamaged Afro hair should not be porous as the cuticles have not been compromised. As a general rule, however, as hair ages it becomes more porous due to daily wear and tear.
the porosity varies from person to person and cuticles in natural hair can be "compromised". I have a few natural heads with porous hair that we have to treat in order to fill in the "Nicks" you rock girl!
+s lw braiding does not seal cuticles. we can grow our hair out without "protective styling". anyone who is manipulating their hair less may see an increase in growth. I respect your opinions tho. be well
When speaking of hair as being "course" or "fine" it is in reference to the thickness of the individual strand, not the texture (how it feels to the touch). Course hairs are thicker, and fine hairs are thinner. Straight hair that appears smooth can have course (thick) individual strands, or fine (thin) individual strands. Just as afro or tightly coiled hair can have fine (thin)) individual strands, or course ( thick) individual strands. 😊
If you're reading a King James version bible, it was translated and published during the dates the young lady stated so she is 100% correct with her information. All other translations are based on the king James version.
today i walked in my new school with my huge afro hair unstraightened and out of a ponytail and everyone complimented me! in my eyes i look somewat "crazy" today, but im still learning how to love my curls. my mother basically raised me to hate my hair and to be ashamed of it and even made me shave my head bald in 8th grade since it was super long down (to my butt when flat ironed) and curly and becoming badly matted. after growing it all back im glad i started realizing how beautiful my natural curls are and after today i'm glad to realize other people love it too!
I don't know why black folk criticise each other for whatever they choose to do to THEIR OWN hair. White folk colour. Bleach, curl, straighten etc... What's the issue. It's 2016... we don't need approval or justification... if it feels good, just do it
I agree. I see Asian ladies all the time dying their hair all kinds of colors and no one is running around telling them to leave their hair in a virgin state. I am a black woman and do what I want with my hair regardless of what people say.
The issue; is the reason behind why black women & girls treat thier hair the way they do. Self hate is non partisan affecting all people in a variety of ways. Not everyone hates aspects of themselves, but where self hate exists it's worth challenging, because it's effects are highly contagious and well...Destructive.
I agree. Just stop caring. Its your body. If you want to dye, fry it, braid it, cut it off , wear your afro. Wear it. Ain't it funny how ppl worry so much about us? We are pioneers of trends and always creating new ones. I guess we get mad because you hate on everything we do until you see we dont care and than everybody follows. I just seen a video of a girl being suspended for wearing her afro to school because it was a "distraction." And I know most bw can relate. Damned if we do or dont. Wear a afro and they call you pro-black, unkept, unemployable. Wear it straight and they say you hate your afro but you assimilate enough to fit in. smh. We look good with red hair, brown, blonde, black, purple hair. Whether we have braids, straihht pocahauntas hair, dreads, afros etc. And we will continue to do whatever we want with our body's while they try to find out why and sit back watch and criticize and admire.
I'm surprised by the blatant racism in the comments. But this video was very good. I like the way she presented her different sources while giving examples of biases. She also mentioned a lot of things I had no idea about. I just thought "black" hair was more curly, and never considered differences in shape and knotting. While I generally don't like videos that highlight racial differences, this was different. She is very organized and a wonderful speaker.
maybe you need to get used to it. black people hair can be straight or wooly. all ethnicities come from the black ethnicities. scientific evidence has been conducted on this. African American had genetic variation whereas whites of European heritage did not. blacks have all variations in phenotypes in hair and facial feature and other ethnicities got it from us, including pigmentation or skin tones.
let's not forget black Dravidian of India who exhibit straight hair. this is not the result of mixing with white Europeans. blacks can have different phenotypes whereas other ethnicities exhibited African phenotypes including darker pigmentation after centuries of mixing with black people.
African hairstyles have been imitated but not all of them. some of them are not imitated because wooly hair is unique. black Africans still exhibit different styles today because of their culture, their wooly hair.
Amazing! very informative, damn we complex. I love Caster oil especially black Jamaican even though studies say otherwise, I give it credit for growth and protection of my thin strands. Bring on the science!
Hey! I love castor oil as well! I just don't expect it to make my hair grow. It will definitely help with keeping your strands moisturised though - keep it up!
In the 60s we wash our hair oil our scalp rolled it and when we took it down it was a Afro todays young people have a scare fro our black need more oil and need more combing your hair saying on hair is wrong back in the day we took care of our hair
Your hair will grow regardless. What maintains length is not doing things to cause splitting and breakage. For example, I do not use unnatural oils (like castor oil) on my hair. My hair is just past my butt. It grows unfettered because I do nothing to it to cause it harm or break it off. Yes, my hair is very kinky. I keep it clean and without "product" so that the natural oils do what they do and my pores are not clogged.
That is true. Castor oil is a sealant so it helps to lock in moisture. It also reduces friction between strands, preventing knotting and minimising wear and tear.
