- / blackparenting1 - This video is titled 13 CRAZY Things White People Think About Black Hair at Work and at School. It was part of an original article in the Huffington Post as a response to Black women having their jobs threatened because of their natural hair and Black girls being kicked out of school because of the same. The original article can be found here - www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/1...
a Caucasian chick at work jokingly said to me "oh, you wearing your white girl hair today!" Referring to my natural hair being straightened. I gently told her that my hair is "black" every day whether it's twisted or straightened and to keep her foolish comments to herself. So, yes, this video is very necessary.
SMH
Von very nicely stated! I t is just us that gets the stupid questions.

Roxanne Reid uhh huh get her fired
To everyone who thinks that black hair doesn't grow...you poor misguided souls..
Brittany Alexander amen
Brittany Alexander yea you just have to pull it because it scrunches up. You have to stretch it to actually see it's full length. I'm half black half white and I have extremely curly hair and it's gorgeous but I just get upset because it's up to my shoulders but if I stretch it out it's actually longer or when I straighten it lol.

I wish the teachers would show this at school
Artist God
Sometimes, the teachers need to be shown this!
Yeah I also wish teachers decided to shoe about hair or some shit when it’s not on the curriculum or that no one cares about
They not cause they don't want us to know the truth
❤️❤️💯💯💯💯
😂😂😂 They ain't showing it because it spitting facts and they will be exposed.
I hate when people ask if its real like nah its made out of goldfish

Someone once asked whether I glued it to my head
THE WAY I SCREWED THEM AND WALKED AWAY
Eni ! TWINSSSSSSSS!! WHAT ARE THEY THINKING!?!?
I hate when people touch my hair without asking. I'm not a something you can touch without asking.
+Biohazard BoB "Nasty" hair? White supremacy indoctrination sure did a hell of a job on you.
C Reed Why thank you. ;-)
Simone M. I died my hair green and people kept touching my hair.
I'm blonde. Try being blonde and stepping outside the west
Yeah me to. It happens all the time when I grow my hair out long.
My *white* principle actually complimented me on how my natural afro looked and said it was very neat. Soon after that many other students from my school stopped relaxing their hair and let it grow naturally 👩🦱 #hairpositivity
nicee thats good
I'm Puerto Rican and I have very curly hair and I hate when these white kids just touch my hair, WITHOUT EVEN ASKING. And then they always ask if it's real I'm just like YES...YES IT IS REAL!!! And then like a week later at school the same person always ask if it's real LIKE EVERY WEEK 😣😒😤😬
@@anonuser365 Puerto Ricans are black.
smack their hand away. whites are fawking weirdos man
Thank you omg stop touching my hair don't you have hair
@@nicolen3177 no they're not.
@From a Bicycle seat oh I did not know this.. I thought Puerto Ricans are black, mixed, or spanish.. I guess I was wrong. Thank you
People at my school: “You should let your hair down for once”
Me: “What does that mean”
People at my school: “Straighten it. Like mine”
Me: “GTFO”
Cicely Le Chicken Tendie ikr, my shit goes right up after flat ironing.
My hair would look HORRIBLE if it's straightened forever!
I don't want those hairstyles!
trueee
That shits pisses me off so much you have no idea.
Bealae E OMFG SAMEEEE
I had white girls at my school pull on my hair and ask if it's a weave. I'm like bitch why would I need a weave when my hair's sexy af already?
Angel Hardman . you should've slapped them for pulling your hair.
Angel Hardman i hate that too because my hair is down to like my mid-back so they be like is it real like BISH JUST BECAUSE IT'S LONG DOESN'T MEAN IT'S WEAVE TRUST ME IF IT WAS WEAVE YOU WOULD NOTICE AND I WOULD MAKE IT LONGER FOR YOUR INFORMATION BUT I LOVE MY HAIR TOO MUCH TO DO THAT and i would slap the living daylights out the person who pulled my hair
Angel Hardman That happens to me so much I hate it.
Angel Hardman ikr people at my school would do that to me too
Why didn't you do something? That's assault.
I remember one time in school someone asked me why I don't let my hair down. I said, "Well, why do you always have your hair down?" They said, " Because I want to and it's my hair" I said, "Exactly"
A better reply would be why don't you let your hair up?
When I wear my hair out.
"Omg, you have so much hair, when are you going to straighten it?" 🙄Please stop.
Proud Plays And Reacts I know right!!! That’s kinda like saying that’s short hair. When are you gonna curl it???
wishing white kids in school saw this
Me, too.
Bri Jackson same
Bri Jackson ikr
Ikr I am so tired of people making fun of my natural hair just because they don't understand it😥
Bri Jackson hello I'm in school and white, I don't think these, "black" hair is beautiful and I love it better than my own.
