So true. The number of men, of different races, who go out of their way to speak to me when I'm wearing my natural, is astounding. It really is our "pretty privilege."
@@kikio-rq9kxit was BLACK women who “trashed” me when I went natural back in 2000 before it was trending. I was even called nappy headed by a now ex-best friend. I saw her years later and guess what. She had a head full of NAPPY hair…go figure
@@fashionwithoutlabels which means she eventually educated herself.... When it comes to black women, let's give each other a little grace. A lot of black women are undoing decades of damage.
It really IS!! I just wore my hair natural this past week, the amount of respect I was given from all races and even just people who were rude to me beforehand, insane
@@LaLabutterfly Think about it. When we wear our own hair it shows we love how God created us to be. It means we respect our uniqueness as a black woman. Naturally that will garner anyone to want to know more about you, to respect you and think highly of you. How you carry yourself is everything
I truly believe Afro hair makes a BOLD statement, if you walk into any room with a huge AFRO, all attention just gravitates to you, it also acts as shade when it sort of covers your eyes, it’s fabulous and always will be. It is the only hair style that can’t be truly imitated outside of the people who have it naturally❤
I just feel so gorgeous in what God naturally gave me. People stop and tell me how pretty my hair is and the only folks that turn up their nose are other black people that hate themselves and believe the lies about our natural hair but every other race has complimented mine and it feels different because its not a weave , braids, wig, or it straightened its in its natural state and IT FEELS SO GOOD to be complimented in what I was created to look like naturally and yes hair can do that lol.
In my opinion, there is no woman who is more beautiful, than a black woman wearing her natural hair. Black women, have a beauty that is all our own, no woman of any other race can emulate our beauty.....no matter how hard they try. Fros, locs, braids, blowouts etc. Black women's hair is the most, beautiful and versatile, if properly cared for.
Exactly, bw are the most beautiful period. Only we don't realised of that. Thats why they try to put us down so much. I love bw because i love myself ❤
Our hair does grow slower. On average, Asian hair grows at 0.5 inch/month; white hair at 0.4/month; black hair at 0.3/month. That's on average though. There's always exceptions. It's well documented that different groups generally have differing hair growth rates.
@@chrissiec2123 No. Those studies are not conclusive and there is no definitive documentation on how those studies were conducted. Also, those with coily hair are almost never 100% of any race, genetics vary way too much for these studies to be conclusive. I'm African American and my hair does NOT grow slowly.
@@FTYC2022 I acknowledge that our perspectives don't align, but the studies are quantitative and thorough. As for you being African American and your hair not growing slowly, that's why in my initial comment I said, "That's on average though. There's always exceptions." On *_average_* , black hair does grow slowest. Also, black hair is objectively the most unique in the world and that's beautiful.
@@chrissiec2123 describe how the studies were conducted that makes them quantitative. Do you care to drop references? If not, I suggest you not push this narrative. MOST people with coily hair do NOT have a slow hair growth rate, but we absolutely do have difficulty with length retention. This mostly due to cultural hairstyling practices. And yes, our hair is beautiful.
Any black woman that wears her natural hair in the age of wigs and weaves kudos to you. I’m 3c 4a and a straight natural but plan on wearing my natural curls this summer 😊
@@OCDandme123 that will only happen when your hair shrinks and you wear it out while sleeping which leads to matting and then breakage. If you stretch your hair at night ( putting it in a protective style or using the band method) it won’t!
@@OCDandme123 My sister has 4c hair almost down to her butt and her goto style is braid outs. She always says moisture is key but she does a great job taking care of her hair.
It’s such an amazing social experiment when you silk press your hair and put long extension in and then go out and wear your natural hair . Natural hair is the way to go . God created us this way because he said it is VERY GOOD
The wigs and weaves that come from other races , is not a good look. If you can just imagine the people that had that hair on their head, they actually lived in that hair. They got sick in that hair. They made bodily functions in that hair and even had sexual encounters in that hair. I can’t imagine putting that hair or spirits on my head.
The issue is comparing BW to Eurocentric beauty standards. There’s no need for that, just create your own, and stand on it. Confidence is very important when it comes to attraction. How you get there is up to you. (IMO, look at yourself through your creator God (Yeshua), you were made in his image so who are these men or women to tell you otherwise) And never look at your beauty through the male gaze, esp BM.
Many ww are struggling to adhere to those standards so why should we, the complete opposite of the spectrum, even lift a finger to adhere to that? Stop wasting time trying to adhere to it and create your own beauty standard!
Not only will you have pretty privilege, but you will also inspire other 4c women/girls to go natural. My aunt always use to critisize my natural hair. Saying how it looked undone and dry. Since a year ago she started to wear her natural hair too and asks me for tips all the time😂❤️
Ive always been rocking my natural hair but in the last few years i have made a bigger effort to pick it bigger, more undefined, i wanna be as far away from the straight hair standard as possible. My hair acts as a protection. It repels undesireables and attracts a higher class of people. I especially love that straight hair people will never get an ego boost from me thinking i want their hair. I see them stare at me and my fro. Good, look but dont touch.
I think part of the reason why people are in btw love/hate of their natural hair is NOT knowing how to take care/ maintain their hair. I have been natural 10yrs and still counting. I get compliments anyday with it ,my church members said they always look forward to seeing it on Sundays.
Omg girl YEEESSSS! This is so true! A couple of days ago, I was on my way home and I had my natural hair in an Afro but later tied it up because it was so windy that day. On the bus home, the bus was really full so I was forced to stand. With that being said, this really nice man (dark skin, Jamaican guy) invited me to sit next to him. The whole bus ride home he was telling me how much he loved my natural hair and called me so beautiful. He said things like “seeing a woman like you with long thick natural hair in a world where everyone doesn’t wear their real hair is a breathe of fresh air” and such. He was a really sweet nice guy and I appreciate him so much! He reminded me of my ex situstionship guy who also praised my natural hair a lot haha. Natural hair is beautiful!
