Annette is BOMB!!! I've had my locs for 11 years and salon is the only place that has touched my locs. Annette is quick and does great work. I also love support business owned by black women.
+athickgirl'scloset Thanks for sharing!! We think she's a genius as well!
A Thick Girl's Closet I
I'm telling u hair is how black women bond
Rod Williams yes and it is a beautiful thing
Rod Williams other races don't understand how important hair is to us
@a ko first of all congrats on having a strong connection with hair in your community👏🏾👏🏾. Second of all, no one was talking about native Americans we were talking about black people so your comment is not needed. No one asked about you.
@@BlackGirlLovesAnime6 lolz😂😂
BlackGirlLovesAnime6 its a comment section for people to comment so they can comment if they want and they didn’t ask for your comment back did they?
I want faux locs so badly!
Also, the fact that her name is Sojourner is dope to me for some reason
I really don't like the idea of fashion locs. I think the fact that the US Supreme Court found that it was not illegal for an employer to tell a Black women that she had to get rid of her 100% natural locs or be fired because they weren't considered an "immutable racial characteristic" even though she would have to shave her head to get rid of them shows that people getting locks they can remove adds to the perception that locs is a fashion hairstyle and not a way of life for some people, especially Rastafarians for which the hairstyle is a religious dedication and commitment.
But not everyone wants permanent locs and like the way it looks. Lots of hairstyles can be removed--even real locs can be combed out with lots of patience. That doesn't necessarily make it solely for a fashion statement. There are many people with real locs who are not wearing them for religious/Rastafarian reasons, rather that's how they like their hair.
Know i do im more proud to be black
@@jaem.1565 ...whats your point?
Look up Sojourner Truth
I love that she couldn't stop smiling after her hair was done in the end of the video, she's just glowing and radiant
+annadupont Aww!! :)
i felt so sad when she was done doing her hair. This video felt so comfortable i dont know how to explain it....
ikr “ASMR but not quite” is how I would describe it…
Love that Refinery has really stepped up the diversity game with their videos! 👍🏾
+jaznellow Thanks for noticing!
Jaznellow 😂 can’t we just see them as people
Kynslie Burke how are they not seeing them as people? Like the videos are cool but it’s repetitive and annoying to not see anything you can relate to.
@@kynslieb1306 No kidding! 🙄 The day human beings S T O P seeing skin color and other things is the day we can all come together. I am so damn tired of it. 😔
@@taajhareyes9072 So you can't see a white person as people and relate to them? People have no differences, only similarities they can bond over. Sigh.
holy crap their hands and fingers move so quickly. omg...... what a work of labor and love. :)
The fact that some people are still treating these styles as 'unprofessional' upsets me so much. She looks gorgeous and I love it!
*cries in straight white hair bc im jealous, it's so pretty 😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️*
What's the difference between Nemo and Loki? Nemo's father went looking for him. Your name is awesome lol
appropriation of culture much?
Emma Blain more like cultural appreciation because she’s complimenting it, but go off sis 🤷🏽♀️
Emma Blain what part of that is cultural appropriation
@@pine-sol2526 You'll understand th-cam.com/video/Z0PmPyKjVAQ/w-d-xo.html
Can confirm about cosmetology school. I went to school in Milwaukee, and actually dropped out of the school when the instructor and I started butting heads when I'd keep asking "well how would this differ for curly and afro hair?" She finally flat out said that we wouldn't be learning about any type of curly or afro hair at that school. For being in the middle of Milwaukee, you'd think they'd at least understand that the local clientele is majority nonwhite. Thankfully I worked at Sally Beauty over on Good Hope and learned a lot from clients, as well as from the other girls in the group home I was in as a teen. For a career in hair to actively not teach about major types of hair, it's sad as hell. I don't have afro hair, but I do have a strong curl pattern, thanks to being Puerto Rican, and even then, nothing about even looser curl patterns was taught. That same instructor actually got into an argument with me because she said my hair wasn't curly (had been flatironed) and then had to eat her words when we got to the shampoo unit and she saw it dry curly. It's ridiculous is what it is.
Okay tell me why we're both named Andi and had the exact same beauty school experience down to the flat ironed hair thing 😂😂
She literally suits every hairstyle shown and looks like a goddess!