I have long african american hair...i hate when people ask me if my hair is real that pisses me off
J V it's disrespectful to like it's none of their business even if it was a weave
Just. Laugh and say lol I was going to ask you the same thing
just me ok..... Thank you thats a good one
Same here, I get so sick n tired of that question especially when it comes from nonblack people, like all yall do is talk shit about black women for wearing weave wtf u wanna know if its my real hair n how did I get it to grow out long.
BeautyLoveGoddess
I never heard a lot of white girls speak badly about weave.
“Black hair doesn’t grow”
Bish my hair is at my hips
Sometimes I wear weave or color weave

“My hair is so hard to brush!” ~Every white girl that has straight hair
Denver Lindsay i had straight long hair and it was so fucking hard to brush
My hair is incredibly hard to brush
My hair is weird. One minute it will be nice and strait but then another minute it will be curly of frizzy. I don’t really use heat on my hair that often. My hair usually is wavy. I hate my hair.
Denver Lindsay exactly fr
Yooooo. This is truee
U wouldnt even believe the amount of times people have asked to touch my hair
Tamar chibamu same. It is not just black person problem
Tamar chibamu same
imagine their reaction if u asked to touch their hair...they would freak the FUCK up
Asains man Asains I don't know why but they always askin to touch my hair
Tamar chibamu , I'm hip there like your hair is so long and thick can i touch and I'm like if you don't get out my face...
what about people mind their own damn business
Yesss thank you
Sadly, that world is far away...*cough* tea channels *cough*
Yes🤣
I tell people at school, not to touch my hair, they laugh it off and do it anyway, after I feel disrespected.
Also, people love saying I don't have much hair, *my hair is coming out due to me laying on the carpet* *its coming out* *i take care of it though* *it just grows slow*
Your hair doesn’t grow slow, lol. It just doesn’t retain the length that it does grow🤦🏽♀️
Swat those ppl hands away girl
The people that touch your hair, without your permission, just punch them in the face!
Get your mom to complain to the Principal. Worked for my friend, should work for you.
I get to school and my hair looks perfect. People touch my hair. I get back home it seems as if I just woke up. Like, no, stop.
I hate when people touch my hair
Me too
Dakota Storm thanks for not being racially biased
Die Please
Well tbh not many people in the comments section were.
I mean I go to an African school (like only 5 white kids) and it's the rest of the BLACK children / teens that touch others hair, heck even WAISTS.
And it's comment does say 'i hate when white people touch my hair'
Please don't take it as an insult, the person is talking about their experience that I assure you THOUSANDS (even me) have been through. Thank you and sorry :3
Tarinabo Daukoru k
Dakota Storm me too
I'm a 16 year old black boy and people always tell me that my shoulder blades length curly hair is fake. Like shit no its not. And then they'll touch all over my hair to see if I'm lying, and then dismiss me as a whole when they find its real. It really pisses me off.
?? wtf why would you ask that
***** u
All black people have curly hair, tf. that's why they have an Afro, because there hair curls up.
Yeah, I agree.
ItsLit2016 MSP I hated that shit lol
that's funny 😂 now how would they like it if someone black said "All white people got lice" 😂😂😂 lol talking about "It's dirty" 💀 shoot u got lice 🤣
Try again
Random Girl bitch ik 💀 dumbass i was saying since white ppl think our hair dirty we can say they got lice ... read between the lines 💀 if they something rude we can 2
Blacks get lice to
Factssss....EXACTLY
Worp Not if they have type 4 hair. But they can if they have a looser hair type. For example when we were kids I slept in the same bed as my brother who had lice (I didn't know) and he had type 3c hair and I didn't get lice because I have 4c.
I went to school with my huge puff and girls were like it’s weave and I said NO they literally had to put there hands in my hair to feel my scalp I hated that!
My hair to long and curly brown for a puff
ew i'm so sorry that happened
WTF????? OOOOOH HELL NO!!! couldnt have been my sister/ cousin/ friend/ or gf.... hell no! errbody gotta get they ass beat!
If they put their hands I'm my hair without my consent I would smacked their hands, I hate when ppl be touching my hair like idk where you've been.
please don’t let them ever in life touch your hair, your hair is sacred boo 💗
My supervisor asked me if black hair breaks off when it grows so that's why it can't grow longer..... I had to stop myself from saying something smart or I would've gotten fired that day 😒
Simone Rochelle stay strong sister ✊
Sounds like your supervisor is a jealous ass bitch.
She's not wrong. African hair is more brittle than European and Asian hair. That's why it appears that African hair grows shorter than other hair types despite growing at the same rate. Because your hair is more brittle and therefore more vulnerable to breakage.