I actually never in my life hated my hair, I just wasn’t taught how to do my own hair. So I had to learn and that was tedious in the beginning but now I’m thriving. Hard work always pays off! Now I get the you got good hair compliments from other black women, which isn’t a compliment to me because I know they see my hair and question my genetics and they also discredit my hard work! Just learn your hair and it will thrive! It will take some years because you can’t go from all your life not knowing anything to two months and knowing it all!! Be realistic and then you will Love what you see later!
@09:27 I was watching Dexter the TV series yesterday. When the undercover cop was posing as a lady of the night, she had plaites in her hair and when she was polished up and posing as a cop, she had a silky smooth blowout. So Film and Television is doing this on purpose to discredit African Caribbean styles. That's why with have to dress up to the 9s when out with our natural hair.
We don't have to dress to the 9s with natural hair. I have 4♾️xyz^10 hair and I dress very casually. As long as I have a clean body, clean clothes that don't break the bank, and even have a very plain basic appearance it doesn't matter. Love your texture stop consuming media believing that you must fit a standard.
I bet black women from back in the day would laugh at black women today why? Because how is this even a discussion. Like we really need to talk about being comfortable wearing our natural hair because we are egregiously conditioned. It’s sad. We allow the enemy to win. Thanks for this video.
As a daughter to Haitian born parents - it’s sad! Most of my family is natural (obviously due to the black population being the central). It was not until I started visiting haiti often as a little girl that I felt something about straight hair is just not normal for us lol) I’m so grateful
I think the problem is that the beauty standards for black women are even too high..I have 4a fine strands and can't have these amazing large afros and my hair can't handle braids. So a lot of what makes black women's hair "cool" "beautiful" or "unique" are just qualities don't have. So as you say, do hairstyles that compliment your hair but those are often the styles people dislike, regardless of the race
@@TeaWitcher okay but thats the beauty of cosmetics. most ppl dont have naturally clear skin but they still have a skincare routine. most ppl dont have naturally long lashes but they still wear mascara and fake lashes. its 2024, this "but naturally its not me" stuff sounds like just another way to beat yourself up especially when you dont have to naturally have thick hair to still have thick hair. wear the clips ins and rock that fro like its yours.
You shouldn't dwell too much on what you think you're lacking. As you said youserlf, making the best of what you have and styling your hair in a way that compliments your face is the most important. Everyone deals with insecurities when it comes to their physique regardless of race or hair type. For example plenty of white or asian women don't have the very thick, dense and super long bonestraight hair that is promoted on TV over other hair types, but that doesn't stop the majority from having a hair care routine and going to their stylist for advice, cuts, treatments, trims etc When it comes to type 4 hair specifically I think there are plenty of styles that are accessible to any hair density thickness or length. Twists are a lot gentler on your strands and I don't remember ever seeing a successful twistout that looked bad. Finger coils can look very good too. All in all there are options regardless of what you start with, so you should experiment as much as possible
@@glamglam8347 but by the time you do that, why not just wear the wigs and weaves? I tried that for a while but curly clip ins that are kinky textured are MUCH harder to maintain than looser textures, usually more expensive, and generally require me to wear more leave out which means the clip ins will tangle. I just keep my hair twisted under a glueless wig 95 percent of the time for ease of maintenance. If I want my natural hair to look "right" then it takes a lot more effort
I've noticed that when I wear my natural hair, people are much sweeter towards me. Plus, I attract a lot of good-looking men, which is so bizarre because when I wear braids I don't pull anyone.
I love this video! Finally, someone who sees the impact of positive promotion. Intelligent people can see past the agenda set forth to keep Blk Women unaware of the privilege, depth and richness of their beauty.
Thank u for this message. I recently cut my locs off after 21 years of having them. Now I have a twa and i can wash in go. It feels wonderful and our hair creates awesome shapes. With a bit of hair gel and a Kiss twist king brush, my hair forms these cute tiny curls. Our hair is MAGICAL🎉🥰 Let's celebrate❤
I'm on a mission to change the beauty standard. My hair is gorgeous, straight or curly, the way it grows out of my head. I rarely straighten mine. It's out in its natural state 98% of the time.
This is true! I don’t have 4c hair I have 4a but the same thing stands! When I wear my natural hair people just go wild. I wish black women understood that the beauty is natural. They lied to you and tricked you to believe it’s not. I used to love switching my hair and wearing weaves but I’m starting to hate it because it’s not African.
If you hate something about your hair then learn how to meet in the middle. I don't like shrinkage but I love my texture so i either stretch my hair or i wear afro extensions to give my hair length. If you hate your texture than why not try kinky or yaki straight?
This is a good tip for those who hate their hair. I love our 4c hair texture. How to style it while it’s in a short length is what I think most people find less appealing. I touched on that topic in this video and in some of my other hair videos. Thanks for sharing!
I'm only 35 seconds in, and i just wanted to tell everyone that I've been wearing my natural hair for years now (it's been blonde for years😅) but it's an afro, in it's natural state and i love it!. I get compliments on it everywhere i go, literally. I messed it up a bit through trial and error when coloring it but babbbyyyy it's grown healthier and become way stronger! I can't wait to post my latest video wearing my natural hair 😊❤. It honestly IS our privilege. Thank you for this video😊
Once I did my big chop and started my natural hair journey I’ve never felt more beautiful. Our hair compliments our features and we look so exotic with our natural hair or protective styles that are unique to us like braids or twist.
Sis, i couldn't have put it better myself. I completely agree with everything you've said so eloquently. 'As a man thinks, so he will be,' says the good Book. And how we see and think about ourselves is a direct function of what we choose to focus our attention on. I've always been convinced about one thing when it comes to this weird world of ours: there are only two categories of humans; those who despite the negativity, hate and evil in the world, deliberately choose to see the positive in everything. And then there are those who choose to see only the negative and bad in circumstances, things and people. In the end, it's a choice. And you ultimately become what you choose to see.
