“Why yall never ask white/asian/Indian women this?” Bc we’re the only ones who’ve been blatantly told by society that we are the exact opposite of what is acceptable. We are the only ones who were FORCED into assimilating FORCED to cover our natural beauty FORCED to witness other races of women be loved and adored in their truest forms while we’ve always had to work 10 times harder just to be treated with half respect. So yes, when we have conversations about the effects we will be at the forefront cuz who did it have lasting effects on???? Us or the white ppl we were told to be like? Like be so fr im tired of everyone being willfully obtuse.
I agree with you, but we have to be the ones to build self confidence within ourselves. If we never accept and love our hair and keep feeding into the lies they've told us.. we'll never be free and we'd just be confirming those negative ideals to enforce them further. It starts with us. I started my freeform dreads this year and I've been covering my head for years but although I cover my head for spiritual reasons, I wanna remove it. I know that I've had issues with my hair since I was forced to wear perms as a little girl.. I want dreads, particularly freeform without me ever twisting them because I want to accept my 4b 4c hair as is.. especially through the "ugly" stage. To be willing to wear my hair out during this stage and sticking with it no matter how much I think it makes me look "ugly" I know that is just what we are made to feel about ourselves and it's not true.. and what I'm really doing is building self confidence within myself to not give a damn what someone feels about my hair in this state of chaos and allowing what it wants to do instead of what was told to me. Now that's black girl magic. We can't wait on the world to love us, then we can confidently decide to love us. That love and acceptance has to come from us. Then we can be loved by the world and if we don't then fuck em lol because self love is independent of outside validation.
@@sibria THANK YOU!! Why tf should we care about what women in other communities are doing? I’m concerned about US! If your kid is havin a hard time learning to read do you point at other kids and be like well Timmy can’t read well either🫵🏾!! No, you’re only worried about your own child, rightfully so. idk why it’s such a hard concept for them to grasp in this specific situation 😭 any other time it doesn’t even have to be addressed. They just wanna deflect bc God forbid we turn inward and reflect on ourselves for once.
I agree with them. To me, it didn’t sound like they were telling black women what to do, they were just praising natural beauty. A lot of black women do feel less than without hair additions and it’s a problem. Many black women in the comments/ on TikTok deflected from this issue by saying that “other races wear extensions” or “just let bw do what they want”. I honestly don’t think most bw want to wear fake hair but they feel like they have no other options because that’s all they know or they are afraid of how they will be perceived.
Yes thy were ,they are both black and white .What about their white cousins who wear makeup, extensions ,lashes and wigs??? Their white side people have makeup tutorials everywhere.Why are they only addressing their black side only??
@@sakuraesther6309Nope. They never talk about white women. Only us and our flaws because we are the only race of women who has flaws and weaknesses. As a black women I sometimes wish I could run away from everyone and everything and live a life of peace. We are not only attacked by everyone online but also attacked by black men too. It’s truly terrible and I’m truly tired.
@@sakuraesther6309I don't care about the makeup but the hair they clearly have coily hair let's be honest majority of blk women aren't wearing extentions like other races their going in the complete opposite others use it as an extension of heir natural texture we usually wearing silky straight when their natural hair is coily . Let's not deflect adress the actual issue .
Im a 2b/3c mother with a 4c daughter. Can we be honest about this "natural" thing. There is acceptable natural and these women fit it by mold. My dark skin black self with 2b/3c curls fit it. My duaghter does not. And the vitrol I get for not keeping her neat, espvially when she wears an afro. With a variation of products, ill do us both a wash and go and im being chewed out about my childs hair not being "acceptable" and kept. So i spend hours manipulating her hair to be acceptable. She is 7 now, and i just get her styled the way she wants at the salon. She gets extension hair added on if i have to go through the trouble of always keeping her "natural hair" styled. I tell my daughter to be herself, and i do the same. I cant jive with a message about self love when the crown act had to be signed to help protect women who do wear their natural hair to work and school in some places. This isnt just about beauty enhancements which every woman uses. Its the systemic call out of black women, as if we will be able to walk out the house in our true natural state without someone telling us to "clean it up". And this is coming from a black woman who can just walk out the house with a grease and water style. Let just be honest about this conversation for once.
As a black woman who wears my natural hair everyday, I’m so tired of everyone dragging black women for wearing wigs and weaves. There literally was a LAW passed against black hair discrimination. I myself have faced hair discrimination in the workplace. When I use to work in the office, I had to slick my 3c/4a hair into a bun with a bunch of gel just to get a job. I didn’t wear my hair out until I got the job when I use to work in the office and everytime I wore braids or my hair out my non black coworkers always had something to say. I work from home now and don’t have to be on camera so now I can wear my natural hair freely. I understand that not every black woman has the privilege to work from home or has a work from home job that doesn’t require them to be on camera so of course they will feel pressured to conform to move up in Corporate America. People just need to leave black women alone. 😒
Exactly, I hate how the reasons why we have a disconnect with our hair is overlooked. And people that don’t understand speak on it. Biracial is not black, their hair is deemed to be beautiful/ good hair. Of course it’s easy for them to say wear your real hair
This is it! Coming from a Sista who doesn't know a thing about makeup and only wears natural hair and hairstyles I wish folks would leave my sistas alone. Let them wear whatever they want to. We have been policed for far too long, let us live!
This but the worst- military. They literally take tape measure and of course we have so much hair, our bun or braids would be deemed ‘too bulky’. I covered my starter locs with a bad bob wig- bad wig on purpose as a silent protest to having to cover my own beautiful hair. 😢
My problem is some of the responses ignore the reality that we have tons of BW hop online lamenting about their natural hair, skin color, etc in droves. It’s intellectually dishonest to do all this lying to justify wearing wigs
Literally all the time. There are 4C TH-camrs (like Star puppy) whose whole channel has become a journey of how much they hate their hair. Like the disingenuousness is hilarious 😂
@@xshesyourqorqeousxx3ummm that is not what that channel is about. She loves her hair and experiments with it. Her hair even has a nickname (Star Nugget I believe)… so stop lying
@@ashimarqui4800as a person who’s been watch star puppy since dam near 2016 it’s silly to pretend she hasn’t been having a hard time recently liking her hair she even admitted it in her video about how she’s apart of the problem with the natural hair community .
i agree with the natural hair. I believe we should embrace our natural hair more. However makeup,lashes and beauty regimens are not a problem. other races of women do it so why cant we. I love my natural hair and my makeup
Make-up and lashes are fine if done in moderation. Many black women overdo it with the makeup and especially the lashes. What happened to wanting your enhancements to look natural?
I read they do. Most of us don’t want to join a religion that restrictive. And then lots still speak German. Can you picture us wanting to learn the language? And giving up Black men.
@wordsbymaribeja1470 and yet it is a Christian religion that are part of the 16th century Protestant Reformation. They believe in Jesus. They’re Anabaptist who came here to escape religious prosecutions. They isolated and still speak German. I think lots of Christians would be comfortable among them save for the lack of Black people. The Black man I knew who was Mennonite and lived in their community, was the only one there. He married had a couple of children with a white woman.
I thinks it’s that bw want ppl to just leave them tf alone. Talk about something or somebody else. BW doesn’t want to be bothered by other people’s constant opinions and suggestions for them (and no one asked them), that’s not given to anyone else.
Ok. Then you wont be offended when i pop up at your home and follow you around everyday and tell you what to wear and how to style your hair daily. This should be fun. No. No problem. I'm trying to be helpful. And I'll also tell people that you encounter on a daily basis that you lack self esteem f so I'm trying to help give you self esteem. Glad to help. 👍😊
What I can’t fathom is how biracial people express how they don’t feel Black enough growing up or didn’t feel accepted by the Black community yet they are always speaking on Black issues. I just wonder why I never hear a biracial person speaking on white issues since they are both..
If you're a melaninated mixed person you don't experience life as a white person. That's just how it is, biracial people with nore melanin arent magically going to be seen as white because their skin doesn't match theirs. Hence why they talk so much about blackness because that is how they experience life the majority of the time. Yes there are some privileges but that doesn't take away from the disadvantages either. White people are not going to see you as white if you are mixed, just look at the reception of Nico Parker for her role as astrid in the how to train a dragon live action.
@@adry4710 I’m very aware of that! .. I made this remark as well because those young ladies identify as white. However, most of them act conflicted as well as obtuse about the situation. Black people accept biracial people more than white people do. Biracial people can’t even cast themselves in a white family for a tv show unless they look white passing! Yet biracial people will still use Black people as a scapegoat when they NEVER have that energy for their white counterparts… a biracial person can always identify as blk or biracial but never as just white.. which we all know is due to the one stop rule white ppl created. However, they need to stop using blk individuals as a pawn when they face discrimination most of their lives from white ppl… yet never address them.. it’s ridiculous.
I am not the arbiter of blackness, so I have no interest in whether these young ladies are considered Black or not. However, since the young ladies can't decide whether to use "they" or "we" when speaking about Black women, what comes out of their mouths sounds very condescending.
They're definitely biracial which I find very interesting. I guarantee their mom is white and dad black. The real question is how did some white Amish woman sneak away and get knocked up by a black man?
My problem is they always address bw and not any other group of women. Ww are the least natural group of women yet bw names are always in every 👏🏾 bodies 👏🏾mouth👏🏾. Its annoying
Because white women and Asian women actually need those things to stand out. They need lip injections, BBLs, nose jobs, coutured make-up, lashes, etc. The point is that black women's natural beauty often doesn't need all of those extra enhancements. Less is more with black women.
First of all, black women's name isn't always in everyone's mouth. You just follow content creators that center their content around black women. Maybe step outside of the black box and you'll realize everyone isn't talking about black women. Secondly, people are allowed to have their opinions about black women just like black women have their opinions about any and every thing they want. Lastly, the way black women have been grooming themselves the last decade comes off very clownish and I'm a black woman saying this. It's gotten so bad that black women are now being compared to trans women and drag queens. That's embarrassing.
@28:50 They are technically mixed race women in their early 20s. They are adults. Stop making excuses and giving them passes. Black women are already talking to black women about loving ourselves naturally, we don't need no one else to speak on us!!!
Most women dress to attract men. This has been true for a long time. When men start looking for women who look like these Amish women, we’ll all toss our wigs, makeup, and get ourselves some of the latest Amish fashions. Now, one thing I’d like to point out is that the Amish generally don’t want to be photographed. These women are appearing on video. Maybe they’re Mennonite . Just a thought as I have known biracial Mennonite and they live among the Amish. They are religiously related and work together as the Mennonite embrace modern technology and the Amish don’t.
During basic training, we were not allowed to wear makeup, and our hair was required to be in a bun. After months of seeing women without makeup, grown-out brows, skin blemishes and texture, and the little mustache hairs that sometimes appear, adjusting back to women wearing full faces of makeup was off-putting. It took me a while to acclimate to. I wish we could keep it simple and natural like the Amish, but that is not how it works outside of their community
I think that other people or races should definitely mind their own business and stay out of ours we as black women are beautiful period wings or no wings short hair or long hair
There were several incidents where students were not allowed to walk across the stage to get their high school diploma because of their hair. Also, there was a young man who was going to be disqualified during a wrestling match if he didn't allow the ref to cut his hair. The ref cut his locs and it caused an outrage! I'm a bad bitch because I'm graduating with a doctoral degree and I fly fisrt class when I travel. I leave the coutry twice a year and I do it all in twist with no hair added! Im natural and fabulous but others can define Bad B as she choses.
Many black women have repeatedly said that they like their hair and skin in many of the videos. Someone just making up wild stories about low self esteem is just falsely accusing black women. That's false witnessessing. Commandment number 9. No Christian pointed that out but I am. Not only will I not be at peace with breaking commandment number 9, (lying on someone) I'm asking God to drag them to he||.
Agreed, life is too short, BW don't owe anyone anything or any explanation, our body is our own no one else's and i think people should go with what makes them happy and comfortable at all times. What matters is the person you are inside and the relationships you form in this life.
36:00 You don't have to defend biracials you've choosen to and the point is that the 'discrimination' that biracials face is biracial business, I don't think there's competition but there is the need to stay in your lane on the discrimination each group faces because that these girls uniformerly have white mothers says alot.