Simone Rochelle I would have been pissed if someone said that to me
sio19 its probably to protect our heads from the sun since thin hair isn't as protective compared to thick hair
It so sad that we even have to explain this to people
Yeah. Unfortunately, there are a lot of ignorant, self entitled, and racist people out there.
Ppl are not born with background knowledge about natural black hair. If you don't want to explain it to them, then don't get mad when they appear "ignorant." This is not an excuse for being rude but you can expect ppl to know things the are not taught.
exactly
Ashley C. Yes, people aren't born with a background knowledge of natural black hair. But that doesn't give them the right to invade personal boundaries and privacy all because they're so curious. Add along the racial element, and it's recipe for disaster. When you don't respect that person's personal boundaries, don't ask and engage in the topic of hair differences, and don't be mindful of their feelings, of course they're going to get mad at the ignorant comments. Nothing wrong with being curious. But there is something highly wrong with being invasive, insensitive, and racist.
You actually don't have to explain anything to anyone lol
I'm white and would never say something so rude about someone's hair, it is part of who they are. And it in no way hinders them at work or anyone else. I am aware of how a black person's hair is cared for and the different hairstyles are something natural to them as different hairstyles are natural to everyone. It's no different from anyone else doing their hair (except a bit more work goes into it for some people). I like watching videos of different forms of care and styles of black people's hair. I don't know why I just do. My favorite hairstyle is the Afro because it reminds me of trees blooming in Spring which reminds me of Gaia the goddess of nature. Gaia is the ancestral mother of all life, which reminds me that all life started in Africa. My sister says I'm weird for thinking that, but that is just how my mind works.
lunarcorpse ... the Afro compared to a tree 🌳 is a great comparison because our hair grows towards the sun and defies gravity too. We have very unique and special hair that is linked to earth. Thank you for comment 🙏🏾
Everyone is from this earth. Ashes to ashes dust to dust. We all die the same. The important thing is to be in God’s memory to be resurrected. Only the meek will inherit this earth. Matthew 5:5
@@arielsea9087 Ok?O.o What does this have to do with my post?
@@arielsea9087 Ok, now it makes sense.
Hey you guys it's just our hair is so curl that the curls are so tight and to the naked eye it looks like an afro but if you look at the hair strand closely you'll see different curl pattern and our hair as blacks is kinky coil curly the best way I can explain our curl is do you remember lark Voorhees aka (Lisa turtle) from saved by the bell well that's is afro hair once it's detangle and the curls are defined. but remember every afro black person have a different curl pattern.
I've gone through all of these scenarios and I'm only 12
I'm African american
NevaehTalks2u 34 Same
Same
Same except I’m turning 12 in August 21
Same here sis 😔
Same but I’m one year younger
A girl in my class who had perfectly straight hair said she wants my hair tie because she needs more then i do i just walked away.
ikr it makes me so bad like you have thinner hair than me but you need it more? just get the fuck out of my face
xoCelestexo * you yelled at her??? Why?
xoCelestexo * You probably shouldn't have yelled because now she didn't learn anything. But I respect that you proudly opposed
xoCelestexo * does this ever happen to you when a person with straight har ask to borrow a hair tie. Then complain about how stretched out it is ?
Steve Tualaulelei yes all the time when I take my time about to be late to class to take it out my hair and then they don't want it like bish what
it's funny cause I'm in college and this white girl I'm my class asked me if my hair was a weave I said no then I asked her was her hair a weave and lol she looked me funny like I shouldn't have asked her that question and let me remind you people my hair is mid back length smdh😟
She sounded like she's was trying to start something
Mine too. Both teacher's and students ask me if it's weave or if it has in highlights(my hair is dark brown with lighter streaks). It mostly comes from my own race.
Because that she-dumby doesn't understand that black girls can grow long hair
Maybe she was just ACTUALLY curious, there is nothing wrong with the question.
+Genaral Yuki her question was okay but the fact that she looked at her funny after she asked the same thing was totally wrong
Someone please send this to onision😂
OMG IM DEADDDD
For real you'd think that big head of his would let common sense seep through
I love how she said our hair is styled and that when some people see our hair in a curly fro etc they see it as not done because our hair is different from there hair texture and type, this is SOOOOOOOO TRUE! 😍😍😍
So many of the comments here are absolutely horrifying. I am truly disgusted. It's so disheartening to see so much blatant racism. Calling black women ugly? Calling our hair dirty, "hopeless" or "animal hair with lice"? Really? Comments like those make me lose faith in humanity every time I encounter them. It's so disappointing.
Erin Morticia where they at though
If you have faith in humanity then it is sadly misplaced.
Literally half of the guys at my school said they would NEVER date a black woman. And that honestly made me feel so disgusted.
You can't make someone like you. Hang with the other 50 percent who don't have a problem with us.
Ladee Neenah of course not. It was just the way they said it made me kind of sick. They acted as if people of color were diseased and repulsive.