Thank you for this video! Such a breath of fresh air!!! You are the only TH-camr I have seen who actually admits that us as black women can have pretty privilege. So many videos keep talking about how we are oppressed but I have found that when I wear my natural hair, I become one of the most beautiful women in the room. And thank you for pointing out that what we consume also affects us. I feel like a lot of people like to make reaction videos or always talk about something negative that they see, but people always fail to mention that the internet has an algorithm. The more negativity we see, the more we will believe we have nothing but disadvantage and oppression. Black women's hair is so unique and gorgeous. Our natural hair is indeed a privilege and it is a such a relief to hear someone frame it as that for once
I recently have been having my natural hair out at the gym I go to and I’ve received so many compliments about it. From my coils to the length. It made me smile cause I was definitely insecure what others would think sadly.
I experience this. My locs, styled in cute styles, is a game changer amongst all races. Its a sign of womanhood in learning mastery and beauty of your natural hair. My daughtèr is biracial with 3c texture hair. She loves her hair being free versus in braids. Its lovely seeing her ask to take her braids out so she can wear her fro.
I used to have relaxed hair because that what every one at school had, but I hated it because I had limited styling option. I have now being natural for a year and I absolutely 🥰
I'm so mad at myself for not realizing how much representation matters. I knew it was true to some extent, but I didn't realize how pervasive it is to always have the "Becky with the good hair" being the lady that gets it all, while the one with 4C is the sidechick or the bestie. I couldn't see how to wear my hair out until I quit instagram and started using Pinterest and following 4C classy ladies living their best Main Character lives. The other day, I opened my feed of Pinterest and realize how much they made me feel like anything is possible. We have our own beauty standards and we've always been the blueprint. Thank you for reminding how important it is to curate our feeds.
So true!! I am not a social media person but I have had Pinterest since high school. The natural black girl aesthetics, vibes, inspirational collages & quotes are EVERYTHING. It’s crazy that this morning I was thinking about how black women need to divest from the “baddie buss down” looks on ig and get into Pinterest!!
I love my hair but she doesn't like being out...dries out fast so I keep it wrapped in a scarf and I remove the scarf once indoors...I keep my hair in twists; its the only style I can do BTW. My hair is a mixture of all the 4's I think, not sure as I have not yet come across anyone with my hair type on YT nor in my family....and its short (touches my shoulders at the back and chin length n the front).... I don't need compliments to love my hair either. Its mine and I love it. That is all that matters.
Thanks for sharing your experience and tips.🤍 I can definitely relate with some of them. I like to wrap my hair up when going out in winter to protect it from the cold.
So agree ❤️ I've tried over the years having mine out, wash n gos I do like but it just tangles anf dries out too easily. Working on more bantu knot type of styles where the hair is away.
Your hair may be more dry then mine so these suggestions might not be helpful or have not worked for you, but I always have a spray bottle with some diluted conditioner (to work as a leave-in) that I can use mornings or evenings. I usually do wash n goes so I just spray my hair in sections that I probably made before bed and shake my hair. This gives my hair time to absorb the moisture as I go about my day and the coat is not too heavy that it ends up sealing out moisture or causes to much buildup and dries it more in the end. Keeping my hair stretched with bands or scrunchies helps keep it detangled too. It works for me cause it’s easier to do daily in comparison to other methods
Thank you!! I wish more of this message was out there!! I'm wearing my natural 4c hair in a wash n go for a wedding tomorrow and because of you I'm going to challenge myself to wear my natural hair for dress-up events this year.
This has actually been my experience! Ever since I started wearing my natural hair out more I get many compliments from all people. I feel the most beautiful when I embrace my coils. I cant get enough of it, I just love my God-given tresses so much!
I still have a few insecurities I’m working through with my 4C hair. Also balancing a 9-5 and a hair care routine. BUT I’ve never been a wig kinda girl. My mom wore locs and never allowed me to relax my hair at a young age which I’m grateful for. I eventually got locs myself but recently reversed them. I’m loving my natural hair more and more and get compliments for my natural looks at work and in public. I no longer speak negatively about my hair. The people who have hair opposite than mine complain about their hair and not being able to have the versatility I have with kinky cool hair. So before you talk down about your hair, think that others feel the way about their hair too so be grateful. Natural hair for the win 🥰 side note you are beautiful 😍
Our hair is our crown my hair gets big & wild and I love every moment love shaking my big unapologetic curls around also my sister hair is 4c and she never wore anything but her natural hair and it’s beautiful and big also long I love being blk wouldn’t want it another way❤️
Thank you for this. I used to wear my natural hair so often and then somehow, I lost confidence. It sucked because I felt really beautiful in it. I'm ready to wear again.
Honestly, I have been wearing my natural hair out, personally, I love long hair I'm trying to grow it out. But I do get mostly positive reviews from White men mostly (that's who I attract all the time). Black men avoid dark-skinned natural hair women like the plague (in my experience)
I attract a lot of Hispanic men also. Even more so since I went and got locs. I think men of other cultures Are used to light skin and straight hair and prefer something unique. Whereas black men have the same features, they don't appreciate them.
I love this title. if black women took time to be patient with their hair which is what I did in HS now when my hair is at its worst it’s still its best because it’s well cared for. Wigs/ getting braids is expensive and a lot to learn just like natural hair. It’s much more worth it bc it’s God given my hair means more to me knowing I’m created wonderfully and I thought I should change it.
Went out with my natural hair yesterday and today and I felt so confident. I’ve come a long way from where I used to be. My Turkish neighbour lady even gave a compliment today ☺️.