The ideas, thoughts, teachings, and words of their Caucasian mothers are coming out of their biracial mouths..as child rearing is meant to do...whats even stranger is that this was chosen as a subject matter in their homes..their mothers, ultimately are trying to mold the minds of the Black community through their biracial children And this is only one area and thought process of life they want to alter or feel as though they have affected
@@GGGG-uj1no You sound just like me on this comment, I 100% agree that it is the mother's role, and rightly so, to inculcate the child with their culture and values, but I really think this is coming from the black fathers. It is black men that has given people the licence to think they can denigrate and dissect black women's chosen aesthetics, white women follow because black men paved the way and we need to understand that we don't know (though we can suspect) the extent of the interractions between black men and white women but black men have been pursuing them openly for most of the 20th century and now the 21st century using the denigration of black women as bait.
Them being biracial makes me wonder why ar they only addressing black women??? There are white and biracial women who wear makeup ,nails , extensions , wigs and etc .WHY ARE THEY ONLY COMING FROM FULL BLACK WOMEN??? And yes this is coming from a Naturalista through and through. They should advice their biracial sisters and white sisters
These two girls even said they aren’t black, they said they consider themselves white. It’s so sickening that they sit from the exterior of the black woman world and zoomed in with a critical eye and started running their mouth about black women. They momma is white, so they need to talk about yt women.
The difference is white and non BW wear weave that matches their own texture. Unfortunately most BW usually wear weaves that is the exact opposite of their own hair.
1. They weaves that are their texture. When they start wearing 4c hair then I think they would get the same backlash 2. There was a study only 21% of black women were found to wear their natural hair year round. While 90 percent of Wyte women were natural year round Hopefully you see the difference
@@jasminscarbrough2596Who were the people they polled for these statistics? It's way more than 21% of us that do not use hair extensions and wear our natural hair year round. How many of the white women they polled and include in that 90% use heat tools on their hair?
I feel like so many people tell black women how beautiful and unique they are AS IS, that there isn’t much need for modification (wigs, lashes, etc) and instead of taking those observations and applying them, black women get offended and defiant about doing the exact opposite.
😂😂😂 so true!!! I think it has a lot more to do with WHO is actually having the conversation. If the girls had been darker, with visible signs of kinkier hair, I don’t think it would’ve gone viral.
Why is it that when someone praises natural hair and criticize wigs, it’s rage bait? I think my 4c hair is so beautiful and royal. Everything groups ⬆️UP including our hair.
I personally don’t view praising 4c hair as race baiting but criticizing black women for what they do what their 4c hair can be depending on intention🤎
6:30 THIS IS SPOT ON. I'm a 4c haired girly and I'd rather much see someone who has 4c speak on the issue like this but they are right on this point right here. the way bw are obsessed over weave is sickening. They're washing sew ins on their scalp SMOTHERING THEIR natural hair is straight up mental illness imo. We complain about systemic racism but uphold this ONE part of it because most BW think their hair is that disgusting and ugly. I thought this too as a child and used to hide my hair because I couldn't care for it like the 1a hair types. But now in my 30s I wear my natural hair, no heat added even. I WISH I had been saved as a young girl. Now is better than never. But I'm worried for our younger generations. :(
They are not Amish. Amish women cover their hair with a stiff cap at all times and restrict excessive use of buttons. they only show their hair to their husbands and those braids would be seen as vanity.
If you😂 rely too much on extensions and wigs as opposed to wearing your own natural hair, i understand some of these messages can put you on the defensive. But i am starting to get irritated at everyone having something to say about black hair😂. I am currently on an extension free journey myself but I wear wigs to switch things up sometimes. But as much as i like wearing my twists and plats with no synthetic extensions/braiding hair, sometimes wigs are just so convenient😂. Especially those human hair half wigs that don't be messing the edges❤. I love to do the kinky and kinky straight ones. So nice.
I am a natural girl through and through and I hate everything they say.Why can't they address fellow biracials or their white side??? Why are they talking about us?? We can do it ourselves
I understand this point completely but as a fully black dark skin girl I honestly agree with everything they say and how they speak up to push and encourage conversations that we ourselves tend to ignore or be afraid of.
Be careful with what you call colorist. Imagine 2 MAGAs from 2 worlds (our world and an alternate world). In both worlds, BLM accuses them of being racist. Our MAGA denies being racist (like they do with project 2025). The alternate MAGA accepts the racist label like they would accept the label, "Pro Gun". You, as a BLM supporter; would you rather debate, "Is MAGA racist?" or debate, "Is Racism good?"? Because the 1st at least implies that racism isn't something anyone wants to be associated with. There is a price with calling a spade a spade; if people do that, then the spade is no longer, from a social standpoint, as much of a spade; it becomes more of a spear. If you want the word, "racist" to stay a spear, then be careful with what you call racist. If you are fine with it being a spear, then call whatever you want racist.
@@aitanabrooks614you need to dig a little deeper into the internet. There are plenty of videos of bw women addressing matters such as these. These girls are just copying what those other bw have been saying all along.
With a white mom at that. Can 100% bet majority of the people she is around daily is white, so what makes you get up to speak on a group of women you know nothing of??? A domesticated house cat can’t teach a lion a zamn thing.
Even a broken clock is right twice a, day. Light makeup, natural hair, and losing weight is the cheat code. Even if you don’t plan on getting married or having kids, leveling up is a game changer. You don’t have to like the messenger or tone. But there is a seed of, truth(in what they’re saying).
3:20 I’m glad they noted the separation. They are not and should not be labeled BW or touted as representative of BW. Because the separation becomes much more clear when only ‘BW’ of that shade and hair type gets the ad campaign/ leading role, or the state/national beauty title, or some low value entertainer rich man. Then folks acknowledge they are not necessarily black. The distinction is importance to me. Just my POV.
It's a hot mess. I don't use the For You tab or whatever it’s called. I don't use the app the way it wants me to. I follow a few people, and I go directly to their profiles. I REFUSE to swipe. After watching several reaction videos, I think it's a bad idea for all these people to post videos of their thoughts online. It's a mess!
They're not Amish just because they dress like that. They are a part of the Church of God (Restoration) cult, NOT to be confused with Church of God in Christ (COGIC).
@@CoffeeCuties777 Yeah, it's wild. It's a bit of a newer cult so most people aren't aware of it but if you search it up (don't forget the "restoration" part) you'll find videos and news articles about it. You'll actually see those girls in video clips where the leaders or "apostles" (eye rolls) are speaking too. Aah!
In my opinion, the best way black women can express self love, especially regarding 4c natural hair is for us to utilize its versatility. We can do so many different intricate styles in our hair, it saddens me when we put ourselves in a box on what bw should look like when we can quite literally look different every week. With peace and love bw are free to do whatever we want, instead of calling bw ugly and we need to change, lets start calling out the world for what they did to make bw feel ugly.
Imo people are upset about the messager and not the message. Why cant biracial women speak on this? When blk women COMPLAIN about natural hair and reinforce the idea of natural hair being "hard" etc...they arent doing it infront of just blk people, but infront of the whole world so y wouldnt other (black, biracial or not) form opinions on this. If these biracial women were spreading the "good hair" narative it would have been problem. Here they are trying to WELCOME and spread the idea of natural being beautiful and its STILL considered a problem by people who deem biracials as superior. MANY ppl dont like the fact that THEY are saying this because they natural have the texture a lot of bw (who say natural hair is "hard" etc) want to have/achieve...
They can absolutely speak on it. But they’re ignoring so many complexities when you’re not a “mixed” black woman. Can we agree that they would never be teased, bullied, outcast, or treated as less based on their appearance alone? Will they have the same experiences as a dark skin, 4C textured black woman? No. And I think if they had just mentioned that, it would’ve solidified the entire discussion. I loved what they said! But I can see why so many others took offense.
@CoilyCode there are no complexities. We can't have it both ways. We can't complain about being "bullied" for our natural hair one minute and then complain and play oppression Olympics because a biracial woman says our hair is beautiful. There is nothing they need to "understand". We aren't kids, we're a full grown adults that have numerous resources to deal with and adress any trauma that has given has body or hair dysmorphia, we can't keep expecting people to tip toe around us and encourage all unhealthy habits just because of a difficult past. At the end of the day, the idea that EVERYONE is wearing a wig because of severe bullying or because they can't get jobs is a lie, a lie ppl like to tell themselves and others to guilt trip everyone into thinking this is normal or should be normal when it isn't and shouldn't be. If we don't biracials to make vids like this then maybe we shouldn't keep complaining so publicly
@amenajackson8133 cool then maybe we should also only speak om black issues on black spaces? Maybe let's start by not addressing things on youtube at all
Hair loss issues is absolutely because of "protective styles"...acting like its just hormonal issues is a lie. Black men have the same texture and yet they are less like likely to suffer from alopecia than white men meanwhile blk women are more likely to suffer from alopecia than white women. Ppl forget that our hair strands have cells, meaning they NEED fresh air, they need oxygen to thrive. We dont give our hair enough air to just be and breath. So many industries have benefited from us because of the protective hairstyle lie. Protective styling in winter AND summer? Our hair was made for summer weather and yet even then ppl dint want to wear it out because of "frizz"? Perm was invented in the US and has given bw so many health issues. Synthetic braiding hair invented in Japan and again has given bw and is still leading to many health issues. Afro hair products, products that focus on styling and "definition" instead og afro hair HEALTH is continously being exposed to toxic chemicals that arent even legal in many EU countries. If a woman has long hair despite wearing wigs 90 percent of the yr, its not because she is looking after her hair or because WIGS are making the hair grow... its genetics and people are being fooled whilst losing edges
I would have agreed with you five years ago, but I do think there’s more to alopecia than just synthetic hair and topical chemicals. My mother went natural 23 years ago with all of her hair, but started losing her hair 15 years later. She never wore wigs or weave, and she washed her hair on a weekly basis. I was perplexed! There’s something else at play. I think there’s a spiritual component at work. It’s the only thing that makes sense to me.
@A_Wilson I'm no expert but I think the products we use plays a role in this too. We wear more products than ther race and for longer. Other races wear products to but they wash their hair more frequently, we on the other hand wash our hair less because of our coils and put more products on our scalps for longer. A lot of the products sold to black people contain toxic ingredients that sure, might make our hair grow (or not) but aren't actually healthy for our scalp. On top of that we have been conditioned to believe our hair is "strong" meaning when we style our hair, even when we think it's not tight, it's still too tight for our hair strands. Since our hair is curly, we often don't even feel or know when one strand is being pulled too much.
@mimiad397 I have no idea what your trying to pull but no most black women white owned products because they make everything and they are not quick to sell their companies hair loss is a 100% genetics or due to blood issues and hormone change I can't believe your comparing black women to men black men don't commonly have these issues because they are men women go through a lot of body changes literally every month it's not the same there certainly more factors than just fake hear Fake wear is nothing new and has been woren for changes even by white people after they saw black Africans wearing wigs why do you think the was that oh period of white people wearing white fake hair no in that time seemed to suffer from hair loss despite them wearing wigs everyday everywhere be for real
hair is dead. hair cells are literally dead. they don't need oxygen to breathe because they aren't alive. this is simple science. the hair cells are alive before they emerge from the scalp though just not after.
With the rise in uterine fibroids, endometriosis, PCOS, etc., especially in Black women, I agree. Those issues are leading to fertility issues now too. There’s something in our beauty products causing our community to see a rise more than any other group of women. Pharmaceutical companies took notice 5-6 years ago and started doing clinical trials to study the increase too, so people are noticing the rise.
They aren't amish though. They belong to a sect called "the Church of God." I think it's more Pentecostal than anything. The whole video on their youtube channel was very cute and wholesome. Kinda feels like they're in a cult, but they do seem happy where they're at.
You've heard of them? They don't sound Amish at all. They sound like they're very immersed in popular culture and current issues and the accents aren't Amish.
@wordsbymaribeja1470 I watched some of their podcasts where they clearly explained they are not amish, and who they actually are and why they dress the way they do.
