Your hair didn't break the comb. The stylist that didn't want to do your hair, her own bias, and improper training, treated your hair in that manner and SHE broke the comb by not handling your hair properly and with care. Your hair is and always has been amazing and manageable. Proper products and techniques are key and a true professional can do it. Great job beautiful hair!!
I came here just to see this comment. Well said!
Indeed... And I hate that she was imprinted by such a negative experience with her hair. It's a major beauty marker, that's legitimately attractive on it's own... Hopefully, this trend is something than can be reversed in the upcoming years.
I agree. The stylist broke the comb by not using the proper size and type of comb. My biological sister and I need 2 different type combs for out hair because the texture is different.
She is ridiculously STUNNING!
Boy were we brainwashed to the max about our looks and hair. You have beautiful hair no matter the texture Black women. Society has traumatized us for too long. Love your hair.
She looks beautiful with her curls😍
The fact that there are still places where it just isn't allowed is just mind bugging. Is this required of any other race? NO. To have their hair presentable for TV? Sure. But, what is the presentable? Eurocentric ones. I'm proud of your journey. It brings representation to a lot of girls who will look at you on their TVs and see that a successful black woman on TV looks like them, and that it can become an attainable goal for them. It will also bring that little push to all women scared of going natural or in the journey of reclaiming their blackness. They'll look at you and might decide to go for it. For that I thank, you for your honesty and boldness in documenting your journey in an educational tasteful heartfelt way.
That happened to me the stylist argued who would do my hair and one lady shut them up and said I'll do it and she has been doing my hair for 23 years!!!
Good for her.
As an African -American female, the idea of curly hair was the same. She spoke nothing but facts about the stigma of Afro-textured hair , especially if you grew up in the 90s/early 2000s. I just went natural 2016. Yes it is not easy.
She is like a real life Disney princess! She is so beautiful
Your hair is beautiful!! Keep rocking your natural curls!!
It’s not like DNA. Hair are strands of DNA. Your hair is unique and beautifully expresses you.
Curly hair is your jam!!!
Love your curls you have beautiful hair and you are gorgeous.
She's gorgeous!!!
Her hair is so beautiful, u wouldn’t think she had that experience.
It is beautiful, but it’s also technically heat damaged, so more “relaxed” aka “acceptable” than it might be once it grows out and reveals her natural texture, which I’m sure is even more beautiful. Unfortunately, beautiful to “us” and others who appreciate it, might not be perceived that way by the majority (including other black people who have internalized the negative message about Afro textured hair). I personally don’t gaf and have been natural for over 20 years. Not going back.
Thank you for sharing.
Natural hair Rocks😊
I’m glad my job promotes diversity including hairstyles. I work in a corporate environment at an electric utility company. I’ve worn my natural hair since 2009 and I wouldn’t dream of going back to straight, relaxed hair. It was boring.
Your hair is beautiful, thank you for embracing it. 💕✌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
I love your natural hair. I fortunately I have to deal with perception a lot. I’m in nursing but we have come a long way in healthcare as well.
2023, I've been natural all my life. One thing I never cared about is what people had to say about my hair. It was short and curly there was nothing you could do with it. I was such a mean little thing people were not allowed to touch my hair. If someone tried to touch my hair, I would SWAT their hands. 😂
Exactly. Even my parents who are old school tried to talk me out of wearing my natural hair. I didn't listen and now all the women in my family are natural, even my mom. She has locs 😳🥰❤️❤️
I follow your journey on TikTok. Simply a beautiful person. Thank you for sharing.
Congratulations Jeanette and Robert love you both this is your friend Valerie Richard I watch you every day on channel 5 God bless you all a pretty little girl take care
She's one of my FAVORITE ytube posters! Thanks for posting. 😊 💕
I can see the Time in your life is still heartbreaking. I totally understand
Your hair looks so epic. Beautiful
Good information about embracing our natural hair.
She looks beautiful either way but I'm so surprised at how much younger she looked with her curly hair.
Yes, I remember those occasional comb-breaking days😊
When she said this I winced…..poor her….poor you…….ouuuch!
You are so beautiful!!! And your hair is gorgeous!!!❤❤❤
Love it & you look gorgeous Jeannette❤ Embrace your race!
Thanks for sharing, Jeanette! 🤍🙏🏾
embrace latina hair. all different types straight,wavy, to loose to tight curls ☺️
You inspired so many by wearing your beautiful natural hair
Girl you could be bald and you would still be extremely beautiful !!! Word !!! ❤
She’s Beautiful!!! I love her I watch her and her husbands channel
What about the Crown Act? Does DC not have this bill? Employers are not to tell folks how to wear their hair, and cannot fire someone for wearing their natural hair.
Tremendously skilled professional and very pretty
Ms. Reyes your hair is as BEAUTIFUL as you are. ❤🎉
You have the most beautiful curly hair I have ever seen
Your hair is SOOOOO PRETTTTYYYYY naturallll
Girl my beautician broke her comb too on mine.....we just laughed!