I promise you having natural hair sets you apart, you're perceived different, you attract different, there's something so refreshing when a black woman wears their natural hair. This weave situation is a scam, we were built with these feature and skin tone that complement our natural hair. I've never owned a wig in my life, and I don't have regrets, because God did not make a mistake with the type of hair I have. ❤
I have embraced my natural hair for a year now, and I am truly thrilled about it! For the past year, I have chosen not to wear wigs or lace fronts, and I have succeeded in doing so. My hair has also grown significantly during this time! It has been an enjoyable experience discovering and caring for my hair, and I am grateful for the journey❤
The title inspired me to like this video before watching it. I'll come back and comment after. I've been wearing my nair natural since by big chop in 1995 and I'm not looking back. It's one of the best decisions I ever made.
I have relaxed hair but during the time I wear my natural hair, I encourage all my friends to go natural and they didn’t want to because of their curl pattern. Fast forward to now they are all natural and they loved it. Sometimes they say that they want to relax their hair I encourage them to wear their natural hair as I genuinely feel that they are doing a great job with their natural hair.
Yesss. Right now I am working on healing my scalp and growing my hair. So now I use the kinky Marley hair to achieve the looks I’m setting goals for my real hair to do. And I’m falling in love with my hair type like I’ve never ever before. I wear the big kinky fros proud. ❤❤ and today I seen a sticker on a coworkers iPad that said Natural hair is professional of a woman rocking a big kinky fro just as I … I love it. ❤❤❤❤ it’s a statement.
Exactly !❤ I absolutely love my hair but Im still concious about the lack of volume so I have learn to cut it the right way to have a great shape and I only wear hairstyles that enhance my hair beauty and make me feel confident 😊 You made valid points. Honestly, I think understanding your hair limitations is for every women...All my friends who have thin hair like me have very similar difficulties, no mater their ethnicity or hair texture. So , after yeeears of frustrations, accepting my hair limitations and focusing on what makes my hair beautiful and unique is the way to go...it has really been a game changer for me 😊
Wonderful video sis. I love this. I don't think our hair grows slowly, I think it breaks more often, so growth is not seen. But our hair grows the same way other hair grows.
6:52 you really spoke well and dropped many gems. I feel like when you love the real you, is when you will more naturally and easily attract the people who really love you
OMG YES! Any hair type can be beautiful. Beauty is not limited to looser curls and straight hair. We look best with what naturally grows out of our scalps!
Thanks for making this video! We need more positivity like this. My ex boyfriend loved my natural hair, especially when it was a fro. I started to get jealous because it’s like he loved that hair more than me. It’s weird to think I was nervous about wearing my hair out. Because I’d get so many compliments on it from men of all races. These days I’m too lazy to style my hair and keep it in braids, my hair grows like weeds when I keep it in natural twists.
Disclaimer: this is not directed at the creator of this video, but to the people in the comments and the natural hair community in gerneral. While its important to remember all hair and atyles are beautiful, i think we should also remember that everyone can do whatever they want with their hair and just because one person may not wear their hair natural doesnt mean they hate themselves or are ashamed of their hair or dont know how to take care of it. It is completely up to personal preference and i would love to see black women embracing and respecting everyone's choice in what they do with their own hair. No one's hair is the standard. I wish the natural hair community could just let people make the choice for themselves instead of looking down on those who choose to go a different path.
Thank you very much for pointing this out. You made a valid point!🙏🏾 I also hope we understand that when people promote natural hair, the aim shouldn’t be to condemn other hair preferences. Our focus should be on correcting the distasteful stereotypes around kinky hair. Because type 4 hair is largely the least popular or preferred, it’s beautiful to see people embrace & celebrate it more.🫶🏽 In addition, we have been blessed with a hair texture that can be styled into different forms which is beautiful to see, but we encourage BW to ALSO be proud of wearing their natural hair publicly.
....as long as a person has broken free from the straight hair is "better" mindset, then the natural hair community is fine with it. The idea that it is 'better' came from colonisers telling us we are ugly and only their hair looks good. We want Blacks to be emancipated in every way, which includes accepting & admiring how God made us. Once we all can love ourselves, then do whatever you want.
Our natural hair is Beautiful, and beauty is how a person see it. What really matters is how you see yourself, I love my natural 4c hair. I love the fact that my hair is very flexible I can wear it how ever I like. We Must Learn to Love ourselves and our hair. Learn to take good care of it and it will love you back ❤❤❤
I am here for this content! I love this so much & cant wait to start wearing my afro more. I had locs for some time, but i miss my afro like so bad🥹. Thanks for this video
Thank you, beautiful Sister! This is such an important message, and one I needed to hear as an affirmation right now, in my 9th year of solely wearing my natural hair. I appreciate you & everything you said here! 💜
There is always a way to love your hair, you just have to learn to work with it. I struggled to love my hair until I got locs. After a few years locs resolved my issues with length, styling, and finances. My hair is now the longest it’s ever been in my life
Your hair looks beautiful and girllll where are your earrings from?? Love them! As for natural hair, i have finally embraced my natural hair and i realised how hidden my facial features were behind all these ridiculous wigs lol. Imagine i have never worn my natural hair out, only during my childhood....and it really dawned on me as a grown adult that I've been hiding my natural hair. I had to acknowledge this hate i had for it but now i love it. I found a wonderful hairdresser that knows how to treat and style my hair. So now It's growing, and it is the healthiest it has been in 31 years of my life. I honestly do not care what anyone thinks about my hair, it makes me feel confident and i feel beautiful.
Hello. I love the message of this video. Just one point that i think is really important. Said in kindness: You said our hair grows slower. It doesn't. Our hair grows at the same rate as others. We may not retain the length depending on a number of factors - styles we're wearing, strength of our individual hair heat application, etc.