From the clips, (because I didn't watch their whole episode), they didn't say anything that wasn't true. However, I think that Amish religion is very much LAW, and that's what it's giving, a slightly tone deaf perspective. They probably feel this way about makeup, clothes, etc... And it's easy for people who live by the law to condemn what goes against it, or at least what goes against their appearance of extreme holiness. Cuz, we've all fallen short. And these girls are young, not saying that they're not right, but I believe with maturity, they'll understand that it's a journey for us all. As much as I'd love to see black women embrace their natural God-given design, it is unrealistic and unfair to expect us all to embrace it (if that makes sense). Everyone has their own pace at which they grow. More and more of us are rocking our natural hair. This isn't a new discussion, but I think as it is brought up, we just continue to aim toward that mark of total acceptance. Everyone isn't going to go to heaven fully accepting the way God made them. and in the church setting as a whole, we haven't done a good job of affirming black women and their natural beauty for a LOOOOOONG time. So, I agree with what these girls said, I wish they had at least took into consideration that they are literally the beauty standard of the black community, and potentially some parts in the western world. Anyway, my two cents :D
Thanks for commenting and I completely agree…I don’t have a problem with what they said I just wish they would have acknowledged there’s a lot of nuance to these conversations and acknowledged their experience as biracial women is going to be different then monoracial women….not saying one is better or worse than the other but it is differences🤎
For the sake of conversation, maybe the girls third person-ed black women because they don’t identify with the average black woman’s struggle in society, and not that they don’t see themselves as black idrk🤷🏽♀️ just a thought. So the first girl was giving mean girl, and she says that black women know that we don’t need lashes and things that, and instead, it’s because we have access to these items and that’s why we wear lashes, nails, wigs, etc…but there was a time in highschool when I couldn’t leave the house if my edges weren’t done. A style wasn’t finished if my edges weren’t done. I felt ugly and unpresentable and you can’t tell me there aren’t black women that feel the same way about wigs and weaves. Then one day I made myself go out without my edges done everyday. I thought it was foolish to allow something like that to hinder me from walking in confidence. I don’t believe it’s access, I believe it’s insecurity for a lot of us. The second girl was giving insecure as well, because like you said…the baddie esthetic doesn’t = straight hair 36” bussdown. The third girl mentioned how she’d love to wear her hair but can’t because she’s dealing with hair loss…but notice how it’s a straight wig🤨. The whole talk about makeup, is a different thing. It’d be in the same conversation if us black women were wearing foundation 2-3 shades lighter than our actual skin but we’re not. I really can’t stand when other races are brought the into the conversation because I feel like it’s just a deflection. We are addressing what affects our community. Lastly, it’s fine to acknowledge our past and how that has hindered us to this day, but we perpetuate the pain by deciding to damage our hair and scalps by continuing wearing hair that is not ours or making our hair look like something that it’s not. If the root of the issue is insecurity, then wearing wigs, using straightening tools, and sometimes even braids👀… is like putting a bandaid on a festering wound. We need to find healing and there is empowerment in wearing your natural hair, styling your natural hair, loving and embracing your natural hair.
You keep lumping biracial women in the black category and get offended when they identify and behave like the biracials they are. They are not black. They are BIRACIAL. They don't identify as black. They NEVEER will identify as black. Because they have a whole parent of another race that separates them from black people. They will ALWAYS prefer their proximity to whiteness.
IT really is, I suspect we'll soon hear that they're clout chasing but along with it they're appropriating and distorting a people's culture. There is nothing about them that sounds Amish, the Amish don't watch TV and consume popular culture so where are they getting these talking points and these accents? Also the racial angle? Amish how?
Let's be real, cryracials mad that their hair slip out of box braids, and now all black women hate themselves... nah, stay in your biracial line, respectfully 🙏.
I have kinky 4b/4c hair, I stopped wearing wigs a while ago and I receive the most compliments when my hair is in a natural fro, it’s extremely large and when blown out my hair is lower back. I get the most compliments from men (all non black men). Wear your hair with confidence and learn how to style your fro or whatever 🤷🏽♀️
The responses to their video is very telling. Without digging- you can’t tell if these women are biracial or Amish. When i scrolled upon it, their message was taken for what it is. It was only when i went to the comments did i start applying nuance to the message and messengers. The gag is, black women chose to focus on discrediting the messenger rather than actually responding to the message and creating a space to converse. It’s always “what about (insert nonblack race) ???” As if what white/asian/hispanic women are doing have anything to do with wtf we’re doing. We’re the first ones to tell ppl to stay on topic and not deflect yet that’s all i seen in those comments. These same women turn around and degrade each other depending on how “laid” these crazy ass hair hats are on their heads. But when someone comes in and says “yall all look crazy asf” nowwwww we should be minding our business and keeping our comments to ourselves 😭. They can tell you your natural hair is nappy and dry all day with no consequences tho.
13:53 oh y'all definitely do think you're not beautiful without it though lol. That's why you'll hide your natural hair if you don't have wigs, weave, or braids in public but won't wear sunglasses to hide the fact that you don't have those bushy caterpillar lashes on.
Also the only woman I will listen to about black hair is BLACK WOMEN. I’m not listening to mixed women. A black woman can critique black women on our relationship with our hair since they are black with the same hair as me but not mixed women with type 3a/3b hair.
For black women with healthy scalps (no scalp conditions) and healthy skin (including some minor regular pimples), why do you cover your natural hair (using synthetic or human hair, extensions, etc.) and wear heavy makeup? Also, why do you fight so hard against natural beauty? Finally, If you no longer have access to those materials that you have to buy, what will you do, and how will you feel about yourself? I genuinely want to understand.
My hair requires too much time and maintenance to style regularly, so I wear braids most of the time and my hair on occasion. It’s convenient and not weather sensitive. I don’t wear makeup unless it’s a special occasion or if I’m taking pictures. Once again, convenience. If I have to wear my hair I will and be just fine. Braids are just easier.
@@creedom5676 Thank you for your insights and sharing your journey. I can completely understand. I have 4b hair, which was high maintenance, time-consuming, and not growing past my neck. Then I used to do feed-in braids using synthetic hair of a similar texture. Over time, it dried out my real hair, it was costly and time consuming as well and not growing, still breaking off. Five years ago, I made the best decision for me, which was to loc my hair. Semi-freeform, no to minor maintenance, only using Dr. Bronner's bar soap and argan oil products. My hair is healthy, past the bra strap, does not stop growing. Regardless of the weather, it still looks good. I wake up, go, and look beautiful. It truly changed my life, diet, and how I move in this world, all for the better. My only regret was not locking it sooner.
I completely get your point. For me I believe that we didn't grow up doing our hair and as adults we cant handle the maintenance it requires because we never learned. Our hair doesn't magically become unmanageable as adults we don't learn the skills to maintain it. I feel so silly for just realizing this yesr that I could wear my natural hair in protective styles without added hair. It's crazy to think putting 22 inch extensions on chin length hair wouldn't stress the folicile especially given our hair is so fragile. I think all we can do is raise our sons and daughters to love their hair and not allow alternatives until we know it is for an aesthetic and not rooted in any insecurities
It would make more sense if biracial women just focused on other biracial women because sometimes they don’t even want to be grouped with either race. Sometimes they want their own identity. Nonetheless, they could’ve discussed how biracial women should love their natural curls as well. Put the flat iron down sometimes sis 🤷🏽♀️
I had to comment on that video: this is what I had to say: Sorry, a bit long Hey everyone! 😊 I normally don’t comment, but I felt compelled to share my thoughts on this topic because, honestly, it feels like we’re hearing the same perspectives over and over again, and it’s becoming a bit boring. I don’t mean to sound rude or dismissive of anyone’s feelings, but as a Black woman, I believe it’s important to acknowledge that every Black person has a unique experience. Let me introduce myself-I’m a dark-skinned girl from both Portuguese and Angolan heritage. Growing up, the Angolan culture didn’t expose me much to makeup or hairstyles like wigs and weaves; in fact, having these styling techniques is often considered a luxury due to the cost involved. This was similar in Portugal, where I didn’t have many Black hairstylists available. The only hairstylist I had was a lovely white lady named Margarida, who was a neighbour and a friend’s mom. When I moved to the UK and now live in Scotland, my hair journey took on a whole new dimension. My parents have always showered me with compliments since I was a baby, and I’ve been blessed with full lips and big, beautiful afro hair. I even decided to cut my hair to a medium length! My dad has fantastic taste when it comes to hairstyles and has always provided honest advice, and my mum’s support has been invaluable too. They taught me to love myself as I am, and I’m proud to say that my partner loves me just the way I am, too. I made it clear from the beginning that I’m not someone who feels pressure to fit a particular mold; I embrace my natural beauty. I wear my hair in various styles-sometimes I let it out in all its coily glory, sometimes I rock braids, and other times I go for a blowout. Society often labels certain hair textures as having privilege, but I truly believe that it’s not about the texture you have; it’s about how you carry yourself with confidence and pride, no matter what. As a Christian, I believe in exercising my free will, and I choose to enhance my beauty in the ways that make me feel most awake and confident. I don’t wear makeup often because I prefer to keep things simple. Honestly, applying makeup can feel too time-consuming for me, and I love resting my hands without worrying about stains! I know this might sound harsh, but if you feel you can’t step outside without your wig or makeup, it might be worth reflecting on that. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to enhance your beauty, as long as you’re comfortable in your skin. I’ve experienced my fair share of challenges, but I decided long ago that I’m not here to please anyone but myself. Working in an environment where I’m one of the few Black people, I wear my hair in the way that makes me feel good, not to fit into a mold. People appreciate my confidence and attitude, and that’s how my family raised me. That brings me to what I really want to say: When discussing topics like this, it’s crucial to include the voices of Black and African women. It feels repetitive to hear the same recycled comments from non-Black and biracial women, and let me tell you-I know some people may take longer to heal and deal with their past, which is perfectly okay. Let’s embrace the new year with open minds; it’s time to leave outdated comments in the past. I have biracial nieces, and we’re teaching them to be proud of their unique backgrounds. It’s wonderful to see representation, but it’s equally important for biracial individuals to share their experiences honestly. To all the Black girls out there: Do whatever you want with your hair! It’s your hair and your business. You’d be surprised by how many people-from all backgrounds-love seeing you embrace your natural beauty, whether that’s with straight hair, natural curls, or colored styles. Let’s stop making assumptions about each other and resist the urge to comment on videos that perpetuate stereotypes about Black women. I’m not here to bring negativity; I just want us to see the beauty in our diverse experiences. Thank you for reading! 💖
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with embracing your natural coily hair…you made a lot of great points..and yes at the end of the day though I personally center coily hair on this channel as the beauty standard it’s a black women choice how she decides to wear her hair. This channel is to lay out all perspectives so the best decision can be made🤎
Then why didn't they call out white women ,biracial women and Asian women who ALL wear heavy makeups ,and extensions??? Why are they calling out full black women??
I@@sakuraesther6309I could be wrong here, but I feel like they are calling out black women specifically because, and you can correct me if I'm wrong😅 from what I've seen online, black women would come online and complain about their dislike for their hair and features and so on cause I've never really seen latinas, Asians or Caucasian women really complain or have some self hatred towards themselves due to being a different race. I just think it's a little odd how when black women come online and complain and then get shocked when people come online and say negative things about them , but when someone is trying to give praises (like the biracial women, who probably meant no harm) they get upset, it makes no sense because they come online to the world and talk about how much they hate themselves, but that's just me. But kindly feel free to correct me😊❤
@@sakuraesther6309pls name another race of woman that was FORCED to assimilate in the way we were. Name another race that has historically been mistreated depending on how kinky their hair is. Name another race of woman that has the same relationship with hair that we do…other races of women not being included in this convo should actually tell you that there’s nothing inherently wrong with wearing weave and makeup since it’s clear as day that we ALL participate in beauty standards. The reason black women are constantly called to the stage is bc we’re the main ones being abused by the beauty standard. We’re always the blueprint but never the model. What other races of women categorizes certain hair types as “good hair”??? who else misses work/events because their “hair isn’t did”? Who else refers to their natural hair as “childish” but will proudly put bows and clips in loose textured weave/wig for a fun look? so quick to deflect and make excuses. The reality is that black women have a unique experience and relationship with our hair and we will continue to have these conversations until we can raise the next gen without the same pressures to assimilate that we had. All women do these things but they don’t have the same effects and consequences on them as they do us.
I think people get confused in conversations of encouraging BW to wear their natural hair. Lashes and makeup is enhancing your natural features it’s a form of self expression for people of any race it isn’t a problem at all, when most people argue against lace fronts and bundles they are discouraging the texturism and hair dysmorphia that BW who are reliant on and only wear textures that aren’t their own hair textures exhibit often. Talking down on type 4 hair all the time, perpetuating texturism, saying that naturals aren’t beautiful and can’t fit into “baddie” aesthetics, and the obsession of putting straight hair and Eurocentric beauty standard on a pedestal instead of valuing Afrocentric standards. As a dark skin black girl I agree there’s a lot of nuance in these conversations but I want to acknowledge that texturism and the pedestaling of straight hair in our community to prevalent enough to where it’s a huge problem and instead of getting offended open your mind because people aren’t trying to attack anyone especially when we try to have these conversations within our own community to grow and progress. I want BW to know that as another black girl who grew up with a mom and family that always told me how beautiful my hair was, didn’t melt my hair off with heat and relaxers from birth to adulthood, whose worn my natural hair since childhood and encouraged to learn how to take care of it and see the beauty in it by most people around me, I just want y’all to know that the obsession with straight hair ISNT NORMAL. Not in all cases but in a lot of cases this straight hair obsession is a product of trauma, bullying, lack of education, discrimination, insecurity, hair dysmorphia, texturism, etc. I know in this video they weren’t talking as much about how Black people can perpetuate texturism but I think it’s a huge part of the conversation because there is so much hate for natural hair in our own community and people feel like we’re trying to attack them when we acknowledge that.