People ask me if I take my hair out and wash it every night when I have braids😦
incoming j I once had to get a lice inspection and one woman said"Why didnt you take out HER braids? You took out my daughters."
Got me like...fool
incoming j omg me too
Same lol
They mean take the hair out of the braids.
HAHHA WTF THEY ARE FOOLS OML
I’m Caucasian and I always admired the way African Americans hair grew naturally, I think it makes them look impressive and disciplined in a way white people will never come close to replicating, I have know this type of hair based racial stereotyping is an issue for a long time, but I still can’t understand why, it makes no sense to me, but I realize I can’t truly see things through anyone’s eyes but my own, so maybe there’s a reason behind it that I just don’t realize, but honestly I think it’s just people being idiots.
ThatKat KrazyKid thanks
I LIKE THAT YOU USED THE TERM CAUCASIAN.
White people are jealous that they don’t have the hairstyles we have so they use it to their advantage and make it like it isn’t normal .
@@PhantomViper49 Not all of us, maybe you didn't mean all of us but i am not jealous of black people's hairstyles, I know your hair isn't dirty and I know you guys take good care of it, I dig your hairstyles but that doesn't mean I'm jealous, sorry if it sounded like i was arguing or pissed off.
@@moisttowlette1247 it's totally fine the way i worded it is my fault . I didn't mean all white people just racist white people if that makes any sense .
“Why do you have so big hair?”
it’s called Afro.
Woo Chile, I've gotten this before too
I hate it when people think my hair is a weave
Amen Abdissa it’s called jealousy
Right for me too
When they say that, you should ask if they're wearing extensions.
Amen Abdissa ikr
Gogeta101savage Naruto trust me no one is jealous of black nappy hair
omg everything that this video has said is so true , I wore an afro to the first day of ninth grade ,and a the girl sitting next to me wouldn't stop staring at me maybe because she's never seen some one wear an afro or because it was so large and curly and then without even introducing her self she says "hey is that weave? " I was so shocked and offended . and then she starts to touch my hair and says "hey can I touch it?" . Might I say I had an extremely long talk with her about black natural hair and how it was really rude to ask some one "is that weave?" when you don't even know them. But she turned out to be a really nice person ,and now were friends,so I guess this was a "win win" situation because I got to educate some one about our hair while also making a friend.😊
Im my school most of the black girls either have weaves or its out and a short short afro becayse theyre about to get it redone. im onw of the only girls who actually keeps her natural hair and Its obvious when its real hair. Truely the only way its off is when your hair curls up too much and it just looks bad
That's a great story. I hope your friend knows better now. :-)
True , and its hurts when you comb it so I only comb it out like once a week with olive oil and water
Yeah she's great
Alesia Adams That's awesome. :-D
When I straighten my hair this boy said to me at school, "Nice weave," that shit hurted.
Smh, people really can be nasty for real.
Someone: can I touch your hair?
Me: Uh.. *touches own hair and has tons of grease on it*
Me: no.
To all those white people saying "i dont think this about black hair" just remember, just because you dont think this about black hair, doesn't mean that other people dont. (at my old school, people made fun of my hair all the time)
Also this video should apply to all people without african/ african american hair types, not just "white people"
Exactly!
nobody ! I just don't like the title "this that white people think" it should be "things some white people think" as not all of us are like that
Sophia Monperrus the word "some" honestly doesn't make that much of a difference as matter of fact white people want to use the word some to separate themselves from the issue.
ReD BLaZe you're so edgy 😒
ReD BLaZe please stop using that word, do you even know the meaning of it and how it was used for slavery.You better hide before my family come and beat your ass.You rasict piece of shit.
"I want to touch ehhhtt"- that voice tho 😂
Lisa Lisa
Lol its so familiar. ..
So haunting....
XD
actually getting flashbacks just from hearing that voice tbh
Ichigo lol me too....when they’re faces light up when they see you...and you know for the fact that after they say your hair looks awesome...then they’ll hit you with the “can I touch ittttttt”😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'm a white gut and my partner is Black. She has helped me understand and appreciate Black hair, culture, etc. so much. I love running my fingers through her locs!
In my school everyone loves black, real curly hair and they are almost admired in my school! I love how poofy their hair is! Love who you are no matter what! If you don’t love yourself, who else will?
they say our hair looks dirty and has bugs in it.....when they are the ones with the lice and ticks infestations .......okay that's logical.
StrawberryCreamPocky Exfuckingactly.
StrawberryCreamPocky ticks? No. Lice? Yes. Why? Cause our hair is natural and straight, and lice like to live in these things,it would be very hard to live in a black persons hair,as it is very curly and sponge-like.
Lice don't live in our hair because it's dirty, they live in because of the environment it provides, and it is just right for lice to live in.