My hair grows faster and more healthy wearing it natural. Thin spots thicken up also. For me something about having the sun on my hair is very halpful. My scalp gets very itchy at times (especially when not wearing it out in sun), so surprisingly washing 2 or more times a week helps.I understand that every scalp is different.❤
Ladies. I want you all to bear in mind your hair texture will change as you age and your hair turns gray and white. I say this as my mother, from Ghana, recently passed away. My mom always let me play in her hair. she had course 4c hair. it was like a brillo pad, thick and strong. as i got older i continued to do her hair. as she got near the end of life her hair was all white, and soft like cotton candy. very fluffy and straight. As a cosmetologist i know once melanin leaves hair the structure changes. even now my 4a tight coily fine hair is changing as it turns gray. i love my curls but so know as it grays its getting straight. love your hair NOW, TODAY. love what you have because it will change and you will reminisce back to days of old. enjoy your hair. i stopped wearing wigs and hair extensions. nothing on this earth can match the beauty of what is naturally yours. always replicated but never duplicated. ❤
I’ve been natural for many years. Proud to ssy that I’ve never wore braids, tracks, wigs or anything outside my natural hair. The compliments vary from other naturals, mature men, white men and sparks the conversation of hair from those outside our race. I won’t call it pretty privilege because I’m experiencing discrimination especially because of my choice of wearing my natural hair. Regardless, I wear my hair my way and for me and not for others. That’s the most important point. Wear your natural hair because you want to but not because it’s expected by other naturals or because it looks like the style that’s in. Be your true self and if straight hair does it for you than do you Boo! Braids, weaves, wigs and anything else you do to your hair is your choice. It’s your hair so be confident and enjoy it!

Love this! Ty for sharing 🤍
So true every other race is like “wow” 😂😂😂
In my opinion, there is no woman who is more beautiful, than a black woman wearing her natural hair. Black women, have a beauty that is all our own, no woman of any other race can emulate our beauty.....no matter how hard they try. Fros, locs, braids, blowouts etc. Black women's hair is the most, beautiful and versatile, if properly cared for.
For real! Yes 🙌🏾 🫶🏽
That’s why they try so hard to downplay our beauty, because if the world accepted us it would be game over for them, too much competition.
❤️❤️ YES! WE ARE ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!
Exactly, bw are the most beautiful period. Only we don't realised of that. Thats why they try to put us down so much. I love bw because i love myself ❤
@@selfishgirlsgofirst " I love black women, because I ♥️ myself".....that part.
No one on the planet has our gorgeous hair…I love it!!!
Our hair doesn’t grow slower, it’s just harder to retain length.
Our hair does grow slower. On average, Asian hair grows at 0.5 inch/month; white hair at 0.4/month; black hair at 0.3/month. That's on average though. There's always exceptions. It's well documented that different groups generally have differing hair growth rates.
@chrissiec2123 respectfully, shutup
@@chrissiec2123 No. Those studies are not conclusive and there is no definitive documentation on how those studies were conducted. Also, those with coily hair are almost never 100% of any race, genetics vary way too much for these studies to be conclusive. I'm African American and my hair does NOT grow slowly.
@@FTYC2022 I acknowledge that our perspectives don't align, but the studies are quantitative and thorough. As for you being African American and your hair not growing slowly, that's why in my initial comment I said, "That's on average though. There's always exceptions." On *_average_* , black hair does grow slowest. Also, black hair is objectively the most unique in the world and that's beautiful.
@@chrissiec2123 describe how the studies were conducted that makes them quantitative. Do you care to drop references? If not, I suggest you not push this narrative. MOST people with coily hair do NOT have a slow hair growth rate, but we absolutely do have difficulty with length retention. This mostly due to cultural hairstyling practices. And yes, our hair is beautiful.
Any black woman that wears her natural hair in the age of wigs and weaves kudos to you. I’m 3c 4a and a straight natural but plan on wearing my natural curls this summer 😊
Good for you for wearing your natural hair this summer. :)
Yes. Thank you and have fun rocking yours this summer😊
For 4c girls wearing natural hair out leads to breakage I would know so I wear natural looking crochet wigs
@@OCDandme123 that will only happen when your hair shrinks and you wear it out while sleeping which leads to matting and then breakage. If you stretch your hair at night ( putting it in a protective style or using the band method) it won’t!
@@OCDandme123 My sister has 4c hair almost down to her butt and her goto style is braid outs. She always says moisture is key but she does a great job taking care of her hair.
I am obsessed with 4c hair I think it's soo beautiful. Grows like tree 🌳 I get excited when I see it .
Omg yes!
It’s such an amazing social experiment when you silk press your hair and put long extension in and then go out and wear your natural hair . Natural hair is the way to go . God created us this way because he said it is VERY GOOD
Yes! Thank you!🤍
I LOVE IT! So TRUE!
The wigs and weaves that come from other races , is not a good look. If you can just imagine the people that had that hair on their head, they actually lived in that hair. They got sick in that hair. They made bodily functions in that hair and even had sexual encounters in that hair. I can’t imagine putting that hair or spirits on my head.
There’s some really nice synthetic wigs nowadays…textured and straight
Absolutely agree well said! 🤍
Agree. Why I can't do it, but I do use synthetic.
Synthetic hair is toxic do real hair extensions
Actually they have kinky/yaki textures wigs and weaves.
The issue is comparing BW to Eurocentric beauty standards. There’s no need for that, just create your own, and stand on it. Confidence is very important when it comes to attraction. How you get there is up to you. (IMO, look at yourself through your creator God (Yeshua), you were made in his image so who are these men or women to tell you otherwise) And never look at your beauty through the male gaze, esp BM.
💯👌👋
Facts. Bw being compared and told to look like european women have to stop.
Many ww are struggling to adhere to those standards so why should we, the complete opposite of the spectrum, even lift a finger to adhere to that? Stop wasting time trying to adhere to it and create your own beauty standard!
@@calmaschamomile1252 Factual!!
@@calmaschamomile1252 Well said!
She is very pretty.