Black, Amish, and podcast are words I never expected to read in the same sentence. How can you have a podcast and be Amish? You're not even supposed to be online. 🤦♀
Live in Amish Ohio-largest concentration of Amish in the world.There are NO biracial Amish,none,not one.Some Mennonite groups may have a very,very few biracial people because there are some (very,very few) black Mennonites.Probably are some strange Pentecostal group that dresses Amish-like.Again-absolutely NO biracial Amish.
I get annoyed when people try to preach about how womem shouldn't wear wigs and weave because "natural hair is beautiful"...ok, maybe...I want to wake up in the morning and go instead of spending hours rehydrating, fluffing, and styling my hair every morning. People do too much worrying about what other people are doing with their bodies.
They aren't Amish and they DEFINITELY DO identify as Black Women. I used to watch Gotta Be Me, but stopped listening when they started talking/giving strong views about politics & then didn't vote. Let them grow up a little more....they will understand by & by. Bless It.
How they identify as a bw when their moms white and their biracial? You think they suffered through getting made fun of at school about how nappy their hair is and why it’s standing up like that??? From whites to blacks their hair type is adored. Biracials do not expirience life the way actual black people do.
I think they are saying “they” is referring to Non-Amish black people. The Amish are their own little group. Everything that they are saying are the same things taught in Amish and other heavily religious teaching so I’m no surprised
It’s really unfortunate that even though other races have conformed to the use of wigs and weave prehistorically; still wigs and weaves are primarily associated with black women. However, the concept is just due to the fact that we have a dependency on wigs and weaves instead of embracing our own hair more than other races. It can be concluded that if we attend a gathering of black people (our people) most of our sisters will be wearing a weave. At a non black gathering you would not see that much hair weave. Take a bag and go around the room. Now, we are getting the most plastic surgery too. We are beautiful but we have been brainwashed to believe that we are not.
I'm sceptical about the Armish claim, they don't talk like the Amish and they sound like they're immersed in popular culture to be giving these opinions, that's literally antithetical to Amish culture. I love the Amish, I've watched alot of docs on them on TH-cam. I hope this isn't a joke and they're not appropriating the Amish culture to give themselves a USP to talk about this. I very much doubt there are so many biracial Amish.
I'm natural hair and no makeup older woman and I am a proponent of the Crown Act. I teach people about the Crown Act and the history of afro hair in America specifically. 5he reason people can have these discussions carelessly is because they lack value in education and history. This also applies to the reproduction rights of women due to ignorance toward the reproductive enslavement of black women 1619-1865 without shame or atonement.
I agree with everything the dermatologist said. She broke it down well. I do agree with the Amish girls on a societal/macro level, but unfortunately their perspective is coming from a privileged, sheltered, young perspective. However, health issues, etc. aside, I think it’s telling that we still tend to gravitate toward hair textures that aren’t our own. I think if we just wore hair that resembled black textures, we could claim self-love and personal preference and it’d be more believable.
Funny story, I met a White Amish boy at a church I was visiting. I later learned that as the months went by, he had a crush on me. I even watched them race their buggies. It was during Rumspringa. On another note, Amish women are taught to be "plain" and that vanity is a sin. I wonder which parent is Black? 🤔
16:00 plus it’s not controversial to recognize blk people have very unique culture circumstances Other groups aren’t really taught to view their features the way blk people are Obviously anyone can have insecurities from personal experience but most insecurities aren’t established culture like the hate for natural hair or blk women
2 things are true : black women should be able to express themselves as they want and choose the aesthetic they feel most authentic in. Just because someone wears wigs and makeup doesn’t automatically equal self hate. There are legit people who enjoy playing dress up as a true hobby male and female. Second, black women look the absolute best in their natural hair and skin. It suits our entirety and once you decolonize your mind you will see what God’s intentions are when he made the masterpiece that is a black woman. They will tell us noses that are too wide , lips that are too full, hair that is too nappy , skin that is too dark is undesirable. Yet no one on this planet can make those features look more harmonious and beautiful like a black woman can. So we should embrace that, and unfortunately the world tells us not too. So many feel forced to conform instead of freely expressing.
I agree with these young ladies for the most part as I am also religious and have had a lot of pruning in regards to my appearance. I used to wear hair textures that did not match my own hair very well because other women made it look cute and did not tell me they were damaging their hair to get it to blend. I went natural just to get bored and damage my type 3 curls to match body wave and straight hair extensions 😩 now I only like my hair or styles that you would expect to see on a black woman. Rather than constantly press my hair to keep it from being noticeably different than my extensions I’d rather just get yaki straight hair and style it as I want it. I LOVE makeup lol but I have had to develop some restraint because I don’t want to be vain at work or at church. I want to serve the Lord where I’m called and sometimes with makeup on I look too “baddie” and out of place. I like being human but there is a way to dress it up and remain natural. Balance is best.
Are they biracial or black? I mean, their phenotype is different from black women. For example, Everytime I am around black women talking about natural hair, I’m always told I do not count when I attempt to enter the conversation, weird.. right. Black people have to make up their mind of what they want, who is included and who is not. Let’s not get offended if these women are amongst their racial phenotype and identifies as biracial, which they are ❤ Did I watch this video… NOT REALLY 😩😐😐
I only clicked because, "Black amish?"But i can't give a damn about what someone's standard of beauty is when it comes to me. Live life. Do what makes you happy.
Give these young ladies credit for talking about these topics. They are barely legal. Side eying them for what?? Black women stop the nonsense. The shit is annoying.
Stop the nonsense? They included an entire collective of black women into a conversation while we were minding our business and you’re telling us to stop the nonsense? What did black women do wrong except exist and respond to their video? If they didn’t want any feedback than why address it? Why don’t they addres white women since their mothers are white? Why does no one address white women, their attire, style, Botox/face lifts/lip fillers/butt implants but is constantly calling out black women who do nothing but mind their business? It’s crazy how we are being manipulated into behaving in nonsense when we were introduced into the discussion and are simply responding
I don’t wear make up so I don’t care but you see how they all have curly hair and not coily hair so don’t tell me wearing a wig is not natural I rock both my hair and wigs
I do think that there’s a seperate lane for bi racial people and their cultural issues But at the same time it’s hard draw a distinct line where that actually begins because genetics are so inconsistent and unpredictable A lot of bi racial people are basically forced into that category and distinction of blk person Obviously it depends on the environment, a larger city with more naturally diverse population is gonna be more accepting of them than a mono racial blk woman
But in a more rural community of almost exclusively conservative white families They’ll often be seen as just a blk person even if they sometimes are given more superficial tolerance But even then it depends because not every biracial person has the “ethnically ambiguous” look Plenty of bi racial people look almost no different from a mono blk person…should they feel the same way Plenty of bi racial people will have kinky hair as well, and might not even have those social advantages associated with being mixed race It just gets very murky upon closer inspection because there’s no consistent look or experience biracial people have Some of them look white, some of them look like they could be anything from Arab to Italian and some of them just look like any other blk person
@@jerm-gv9rvThe one drop rule created alot of confusion and allowed for this mixed race historical hyracrchy over black people. If they were allowed to be in their own category from day one, there would be less confusion.
I agree with coffee. I also want to add that if you’re a biracial and your mother is the white one, there will be a lot more differences than if she was the black one.
@ I mean that’s definitely true But i mean what abt the bi racial people who don’t look multi ethnic…meaning they’re perceived as strictly a blk person by everyone Should they distance their identity and not refer to themselves as blk or speak abt blk issues …would people not assume they have self hatred or arrogance if they did There’s also a lot of public scrutiny given to bi racial people who don’t identify as blk Of course When they look ambiguous it’s more expected for them to do that But “bi racial” has no consistent experience or culture , it’s very dependent on the culture they’re raised around Especially if they’re darker than a paper bag Even if they have a white mom they could still be heavily influenced and shaped by the blk relatives on their fathers side Aunties and cousins who can still give them that experience of being cared for and raised by blk women
Stop being offended by everything damn. These young ladies are very pro black if you follow them. Im not offended by any of their content. There are two main host on the show everyone else is a guest.
@coffeecuties I suspect honeyChild is reacting to the title of the video. Thinking « so what if she said the truth? ». It’s funny how I interpreted it differently but you might be right
@honey if biracial want to address black women then that’s their choice but since I am black and I’m who they are referring to I have the right to respond and discuss what they have correct and incorrect 🤎
“Why yall never ask white/asian/Indian women this?” Bc we’re the only ones who’ve been blatantly told by society that we are the exact opposite of what is acceptable. We are the only ones who were FORCED into assimilating FORCED to cover our natural beauty FORCED to witness other races of women be loved and adored in their truest forms while we’ve always had to work 10 times harder just to be treated with half respect. So yes, when we have conversations about the effects we will be at the forefront cuz who did it have lasting effects on???? Us or the white ppl we were told to be like? Like be so fr im tired of everyone being willfully obtuse.
I agree with you, but we have to be the ones to build self confidence within ourselves. If we never accept and love our hair and keep feeding into the lies they've told us.. we'll never be free and we'd just be confirming those negative ideals to enforce them further. It starts with us. I started my freeform dreads this year and I've been covering my head for years but although I cover my head for spiritual reasons, I wanna remove it. I know that I've had issues with my hair since I was forced to wear perms as a little girl.. I want dreads, particularly freeform without me ever twisting them because I want to accept my 4b 4c hair as is.. especially through the "ugly" stage. To be willing to wear my hair out during this stage and sticking with it no matter how much I think it makes me look "ugly" I know that is just what we are made to feel about ourselves and it's not true.. and what I'm really doing is building self confidence within myself to not give a damn what someone feels about my hair in this state of chaos and allowing what it wants to do instead of what was told to me. Now that's black girl magic.
We can't wait on the world to love us, then we can confidently decide to love us. That love and acceptance has to come from us. Then we can be loved by the world and if we don't then fuck em lol because self love is independent of outside validation.
also, this is a conversation about us as a community, not other communities so there is no need to bring other types of people into the discussion.
@@sibria THANK YOU!! Why tf should we care about what women in other communities are doing? I’m concerned about US! If your kid is havin a hard time learning to read do you point at other kids and be like well Timmy can’t read well either🫵🏾!! No, you’re only worried about your own child, rightfully so. idk why it’s such a hard concept for them to grasp in this specific situation 😭 any other time it doesn’t even have to be addressed. They just wanna deflect bc God forbid we turn inward and reflect on ourselves for once.
I agree with them. To me, it didn’t sound like they were telling black women what to do, they were just praising natural beauty. A lot of black women do feel less than without hair additions and it’s a problem. Many black women in the comments/ on TikTok deflected from this issue by saying that “other races wear extensions” or “just let bw do what they want”. I honestly don’t think most bw want to wear fake hair but they feel like they have no other options because that’s all they know or they are afraid of how they will be perceived.
Yes thy were ,they are both black and white .What about their white cousins who wear makeup, extensions ,lashes and wigs??? Their white side people have makeup tutorials everywhere.Why are they only addressing their black side only??
@@sakuraesther6309Because white women need those things. They don’t have our natural beauty
@@sakuraesther6309Nope. They never talk about white women. Only us and our flaws because we are the only race of women who has flaws and weaknesses. As a black women I sometimes wish I could run away from everyone and everything and live a life of peace. We are not only attacked by everyone online but also attacked by black men too. It’s truly terrible and I’m truly tired.
@@sakuraesther6309I don't care about the makeup but the hair they clearly have coily hair let's be honest majority of blk women aren't wearing extentions like other races their going in the complete opposite others use it as an extension of heir natural texture we usually wearing silky straight when their natural hair is coily . Let's not deflect adress the actual issue .
@@sakuraesther6309 They have type 4 hair, of course they're going to address the demographic they have the most in common with cosmetically wise.