IknowJah JahknowI Depends on the period. If it was during the 25th Dynasty - Yes Afro. As for the rest - nice straight hair. The DNA FROM MUMMIES HAVE PROVEN THE ANCIENT EYGPITANS WERE NOT NEGROS. (With the exception of the 25 th Dynasty. Nubian invaders)
Well it's not a myth. Castor oil is a moisturizer, so is water. As long as you put moisture in your hair and massage it, it will grow faster. It can be castor oil, coconut oil, water or whatever you want. Most people use castor oil and that's great for them. It's a misunderstood concept, but not a myth.
Water is a moisturizer. Castor oil is a sealant of the moisturizer. Castor oil can also give the illusion of fullness/thickness throughout the hair. The massaging of the scalp while applying anything is what stimulates growth in any area. It's only science facts.
Well I've tried coconut oil and not only did it dry my hair it prevents it from growing so I switched to castor oil and it's worked wonders for me everyone is different
NO it wasn't. The King James version of the bible was created around the time this man came up with the term.The bible has been manipulated too many times to be credible.
The bible has been proven to be inaccurate many times. Also, depending on who was the dominant ethinc group of the time they got to do the most changes and alterations. The bible is not accurate at all.
The nicean council, Constantinople, and king james (to name a few) all manipulated the bible by rewriting several things and taking books out of the bible as well as putting bullshit all through it. Also, the jews were never slaves in Egypt, Men did NOT come before women based on genetic testing, and there are migrations that did not occur in the biblical times mentioned in the bible.
Smh it appears you don't care about facts because you want to defend a falsehoods no matter what it takes. I can't wait when humanity moves forward beyond this primitive beliefs.
Hey! Thanks for your comment! I have tonnes more of these findings to share so I'll probably make a second part to the video or turn it into a series. Yes, quench those thirsty tresses! X
White like wool is old english for wooly hair lol..... read the newer translations you clown, because you clearly don't understand old 17 century english!
Saudi Prince you are a wild man to strap a boom to yourself Genesis 16:11-12 King James Version (KJV) 11 And the angel of the Lord said unto her, Behold, thou art with child and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the Lord hath heard thy affliction. 12 And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren. this is who you are a wild man boooooom blhahahahah th-cam.com/video/zdiLH5AvMuE/w-d-xo.html
why didnt you just ask a black person? Some of us would have educated you about our hair. At least I would have, I'm proud of my African heritage don't be afraid to ask us. I know some black people get offended but that's because from slavery through today,whites have been studying us like we were animals Instead of sitting down and letting us teach y'all our ways. Same thing with the Native Americans. We are willing to teach if you're willing to learn. Curiosity can be a beautiful gift, or a curse.
SHE is spewing old racist ideas of what black hair + Asian hair is. (with correcting it) Asians have a variety of hair types: What would Japanese need in a flat iron + Koreans Perms should not exist.
Thank you so much for sharing. since I stopped using comb's and brushes, or commercial Shampoo's and started using a shower filter, only wearing protective styles and no more synthetic hair, plus rinsing my hair with rice water at least 3 times a week, and only use olive oil and castor oil on my hair... my curls started forming and my hair is softer, plus less breakage and clearly less noting. Praise God for the wisdom :) and I am using Bee Propolis infused oil to massage my head before bed.. good relaxing and if I get a benefit of hair growth praise God.
That sounds like a very solid regime, especially the finger detangling and protective styles. I'm really happy to hear you've found what works for you!
Wig video is here: th-cam.com/video/yhvU_s9AZjs/w-d-xo.html Details on the unit are in the description box. Thank you for your comment Sweetie! Hope all is well. X
Please realize that every indigenous group of Africa does not have kinky hair, so "afro hair" is not a true description. The white man who made himself the "authority" on human classification also rated African people as low in intelligence and productivity. He's really not worthy of our attention. Otherwise your info was good as to the anatomy of hair types. :)
"Afro hair" means "black hair". She is European. I am too. We are referred to as afro-Caribbean people. "Afro" short for " of african descent". Afro hair, is how the rest of the world talks about black hair. "black hair" is an expression I have only heard american use.
LOl "Afro short for of African decent"? NO afro is what it says Afro HAIR. And am from the UK and I and everyone I know uses the term "Black hair" so please speak for yourself only.
+TwinsunLunacy Also...black is a color, not a race or a hairtype. The problem here is that people of color continue to place themselves below other people in every way. She says "Asian", "European", but "afro hair"?? What's wrong with that picture. As I said, there is no such thing as "Afro" or African hair. Africa is made up of many countries, cultures and types of DNA. Again, the man who created the ideals regarding "races"...was a bigotted idiot.
Hey! The reason I brought up Carolus Linnaeus was to highlight just that: his system of classifying humans was exceedingly limited and, of course racist. I also wanted to share that his is the system taxonomists use to this date to classify all living species. :)
I prefer not to follow the studies of Caucasians, not all but many are not honest with their facts. Who is to say, what they write is true? They have altered different stories, facts and other people's history. The Writers study was meant to praise caucasus people and it did not seem honest. I am talking about the writer's study not the video.