Thank you
Not only will you have pretty privilege, but you will also inspire other 4c women/girls to go natural. My aunt always use to critisize my natural hair. Saying how it looked undone and dry. Since a year ago she started to wear her natural hair too and asks me for tips all the time😂❤️
Ive always been rocking my natural hair but in the last few years i have made a bigger effort to pick it bigger, more undefined, i wanna be as far away from the straight hair standard as possible.
My hair acts as a protection. It repels undesireables and attracts a higher class of people. I especially love that straight hair people will never get an ego boost from me thinking i want their hair. I see them stare at me and my fro. Good, look but dont touch.
Love it
As it should be. They have their beauty, and you have your own ❤
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I was thinking about it the other day but our hair is very exotic if you think about it.
Absolutely Fayvourx!🤍
Straight Truth!!!
Exactly no other race has our hair types but other races have eavh others
@@blackroyalness9780 so true
Our hair is the definition of exotic - impossible to replicate unless you are born with Bantu ethnicity
Black hair does not grow slower it’s all about length retention
I think part of the reason why people are in btw love/hate of their natural hair is NOT knowing how to take care/ maintain their hair.
I have been natural 10yrs and still counting. I get compliments anyday with it ,my church members said they always look forward to seeing it on Sundays.
You nailed it! Thank you Ndidi🤍
aww that's heartwarming they look forward to seeing it in church
Omg girl YEEESSSS! This is so true! A couple of days ago, I was on my way home and I had my natural hair in an Afro but later tied it up because it was so windy that day. On the bus home, the bus was really full so I was forced to stand. With that being said, this really nice man (dark skin, Jamaican guy) invited me to sit next to him. The whole bus ride home he was telling me how much he loved my natural hair and called me so beautiful. He said things like “seeing a woman like you with long thick natural hair in a world where everyone doesn’t wear their real hair is a breathe of fresh air” and such. He was a really sweet nice guy and I appreciate him so much! He reminded me of my ex situstionship guy who also praised my natural hair a lot haha. Natural hair is beautiful!
Yes babe! I'm here for these positive experiences. Thanks for sharing🤗

There were laws against natural hair for a REASON.
@@Rodrasroom never heard that before in my life
@@65May2 google it! You’ll be amazed.
I actually never in my life hated my hair, I just wasn’t taught how to do my own hair. So I had to learn and that was tedious in the beginning but now I’m thriving. Hard work always pays off! Now I get the you got good hair compliments from other black women, which isn’t a compliment to me because I know they see my hair and question my genetics and they also discredit my hard work!
Just learn your hair and it will thrive! It will take some years because you can’t go from all your life not knowing anything to two months and knowing it all!! Be realistic and then you will Love what you see later!
This!!🎯 Thank you.
You are sooo right! I’m still in the boat of learning what works for my hair, but I love every bit of my 4c hair!
@09:27 I was watching Dexter the TV series yesterday. When the undercover cop was posing as a lady of the night, she had plaites in her hair and when she was polished up and posing as a cop, she had a silky smooth blowout. So Film and Television is doing this on purpose to discredit African Caribbean styles.
That's why with have to dress up to the 9s when out with our natural hair.
We don't have to dress to the 9s with natural hair. I have 4♾️xyz^10 hair and I dress very casually. As long as I have a clean body, clean clothes that don't break the bank, and even have a very plain basic appearance it doesn't matter. Love your texture stop consuming media believing that you must fit a standard.
I bet black women from back in the day would laugh at black women today why? Because how is this even a discussion. Like we really need to talk about being comfortable wearing our natural hair because we are egregiously conditioned. It’s sad. We allow the enemy to win. Thanks for this video.
Ikr?! Its crazy to think this is a thing😞 but there's more work to be done.
As a daughter to Haitian born parents - it’s sad! Most of my family is natural (obviously due to the black population being the central). It was not until I started visiting haiti often as a little girl that I felt something about straight hair is just not normal for us lol) I’m so grateful
I think the problem is that the beauty standards for black women are even too high..I have 4a fine strands and can't have these amazing large afros and my hair can't handle braids. So a lot of what makes black women's hair "cool" "beautiful" or "unique" are just qualities don't have. So as you say, do hairstyles that compliment your hair but those are often the styles people dislike, regardless of the race
Omg i second this!!!! I wear clip ins for volume but a massive fro will never be me naturally
@@TeaWitcher okay but thats the beauty of cosmetics. most ppl dont have naturally clear skin but they still have a skincare routine. most ppl dont have naturally long lashes but they still wear mascara and fake lashes. its 2024, this "but naturally its not me" stuff sounds like just another way to beat yourself up especially when you dont have to naturally have thick hair to still have thick hair. wear the clips ins and rock that fro like its yours.
You shouldn't dwell too much on what you think you're lacking. As you said youserlf, making the best of what you have and styling your hair in a way that compliments your face is the most important. Everyone deals with insecurities when it comes to their physique regardless of race or hair type. For example plenty of white or asian women don't have the very thick, dense and super long bonestraight hair that is promoted on TV over other hair types, but that doesn't stop the majority from having a hair care routine and going to their stylist for advice, cuts, treatments, trims etc
When it comes to type 4 hair specifically I think there are plenty of styles that are accessible to any hair density thickness or length. Twists are a lot gentler on your strands and I don't remember ever seeing a successful twistout that looked bad. Finger coils can look very good too. All in all there are options regardless of what you start with, so you should experiment as much as possible
@@glamglam8347 but by the time you do that, why not just wear the wigs and weaves? I tried that for a while but curly clip ins that are kinky textured are MUCH harder to maintain than looser textures, usually more expensive, and generally require me to wear more leave out which means the clip ins will tangle. I just keep my hair twisted under a glueless wig 95 percent of the time for ease of maintenance. If I want my natural hair to look "right" then it takes a lot more effort
omg this, like imagine having fine 4c hair and ppl act as if that’s not a thing and it’s so annoying
Tatiana White did a video on the same concept that natural hair is your pretty privilege. Love the concept!