Checkmate idiot.
If that makes you feel better lil fazeboy.
lil fazeboy so are you boasting how much lice likes your hair?? 🥀🥀😂
lil fazeboy awww yaaa mad 🤣??
wow.you know what's interesting? i went on an interview a few years ago and a white woman doing the interview emphasised that the company was culturally sensitive. she told me next time you come in...you come as you are. she didnt like that i gelled my hair to slick it down.
That's great! I hope more companies take this position.
+Janice Celeste thanks. i had a second interview with my hair freshly washed and conditioned. got the job. loved that place.
Still doesn't make it right though. U should be able to wear your hair however you like and get the job if you're qualified (hair slicked back with gel can hardly be considered a distraction or unprofessional). And gel is a household hair staple for many men and women regardless of ethnicity or hair texture. Would she have said the same thing if you were wearing braids? Either way, culturally sensitive or not, discrimination is discrimination but I am glad that you got the job. Kudos!
+rhoyal6 thanks.
+Stephanie Fulcher Wow! That's great. That sounds like a breath of fresh air. Glad you got the job.👍🏿
If my hair looks so nasty come catch these hands👌🏾
😂😂😂😂 omg this comment
I DO NOT want ANYONE putting their hands in my hair. I’m not an animal or some exotic creature on display. I am a human being. DO NOT TOUCH MY HAIR.
I have heard more of this from my own black peers than white people.
It's sad but true. I've heard a few of these from Black folks as well, BUT what I have never seen is a situation where a Black peer has threaten someone's job if they didn't conform and straighten their hair or throw a student out of school for it. Thus we must educate in order to create change. Even when we get tired of doing so.
Exactly.
many white people think it but may not tell you, black people just feel more comfortable saying shit to you
true. I alot of black girl ask me "is that your real hair?" I really hate that >.
It's a shame really. Their natural hair would actually surprise them, if they learned to care for it properly. Relaxers actually made my hair courser and dry than when it was natural.
I like natural black women's hair. I hate that you guys hear these things :(
Lily Addams bless your soul
Lily Addams I agree
Awww thanks.
Lily Addams thx for caring
Lily Addams ... Thanks ☺☺☺
I thought that a blowout would make me look more professional. When I told my black manager this, he got so angry and told me if anyone ever says anything about my curly fro to let him know. I looked at my hair differently from that point on. I still blow dry it but once in a blue moon. It takes forever and is hard to maintain.
I love this comment!!
At school I have like 3 or 5 ppl touching my hair at the same time, they’d say it’s like u have a pillow or its sooo fluffy.😒🙄
yikes, this kinda pisses me off because people who think this stuff are actually out there. i find it stupid that black women cant get most jobs with natural hair?? like??? its hair. nothing is wrong with it. its super pretty and people should just keep their mouths shut. being white, i dont know whats its like to go through this daily. i dont have pin straight hair, its more wavy and tangled up. but you guys shouldnt have to relax your hair just for a job. people need to accept that thats how you were born 💜
b h 💕
Thank you girl
kaylynn thanks so much it’s about time someone has said it
kaylynn they don’t need to wear it down the don’t hire because most of the time it doesn’t look professional
God bless you
You probably wouldn't fire anyone or kick them out of school for wearing their natural hair either. But it's happening too often.
this was a great video. And yeah, sad that this happens.
Great video. I pray that this will educate people about black hair and stop the stereotypes.
omg! So true
I love this omg so true
i no right
“It might have bugs in it” 😂😂😂 Please tell me y’all don’t really think this about us. 🤣
When I was 4 some lady went up to my mom and said is your daughters hair permed...? Yeah because someone just wants to perm there 4 years old hair
And last week someone was like "is that naturalllll?" I'm always tempted to ask "is your hair naturally straight like that like OMG HOW DO YOU HAVE SUCH THIN STRAIGHT HAIR CAI LEARN YOUR SECRETS...🙄
LOGANG4LIFE BE A MAVERICK
That might've been 1/3 legit. I, sadly, know a few people that perm little girls' hair at 4 yo.
Its really easy to get long straight hair wash it and don’t cut it to often
The way how she said "I want to touch it"😂
Jenelle Schaff ikr
@@lhml1238 what?
Me to
I’m a white woman that grew up in a community of color.. I was always asked by friends if they could touch my hair or braid it. I think it stems from the fact that humans are curious about what is different.. it’s not racist.
I'm going to clear something up that I've seen in the comments. I'm noticing a lot of "I'm white and I don't do this" comments. I am also white and don't do this, but I recognize the importance of the video. See, denying that it happens doesn't solve the problem. You can't just let racism off with a free pass because pointing it out makes you feel bad. By watching, understanding, and appreciating the content of this video you'll be more likely to see these actions when they appear and more likely to try and stop them. You'll also pay closer attention to what you say and do.