Im a 2b/3c mother with a 4c daughter. Can we be honest about this "natural" thing. There is acceptable natural and these women fit it by mold. My dark skin black self with 2b/3c curls fit it. My duaghter does not. And the vitrol I get for not keeping her neat, espvially when she wears an afro. With a variation of products, ill do us both a wash and go and im being chewed out about my childs hair not being "acceptable" and kept. So i spend hours manipulating her hair to be acceptable. She is 7 now, and i just get her styled the way she wants at the salon. She gets extension hair added on if i have to go through the trouble of always keeping her "natural hair" styled. I tell my daughter to be herself, and i do the same. I cant jive with a message about self love when the crown act had to be signed to help protect women who do wear their natural hair to work and school in some places. This isnt just about beauty enhancements which every woman uses. Its the systemic call out of black women, as if we will be able to walk out the house in our true natural state without someone telling us to "clean it up". And this is coming from a black woman who can just walk out the house with a grease and water style. Let just be honest about this conversation for once.
As a black woman who wears my natural hair everyday, I’m so tired of everyone dragging black women for wearing wigs and weaves. There literally was a LAW passed against black hair discrimination. I myself have faced hair discrimination in the workplace. When I use to work in the office, I had to slick my 3c/4a hair into a bun with a bunch of gel just to get a job. I didn’t wear my hair out until I got the job when I use to work in the office and everytime I wore braids or my hair out my non black coworkers always had something to say. I work from home now and don’t have to be on camera so now I can wear my natural hair freely. I understand that not every black woman has the privilege to work from home or has a work from home job that doesn’t require them to be on camera so of course they will feel pressured to conform to move up in Corporate America. People just need to leave black women alone. 😒
Great points🤎
Exactly, I hate how the reasons why we have a disconnect with our hair is overlooked. And people that don’t understand speak on it. Biracial is not black, their hair is deemed to be beautiful/ good hair. Of course it’s easy for them to say wear your real hair
@@ZHXNELThank you. Y’all’s comments should be the top comments 💯💯💯🎯🎯🎯
This is it! Coming from a Sista who doesn't know a thing about makeup and only wears natural hair and hairstyles I wish folks would leave my sistas alone. Let them wear whatever they want to. We have been policed for far too long, let us live!
This but the worst- military. They literally take tape measure and of course we have so much hair, our bun or braids would be deemed ‘too bulky’. I covered my starter locs with a bad bob wig- bad wig on purpose as a silent protest to having to cover my own beautiful hair. 😢
My problem is some of the responses ignore the reality that we have tons of BW hop online lamenting about their natural hair, skin color, etc in droves. It’s intellectually dishonest to do all this lying to justify wearing wigs
💯🤎🤎🤎
Literally all the time. There are 4C TH-camrs (like Star puppy) whose whole channel has become a journey of how much they hate their hair. Like the disingenuousness is hilarious 😂
@@xshesyourqorqeousxx3ummm that is not what that channel is about. She loves her hair and experiments with it. Her hair even has a nickname (Star Nugget I believe)… so stop lying
@@ashimarqui4800as a person who’s been watch star puppy since dam near 2016 it’s silly to pretend she hasn’t been having a hard time recently liking her hair she even admitted it in her video about how she’s apart of the problem with the natural hair community .
yeah i see bw neg their own hair everyday online. it's weird af tbh. like okay you can have insecurities but to neg it is wild.
i agree with the natural hair. I believe we should embrace our natural hair more. However makeup,lashes and beauty regimens are not a problem. other races of women do it so why cant we. I love my natural hair and my makeup
other races of women alter their natural hair so why cant we?
Me2. I love seeing a black women wear her natural hair styles with reasonable eyelashes.
Make-up and lashes are fine if done in moderation. Many black women overdo it with the makeup and especially the lashes. What happened to wanting your enhancements to look natural?
Many black women don't look like Instagram models in real life @@NamasteInYourLane
I agreee
I could've swore the Amish didn't allow mixing.
They are vey coy about their religion or denomination and don't label themselves Amish.
Or watching tv and consuming popular culture.
I read they do. Most of us don’t want to join a religion that restrictive. And then lots still speak German. Can you picture us wanting to learn the language? And giving up Black men.
@@lizh6578 I see it as more of a culture than a religion.
@wordsbymaribeja1470 and yet it is a Christian religion that are part of the 16th century Protestant Reformation. They believe in Jesus. They’re Anabaptist who came here to escape religious prosecutions. They isolated and still speak German. I think lots of Christians would be comfortable among them save for the lack of Black people. The Black man I knew who was Mennonite and lived in their community, was the only one there. He married had a couple of children with a white woman.
I can't lie. I was not offended at all by what they said.
some black women look to be offended by everything
At all🤌🏽
I thinks it’s that bw want ppl to just leave them tf alone. Talk about something or somebody else. BW doesn’t want to be bothered by other people’s constant opinions and suggestions for them (and no one asked them), that’s not given to anyone else.
Me either… I don’t see why it so much backlash. It’s the messenger vs the message itself.
Ok. Then you wont be offended when i pop up at your home and follow you around everyday and tell you what to wear and how to style your hair daily. This should be fun. No. No problem. I'm trying to be helpful. And I'll also tell people that you encounter on a daily basis that you lack self esteem f so I'm trying to help give you self esteem. Glad to help. 👍😊
What I can’t fathom is how biracial people express how they don’t feel Black enough growing up or didn’t feel accepted by the Black community yet they are always speaking on Black issues. I just wonder why I never hear a biracial person speaking on white issues since they are both..
Right 💯 🤎
If you're a melaninated mixed person you don't experience life as a white person. That's just how it is, biracial people with nore melanin arent magically going to be seen as white because their skin doesn't match theirs. Hence why they talk so much about blackness because that is how they experience life the majority of the time.
Yes there are some privileges but that doesn't take away from the disadvantages either. White people are not going to see you as white if you are mixed, just look at the reception of Nico Parker for her role as astrid in the how to train a dragon live action.
I'm biracial I speak on white issued but I get monotised black people don't like when I speak for white people.
@@adry4710 I’m very aware of that! .. I made this remark as well because those young ladies identify as white.
However, most of them act conflicted as well as obtuse about the situation. Black people accept biracial people more than white people do. Biracial people can’t even cast themselves in a white family for a tv show unless they look white passing! Yet biracial people will still use Black people as a scapegoat when they NEVER have that energy for their white counterparts… a biracial person can always identify as blk or biracial but never as just white.. which we all know is due to the one stop rule white ppl created.
However, they need to stop using blk individuals as a pawn when they face discrimination most of their lives from white ppl… yet never address them.. it’s ridiculous.
@@georgiakline8833 we need more biracial people calling out yt supremacy…
I am not the arbiter of blackness, so I have no interest in whether these young ladies are considered Black or not. However, since the young ladies can't decide whether to use "they" or "we" when speaking about Black women, what comes out of their mouths sounds very condescending.
get over it
They're definitely biracial which I find very interesting. I guarantee their mom is white and dad black. The real question is how did some white Amish woman sneak away and get knocked up by a black man?

My problem is they always address bw and not any other group of women. Ww are the least natural group of women yet bw names are always in every 👏🏾 bodies 👏🏾mouth👏🏾. Its annoying
Yes! Why is no one talking about all the peroxide? Almost all blonde kids get darker once they’re adults, most blonde hair we see is bleached.
Facts.
they did address it
Because white women and Asian women actually need those things to stand out. They need lip injections, BBLs, nose jobs, coutured make-up, lashes, etc.
The point is that black women's natural beauty often doesn't need all of those extra enhancements. Less is more with black women.
First of all, black women's name isn't always in everyone's mouth. You just follow content creators that center their content around black women.
Maybe step outside of the black box and you'll realize everyone isn't talking about black women.
Secondly, people are allowed to have their opinions about black women just like black women have their opinions about any and every thing they want.
Lastly, the way black women have been grooming themselves the last decade comes off very clownish and I'm a black woman saying this. It's gotten so bad that black women are now being compared to trans women and drag queens. That's embarrassing.
@28:50 They are technically mixed race women in their early 20s. They are adults.
Stop making excuses and giving them passes.
Black women are already talking to black women about loving ourselves naturally, we don't need no one else to speak on us!!!
Sure but these women would be treated like black women on the streets and by any other community. So they get a pass.
Most women dress to attract men. This has been true for a long time. When men start looking for women who look like these Amish women, we’ll all toss our wigs, makeup, and get ourselves some of the latest Amish fashions.
Now, one thing I’d like to point out is that the Amish generally don’t want to be photographed. These women are appearing on video. Maybe they’re Mennonite . Just a thought as I have known biracial Mennonite and they live among the Amish. They are religiously related and work together as the Mennonite embrace modern technology and the Amish don’t.
During basic training, we were not allowed to wear makeup, and our hair was required to be in a bun. After months of seeing women without makeup, grown-out brows, skin blemishes and texture, and the little mustache hairs that sometimes appear, adjusting back to women wearing full faces of makeup was off-putting. It took me a while to acclimate to. I wish we could keep it simple and natural like the Amish, but that is not how it works outside of their community
I think that other people or races should definitely mind their own business and stay out of ours we as black women are beautiful period wings or no wings short hair or long hair
Black Women should definitely stay out of Non Black Women business and do not make commentary about what's happening in other communities.
There were several incidents where students were not allowed to walk across the stage to get their high school diploma because of their hair. Also, there was a young man who was going to be disqualified during a wrestling match if he didn't allow the ref to cut his hair. The ref cut his locs and it caused an outrage! I'm a bad bitch because I'm graduating with a doctoral degree and I fly fisrt class when I travel. I leave the coutry twice a year and I do it all in twist with no hair added! Im natural and fabulous but others can define Bad B as she choses.
Why does it bother some people so much about what other people think? If you are at peace with your decisions, then be at peace.
🤎🤎🤎
Many black women have repeatedly said that they like their hair and skin in many of the videos. Someone just making up wild stories about low self esteem is just falsely accusing black women. That's false witnessessing. Commandment number 9. No Christian pointed that out but I am. Not only will I not be at peace with breaking commandment number 9, (lying on someone) I'm asking God to drag them to he||.
Agreed, life is too short, BW don't owe anyone anything or any explanation, our body is our own no one else's and i think people should go with what makes them happy and comfortable at all times. What matters is the person you are inside and the relationships you form in this life.
36:00 You don't have to defend biracials you've choosen to and the point is that the 'discrimination' that biracials face is biracial business, I don't think there's competition but there is the need to stay in your lane on the discrimination each group faces because that these girls uniformerly have white mothers says alot.
alot of people are multiracial it's not that deep. Biracial is not on the census.
The ideas, thoughts, teachings, and words of their Caucasian mothers are coming out of their biracial mouths..as child rearing is meant to do...whats even stranger is that this was chosen as a subject matter in their homes..their mothers, ultimately are trying to mold the minds of the Black community through their biracial children
And this is only one area and thought process of life they want to alter or feel as though they have affected
@@GGGG-uj1no You sound just like me on this comment, I 100% agree that it is the mother's role, and rightly so, to inculcate the child with their culture and values, but I really think this is coming from the black fathers. It is black men that has given people the licence to think they can denigrate and dissect black women's chosen aesthetics, white women follow because black men paved the way and we need to understand that we don't know (though we can suspect) the extent of the interractions between black men and white women but black men have been pursuing them openly for most of the 20th century and now the 21st century using the denigration of black women as bait.
Them being biracial makes me wonder why ar they only addressing black women??? There are white and biracial women who wear makeup ,nails , extensions , wigs and etc .WHY ARE THEY ONLY COMING FROM FULL BLACK WOMEN???
And yes this is coming from a Naturalista through and through.
They should advice their biracial sisters and white sisters
These two girls even said they aren’t black, they said they consider themselves white. It’s so sickening that they sit from the exterior of the black woman world and zoomed in with a critical eye and started running their mouth about black women. They momma is white, so they need to talk about yt women.
The difference is white and non BW wear weave that matches their own texture. Unfortunately most BW usually wear weaves that is the exact opposite of their own hair.
@@myar9759That still doesn’t answer “why address bw”… leave bw alone.
1. They weaves that are their texture. When they start wearing 4c hair then I think they would get the same backlash
2. There was a study only 21% of black women were found to wear their natural hair year round. While 90 percent of Wyte women were natural year round
Hopefully you see the difference
@@jasminscarbrough2596Who were the people they polled for these statistics? It's way more than 21% of us that do not use hair extensions and wear our natural hair year round. How many of the white women they polled and include in that 90% use heat tools on their hair?