I'm so proud of us being women of color with thick curly natural hair. I'm happy we are representing our beauty. Thank you all!!
I've noticed that when I wear my natural hair, people are much sweeter towards me. Plus, I attract a lot of good-looking men, which is so bizarre because when I wear braids I don't pull anyone.
I love this video!
Finally, someone who sees the impact of positive promotion.
Intelligent people can see past the agenda set forth to keep Blk Women unaware of the privilege, depth and richness of their beauty.
Thank u for this message. I recently cut my locs off after 21 years of having them. Now I have a twa and i can wash in go. It feels wonderful and our hair creates awesome shapes. With a bit of hair gel and a Kiss twist king brush, my hair forms these cute tiny curls. Our hair is MAGICAL🎉🥰 Let's celebrate❤
Wonderful! Thanks for sharing 🤍
I'm on a mission to change the beauty standard. My hair is gorgeous, straight or curly, the way it grows out of my head. I rarely straighten mine. It's out in its natural state 98% of the time.
Yes! Thank you! More of this passion 🤍🤍
This is true! I don’t have 4c hair I have 4a but the same thing stands! When I wear my natural hair people just go wild. I wish black women understood that the beauty is natural. They lied to you and tricked you to believe it’s not. I used to love switching my hair and wearing weaves but I’m starting to hate it because it’s not African.
Thanks for sharing. Type 4 hair is SO beautiful 🫶🏽🫶🏽
If you hate something about your hair then learn how to meet in the middle. I don't like shrinkage but I love my texture so i either stretch my hair or i wear afro extensions to give my hair length. If you hate your texture than why not try kinky or yaki straight?
This is a good tip for those who hate their hair.
I love our 4c hair texture. How to style it while it’s in a short length is what I think most people find less appealing. I touched on that topic in this video and in some of my other hair videos.
Thanks for sharing!
Yaki is still closer to silky straight. Afro and kinky straight yes
@PrincessYonna1 true but this advice are for ppl that need baby steps instead of cutting weaves off cold turkey
I love the title. You are right about doing styles you are confident in. I tell people in videos their natural hair is beautiful.
Yes! Thank you!
I'm only 35 seconds in, and i just wanted to tell everyone that I've been wearing my natural hair for years now (it's been blonde for years😅) but it's an afro, in it's natural state and i love it!. I get compliments on it everywhere i go, literally. I messed it up a bit through trial and error when coloring it but babbbyyyy it's grown healthier and become way stronger!
I can't wait to post my latest video wearing my natural hair 😊❤. It honestly IS our privilege. Thank you for this video😊
Love this!!
You are a GORGEOUS woman
Thank you!
Once I did my big chop and started my natural hair journey I’ve never felt more beautiful. Our hair compliments our features and we look so exotic with our natural hair or protective styles that are unique to us like braids or twist.
Yes!
Sis, i couldn't have put it better myself. I completely agree with everything you've said so eloquently. 'As a man thinks, so he will be,' says the good Book. And how we see and think about ourselves is a direct function of what we choose to focus our attention on. I've always been convinced about one thing when it comes to this weird world of ours: there are only two categories of humans; those who despite the negativity, hate and evil in the world, deliberately choose to see the positive in everything. And then there are those who choose to see only the negative and bad in circumstances, things and people.
In the end, it's a choice. And you ultimately become what you choose to see.
Thank you for this video! Such a breath of fresh air!!! You are the only TH-camr I have seen who actually admits that us as black women can have pretty privilege. So many videos keep talking about how we are oppressed but I have found that when I wear my natural hair, I become one of the most beautiful women in the room. And thank you for pointing out that what we consume also affects us. I feel like a lot of people like to make reaction videos or always talk about something negative that they see, but people always fail to mention that the internet has an algorithm. The more negativity we see, the more we will believe we have nothing but disadvantage and oppression. Black women's hair is so unique and gorgeous. Our natural hair is indeed a privilege and it is a such a relief to hear someone frame it as that for once
Yes, thank you SO much Takisha!🙌🏾
I recently have been having my natural hair out at the gym I go to and I’ve received so many compliments about it. From my coils to the length. It made me smile cause I was definitely insecure what others would think sadly.
Wow I’m so glad your rocking and loving your beautiful coils! TFS🫶🏽
Sweet video🌺 It’s so important to encourage black women to embrace our natural hair and to be with someone who also embraces it👍🏽👏🏽😘
Well said Talisha!🤍
I experience this. My locs, styled in cute styles, is a game changer amongst all races. Its a sign of womanhood in learning mastery and beauty of your natural hair.
My daughtèr is biracial with 3c texture hair. She loves her hair being free versus in braids. Its lovely seeing her ask to take her braids out so she can wear her fro.

I used to have relaxed hair because that what every one at school had, but I hated it because I had limited styling option. I have now being natural for a year and I absolutely 🥰
Omg yes!!👏🏾🫶🏽
Natural hair attracts me like the smoke of hot pie to a cartoon character
I'm so mad at myself for not realizing how much representation matters. I knew it was true to some extent, but I didn't realize how pervasive it is to always have the "Becky with the good hair" being the lady that gets it all, while the one with 4C is the sidechick or the bestie. I couldn't see how to wear my hair out until I quit instagram and started using Pinterest and following 4C classy ladies living their best Main Character lives. The other day, I opened my feed of Pinterest and realize how much they made me feel like anything is possible. We have our own beauty standards and we've always been the blueprint. Thank you for reminding how important it is to curate our feeds.
Omg! Thank you so much for this!!
Yes, I quit Instagram a month ago, and my self-esteem has doubled🤭
So true!! I am not a social media person but I have had Pinterest since high school. The natural black girl aesthetics, vibes, inspirational collages & quotes are EVERYTHING. It’s crazy that this morning I was thinking about how black women need to divest from the “baddie buss down” looks on ig and get into Pinterest!!