Thank you so much for understanding and getting it. Thank you.
Isobelle Faulkner there is a comment made by the channel explaining why they chose that specific title
Isobelle Faulkner No response this time. Seems they're the only ones who get to complain.
Cheyenne Dewey Thank you
Isobelle Faulkner They are minorities as well
Don't touch anyone's hair!:)
Lmaooo y is the white character staring at her hair so angrily 🤣🤣🤣
It's so fluffy 😑 I hate when people say that to me
DinahhxMsp
Well... it is fluffy, there is nothing wrong with saying that when it's true, there Is nothing wrong with fluffy/poofy hair .
DinahhxMsp Why? That's a compliment. You shouldn't take everything so seriously. Your hair is unique and when people say stuff like that, you can't be so negative about it. They could've done so much worse and you're gonna be mad at them for that? What for?
I don't lol
This obsession with us has to end dam......
DinahhxMsp FOR REAL, my friends would always say that to me in middle school... so annoying
The kinda funny thing is... Most white people I meet like my hair, like this white guy I dated once, he loved it. Sadly a lot of black people are the ones that put it down. Not all just some. Though I can't speak from experiencing corporate America.
I agree.
Yep!
This is true!. I work in a white collar establishment for one of the Big Three, but it's a very diverse corporation. I find the non-blacks that don't like my hair or have something bad to say about it, wouldn't say it to my face and if my big boss did.. I honestly wouldn't know what to do or how to feel.
Raven Cloud
So in your case non-blacks do not like your hair, because it's opposite for us.
+49jubilee. I got bullied all my life from African American women for my hair. I tried not to resent them for it. However it has changed my confidence and interactions with them. I have never gotten hate for my hair from other ethnicities. which is unfortunate in it's own way.
I’ve never once thought any of this... I’ve just always wanted their unique hair and I don’t think I’ve gone a day without complimenting their hair. It’s so cute and poofy I love it!💓
Weirdo
People at my school: starts touching my hair without asking. Is that your real hair? Do you have a wig on.
I'm black and this happens to me all the time
kamya brooks same here I'm biracial. my hair is super kinky
same
dono Taylor im multiracial and my hair came out straight and curls when it grows out
@From a Bicycle seat yes 🙄🙄🙄🤡🤡🤡
Same
When I stopped relaxing my hair, this white girl at my job thought that I processed my hair to look kinky. She didn't understand that it grew out of my scalp like that. Then wanted to touch it. If you are aware of how black hair works, kudos to you, but this video was created to educate those who don't. Not everyone is exposed and this could help. If you already know, It doesn't apply to you so stop the first grade comments about it being racist.
I think the video should be retitled, “What Black Women Think White Women Think about Black Hair” Guys could care less about so much energy on such a trivial topic.
Exactly. I'm a woman and I'll never understand the energy that is put into this bs. Like who cares? I've got more important shit to use my energy & attention towards. Must have been a really insecure woman who made this video cuz one with self esteem and self worth wouldn't have wasted their time with something so trivial nor would they care what someone might be thinking. 😂
Why does this look like a “wild kratts” animation???😳🤣
I hate the term black hair.🙄 There's people in Somalia with type 2 wavy hair. Then there's people in Ghana with kinky type 4 hair. I've even seen a lil boy with straight blonde hair. Black people can have it all.😍
it's a generalization, which means it's GENERALLY true. IN GENERAL.
You can't redefine a term with exceptions
That is so true
We can even put our hair in a perfect natural bun
Ashley yep y'all are so great at everything, glad y'all sailed around the world before any other race
This is a great video, I'm sorry an entire race has to explain their hair to people.
Foxes And tea Clorox is kinda right that people don't care. They know.
They don't want to care, if it's not like theirs and you aren't willing to do unnecessary shit to fit in then as far as they're concerned, you complain too much and want the world to change for you...
Weird huh?
I'm white and i literly never thought or said these things to a black womans hair.
Ik right these people trippinggggg it’s not about your race it’s just about where you grow around, like if you don’t grow up near black people you may be more ignorant about this stuff but I live in a very diverse area Ik all about this shit
Good for you? Lol Just because YOU don't do this doesn't mean plenty of white people who do. A good majority of black people all across the states have literally been vocal about this happening to them personally for a very long time.
you want a cookie?
su wi chill lmao people some people are ignorant get over it some black peiple thought my hair never got tangled just Bc I’m white there’s people like that in race
@@okayy_roachee8101 do u know what's its like to be a black woman no, this is literally what we have to deal u may not say this but some people do so dont tell us to chill ect cause if you had be a black woman for a day u would know how it feels
Great video and all common questions we’re covered 😊
i love being black because our hair is the strongest and we dont need to wash it everyday like most people
actually it's not the strongest, the strongest hair belongs to Asian Indians...did this experiment this year and there is research to back this
charmaine jay What was the basis for the evaluation of strength in your research?