I may start watching Fox news again because of you. Thank you for doing this story.
Thanks Jeannette!
There's a vlogger on TH-cam who has a channel, SimplyYesenia, and she's Afro-Dominican. She has beautiful natural hair, and so does her daughter.
I love watching Yesenia. 😊
Thank you!
Thank you for this.
Love her ❤
❤❤luv this. Rock your natural hair girly!
I love this young women
Super cute!!!!
You're the best 😍😍😍
I love it both ways ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
U/R a rock star ❤❤
I do know you and your family, but I love y’all.
You look beautiful 😍
I love this. I am married to a Dominican woman with naturally curly hair (she is all Afro Latinoon her dad side and Spaniard/ Taino/ Afro Latino on her mom side) and I absolutely love when she wears her hair curly. It is one of the most exotic looks I have ever seen
it's exotic if you only know people with straight hair. For the rest of us, it's normal, everyday beautiful.
Love her
No one to eat it. Lol smh editing is on point.
I am enjoying your videos. Also I am a new subscriber.
I want to say congratulations of Jeanette reyes of having baby girl. I hope she has a boy for her girl as a brother.
Embrace ur curls ..
Stay natural, then people see you as real person..
Looking nice
❤❤❤❤
Natural hair is A LOT of work.
It depends. I don’t do a lot with my hair. It was actually more work when I had a relaxer. I can truly wash my hair and style it and not really worry about it until the weekend. I had to do a lot to my relaxed hair.
@@getreal4real169 What styles do you do?
It is a lot of work if you're trying to do what the TH-cam influencers are claiming to do. I went natural 23 years ago, way before TH-cam videos, Shea Moisture, and LOC were a thing. I wash, detangle, condition, moisturize, and twist in 1.5 hours tops. I never understood why people were spending so much time on hair.
Let's say how it is Afro-textured hair because even though she is beautiful and lovely curls ,what about us 4c people
We 4Cs are gorgeous too. Loving my thick healthy coils. The key is not expecting your hair to do all these twists and turns, just let it be. Keep it moisturized and low manipulation.
@@September7bride I'm ready to do the big chop and transition to natural. My hair is 4C. What products do you use to help retain moisture?
those arent even her curls, they are clearly heat styled with an iron or curlers. I dont know why she thought she could fake the funk in 2020 when natural hair was BOOMING. Im guessing its why this video isnt viral, people clocked the fake curls from the screenshot and scrolled.
You are so beautiful
Now that u have Bella she will need to see your natural hair
Whew I just don't know how to do my coily hair. I just always wear wig.
Beauty is in difference. Saying the opposite is like living in a boring environment.
lol of course it's easy for her since she has a looser hair texture.
This being an issue with black women and my daughter is tragic
I’m really tired of the narrative that natural hair is so expensive to maintain. BS!! I have white friends and the money they spend on color, cuts and treatments is more than I thought possible. I think we are just making excuses.
Latin, Asian and white American women all suffer from poor hair quality, we need to focus on health not texture and afrocoid hair is the most flexible to me.
Those arent even her curls. Her hair was curled with a heat tool or with curlers. Girl if you dont gone somewhere lol. We know what a natural curl pattern looks like sis, the natural hair movement been goin on for a HOT minute!
Unfortunately, my Mexican mother huffed n puffed All the time about my curly hair. Finally, while in my 30's I just said "f" this blow drying n curling iron was not worth my time. Period. I now have healthy curly hair in my 50's
Curls are my weakness
I keep saying, this woman would be gorgeous BALD! What IS she talking About?
Is this 2024
Hair stylists are always trying to tell women that we need their expertise when it comes to our own hair. If you're getting relaxers, color etc then maybe BUT no one should have to consult a hair stylish to learn how to do their own natural hair. And YT is a wonderful place to learn despite what this young lady is saying.
Natural hair is a lot of work, it’s expensive to get all those stay-in conditioners, oils, etc all the time. I love my curls but straightened hair is so much easier
Man what was wrong wearing her hair the way she had it
Last person to get advice from.
Straight hair is boring
So, if I’m reading this right she was basically nice/nasty bullied into this….? I always thought people came to this country specifically because of the freedom of self expression it’s a shame that community wants you to fit their mold so they feel better about themselves.. for those that care about their natural texture you should focus on your journey and stop telling people no matter how encouragingly (nice/nasty) you do it. Having a discussion is cool but this helps me understand how the political system got so far away from us as we are worried about people’s hair styles and what they do when they minding their own business. A distracted public is a wet dream for a future Dictator….
Who do they allow to wear natural hair and who do they not allow to wear natural hair ? This very revealing of heavy basis …and shallow minded media
wtf who cares about curly or straight hair as a child??????? My children focus on beads and bows in their hair
Why is this a fucking issue today?
You did not have to share that story about when you were younger. Excuses, excuses. Stop sharing these things with the world.
Jesus had hair like lamds wool.
Surely there are educated hair consultants that can communicate with proper sentence structure in your city, or no?
Love her 🫶🏽👑💖🦋🇩🇴