I mentioned Carolus Linneus to show that the founder of taxonomy was racist. The other studies are much more recent and based on real observations made under the modern scientific method. Not all the scientists are white! X
You are missing the point, the point is you took points from a white male and I am challenging you, to step outside of the Norm and state facts that are created by someone other than white. Yes, I know not all scientists are white but you posted a picture of a white man and did not post any other pictures of people of color. I want variety. Just a suggestion. You should, really review your video before posting them because they're plenty of facts, that you left out.
Thank you for all your comments everyone! Since you're all enjoying this video so much I'm thinking about turning it into a series? How does that sound? How long should the videos be? Should they be themed? Should they only be about hair? Please share your thoughts!

Africa is the most diverse continent, as an african myself (somali to be more specific) i have really soft & wavy hair. There are so many other "african" hair textures than just "afro" & kinky hair :-)
maybe because most somalians are originally arabs?
***** its a fact, most Somalis do have a soft wavy hair, but that doesn't mean they are oppressive or supports oppressors...
ahmed essa how? i'm pretty sure that somali people existed way before arabs😓😓
***** excuse me?? as far as i know i'm full somali and not mixed...
Somalis, nor horners in general, were originally Arab... they literally represent some of the earliest examples of anatomically modern humans in Africa. Their(horners) elongated phenotype predate the elongated phenotype in the Middle East. These features could be observed in the North
kenyan Capsian fossils and around the time these fossils were dated to(paleolithic) human fossils in the middle east actually had a TROPICAL African phenotype. So, if there's any case to be made about admixture, it would be the horn into the middle east, not the other way around BUT it needs to be pointed out that it's most likely a case of convergent evolution- when two distinct populations develop similar physical features due to living in similar environments while not being necessarily closely related.
Admixture cannot be used to explain all non-tropical features in Africans especially when HALF the continent is arid. Somalis are actually very homozygous(non-mixed) when compared to Ethiopians but studies show they display MORE hair texture diversity meaning that diversity is native to the population. Other African groups that display looser textures with little to no admixture are the fulani who only display European DNA markers at a maximum of 8% in a few individuals but still display a high occurrence of loose hair textures. The fulani and tutsi(who have no European admixture) also display the elongated features that horners do. So in short, what you just said is ignorance rooted in racist pseudo-science from centuries past.

YASSSSSS
Jesus' hair in the bible was described as being 'wooly hair'.
he was black thats why
it says His hair was "white like wool" indicating the color that the observer saw, not the texture.
it says His hair was "white like wool" indicating the color that the observer saw, not the texture.
John Massey It meant both the colour and the texture. And his skin was bronze. What colour is bronze? It's brown!! Jesus was a black man!!!
Nomahr Lemma You're damn right.
I hate when my single hair strands gets knots on it. How did my hair knot itself on one strand? 😂
Same! But if you're consistent, you can prevent them: th-cam.com/video/ZulXAotxDB0/w-d-xo.html
Story of my life
Worse yet when your hair is semi freeform an it knots up in a day 😅
You need to keep your hair stretched to prevent that
I'm shocked at the negative comments that are coming from the photos provided from scientific studies on different hair types. There should be no shame in admitting that your hair is more fragile than other hair types - it doesn't make you "less than" & prove that black hair is on the bottom of the totem pole. This just shows us that due to our different hair structure, we have to be more cautious how we handle our hair to get optimal hair growth retention. I'll be the first to admit that my ends split way faster than most, my hair strands are very fine and super coiled and tend to get dry easily. Its because of the shape of the strand. I'd rather be equipped with the knowledge to combat future breakage than get defensive online and bash someone for making an informative video on what the scientific studies have said about black hair.
Black hair isn't on the bottom of the totem pole.... European nonsense
We don't need any scientific paper to know that white men get bold way much sooner than black men. This is a fact. We need who are writing these papers. This girl needs to be reeducated. The occidental version of taking care of hair is all about business.
I am never surprised when black hair is demonized. I am glad when they talk about our hair in that manner, it brings a desire to fix what is considered wrong with our hair. They create our shampoo, our conditioners and our greases and oils, that helps keep our hair that way. Because we are blessed with variety of hair coils and textures we have to find what works best for our hair. Using naturally made products helps our hair gain moisture and grow. Stop using all these chemicals, wearing false hair and use things that the Africans use to grow their hair. The black hair industry is a billion dollar industry but we are not the ones with the billion dollars yet they demonize our hair. Dont understand it.
@@jenny-im9gc I agree.
White people don't have hair, they grow fur equivalent to dog fur
I'm a white Anglo- Saxon and have always admired and envied the lush thick African hair. What's not to like.
Aw! Thanks for your comment!