+Eromosare Aghomon In trichology lab, various subjects from different ethnic backgrounds submitted their hair sample (including my own), we looked at the hair structure microscopically . The hair strands were also subjected to different chemicals for a semester (almost 6 months)...more damage occurred in white, coloured and black hair...Asian descendants suffered less damage....I don't remember the other things that we assessed (undergrad), but it was concluded that Asians have stronger hair in general....ask me something chemistry or pharmaceutical 😂at least that's where I specialised.

Actually no matter even if ur white u shouldnt wash ur hair Everyday its bad for everyone even skin too
[]Xanalimarie[] nasty asss
MY DAD DOESN'T EVEN LET ME WEAR WEAVE😂
same
Yea
Tyra Le i could if I wanted to but I won’t because I look awesome without one already!
Tyra Le My mom doesn't care, but my dad wants my real hair to grow.😪😂😂
Honestly, if I had a daughter, I would do the same
"My hair is so thick " every white girl
Drxpy x Mask “white people can’t have curly hair” every black girl
@@balletpink2218 her comment is ignorant, but don’t be ignorant back because no black person has ever said that.
@@Anywayyihao I’ve been told that
@@giannamccord you guys must be children then because that sounds very unknowledgeable
@@balletpink2218 First off, black peeps didn’t say that, Second off, stop being pressed-
People at my school: straighten your
hair.
Me: ok
Them: it smells weird
Me: then wtf u want me to do... shave it😡
Ignore them. Their comments are irrelevant to you. Next time ask them to straighten it for you
They shouldn’t win be trying to smell your hair there weird for that
one day an elderly white woman came up to us (Im white and have 3 adopted children black, white, black) and started to 'pet' my daughter's hair. Now she didnt mind and was used to it but I thought that enough was enough and I picked up her younger brother and told him to 'pat' the nice lady's hair! We all laughed and I think she learned something. I know my daughter did!
Lol! Nice!
Thank u for doing that, lol I had a co worker ask to touch my hair I said yes but she did not touch it she pet me like a dog in front other co worker
Personally I don't think this is limited to white people, it's a bunch of races.
Nelly Richards you're right cause asians are racist as hell
Anthony Marshall dang dude I'm Asian I'm not even racist
gerards tøe I didn't say you were my statement is clearly a false generalization of you're race based on historical context of asians and blacks relationships, and how asians treated their own dark skin asians as poor. Not everyone but enough for me to notice
gerards tøe thanks you're part of the one percent
gerards tøe man shut the hell up stupid ass
brooo, all these things should be obvious by now, especially because if you cant know these for some reason from your personal life, its all over internet, yet some people stay ignorant, and natural hair is beautiful anyways! no matter the type. but i personally find type 4 hair really gorgeous
What I liked best was that you made your point in a calm and informative way. You could have scolded but you taught. I'm proud of people that don't lower themselves by acting the way other disrespectful, ignorant people do.
I don't think they understand how offensive that is! Even when they just want to touch it ask first. I hate when people touch my hair hell i hardly touch it. Please white people hell all people do not touch our hair it's disrespectful. 🙄
Latoya_the_ Natural we do not all do it, remember that.
Laurenline CM
Who said you did?
She's saying it to people who DO!
TheLazyBanana and that's what people don't understand!
Svetlana Anjuska ashamed of what my hair is beautiful this is what I've been threw because people want to touch my hair it's disrespectful point blank nice try though. ✋ bye
Latoya_the_ Natural been thew? ??
I actually had black people call my hair nappy bc I choose to have the hair on my hair match my DNA. My people are brainwashed beyond belief!!! Thanks HUFF!!
Love your natural hair girl! Represent!
+Successful Black Parenting I've been natural for 13 years. ..still going strong. ..
I bet you probably have some stories and can relate?
+Successful Black Parenting most definitely!
OMG tell me about it. The other day my aunt decided to greet me by shouting "Hey Nappy", while she was traipsing around in a wig. 😑😒 Thank God I'm a peaceful person
I'm white, and I think it's absurd that this isn’t common knowledge.
What a nice way to explain and educate about black women's natural hair. I learned a lot, and have more appreciation for your beauty
Same thing for black men
the things my son said people commented about his hair. they ask why does he brush it if it's so low. they think their hair won't grow long. he's considered too black if he doesn't look mixed with curly hair. he's in college now. I twisted it for the first time for him. love it
Not All white pepole have white hair. Infact most dont
@@supokanatm3435 wtf is white hair
@@toohazey white hair is white hair
@@supokanatm3435 yeh as i thought no explanation
This video was created to fight racism against Black hair. You can't call something racist when it's fighting racism, just because you don't like the word, "White."