Hands down my favorite Hair Me Out episode I’ve seen so far. And not just because her locs turned out amazing. The bond/ connection I felt while watching this was 👌🏾✨
Refinery29 really respects black women's hair... appreciated 😊😊😊
How? all they did was made a video of someone getting their hair done
respect to the woman who take so much time getting their hair done for hours!! so beautiful
Seeing woman coming together like this just bring tears of happiness in my eyes. ❤️❤️❤️
I love this video for so many reasons- theres just so much that resonated with me. I've wanted to try faux locs and kept stopping myself since i work in corporate America. I also have such a similar hair journey as Sojourner as far as getting perms, regretting it etc. BUT when she said she was Howard alum I literally screamed lol I went to Howard and it changed my life not only academically, but also my outlook on what is beautiful. Sojourner looked gorgeous at the end of the video, and it gave me the courage to try faux locs as well.
Thanks for this great content Refinery 29! Its truly appreciated.
+noelharris That is amazing!! Thank you so much for sharing! It made our day! More videos like this to come!
Noel Harris you’re so pretty ❤️
THIS IS A LEWK YASSS MY EDGES ARE DEFINITELY SNATCHED!!! I LOVE THIS LOOK SO MUCH
+arianacarter #issalewk
What does the first sentence here mean?
IrishAisling it just means this hairstyle makes me really happy
Ariana Carter wow thank you! It doesn’t read like that at all from my perspective
It was looking great and then they put in the gold jewelry AND WOW BAM 💙 Looks lovely =)
Emily Denny love your hair color😍
The transformation was not that dramatic, but you look beautiful with them. On the note of your stylist's mom, and how she viewed locs as the mark of rebels: I have crochet locs, and they have been in my head for almost 3 months. The longer I go with them, the frizzier and dread-like they get, and I love it. But my grandmother does not like them and says they bring me down. How I look like someone from Africa (We're black, our ancestry is FROM AFRICA, so I don't get that statement) And that I look unkept and 'wild.' She even made a statement saying that if they would have worn their hair like we do today, back in the 50's and 60's, they would have been told that they were gross, unhygienic, didn't take any time to make themselves presentable before leaving their house. And these statements hurt a little. Because I like them, a lot, and what if this was actually my hair? And is this how she sees others with braids and locs? As wild, unhygienic and ghetto? I would love to educate her, but she's in her 70's, and I doubt that she would hear me. It's funny what was considered a negative 50 years ago, is now celebrated and embraced.
That must hurt. For your grandma information, africans have the same prejudices against natural hair and locs too, black people worldwide have been brainwashed but its cool that it's changing ( too slowly but still).
I totally understand. Im from The South - Live in Texas and I live in a town with a large population of african americans. I was always obsessed with locs when I would see them on TV but my mom would never let me get them. Here the standard was straight hair, braids or a fade. After printing out pictures on the internet of nice looking dreadlocks and my mom seeing a woman with beautiful locs at Mcdonalds, she let me get them. I went to a majority black highschool and was one of 2 with locs- the other being a light skinned girl. I was made fun of and ostricized until my locs started looking really nice and mature. Thanfully today that stigma is gone and natural hair is everywhere. I do get a lot of questions and sometimes really weird questions from white people. I Think we will start to see black women opting for locs more as the movement progresses. I have combed out and restarted my locs many times. Ive had other long haired natural hairstyles but nothing beats the convenience and versatility of my locs.
you shouldn't be offended by what your grand mothrr says because she grew up in a time when blacks were oppresed and felt the need to fit in. That was her way of life and it's hard for her to accept things that are diffrent from how she was raised and that is understandable. However, i do believe that it is our duty as melenials to stamp out all that was forced upon us and ensure our children understand that we are beautiful just the way we are.
While you may not understand her reasoning, you should still respect your grandmother and her opinions. She is your family and your elder. Criticizing her on a public platform where thousands can see is very unkind to her. I'm sure she's done a lot of things for you, made sacrifices for you, and loves you very much. Talk to her about your differences, and respect that they are different. Don't blast her out on TH-cam. That is unjustified. Also, don't be too quick to think that YOU need to educate her. She's been on earth far longer than you, and has gone through and experienced so much more. When you're older, you see things more than young people do.
Viciouz Valentine Oh yeah, Texas in the house! Lol. I'm from Houston and I totally get what you are saying. There's a standard. There's a locitician (I think that's how you spell it) named Damian Walters, he's based in Houston, and he does phenomenal work. He has videos on TH-cam. If I ever decided to loc my hair for good, that's who I'm going to.
omg she's BEAUTIFUL
african american hair truly is so beautiful and culturally rich !!,, and although it looks so naturally effortless & beautiful the work that goes into maintaining it and keeping it healthy is crazyy,, i wholeheartedly admire everyone that takes the time to truly care for themselves and their hair and the meaning behind it. it truly is black girl magic 🥺🤩
I went to a mainly white school, I am part of the majority. There was a few girls that I knew who had beautiful locks who were POC!! I used to admire them and wish I could do that with my hair too! It is such a pretty, creative, style and I hope acceptance continues to grow.