I feel like so many people tell black women how beautiful and unique they are AS IS, that there isn’t much need for modification (wigs, lashes, etc) and instead of taking those observations and applying them, black women get offended and defiant about doing the exact opposite.
Agree
@@Austinflwrz we know all these things but just like all groups of women we like options and it not be such a big deal
@@cartercarter2837many of us don't use it for options or versatility though. Many use it as a crutch and there in lies the problem.

😂😂😂 so true!!! I think it has a lot more to do with WHO is actually having the conversation. If the girls had been darker, with visible signs of kinkier hair, I don’t think it would’ve gone viral.
Why is it that when someone praises natural hair and criticize wigs, it’s rage bait?
I think my 4c hair is so beautiful and royal. Everything groups ⬆️UP including our hair.
I personally don’t view praising 4c hair as race baiting but criticizing black women for what they do what their 4c hair can be depending on intention🤎
6:30 THIS IS SPOT ON. I'm a 4c haired girly and I'd rather much see someone who has 4c speak on the issue like this but they are right on this point right here. the way bw are obsessed over weave is sickening. They're washing sew ins on their scalp SMOTHERING THEIR natural hair is straight up mental illness imo. We complain about systemic racism but uphold this ONE part of it because most BW think their hair is that disgusting and ugly. I thought this too as a child and used to hide my hair because I couldn't care for it like the 1a hair types. But now in my 30s I wear my natural hair, no heat added even. I WISH I had been saved as a young girl. Now is better than never. But I'm worried for our younger generations. :(
Now wait a damn minute lmao. I thought it was a sin for the Amish to take pictures. That doesn't apply to video??? I'm confused 🤔
I don’t think they are Amish
Perhaps Mennonite, but another poster mentioned a different religion. I wonder where people came up with them being Amish?
who cares
Yeah they are not Amish. Someone assumed that's what they were based on their way of dressing.
They are not strict Amish, some are stricter than others.
They are not Amish. Amish women cover their hair with a stiff cap at all times and restrict excessive use of buttons. they only show their hair to their husbands and those braids would be seen as vanity.
Probably Mennonite
Oh they're a part of a cult actually lol. Church of God Restoration.
If you😂 rely too much on extensions and wigs as opposed to wearing your own natural hair, i understand some of these messages can put you on the defensive. But i am starting to get irritated at everyone having something to say about black hair😂. I am currently on an extension free journey myself but I wear wigs to switch things up sometimes. But as much as i like wearing my twists and plats with no synthetic extensions/braiding hair, sometimes wigs are just so convenient😂. Especially those human hair half wigs that don't be messing the edges❤. I love to do the kinky and kinky straight ones. So nice.
@@4cberry 💯
I am a natural girl through and through and I hate everything they say.Why can't they address fellow biracials or their white side???
Why are they talking about us?? We can do it ourselves
I don’t need biracials speaking for black women if you not fully black don’t speak for black women especially when you benefit from colorism
I understand this point completely but as a fully black dark skin girl I honestly agree with everything they say and how they speak up to push and encourage conversations that we ourselves tend to ignore or be afraid of.
Be careful with what you call colorist.
Imagine 2 MAGAs from 2 worlds (our world and an alternate world).
In both worlds, BLM accuses them of being racist.
Our MAGA denies being racist (like they do with project 2025). The alternate MAGA accepts the racist label like they would accept the label, "Pro Gun".
You, as a BLM supporter; would you rather debate, "Is MAGA racist?" or debate, "Is Racism good?"? Because the 1st at least implies that racism isn't something anyone wants to be associated with.
There is a price with calling a spade a spade; if people do that, then the spade is no longer, from a social standpoint, as much of a spade; it becomes more of a spear.
If you want the word, "racist" to stay a spear, then be careful with what you call racist. If you are fine with it being a spear, then call whatever you want racist.
@@aitanabrooks614you need to dig a little deeper into the internet. There are plenty of videos of bw women addressing matters such as these. These girls are just copying what those other bw have been saying all along.
With a white mom at that. Can 100% bet majority of the people she is around daily is white, so what makes you get up to speak on a group of women you know nothing of??? A domesticated house cat can’t teach a lion a zamn thing.
Even a broken clock is right twice a, day. Light makeup, natural hair, and losing weight is the cheat code. Even if you don’t plan on getting married or having kids, leveling up is a game changer.
You don’t have to like the messenger or tone. But there is a seed of, truth(in what they’re saying).
3:20 I’m glad they noted the separation. They are not and should not be labeled BW or touted as representative of BW. Because the separation becomes much more clear when only ‘BW’ of that shade and hair type gets the ad campaign/ leading role, or the state/national beauty title, or some low value entertainer rich man. Then folks acknowledge they are not necessarily black. The distinction is importance to me. Just my POV.
They’re not Amish they’re in a cult.

@@legslikewhoa 😂
In my opinion, the best way black women can express self love, especially regarding 4c natural hair is for us to utilize its versatility. We can do so many different intricate styles in our hair, it saddens me when we put ourselves in a box on what bw should look like when we can quite literally look different every week.
With peace and love bw are free to do whatever we want, instead of calling bw ugly and we need to change, lets start calling out the world for what they did to make bw feel ugly.
🤎🤎🤎
Imo people are upset about the messager and not the message. Why cant biracial women speak on this? When blk women COMPLAIN about natural hair and reinforce the idea of natural hair being "hard" etc...they arent doing it infront of just blk people, but infront of the whole world so y wouldnt other (black, biracial or not) form opinions on this.
If these biracial women were spreading the "good hair" narative it would have been problem. Here they are trying to WELCOME and spread the idea of natural being beautiful and its STILL considered a problem by people who deem biracials as superior. MANY ppl dont like the fact that THEY are saying this because they natural have the texture a lot of bw (who say natural hair is "hard" etc) want to have/achieve...
They are not blk. They have white mothers they should speak about about white women.
They can absolutely speak on it. But they’re ignoring so many complexities when you’re not a “mixed” black woman. Can we agree that they would never be teased, bullied, outcast, or treated as less based on their appearance alone? Will they have the same experiences as a dark skin, 4C textured black woman? No. And I think if they had just mentioned that, it would’ve solidified the entire discussion. I loved what they said! But I can see why so many others took offense.
@CoilyCode there are no complexities. We can't have it both ways. We can't complain about being "bullied" for our natural hair one minute and then complain and play oppression Olympics because a biracial woman says our hair is beautiful. There is nothing they need to "understand". We aren't kids, we're a full grown adults that have numerous resources to deal with and adress any trauma that has given has body or hair dysmorphia, we can't keep expecting people to tip toe around us and encourage all unhealthy habits just because of a difficult past. At the end of the day, the idea that EVERYONE is wearing a wig because of severe bullying or because they can't get jobs is a lie, a lie ppl like to tell themselves and others to guilt trip everyone into thinking this is normal or should be normal when it isn't and shouldn't be. If we don't biracials to make vids like this then maybe we shouldn't keep complaining so publicly
@amenajackson8133 cool then maybe we should also only speak om black issues on black spaces? Maybe let's start by not addressing things on youtube at all
@@amenajackson8133 Since when are black men Amish? 😭😭
Hair loss issues is absolutely because of "protective styles"...acting like its just hormonal issues is a lie. Black men have the same texture and yet they are less like likely to suffer from alopecia than white men meanwhile blk women are more likely to suffer from alopecia than white women. Ppl forget that our hair strands have cells, meaning they NEED fresh air, they need oxygen to thrive. We dont give our hair enough air to just be and breath. So many industries have benefited from us because of the protective hairstyle lie. Protective styling in winter AND summer? Our hair was made for summer weather and yet even then ppl dint want to wear it out because of "frizz"? Perm was invented in the US and has given bw so many health issues. Synthetic braiding hair invented in Japan and again has given bw and is still leading to many health issues. Afro hair products, products that focus on styling and "definition" instead og afro hair HEALTH is continously being exposed to toxic chemicals that arent even legal in many EU countries.
If a woman has long hair despite wearing wigs 90 percent of the yr, its not because she is looking after her hair or because WIGS are making the hair grow... its genetics and people are being fooled whilst losing edges
I would have agreed with you five years ago, but I do think there’s more to alopecia than just synthetic hair and topical chemicals. My mother went natural 23 years ago with all of her hair, but started losing her hair 15 years later. She never wore wigs or weave, and she washed her hair on a weekly basis. I was perplexed! There’s something else at play. I think there’s a spiritual component at work. It’s the only thing that makes sense to me.
@A_Wilson I'm no expert but I think the products we use plays a role in this too. We wear more products than ther race and for longer. Other races wear products to but they wash their hair more frequently, we on the other hand wash our hair less because of our coils and put more products on our scalps for longer. A lot of the products sold to black people contain toxic ingredients that sure, might make our hair grow (or not) but aren't actually healthy for our scalp. On top of that we have been conditioned to believe our hair is "strong" meaning when we style our hair, even when we think it's not tight, it's still too tight for our hair strands. Since our hair is curly, we often don't even feel or know when one strand is being pulled too much.
@mimiad397 I have no idea what your trying to pull but no most black women white owned products because they make everything and they are not quick to sell their companies hair loss is a 100% genetics or due to blood issues and hormone change
I can't believe your comparing black women to men black men don't commonly have these issues because they are men women go through a lot of body changes literally every month it's not the same there certainly more factors than just fake hear
Fake wear is nothing new and has been woren for changes even by white people after they saw black Africans wearing wigs why do you think the was that oh period of white people wearing white fake hair no in that time seemed to suffer from hair loss despite them wearing wigs everyday everywhere be for real
hair is dead. hair cells are literally dead. they don't need oxygen to breathe because they aren't alive. this is simple science. the hair cells are alive before they emerge from the scalp though just not after.
With the rise in uterine fibroids, endometriosis, PCOS, etc., especially in Black women, I agree. Those issues are leading to fertility issues now too. There’s something in our beauty products causing our community to see a rise more than any other group of women. Pharmaceutical companies took notice 5-6 years ago and started doing clinical trials to study the increase too, so people are noticing the rise.
I agree as well…and I did a video recently about the toxins in our beauty products 🤎
They aren't amish though. They belong to a sect called "the Church of God." I think it's more Pentecostal than anything. The whole video on their youtube channel was very cute and wholesome. Kinda feels like they're in a cult, but they do seem happy where they're at.
You've heard of them? They don't sound Amish at all. They sound like they're very immersed in popular culture and current issues and the accents aren't Amish.
@wordsbymaribeja1470 I watched some of their podcasts where they clearly explained they are not amish, and who they actually are and why they dress the way they do.
@@BionAvastar3000 Thanks for clarifying, I was so confused. This is the first I've heard of them, I still don't know who they are.
From the clips, (because I didn't watch their whole episode), they didn't say anything that wasn't true. However, I think that Amish religion is very much LAW, and that's what it's giving, a slightly tone deaf perspective. They probably feel this way about makeup, clothes, etc... And it's easy for people who live by the law to condemn what goes against it, or at least what goes against their appearance of extreme holiness. Cuz, we've all fallen short. And these girls are young, not saying that they're not right, but I believe with maturity, they'll understand that it's a journey for us all. As much as I'd love to see black women embrace their natural God-given design, it is unrealistic and unfair to expect us all to embrace it (if that makes sense). Everyone has their own pace at which they grow. More and more of us are rocking our natural hair. This isn't a new discussion, but I think as it is brought up, we just continue to aim toward that mark of total acceptance. Everyone isn't going to go to heaven fully accepting the way God made them. and in the church setting as a whole, we haven't done a good job of affirming black women and their natural beauty for a LOOOOOONG time. So, I agree with what these girls said, I wish they had at least took into consideration that they are literally the beauty standard of the black community, and potentially some parts in the western world. Anyway, my two cents :D
Thanks for commenting and I completely agree…I don’t have a problem with what they said I just wish they would have acknowledged there’s a lot of nuance to these conversations and acknowledged their experience as biracial women is going to be different then monoracial women….not saying one is better or worse than the other but it is differences🤎
@@CoffeeCuties777 Exactly! They ignored that HUGE piece of the conversation that would've helped black women digest it a little better haha.
This is the best comment, everything said here clearly explains everything that needs to be explained.
Journey?? Stop it.
They can also take into account the Crown Act. It's still legal to discriminate against natural hair in 25 states.