Cat Kola thank you
Cat Kola Wow that’s great to hear!! Thank you
But why, I don't think it's pretty. I like hair with big, loose, shiny, soft, curls. Type 4 hair is annoying, frizzy, undefined and dull looking. I don't like the fact that my hair looks dry even when it's not. My hair get really curly when wet but becomes frizzy and undefined when dry.(Black)
I looked up white anglo saxon. So are you wealthy or rich if so what it like?!!
This is the most informative video I’ve ever watched on TH-cam. I don’t want to hear about what condiments people are putting in their hair to grow it. I want to hear about the history and culture of hair based on scientific evidence. I love this video.
Finally a scholarly report on this topic. I was really frustrated when Vloggers posted inaccurate information from non-reliable sources. Bravo!
You are so knowledgable, this was more informative & better than I thought it would be, mainly down to the fact that you have a positive vibe & you're not annoying.
the term "wooly hair" has been around for thousands of years. The Greeks described the Egyptians/Ethiopians as having wooly hair (afro).
Egyptians were ruled by different ethical groups some may have been dark.

when i saw the knots i reached up in horror at my curly/frizzy/dreadlock-attempting ponypuff and swore on my soul that i would take better care of my hair...
THANK YOU for the wakeup call!
You're MOST welcome! I hope you've managed to detangle that section :)

I'm nappy and I'm happy :-)
:D
so am I. My hair is thicker, longer, and healthier for it. Perms broke my hair out
Mine too. Only regret I have with going natural is that I didn't do it sooner lol
I don’t mind that my hair is described as wooly. My hair does have s wooly appearance at times. As other hair types I.e. white hair, has a doggy appearance when it is not styled or cared for properly.
Adrienne Whiting frfr I’m glad my hair doesn’t attract lice and smell like wet dog
I get salty about studies on black people hair because they all seem to demean our hair type(s). I did take on somewhat of negative feeling in the beginning of this video with pics of black hair being extra knotted and the pics of the extra split ends verses the other types of hair being all nice and less affected. Pics like that some white people grab hold and continue to believe that black hair is nasty, untameable, not worth having, nor learning to become hair stylist for black hair. My words are no exaggeration I've heard it all from whites, not all whites think this. This study maybe factual but my emotions (to be honest) block some of these black studies due to negative projections they mainly chose to focus on and not show the positive sides of black hair. I did learn why our hair is tightly curled and that it does shine. thanks for this video.
I'm sure plenty of derogatory statements have been made about Asian hair. Their hair requires a lot of careful manipulation in order to change color and texture. And then maintaining its health.
Hair Breakage in Patients of African Descent: Role of Dermoscopy
"Global population forecasts from the US Central Intelligence Agency indicate that of the 1.5 billion people that the world is predicted to gain by 2020, 16% will be from Africa [4]. In light of this, and taking into account the current and predicted changes in global demographics, it is essential for clinicians to be familiar with hair and scalp disorders of people of African descent [5].
Hair and scalp disorders are a significant problem in African descent women. One of the reasons is that African hair is more fragile, has less tensile strength and reaches its breaking point earlier than the hair of other racial groups [6,7]."
+T's Channel: You just proved my point.
Ok, I'm glad that there are going to be more stylists that are proficient in dealing with black hair (natural and chemically treated). Any smart salon owner would make sure to hire stylists with the most range of experience. No more horror stories like Oprah's at the fancy hair salon, watching her hair fall out and go down the sink drain.
She did mention that black hair produces less sebum. Meaning less oils and far more clean than those whose scalp produces much oil... How can that be seen as nasty?
+Vanessa Caesar: Our hair is perceived as nasty when in a non-straight style. I have been questioned by many whites about black hair and the oils and greases we use and their facial expressions are all the same if disbelief and distain. Some have said by putting oils and grease in our hair is "too much and looks nasty". that's why I said that. I know natural hair is not nasty but some whites "perceived " black hair as nasty....not all whites. that was my point
Okay so I didn't pay attention to every single thing you were saying because of your smile so here's a like for your teeth! I could watch you talk for hours just for your teeth
I'm mixed but my mom is white with extremely curly hair, almost as curly as mine, and I have 4b hair. So we share ethnic hair products lol
How convenient!
Luh Man well I'm straight up white (white parents, white grandparents, white great grandparents, white great great grandparents, white as far back as we can remember) and I have 3c hair with 4a sections. So yeah. They can have that hair. :/
Big Man There's nothing such as pure white genes or pure genes in general though except for very few african people everyone else has some other gene in them
Big Man yes I said the same thing
Ashley wagers no no no 😏
"Woolie"is also one of the words used in the Bible to describe Christ.Hmm*
yess, hmmm right
The Bible has been translated numerous times
Thank you
jews were white and had wooly hair? LOL ok. Doubt their were any whites at all in Jerusalem. another white man being deceiving and manipulative
Can you give more info, what genes were found in that area - R1a, R1b, E, J2, G or what? I've read smth about haplogroups in Europe but don't know about the middle east.
I love the way you presented information,so through and clear^^
Thank you dear! I'm happy to hear it was well received!