+livelaughforta That's lovely! We hope the same!
What does POC mean?
IrishAisling
People Of Color
livelaughForte thanks
IrishAisling 🤦🏽♀️
Yasss turned out so beautiful!!! Thanks for showing black excellence!!
+naturallybigbritt Thanks for checking this out!!
Naturally BigBritt I am a Greek white woman with afro hair. I can relate to black women when they discuss the "hair situation" I have tried everything. Well maybe its time for the locs. I love them on the older lady in the video.
PURE BEAUTY
I'm super glad I took on doing cornrows and ethnic hair when I was in beauty school because now when people ask my salon if anyone specializes in ethnic hair, I can be that person for them. Every Cosmo should be able to do every hair type imo.
Annett is amazing! I got my hair retwisted and styled by her and another stylist today on their NappStar tour in Chicago. I love it so much.
Looks beautiful and great video :-)
"welcome to your face" cuuuuuute and so true. Love it, the result is truly goddess level!!!
I love your name - it shows your mother’s knowledge of classic strength and confidence in a woman.
Love all of the gold hair jewelry!!
Same!!
Faux locs and real locs are definitely different! This style looks good on her though
Sojourner, you look gorgeous! The stylists were such nice and personable people. Locs are wonderful!
Definitely something I would like to get in the future it’s so beautiful and they did a great job. My only disagreement is when she said that black women know how to do your hair unfortunately that’s not always true. Just because someone is black and they know how to do certain styles or have even have their own business doesn’t mean they all know what they’re doing and having that mentality is going to mess up a lot of people.
The second I saw the shot of her walking down the street I screamed "giiiiiirl" bc she just looked so confident and so fire and I'm about that
She looks absolutely beautiful!
This conversation is entertaining! I forgot it was just a video for some minutes!
She looks so young with the locs, I love this style
Yes Napstar!! I started my loc journey a year ago and it was the best decision ever. Go for it darling!
Woaw it fits her so good !
+taragruette Agreed!
Love it. I was thinking about getting faux locs and spoke to Annette for a consultation. She was so nice and amazing to speak. I decided not loc my hair. Just watching this has me thinking. I might just change my mind. 🙌🏿👌🏿
This is AMAZING! I wish I could braid that fast. I am going to say though, I know how to do black hair. If you can’t do EVERYONE’S hair, then you don’t know how to do hair. Period. I hope this changes in the industry with the quickness.
Brb crying rn because of all the support in the video!!!! Women supporting women!!!
Omg. She looks AMAZING with these!!!! Wow. I think she’s stunning. Really dresses her up.
I love this, the comment about Not learning how to deal with their hair has changed now and that makes me so happy, I went to cosmetology school for a semester and they talked about how we would learn a lot and about the history of all the braids and more, and how to deal with different types of hair and I just love that we get to learn all these things I love curly hair and the texture is just so beautiful and I will never understand why someone would like to have boring straight or curling-ironed hair over this. Beautiful, looks amazing and I hope you're still loving yourself and your hair to this day!
I love this so much! I love Sojourner, she's spitting facts! #goddess
I LOVE natural hair videos
WHEN THEY PUT THE GOLD IN UGH SO GORGEOUS
Sojourner did a GREAT JOB pretending it wasn’t cold out for her shots! 😂 everyone was walking by with winter coats on, meanwhile she’s sleeveless 😂.
They worked FAST!!! I liked her locs and the jewelry. Shoutout to all the #HBCUs ✊🏽 #ilovemyHBCU #FiskForever
This process made me emotional, I’m so happy for her ☀️💚💚💚💚
Nothing like seeing women build each other up! Instant confidence boost
The speed in those hands just amazes me! My college roommate was from Zambia and she did hair like this. There were always giggling women and hair everywhere, I loved it and yet would scream every time I grabbed the doorknob covered in hair goo. “MUBIANNA!!!” I can still hear the scream and laughs!😂
My Mom jamaican but i was raised In Germany. My mom did braids on my hair. I loved it as a child. I chopped my Curls off last year. Now i'll let that hair grow again.
Pastel medusa vibes from the one stylist! Locs of all types are just so beautiful on everyone! 😭💖
Sojourner... Her skin, smile, teeth, cheekbones 😍😍💞 EVERYTHANG!!!
Scarlett has the most beautiful natural glow, wow, she is GORGEOUS 😍
This is beautiful and I can so relate. I am on a journey of loving my hair and the way it looks, and be able to focus on the rest of my life. I don't want to be so preoccupied in figuring out what hairstyle works for me to where it becomes all consuming. The relationship we have our hair is complex and I'm glad we are coming to some resolve with it. It matters.