You're right but the title is only specifying white people. I'm sure as a black woman with (I assume) natural hair you've heard these some of these same stereotypes from black people. Like for example being called "Nappy headed" and told to straighten.
Yes you can. There are also asian, hispanics etc. But you only say white people.
+Star Friend White people are the main ones making comments
Right. But so far, it has only been White people who have threatened to fire people from their jobs or kick them out of school for their hair.
I recommend her changing the title to avoid racial tensions. Remember when people criticise certain hair types it's typically because they don't fully understand.
I have black friends and I love their hair! It’s so unique
"Whats that white stuff in your hair?" Um.. its called moisture.
Every time at school people touch up my hair like
BITCH ITS MY PROPETY
MY BODY
MY HAIR
SO U HAVE NO REASON TO TOUCH IT
🤣
This video needs to be shown at every workplace
I feel so blessed to have a manager than compliments the beads and the knots and the twists and the braids. Hearing these stories.. its just so discouraging. I am so sorry to all of you experiencing this.
One time, my teacher saw how short my hair was and asked to touch it. MY FUCKING TEACHER! Half of the girls got up and started doing the same. And boi was it annoying af. I wanted to cry.
"It's unprofessional" I hate that so much because I went to an interview with my hair natural and I got it on the spot. Plus at my current job I always get offered jobs because of my great customer service, appearance doesn't matter, it's all about how well you do your job.
Congratulations on getting the job with your natural hair. And yes, all that matters is how well you do your job.
Actually it does.
There are statistics of whites with criminal records getting the same jobs blacks with college degrees don't.
Sorry for spoiling the mood
@@TheTheThe_ Well That's no her fault, but the racist system's fault.
I actually don't mind when people gently touch my hair. It kinda makes me feel proud as long as they are doing it out of genuine curiosity.
yeah like a puppy dog lol 😂😂😂
+Taj Mahal No, like an irrisistible African princess 👑 idk I guess its just me
+Keke Lauren no like a irresistible Hebrew Goddess!
I don't mind the touching either. It's when they don't ask and just stuff their hair in my fro without making sure I'm okay with it that bugs me.
Really? I think that's rude!
One of my classmates always laughs at me for my afros
WTF that's bullying .I wish I was your friend so I can beat the shit outta them
@@Stella-wn3xw Agh it frustrates me this is happening to you .Your teachers honestly need to do better . This is legit their response to bullying ? what baffles me is your parents are Agreeing to this ? Theirs a bigger issue
I wanted to get one of those hair kit gift bags for my friend but I had no clear idea what I was suppose to buy her ( I wasnt sure how much stuff actually went into hair care for a women of color) and learned that the care and treatment that goes into washing and styling is VERY different from my own routine. And I have to give those women and men credit for what its worth cause I really dont know how I would be able to keep up. But Im glade Im learning about it cause I had so many questions as a kid to ask about black hair but was to shy to ask.
why are white people so offended
Best Instagram Hits ! why are black people so offended
Marti Boopideebopidee Just stop.
Clorox Bleach then why'd you watch this video?😂
Laura Babtists 😂😂😂😂😂
Best Instagram Hits ! Maybe its because they are claiming every white person thinks this about black hair
I've had more black girls and a few mixed ones ask me about my hair than white people. I had a mixed girl stick her hands directly in my puff one day. I didn't see it coming. She just did it. I tried so hard not to curse her out. PS: Why do the black women cartoons look so angry?
one day i was in the office and i hearrd a young lady say certain people dont wash, there hair, it is pass tuff, a bunch of crap we all told her to shut she sound dump as paper rocks
+Pamela Taylor They just don't know.
Being honest as well, I've had more black women tell me it looks unkept, I'm never going to get a job, it looks like you didn't style it, what you gonna do about those naps and more other races amazed when I come to work with my flat twists, totally amazed on who long it's getting since I cut it.
The only black people who like my naps are black men and other natural ladies...kind of weird that they paint it like only white people hate it or something. Out of all the styles I've had my hair in, my boyfriend (who's white) loves when I leave my hair in an afro lol
they are being DISCRIMINATED against I'd be mad to
I don't think or care how other people wear their hair. Never have and never will.
I have experienced all of this. Yes when I'm natural everyone wants to touch it. I went to my girlfriend's bridal shower I was throwing her and her friends and family some were black and they were all asking to touch my hair and wow how soft it looks and feels I felt like I was an exhibition that everyone's at the Museum looking and wanting to touch. I felt like I was on display. This has been my everyday life from work, schoo,l and just anywhere I'm at with natural hair. I have totally been asked to keep it straightened it's more acceptable or it makes them basically feel more relaxed.