Your accent is lovely!
Thank you Doll! X
+Naturally High You should have titled it..When a white scientist or incredible source says it, It is true..To show just how gullible and knowledge you are, the article stated wooly hair was a word created in the 1700. Yet you actually believed a fallacious claim so laughable. Wooly hair is referred to divinely all thru out history and biblically in the old testament to describe Negroes, Moors/ Hebrew Israelites those times. Also it is wooly hair that is made in the original image of God and nature to be one with nature/The sub. So you believe a people illsuited not only by skin and rebuked by nature by virtue of being a genetic recessive defect of the original hueman phenotype but then recite blasphemous claims with white His-Story. The same murderous, sociopathic, stealing ppl who try to convince their ego that it is them who are original and more suited on this planet. You must wake up queen.
+Charlene Maitha thank you! X
nice
Extremely informative! Where did you get your wig? It's amazing
I've watched this video several times since you published it and I still love it. Thank you for sharing the scientific perspective and historical context about our hair. Well done! Your approach was informative without being abrasive towards those who historically cast a negative light on our hair. 👌🏿
Growing up we didn’t use the Term Afro hair amongst people with similar hair. We used Kinky hair and unfortunately “nappy” but Afro hair we saw in beauty supply stores. Which is a. New term… but can completely get the difference in hair textures
yyyaasss!!! I loved how informative this was!! Big ups for using the journal articles (fellow scientist here ;)
Hi there! Thank you!! :D What's your area?
+Naturally High I'm in biochemistry...you? :)
I actually love this research 😭 new subbie
Yaaah right?😭😭😭
Great vid! I like the scientific basis- we need more of this type of presentation. Well done!
Thank you! I plan on turning this into a series!
"demonic"? well, sometimes. when those twist outs don't come out the right way I feel as though that might be true 😆
Hahaa!
Lol!
In other words as long as we keep washing our hair daily then we see less damage. Isn't science wonderful, great stuff to the sister.
+Depths Of My Soul- Really, your referring to a people that both attract lice and is also scientifically PROVEN to be fur, yeah their hair is the strongest. Don't make me laugh.
Depths Of My Soul WRONG!!!!
Best natural hair video I have ever seen. Thank you
Wow! What an honour! Thank you!
thank you so much for the information! I especially enjoyed the research around the effectiveness of castor oil. I'll save quite a bit just using water from now on!
That's a nice wig, it looks so natural on you💞
this sounds so shady.
Thank you! I don't find your comment shady at all!
Thanks so much, I really meant it as a compliment. Keep doing you Diva💁🏾💁🏾💞
That’s just what I was thinking. It looks so natural. Really Thought it was her hair.
I thought it was her hair too....then she said wig, and i said "where, WHERE?!" lol
I was honestly shook when you said it was a wig. I remember you wearing a wig and me being shook the same way. You really know how to slay wigs
so intelligent and well spoken

This was a really interesting video, and I love how you referred to scientific papers and the like for your info. I wasn't even aware that hair curls/waves were dictated by the cuticle itself.
Great informative video! I love that you used science to tackle these myths about natural hair. Looking forward to more videos like this.

You welcome and thats awesome looking forward to it!!!
THE NATURAL HAVEN.....is the real deal. The best Natural hair blog.
Indeed!
I’m not sure who the “scientist” were who did this study or if the team included African scientists but this doesn’t cover the most IMPORTANT aspects of African hair.
Coiled African hair acts as both an evaporator coil and condensing coil for the African.
Air conditioning units have 2 types of coils: Evaporator Coils and Condensing Coils.
Evaporator coils turn refrigerant liquid into gas as it absorbs heat from the inside air and removes moisture from the air and lets it drain out to a condenser pan. Condensing Coils release heat into the atmosphere with the aid of an exhaust fan.
Coiled African hair absorbs heat from the air while keeping the hair is chilled at the root by the excreting sweat. This is why coiled African hair often appears “dry”. However, coiled African hair also absorbs moisture from the air just like evaporator coils. This is why African hair “frizzes up” when it is humid outside.
All hair is an extension of the nervous system.
All other groups on the planet absorb energy from the earth through their hair endings which point down.
Africans hair point up. They absorb cosmic ray energy through their hair.
M. Harrison very true
I was with you until the last part.
Appreciate the video. I learned a couple things about our hair that seperates us from other hair types as AA.
1. It's curly from the root. While Asian hair grows from the root straight and Caucasian hair grows out from the root wavy. Our hairs does have natural oils but since oil come from the scalp and our hair comes out the scalp in curls, the oils has a hardware time traveling down the shaft. For that reason always focus on making sure your ends are very moisturized to prevent splits.
2. Our hairs very pourous. Meaning it soaks up moisture easier than other hair types and because its pourous it looses moisture faster. Which explained our spongy like texture and is why we have to rely on conditioning agents more frequently .