Omg I been on the fence about faux locs b/c I never wanted 2 disrespect the rastas but idk child...that's a real cute protective style 4 the summer. Super cute on u ma!
I liked how comfy they seemed with each other. Sometimes when I watch these videos the hair salonists and the person they’re working on seem kind of awkward and my social anxiety flares up. There was this warmth with the three of them and I was so relieved that I could just watch it and relax 😂
Edit: just finished the vid and she looks FANTASTIC
I LOVE IT, she looks stunning. That jewellery looks so nice against her hair it stands out!
+sofielarkin Agreed!!
It has been determined, I am officially getting faux locs this summer. Thank you for this video 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
YES! Such a powerful piece, beyond hair....Loving on each others Beauty!!! Black Women, Sisters... I love you so much!!!
I would absolutely love to get locs! This is the year I’ve finally learned to be comfortable in my own skin and love and own my blackness. I’ve been trying different braided styles and love it, unfortunately my mom is very against using fake hair so I can’t get any box braids, she’s even more against locs as she thinks they look messy and “gangster” and it’s a big frowned upon in my country to use fake hair and just the stigma in general. But I hope when I get older and move out on my own I can try new things and embrace
Loved, loved, loved THIS video!
I actually love watching this hair videos. nice to see the representation.
+morgenstern Thanks for checking it out!
A girl in my class has some of the best hair styles I have ever seen! I have a new respect for her and the Styles she does
these locs look GORGEOUS on Sojourner
When she said Congo I said ayy African gyall
This style looks really great on her but so did her natural hair. She's just over all gorgeous
I am completely mesmerized by doing African hair. It is so beautiful and satisfying, just want to watch more like this. These girls area killing it!
The locs suit her so well. She looks AMAZING.
The woman with the pink locs reminded me of Rose Quartz from Steven Universe ❤
YES, the black girl version of Rose Quartz
Bruh that hairstylists hair is ICONIC. She did such a great job both of them
That HBCU perm to natural strong is SOOOOOOO true 😂😂😂 so many girls were big chopping and the boys were losing their minds 😂😂😂
I thoroughly enjoyed this video, it's participants and the positivity.
GORGEOUS and that is what she was before she went into the salon and when she came out.
Her smile after she had her hair done ❤️
It’s refreshing to see women embracing their natural hair! I’m sick of refinery videos always be like, “my hair is boring, I’m going blonde” let’s embrace what we were given.
I wish I knew so much more about black hair so I love these kind of videos, and Refinery 29 has so many educational videos about the beauty industry too, I love them.
she looks so pretty with the locs!
I'm going to be honest ever since I was a little girl I've loved locs and iv always wanted to get them but always been too afraid I would be judged because I'm this little latio girl with straight hair but this is so beautiful I think I'm just going to go for it. You truly look like a goddess girl.
First time I approved of the refinery's hair series and dealing with black hair. Love it
I can hear that Scarlett is Liberian from a mile away 😂 #LIB
Wow goddess locs are gorgeous!!
Goddess locks suit you so much!!
I want to loc my hair soooooooooo badly. I've been toying with that idea for yeeeeeeears, but I have scalp issues that I need to deal with first before I seriously consider locking my hair.
I was gonna big chop my hair when I graduated but I never did. I just started trying to learn natural essentials and allowed it to do what it do. Keeping it moisturized and trimming it every now and then
They did SUCH a good job, it looks like they did it quickly, and they styled the f outta it at the end, talk about a holistic process
Your hair looks amazing!!!! I absolutely love the gold additions! ♥️
Absolutely beautiful. And then will get softer and more fluid with time. Congratulations!
I'm white and I went to a salon once and my hairdresser was a black woman and man she can style my hair and make it look good. Also it was super easy to talk to her like no awkward silent moments. I just felt so comfortable around her.
Edit: she looks like a goddess. Love it!!!
Honestly, she looks so gorgeous. The owner is great. She knows what she is doing 😍
I love locs so much! I have never seen a black woman who did not look amazing rocking them!
Wow. She really does look like a goddess. The gold jewelry really brought it all together. 😍😍😍❤️
I see her videos all over Instagram her work is so good
Queens. The term "Goddess locs" fits this so perfectly. African and Afro-American people are the best in doing hair.
They are gorgeous!! I'm overly jealous of black people's hair and the endless possibilities of styles.
My favorite part us the clips in it
She is so beautiful, her smile at the end just made my day
Wow thats dope! I remember studying Sojourner Truth as a child and to see someone with this name is Amazing. Such a beautiful and powerful name!
She is STUNNING
She looks so beautiful! Her face is so happy! Love