For the sake of conversation, maybe the girls third person-ed black women because they don’t identify with the average black woman’s struggle in society, and not that they don’t see themselves as black idrk🤷🏽♀️ just a thought.
So the first girl was giving mean girl, and she says that black women know that we don’t need lashes and things that, and instead, it’s because we have access to these items and that’s why we wear lashes, nails, wigs, etc…but there was a time in highschool when I couldn’t leave the house if my edges weren’t done. A style wasn’t finished if my edges weren’t done. I felt ugly and unpresentable and you can’t tell me there aren’t black women that feel the same way about wigs and weaves. Then one day I made myself go out without my edges done everyday. I thought it was foolish to allow something like that to hinder me from walking in confidence. I don’t believe it’s access, I believe it’s insecurity for a lot of us. The second girl was giving insecure as well, because like you said…the baddie esthetic doesn’t = straight hair 36” bussdown. The third girl mentioned how she’d love to wear her hair but can’t because she’s dealing with hair loss…but notice how it’s a straight wig🤨. The whole talk about makeup, is a different thing. It’d be in the same conversation if us black women were wearing foundation 2-3 shades lighter than our actual skin but we’re not. I really can’t stand when other races are brought the into the conversation because I feel like it’s just a deflection. We are addressing what affects our community.
Lastly, it’s fine to acknowledge our past and how that has hindered us to this day, but we perpetuate the pain by deciding to damage our hair and scalps by continuing wearing hair that is not ours or making our hair look like something that it’s not. If the root of the issue is insecurity, then wearing wigs, using straightening tools, and sometimes even braids👀… is like putting a bandaid on a festering wound. We need to find healing and there is empowerment in wearing your natural hair, styling your natural hair, loving and embracing your natural hair.
@Carlito_sWay482. I agree 100% 💕💜

You keep lumping biracial women in the black category and get offended when they identify and behave like the biracials they are. They are not black. They are BIRACIAL. They don't identify as black. They NEVEER will identify as black. Because they have a whole parent of another race that separates them from black people. They will ALWAYS prefer their proximity to whiteness.
“Biracial Amish” is an oxymoron. 😂😂
They adopt so they’re not all inbred.
IT really is, I suspect we'll soon hear that they're clout chasing but along with it they're appropriating and distorting a people's culture. There is nothing about them that sounds Amish, the Amish don't watch TV and consume popular culture so where are they getting these talking points and these accents? Also the racial angle? Amish how?
@wordsbymaribeja1470 this is just lazy reporting. They don't identify as Amish, they are simply religious and dress plainly.
@@disneytoysr4fun975 Thanks for clarifying.
I live in Pennsylvania there are black amish people. It is rare but they do exist...

I have kinky 4b/4c hair, I stopped wearing wigs a while ago and I receive the most compliments when my hair is in a natural fro, it’s extremely large and when blown out my hair is lower back. I get the most compliments from men (all non black men). Wear your hair with confidence and learn how to style your fro or whatever 🤷🏽♀️

She looks a dmn mess like the lion from the wiz. The call coming from inside the house
Girl she doesn't even realise this is hope the comments check her because unfortunately many black women are too quick to jump bs.
This is not a beauty competition. Stop replacing confidence with validation.
The responses to their video is very telling. Without digging- you can’t tell if these women are biracial or Amish. When i scrolled upon it, their message was taken for what it is. It was only when i went to the comments did i start applying nuance to the message and messengers. The gag is, black women chose to focus on discrediting the messenger rather than actually responding to the message and creating a space to converse. It’s always “what about (insert nonblack race) ???” As if what white/asian/hispanic women are doing have anything to do with wtf we’re doing. We’re the first ones to tell ppl to stay on topic and not deflect yet that’s all i seen in those comments. These same women turn around and degrade each other depending on how “laid” these crazy ass hair hats are on their heads. But when someone comes in and says “yall all look crazy asf” nowwwww we should be minding our business and keeping our comments to ourselves 😭. They can tell you your natural hair is nappy and dry all day with no consequences tho.
I’ve watched a few of their youtube videos/podcasts. They aren’t Amish. Well, they don’t identify as Amish 🤷🏾♀️
13:53 oh y'all definitely do think you're not beautiful without it though lol. That's why you'll hide your natural hair if you don't have wigs, weave, or braids in public but won't wear sunglasses to hide the fact that you don't have those bushy caterpillar lashes on.
Her admitting she "NEEDS" it means she ain't as bad as she think she is without it lol she seems psychotic as well.
Yes hair/body Dysmorphia is a real thing amongst many black women unfortunately 🤎
I love a natural woman sporting her natural beauty ❤❤❤
Some of this also comes from their religion: no makeup, no pants etc.
True🤎
Stop claiming biracial as black and get mad when they say things like this
They are not black they are in fact biracial 🤎
Also the only woman I will listen to about black hair is BLACK WOMEN. I’m not listening to mixed women. A black woman can critique black women on our relationship with our hair since they are black with the same hair as me but not mixed women with type 3a/3b hair.
I personally agree I rather black women with type 4 hair be in charge of these conversations…I feel the same way about my hair stylist as well🤎
For black women with healthy scalps (no scalp conditions) and healthy skin (including some minor regular pimples), why do you cover your natural hair (using synthetic or human hair, extensions, etc.) and wear heavy makeup? Also, why do you fight so hard against natural beauty? Finally, If you no longer have access to those materials that you have to buy, what will you do, and how will you feel about yourself? I genuinely want to understand.
My hair requires too much time and maintenance to style regularly, so I wear braids most of the time and my hair on occasion. It’s convenient and not weather sensitive. I don’t wear makeup unless it’s a special occasion or if I’m taking pictures. Once again, convenience. If I have to wear my hair I will and be just fine. Braids are just easier.
@@creedom5676 Thank you for your insights and sharing your journey. I can completely understand. I have 4b hair, which was high maintenance, time-consuming, and not growing past my neck. Then I used to do feed-in braids using synthetic hair of a similar texture. Over time, it dried out my real hair, it was costly and time consuming as well and not growing, still breaking off. Five years ago, I made the best decision for me, which was to loc my hair. Semi-freeform, no to minor maintenance, only using Dr. Bronner's bar soap and argan oil products. My hair is healthy, past the bra strap, does not stop growing. Regardless of the weather, it still looks good. I wake up, go, and look beautiful. It truly changed my life, diet, and how I move in this world, all for the better. My only regret was not locking it sooner.
I completely get your point. For me I believe that we didn't grow up doing our hair and as adults we cant handle the maintenance it requires because we never learned. Our hair doesn't magically become unmanageable as adults we don't learn the skills to maintain it. I feel so silly for just realizing this yesr that I could wear my natural hair in protective styles without added hair. It's crazy to think putting 22 inch extensions on chin length hair wouldn't stress the folicile especially given our hair is so fragile. I think all we can do is raise our sons and daughters to love their hair and not allow alternatives until we know it is for an aesthetic and not rooted in any insecurities
I'm more curious about the filter usage. The filters that change their features into features that resemble....someone else.
I don’t think she has a point at all!! Her hair is mixed textured 😂! Talk to me when you know the true struggle
It would make more sense if biracial women just focused on other biracial women because sometimes they don’t even want to be grouped with either race. Sometimes they want their own identity. Nonetheless, they could’ve discussed how biracial women should love their natural curls as well. Put the flat iron down sometimes sis 🤷🏽♀️
I agree 🤎🤎
❗️❗️❗️❗️
She told the truth
Also, our hair is our GLORY and has spiritual connections. Covering your ENTIRE head with a wig made from someone else’s hair/DNA is a ritual.
I can definitely see that for sure🤎
I had to comment on that video: this is what I had to say: Sorry, a bit long
Hey everyone! 😊 I normally don’t comment, but I felt compelled to share my thoughts on this topic because, honestly, it feels like we’re hearing the same perspectives over and over again, and it’s becoming a bit boring. I don’t mean to sound rude or dismissive of anyone’s feelings, but as a Black woman, I believe it’s important to acknowledge that every Black person has a unique experience.
Let me introduce myself-I’m a dark-skinned girl from both Portuguese and Angolan heritage. Growing up, the Angolan culture didn’t expose me much to makeup or hairstyles like wigs and weaves; in fact, having these styling techniques is often considered a luxury due to the cost involved. This was similar in Portugal, where I didn’t have many Black hairstylists available. The only hairstylist I had was a lovely white lady named Margarida, who was a neighbour and a friend’s mom.
When I moved to the UK and now live in Scotland, my hair journey took on a whole new dimension. My parents have always showered me with compliments since I was a baby, and I’ve been blessed with full lips and big, beautiful afro hair. I even decided to cut my hair to a medium length! My dad has fantastic taste when it comes to hairstyles and has always provided honest advice, and my mum’s support has been invaluable too. They taught me to love myself as I am, and I’m proud to say that my partner loves me just the way I am, too. I made it clear from the beginning that I’m not someone who feels pressure to fit a particular mold; I embrace my natural beauty.
I wear my hair in various styles-sometimes I let it out in all its coily glory, sometimes I rock braids, and other times I go for a blowout. Society often labels certain hair textures as having privilege, but I truly believe that it’s not about the texture you have; it’s about how you carry yourself with confidence and pride, no matter what.
As a Christian, I believe in exercising my free will, and I choose to enhance my beauty in the ways that make me feel most awake and confident. I don’t wear makeup often because I prefer to keep things simple. Honestly, applying makeup can feel too time-consuming for me, and I love resting my hands without worrying about stains!
I know this might sound harsh, but if you feel you can’t step outside without your wig or makeup, it might be worth reflecting on that. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to enhance your beauty, as long as you’re comfortable in your skin. I’ve experienced my fair share of challenges, but I decided long ago that I’m not here to please anyone but myself.
Working in an environment where I’m one of the few Black people, I wear my hair in the way that makes me feel good, not to fit into a mold. People appreciate my confidence and attitude, and that’s how my family raised me.
That brings me to what I really want to say: When discussing topics like this, it’s crucial to include the voices of Black and African women. It feels repetitive to hear the same recycled comments from non-Black and biracial women, and let me tell you-I know some people may take longer to heal and deal with their past, which is perfectly okay.
Let’s embrace the new year with open minds; it’s time to leave outdated comments in the past. I have biracial nieces, and we’re teaching them to be proud of their unique backgrounds. It’s wonderful to see representation, but it’s equally important for biracial individuals to share their experiences honestly.
To all the Black girls out there: Do whatever you want with your hair! It’s your hair and your business. You’d be surprised by how many people-from all backgrounds-love seeing you embrace your natural beauty, whether that’s with straight hair, natural curls, or colored styles.
Let’s stop making assumptions about each other and resist the urge to comment on videos that perpetuate stereotypes about Black women. I’m not here to bring negativity; I just want us to see the beauty in our diverse experiences. Thank you for reading! 💖
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with embracing your natural coily hair…you made a lot of great points..and yes at the end of the day though I personally center coily hair on this channel as the beauty standard it’s a black women choice how she decides to wear her hair. This channel is to lay out all perspectives so the best decision can be made🤎
@@CoffeeCuties777 Thank you so much; I am grateful for your response; you TH-cam page is fantastic.
They said nothing wrong
Then why didn't they call out white women ,biracial women and Asian women who ALL wear heavy makeups ,and extensions??? Why are they calling out full black women??
I@@sakuraesther6309I could be wrong here, but I feel like they are calling out black women specifically because, and you can correct me if I'm wrong😅 from what I've seen online, black women would come online and complain about their dislike for their hair and features and so on cause I've never really seen latinas, Asians or Caucasian women really complain or have some self hatred towards themselves due to being a different race.
I just think it's a little odd how when black women come online and complain and then get shocked when people come online and say negative things about them , but when someone is trying to give praises (like the biracial women, who probably meant no harm) they get upset, it makes no sense because they come online to the world and talk about how much they hate themselves, but that's just me.
But kindly feel free to correct me😊❤
@@sakuraesther6309stop deflecting if you want those convos go to those communities bc they are talking about it .
@@sakuraesther6309pls name another race of woman that was FORCED to assimilate in the way we were. Name another race that has historically been mistreated depending on how kinky their hair is. Name another race of woman that has the same relationship with hair that we do…other races of women not being included in this convo should actually tell you that there’s nothing inherently wrong with wearing weave and makeup since it’s clear as day that we ALL participate in beauty standards. The reason black women are constantly called to the stage is bc we’re the main ones being abused by the beauty standard. We’re always the blueprint but never the model. What other races of women categorizes certain hair types as “good hair”??? who else misses work/events because their “hair isn’t did”? Who else refers to their natural hair as “childish” but will proudly put bows and clips in loose textured weave/wig for a fun look? so quick to deflect and make excuses. The reality is that black women have a unique experience and relationship with our hair and we will continue to have these conversations until we can raise the next gen without the same pressures to assimilate that we had. All women do these things but they don’t have the same effects and consequences on them as they do us.