3. Our hairs ranges on averages from fine, medium, to coarse. Where as Asian hair is mostly coarse and Caucasian hair mostly fine. This explains why we have difficulty finding products for our natural hair. Just because your sister and mom can use a product and get amazing results doesn't mean you can. She may have super coarse strands and your might be very fine.
4. As far a density. We have medium density. While Asians have the lowest density. and Caucasian have the highest.
Hey! Thanks for sharing! I'm not sure about the porosity: chemically untreated and undamaged Afro hair should not be porous as the cuticles have not been compromised. As a general rule, however, as hair ages it becomes more porous due to daily wear and tear.
the porosity varies from person to person and cuticles in natural hair can be "compromised". I have a few natural heads with porous hair that we have to treat in order to fill in the "Nicks" you rock girl!
+s lw braiding does not seal cuticles. we can grow our hair out without "protective styling". anyone who is manipulating their hair less may see an increase in growth. I respect your opinions tho. be well
When speaking of hair as being "course" or "fine" it is in reference to the thickness of the individual strand, not the texture (how it feels to the touch). Course hairs are thicker, and fine hairs are thinner. Straight hair that appears smooth can have course (thick) individual strands, or fine (thin) individual strands. Just as afro or tightly coiled hair can have fine (thin)) individual strands, or course ( thick) individual strands. 😊
Hair is different than fur......
Very well done, looking forward to more from you!
Thank you! I really appreciate it. This video took ages to make so I'm working on a more efficient way to keep content like this coming. X
incredibly informative. thank you so much
Happy to help! X
great video! Love videos like this!
Thank you!
Good video pretty girl ;)
Also there are two accounts in the Bible describing hair as "wool". Daniel 7:9 & Rev 1:14. That's probably where "wooly" came from.
Thats the verse I was looking for the other day! thanks for sharing
If you're reading a King James version bible, it was translated and published during the dates the young lady stated so she is 100% correct with her information. All other translations are based on the king James version.
Yes, it was describing Jesus. Not every African.
all versions are not based on the King James version. LOL. King James based his version on text way older than his version.
pure Africans have hair like wool.
Wow, amazing research! You explained it so eloquently :) xxx
Aw thank you! *grins from ear to ear*
You're very welcome! :)
The video I didn't know I needed. Thank you. Still important to this day.
Very nicely done! Educational!
we have the best hair
Agreed!
black queen yes my sista
naim sharif if it's the best hair why do I always see straight weaves
True, I'm white tho lmao. (With "black hair")
naim sharif why so racist?
today i walked in my new school with my huge afro hair unstraightened and out of a ponytail and everyone complimented me! in my eyes i look somewat "crazy" today, but im still learning how to love my curls. my mother basically raised me to hate my hair and to be ashamed of it and even made me shave my head bald in 8th grade since it was super long down (to my butt when flat ironed) and curly and becoming badly matted. after growing it all back im glad i started realizing how beautiful my natural curls are and after today i'm glad to realize other people love it too!
I love the way you speak. So well spoken and classy
Wow! Great information, thanks!
Thank you! I had a great time compiling it!
I don't know why black folk criticise each other for whatever they choose to do to THEIR OWN hair.
White folk colour. Bleach, curl, straighten etc... What's the issue. It's 2016... we don't need approval or justification... if it feels good, just do it
Amen! We're all dying everyday so we better find some happiness☺️☺️☺️
I agree. I see Asian ladies all the time dying their hair all kinds of colors and no one is running around telling them to leave their hair in a virgin state. I am a black woman and do what I want with my hair regardless of what people say.
OMG yes! Preach! :)
The issue; is the reason behind why black women & girls treat thier hair the way they do. Self hate is non partisan affecting all people in a variety of ways. Not everyone hates aspects of themselves, but where self hate exists it's worth challenging, because it's effects are highly contagious and well...Destructive.
I agree. Just stop caring. Its your body. If you want to dye, fry it, braid it, cut it off , wear your afro. Wear it. Ain't it funny how ppl worry so much about us? We are pioneers of trends and always creating new ones. I guess we get mad because you hate on everything we do until you see we dont care and than everybody follows. I just seen a video of a girl being suspended for wearing her afro to school because it was a "distraction." And I know most bw can relate. Damned if we do or dont. Wear a afro and they call you pro-black, unkept, unemployable. Wear it straight and they say you hate your afro but you assimilate enough to fit in. smh. We look good with red hair, brown, blonde, black, purple hair. Whether we have braids, straihht pocahauntas hair, dreads, afros etc. And we will continue to do whatever we want with our body's while they try to find out why and sit back watch and criticize and admire.
I'm surprised by the blatant racism in the comments.