I think people get confused in conversations of encouraging BW to wear their natural hair. Lashes and makeup is enhancing your natural features it’s a form of self expression for people of any race it isn’t a problem at all, when most people argue against lace fronts and bundles they are discouraging the texturism and hair dysmorphia that BW who are reliant on and only wear textures that aren’t their own hair textures exhibit often. Talking down on type 4 hair all the time, perpetuating texturism, saying that naturals aren’t beautiful and can’t fit into “baddie” aesthetics, and the obsession of putting straight hair and Eurocentric beauty standard on a pedestal instead of valuing Afrocentric standards. As a dark skin black girl I agree there’s a lot of nuance in these conversations but I want to acknowledge that texturism and the pedestaling of straight hair in our community to prevalent enough to where it’s a huge problem and instead of getting offended open your mind because people aren’t trying to attack anyone especially when we try to have these conversations within our own community to grow and progress. I want BW to know that as another black girl who grew up with a mom and family that always told me how beautiful my hair was, didn’t melt my hair off with heat and relaxers from birth to adulthood, whose worn my natural hair since childhood and encouraged to learn how to take care of it and see the beauty in it by most people around me, I just want y’all to know that the obsession with straight hair ISNT NORMAL. Not in all cases but in a lot of cases this straight hair obsession is a product of trauma, bullying, lack of education, discrimination, insecurity, hair dysmorphia, texturism, etc. I know in this video they weren’t talking as much about how Black people can perpetuate texturism but I think it’s a huge part of the conversation because there is so much hate for natural hair in our own community and people feel like we’re trying to attack them when we acknowledge that.
Black, Amish, and podcast are words I never expected to read in the same sentence. How can you have a podcast and be Amish? You're not even supposed to be online. 🤦♀
I guess they are about of a different Christian sector…I’m not 100 percent sure but TikTok is referring to them as Amish🤎
lol biracial Amish told me all I needed to know😂.
lol 😂
Live in Amish Ohio-largest concentration of Amish in the world.There are NO biracial Amish,none,not one.Some Mennonite groups may have a very,very few biracial people because there are some (very,very few) black Mennonites.Probably are some strange Pentecostal group that dresses Amish-like.Again-absolutely NO biracial Amish.
They aren't Amish. Someone assumed it and did a reaction video calling them Amish. Other reactors assumed it as well.
They are Church of God (holiness). They spoke about it on a different episode.
Yes I assumed they were based off the assumptions of others🤎
Great chat! Definitely something to think about
I get annoyed when people try to preach about how womem shouldn't wear wigs and weave because "natural hair is beautiful"...ok, maybe...I want to wake up in the morning and go instead of spending hours rehydrating, fluffing, and styling my hair every morning.
People do too much worrying about what other people are doing with their bodies.
They aren't Amish and they DEFINITELY DO identify as Black Women. I used to watch Gotta Be Me, but stopped listening when they started talking/giving strong views about politics & then didn't vote. Let them grow up a little more....they will understand by & by. Bless It.
How they identify as a bw when their moms white and their biracial?
You think they suffered through getting made fun of at school about how nappy their hair is and why it’s standing up like that??? From whites to blacks their hair type is adored. Biracials do not expirience life the way actual black people do.
For me its a spiritual issue. Just want to be how the Lord made me. But you do you!
🤎🤎🤎🤎
If Kamala black....they black! And so am i 😂😂😂
Kamala is not black she’s mixed 🤎
Girl byeeeeeeeeee
I think they are saying “they” is referring to Non-Amish black people. The Amish are their own little group. Everything that they are saying are the same things taught in Amish and other heavily religious teaching so I’m no surprised
That’s a great perspective🤎
It’s really unfortunate that even though other races have conformed to the use of wigs and weave prehistorically; still wigs and weaves are primarily associated with black women. However, the concept is just due to the fact that we have a dependency on wigs and weaves instead of embracing our own hair more than other races. It can be concluded that if we attend a gathering of black people (our people) most of our sisters will be wearing a weave. At a non black gathering you would not see that much hair weave. Take a bag and go around the room. Now, we are getting the most plastic surgery too. We are beautiful but we have been brainwashed to believe that we are not.
I agree🤎🤎🤎
The last sentence!!! That’s the issue, but it never gets talked about.
I'm sceptical about the Armish claim, they don't talk like the Amish and they sound like they're immersed in popular culture to be giving these opinions, that's literally antithetical to Amish culture. I love the Amish, I've watched alot of docs on them on TH-cam. I hope this isn't a joke and they're not appropriating the Amish culture to give themselves a USP to talk about this. I very much doubt there are so many biracial Amish.
They are Church of God not Amish.
Ive been natural since highschool just waiting for when itll be finally recognize qnd popular lol
Sorry I meant wigs or no wigs I love your channel thank you coffee cuties

I'm natural hair and no makeup older woman and I am a proponent of the Crown Act. I teach people about the Crown Act and the history of afro hair in America specifically. 5he reason people can have these discussions carelessly is because they lack value in education and history. This also applies to the reproduction rights of women due to ignorance toward the reproductive enslavement of black women 1619-1865 without shame or atonement.
What I eat dont make you poop !
She didn’t lie
I agree with everything the dermatologist said. She broke it down well. I do agree with the Amish girls on a societal/macro level, but unfortunately their perspective is coming from a privileged, sheltered, young perspective. However, health issues, etc. aside, I think it’s telling that we still tend to gravitate toward hair textures that aren’t our own. I think if we just wore hair that resembled black textures, we could claim self-love and personal preference and it’d be more believable.
I agree🤎🤎🤎
They are not Amish! Research is important.
I realize that now…thanks for watching 🤎🤎🤎
Funny story, I met a White Amish boy at a church I was visiting. I later learned that as the months went by, he had a crush on me. I even watched them race their buggies. It was during Rumspringa. On another note, Amish women are taught to be "plain" and that vanity is a sin. I wonder which parent is Black? 🤔
Oh interesting…The fathers are black🤎
16:00 plus it’s not controversial to recognize blk people have very unique culture circumstances
Other groups aren’t really taught to view their features the way blk people are
Obviously anyone can have insecurities from personal experience but most insecurities aren’t established culture like the hate for natural hair or blk women
Great point🤎
2 things are true : black women should be able to express themselves as they want and choose the aesthetic they feel most authentic in. Just because someone wears wigs and makeup doesn’t automatically equal self hate. There are legit people who enjoy playing dress up as a true hobby male and female.
Second, black women look the absolute best in their natural hair and skin. It suits our entirety and once you decolonize your mind you will see what God’s intentions are when he made the masterpiece that is a black woman. They will tell us noses that are too wide , lips that are too full, hair that is too nappy , skin that is too dark is undesirable. Yet no one on this planet can make those features look more harmonious and beautiful like a black woman can. So we should embrace that, and unfortunately the world tells us not too. So many feel forced to conform instead of freely expressing.
💯🤎🤎🤎
They are not Amish LOL. They are just very conservative Christians. They would not be online if they were Amish
I agree with these young ladies for the most part as I am also religious and have had a lot of pruning in regards to my appearance. I used to wear hair textures that did not match my own hair very well because other women made it look cute and did not tell me they were damaging their hair to get it to blend. I went natural just to get bored and damage my type 3 curls to match body wave and straight hair extensions 😩 now I only like my hair or styles that you would expect to see on a black woman.
Rather than constantly press my hair to keep it from being noticeably different than my extensions I’d rather just get yaki straight hair and style it as I want it.
I LOVE makeup lol but I have had to develop some restraint because I don’t want to be vain at work or at church. I want to serve the Lord where I’m called and sometimes with makeup on I look too “baddie” and out of place. I like being human but there is a way to dress it up and remain natural. Balance is best.
Girl we in the four corners of the world 🫶🏾
No lies detected
How are Amish women on a podcast?
Good question 🤎
Are they biracial or black? I mean, their phenotype is different from black women. For example, Everytime I am around black women talking about natural hair, I’m always told I do not count when I attempt to enter the conversation, weird.. right. Black people have to make up their mind of what they want, who is included and who is not. Let’s not get offended if these women are amongst their racial phenotype and identifies as biracial, which they are ❤
Did I watch this video… NOT REALLY 😩😐😐
It’s okay lol and they are biracial and I personally feel like monoracially black is 2 black parent 4 black grandparents 🤎
I only clicked because, "Black amish?"But i can't give a damn about what someone's standard of beauty is when it comes to me.
Live life. Do what makes you happy.
Give these young ladies credit for talking about these topics. They are barely legal. Side eying them for what?? Black women stop the nonsense. The shit is annoying.
Stop the nonsense? They included an entire collective of black women into a conversation while we were minding our business and you’re telling us to stop the nonsense? What did black women do wrong except exist and respond to their video? If they didn’t want any feedback than why address it? Why don’t they addres white women since their mothers are white? Why does no one address white women, their attire, style, Botox/face lifts/lip fillers/butt implants but is constantly calling out black women who do nothing but mind their business? It’s crazy how we are being manipulated into behaving in nonsense when we were introduced into the discussion and are simply responding
I don’t wear make up so I don’t care but you see how they all have curly hair and not coily hair so don’t tell me wearing a wig is not natural I rock both my hair and wigs
I’m confused because wigs are not natural..but wearing them for versatility is different than dependency 🤎🤎🤎
@@CoffeeCuties777 yeah I wear them when I have my protective styles
Those girls are from an adjacent sect similar to the Amish community.
Thanks for letting me know 🤎🤎🤎
I do think that there’s a seperate lane for bi racial people and their cultural issues
But at the same time it’s hard draw a distinct line where that actually begins because genetics are so inconsistent and unpredictable
A lot of bi racial people are basically forced into that category and distinction of blk person
Obviously it depends on the environment, a larger city with more naturally diverse population is gonna be more accepting of them than a mono racial blk woman
But in a more rural community of almost exclusively conservative white families
They’ll often be seen as just a blk person even if they sometimes are given more superficial tolerance
But even then it depends because not every biracial person has the “ethnically ambiguous” look
Plenty of bi racial people look almost no different from a mono blk person…should they feel the same way
Plenty of bi racial people will have kinky hair as well, and might not even have those social advantages associated with being mixed race
It just gets very murky upon closer inspection because there’s no consistent look or experience biracial people have
Some of them look white, some of them look like they could be anything from Arab to Italian and some of them just look like any other blk person
I personally feel the line should be 2 black parents and 4 black grandparents 🤎
@@jerm-gv9rvThe one drop rule created alot of confusion and allowed for this mixed race historical hyracrchy over black people. If they were allowed to be in their own category from day one, there would be less confusion.
I agree with coffee. I also want to add that if you’re a biracial and your mother is the white one, there will be a lot more differences than if she was the black one.
@ I mean that’s definitely true
But i mean what abt the bi racial people who don’t look multi ethnic…meaning they’re perceived as strictly a blk person by everyone
Should they distance their identity and not refer to themselves as blk or speak abt blk issues …would people not assume they have self hatred or arrogance if they did
There’s also a lot of public scrutiny given to bi racial people who don’t identify as blk
Of course When they look ambiguous it’s more expected for them to do that
But “bi racial” has no consistent experience or culture , it’s very dependent on the culture they’re raised around
Especially if they’re darker than a paper bag
Even if they have a white mom they could still be heavily influenced and shaped by the blk relatives on their fathers side
Aunties and cousins who can still give them that experience of being cared for and raised by blk women
Stop being offended by everything damn. These young ladies are very pro black if you follow them. Im not offended by any of their content. There are two main host on the show everyone else is a guest.
They should be pro white with they mama
So what
The topic is viral so many people care and this is a channel that centers black women and coily natural hair so I’m going to speak about it🤎
@ it was not that big of a deal. The only reason anyone cares is because yall hate biracial women talking about you
@coffeecuties I suspect honeyChild is reacting to the title of the video. Thinking « so what if she said the truth? ». It’s funny how I interpreted it differently but you might be right
@Lili-p1b5t how do you interpret it?
@honey if biracial want to address black women then that’s their choice but since I am black and I’m who they are referring to I have the right to respond and discuss what they have correct and incorrect 🤎