But this video was very good. I like the way she presented her different sources while giving examples of biases. She also mentioned a lot of things I had no idea about. I just thought "black" hair was more curly, and never considered differences in shape and knotting. While I generally don't like videos that highlight racial differences, this was different. She is very organized and a wonderful speaker.
maybe you need to get used to it. black people hair can be straight or wooly. all ethnicities come from the black ethnicities. scientific evidence has been conducted on this. African American had genetic variation whereas whites of European heritage did not. blacks have all variations in phenotypes in hair and facial feature and other ethnicities got it from us, including pigmentation or skin tones.
let's not forget black Dravidian of India who exhibit straight hair. this is not the result of mixing with white Europeans. blacks can have different phenotypes whereas other ethnicities exhibited African phenotypes including darker pigmentation after centuries of mixing with black people.
so black people hair is different from other ethnicities. wooly hair is unique. that why Buddha hair, Jesus hair etc are all wooly.
African hairstyles have been imitated but not all of them. some of them are not imitated because wooly hair is unique. black Africans still exhibit different styles today because of their culture, their wooly hair.
+Emma Lucas yeah some of these comments are hilarious and not in a good way. I'm glad you found this video interesting and informative. :)
Amazing! very informative, damn we complex. I love Caster oil especially black Jamaican even though studies say otherwise, I give it credit for growth and protection of my thin strands. Bring on the science!
Hey! I love castor oil as well! I just don't expect it to make my hair grow. It will definitely help with keeping your strands moisturised though - keep it up!
really informative chicken. luvd it. I was definitely a believer in the castor oil method.
Chicken? 🐔
racist?
In the 60s we wash our hair oil our scalp rolled it and when we took it down it was a Afro todays young people have a scare fro our black need more oil and need more combing your hair saying on hair is wrong back in the day we took care of our hair
castor oil seals in moisture well, which I think contributes largely to growth
Or perhaps stos hair knotting at ends therefore less breakage and causing hair to retain length.
Your hair will grow regardless. What maintains length is not doing things to cause splitting and breakage. For example, I do not use unnatural oils (like castor oil) on my hair. My hair is just past my butt. It grows unfettered because I do nothing to it to cause it harm or break it off. Yes, my hair is very kinky. I keep it clean and without "product" so that the natural oils do what they do and my pores are not clogged.
what works for me may not work for you, no matter how unnatural it is.....
That is true. Castor oil is a sealant so it helps to lock in moisture. It also reduces friction between strands, preventing knotting and minimising wear and tear.
I agree! I use oils and conditioners on my ends mainly. My scalp responds negatively to being covered with oils.
What kind of hair was found on mummies in the tombs of Egypt
afro!!
Thank you for the response much appreciated
IknowJah JahknowI Depends on the period. If it was during the 25th Dynasty - Yes Afro.
As for the rest - nice straight hair.
The DNA FROM MUMMIES HAVE PROVEN THE ANCIENT EYGPITANS WERE NOT NEGROS. (With the exception of the 25 th Dynasty. Nubian invaders)
Very Good. Informative, educational,, and less personal talk.
Love love LOVE your accent! Great informative vid, keep 'em coming!
I love this! You did some good research 👏
Thank you for mentioning that tired myth about castor oil! And people swear by it .
Well it's not a myth. Castor oil is a moisturizer, so is water. As long as you put moisture in your hair and massage it, it will grow faster. It can be castor oil, coconut oil, water or whatever you want. Most people use castor oil and that's great for them.
It's a misunderstood concept, but not a myth.
+Fatima Krantz only water can moisturise.
Water is a moisturizer. Castor oil is a sealant of the moisturizer. Castor oil can also give the illusion of fullness/thickness throughout the hair. The massaging of the scalp while applying anything is what stimulates growth in any area. It's only science facts.
Well I've tried coconut oil and not only did it dry my hair it prevents it from growing so I switched to castor oil and it's worked wonders for me everyone is different
Coconut Jive yeah my hair doesn't like coconut oil either but the castor oil holds in the moisture really great for me but still makes my scalp itch!
the first use of the word "woolly hair" was in the BIBLE to describe what Jesus looked like
Michael Evans yeah Arabs have wooly hair. Nothing in the bible is accurate though
NO it wasn't. The King James version of the bible was created around the time this man came up with the term.The bible has been manipulated too many times to be credible.
The bible has been proven to be inaccurate many times. Also, depending on who was the dominant ethinc group of the time they got to do the most changes and alterations. The bible is not accurate at all.
The nicean council, Constantinople, and king james (to name a few) all manipulated the bible by rewriting several things and taking books out of the bible as well as putting bullshit all through it. Also, the jews were never slaves in Egypt, Men did NOT come before women based on genetic testing, and there are migrations that did not occur in the biblical times mentioned in the bible.
Smh it appears you don't care about facts because you want to defend a falsehoods no matter what it takes. I can't wait when humanity moves forward beyond this primitive beliefs.
You are very well spoken and pleasant to listen to
Thanks for the info! It was very informative
It was a pleasure to make! Glad you found it interesting!
Very interesting! I wanted to hear more. I also wanted to immediately go moisturize my hair 😂
Hey! Thanks for your comment! I have tonnes more of these findings to share so I'll probably make a second part to the video or turn it into a series. Yes, quench those thirsty tresses! X

Watched this video out of curiosity about hair types especially Afro hair. Thanks for backing your video with Science!
This is great! thanks for posting it
Thank you! Feel free to pass it on to others you think may benefit from it. X
Not black...but I watch for her Beauty, her teeth, and her beautiful accent. Learned a bit about my black brethren's hair as well!! Great vid!!!
Hey! I'm happy to hear that! Thank you!
afro hair severely damaged?? was the hair completely natural, or had it been chemically manipulated at any time; which would explain the damage
It was natural.
Natural dosent automatically = undamaged. My hair is virgin hair and its so damaged when I touch it my hands comes away with small bits of hair.
I'm a white girl but very glad to get perspective
I'm glad you found it interesting!
why didnt you just ask a black person? Some of us would have educated you about our hair. At least I would have, I'm proud of my African heritage don't be afraid to ask us. I know some black people get offended but that's because from slavery through today,whites have been studying us like we were animals Instead of sitting down and letting us teach y'all our ways. Same thing with the Native Americans. We are willing to teach if you're willing to learn. Curiosity can be a beautiful gift, or a curse.
SHE is spewing old racist ideas of what black hair + Asian hair is. (with correcting it) Asians have a variety of hair types: What would Japanese need in a flat iron + Koreans Perms should not exist.
1. That does NOT look like a wig. What kind of wig is that? The part looks VERY natural. 2. do you wear wigs as a protective style often?
that wig looks thirsty af it's terible
I didn't know she was wearing a wig.
LMMFAO!!!!
@mana crack why because it's not bone straight like a white woman's?
I was thinking the same exact thought. That doesn't look like a wig, I like that look. Is thata yaky wig?
thanks 4 communicating so well.
+Tia Shante aw! You're welcome! :D
Thank you so much for sharing.
since I stopped using comb's and brushes, or commercial Shampoo's and started using a shower filter, only wearing protective styles and no more synthetic hair, plus rinsing my hair with rice water at least 3 times a week, and only use olive oil and castor oil on my hair... my curls started forming and my hair is softer, plus less breakage and clearly less noting. Praise God for the wisdom :)
and I am using Bee Propolis infused oil to massage my head before bed.. good relaxing and if I get a benefit of hair growth praise God.
That sounds like a very solid regime, especially the finger detangling and protective styles. I'm really happy to hear you've found what works for you!
I think I've seen those images before..Those knots are real. Lol. I didn't notice the wig at first. Hehehe.
It matches her texture perfectly!

Thank you for your comment Sweetie! Hope all is well. X
Please realize that every indigenous group of Africa does not have kinky hair, so "afro hair" is not a true description. The white man who made himself the "authority" on human classification also rated African people as low in intelligence and productivity. He's really not worthy of our attention. Otherwise your info was good as to the anatomy of hair types. :)
"Afro hair" means "black hair". She is European. I am too. We are referred to as afro-Caribbean people. "Afro" short for " of african descent".
Afro hair, is how the rest of the world talks about black hair. "black hair" is an expression I have only heard american use.
LOl "Afro short for of African decent"? NO afro is what it says Afro HAIR. And am from the UK and I and everyone I know uses the term "Black hair" so please speak for yourself only.
+TwinsunLunacy I totally understand the misuse of terminology regarding kinky hair. Please see my comments above.
+TwinsunLunacy Also...black is a color, not a race or a hairtype. The problem here is that people of color continue to place themselves below other people in every way. She says "Asian", "European", but "afro hair"?? What's wrong with that picture. As I said, there is no such thing as "Afro" or African hair. Africa is made up of many countries, cultures and types of DNA.
Again, the man who created the ideals regarding "races"...was a bigotted idiot.
Hey! The reason I brought up Carolus Linnaeus was to highlight just that: his system of classifying humans was exceedingly limited and, of course racist. I also wanted to share that his is the system taxonomists use to this date to classify all living species. :)
I prefer not to follow the studies of Caucasians, not all but many are not honest with their facts. Who is to say, what they write is true? They have altered different stories, facts and other people's history. The Writers study was meant to praise caucasus people and it did not seem honest. I am talking about the writer's study not the video.
I mentioned Carolus Linneus to show that the founder of taxonomy was racist. The other studies are much more recent and based on real observations made under the modern scientific method. Not all the scientists are white! X
ChocolatemintSweetie I agree with you
You are missing the point, the point is you took points from a white male and I am challenging you, to step outside of the Norm and state facts that are created by someone other than white. Yes, I know not all scientists are white but you posted a picture of a white man and did not post any other pictures of people of color. I want variety. Just a suggestion. You should, really review your video before posting them because they're plenty of facts, that you left out.
Go away, people with Privilege always got to make something up, to be oppressed about! 😭😭
Where in my text, did I say Scientists are all white? It's like no one reads; nowadays. I really, need you to get a life.
I love your videos. Informative and relevant. Not too lengthy. Well planned. Good job