@@LI8A__noir yes 🙌🏾
I love my hair but she doesn't like being out...dries out fast so I keep it wrapped in a scarf and I remove the scarf once indoors...I keep my hair in twists; its the only style I can do BTW. My hair is a mixture of all the 4's I think, not sure as I have not yet come across anyone with my hair type on YT nor in my family....and its short (touches my shoulders at the back and chin length n the front).... I don't need compliments to love my hair either. Its mine and I love it. That is all that matters.
Thanks for sharing your experience and tips.🤍
I can definitely relate with some of them. I like to wrap my hair up when going out in winter to protect it from the cold.
So agree ❤️
I've tried over the years having mine out, wash n gos I do like but it just tangles anf dries out too easily. Working on more bantu knot type of styles where the hair is away.
Your hair may be more dry then mine so these suggestions might not be helpful or have not worked for you, but I always have a spray bottle with some diluted conditioner (to work as a leave-in) that I can use mornings or evenings. I usually do wash n goes so I just spray my hair in sections that I probably made before bed and shake my hair. This gives my hair time to absorb the moisture as I go about my day and the coat is not too heavy that it ends up sealing out moisture or causes to much buildup and dries it more in the end. Keeping my hair stretched with bands or scrunchies helps keep it detangled too. It works for me cause it’s easier to do daily in comparison to other methods
@@c4tac133 very helpful tips. Thanks for sharing babe
Yup my fro always catches eyes honestly ❤ I also wouldn’t want to attract someone who thinks I’m only pretty with weave

This has actually been my experience! Ever since I started wearing my natural hair out more I get many compliments from all people. I feel the most beautiful when I embrace my coils. I cant get enough of it, I just love my God-given tresses so much!
Yes girl! Thanks for sharing such positive experience with us. More of this🤍
I still have a few insecurities I’m working through with my 4C hair. Also balancing a 9-5 and a hair care routine. BUT I’ve never been a wig kinda girl. My mom wore locs and never allowed me to relax my hair at a young age which I’m grateful for. I eventually got locs myself but recently reversed them. I’m loving my natural hair more and more and get compliments for my natural looks at work and in public. I no longer speak negatively about my hair. The people who have hair opposite than mine complain about their hair and not being able to have the versatility I have with kinky cool hair. So before you talk down about your hair, think that others feel the way about their hair too so be grateful.
Natural hair for the win 🥰 side note you are beautiful 😍

Honestly, I have been wearing my natural hair out, personally, I love long hair
I'm trying to grow it out. But I do get mostly positive reviews from White men mostly (that's who I attract all the time). Black men avoid dark-skinned natural hair women like the plague (in my experience)
I attract a lot of Hispanic men also. Even more so since I went and got locs. I think men of other cultures Are used to light skin and straight hair and prefer something unique. Whereas black men have the same features, they don't appreciate them.
😆😆 that last sentence is a hot take!
So refreshing seeing great content about natural hair again. New subscriber!
Yes, you’re welcome!☺️🤍
I love this title. if black women took time to be patient with their hair which is what I did in HS now when my hair is at its worst it’s still its best because it’s well cared for. Wigs/ getting braids is expensive and a lot to learn just like natural hair. It’s much more worth it bc it’s God given my hair means more to me knowing I’m created wonderfully and I thought I should change it.
Exactly! You nailed it babe👏🏾
Went out with my natural hair yesterday and today and I felt so confident. I’ve come a long way from where I used to be. My Turkish neighbour lady even gave a compliment today ☺️.

I promise you having natural hair sets you apart, you're perceived different, you attract different, there's something so refreshing when a black woman wears their natural hair. This weave situation is a scam, we were built with these feature and skin tone that complement our natural hair. I've never owned a wig in my life, and I don't have regrets, because God did not make a mistake with the type of hair I have. ❤
Wow, love love love this!!
Natural hair actually doesn’t break easily if you know how to care for it properly I encourage you all to check it natural curl specialist
I have embraced my natural hair for a year now, and I am truly thrilled about it! For the past year, I have chosen not to wear wigs or lace fronts, and I have succeeded in doing so.

I have relaxed hair but during the time I wear my natural hair, I encourage all my friends to go natural and they didn’t want to because of their curl pattern. Fast forward to now they are all natural and they loved it. Sometimes they say that they want to relax their hair I encourage them to wear their natural hair as I genuinely feel that they are doing a great job with their natural hair.

You made valid points.

My ex boyfriend loved my natural hair, especially when it was a fro. I started to get jealous because it’s like he loved that hair more than me. It’s weird to think I was nervous about wearing my hair out. Because I’d get so many compliments on it from men of all races.

Disclaimer: this is not directed at the creator of this video, but to the people in the comments and the natural hair community in gerneral.
While its important to remember all hair and atyles are beautiful, i think we should also remember that everyone can do whatever they want with their hair and just because one person may not wear their hair natural doesnt mean they hate themselves or are ashamed of their hair or dont know how to take care of it. It is completely up to personal preference and i would love to see black women embracing and respecting everyone's choice in what they do with their own hair. No one's hair is the standard. I wish the natural hair community could just let people make the choice for themselves instead of looking down on those who choose to go a different path.
Thank you very much for pointing this out. You made a valid point!🙏🏾
I also hope we understand that when people promote natural hair, the aim shouldn’t be to condemn other hair preferences. Our focus should be on correcting the distasteful stereotypes around kinky hair.
Because type 4 hair is largely the least popular or preferred, it’s beautiful to see people embrace & celebrate it more.🫶🏽
In addition, we have been blessed with a hair texture that can be styled into different forms which is beautiful to see, but we encourage BW to ALSO be proud of wearing their natural hair publicly.
....as long as a person has broken free from the straight hair is "better" mindset, then the natural hair community is fine with it. The idea that it is 'better' came from colonisers telling us we are ugly and only their hair looks good. We want Blacks to be emancipated in every way, which includes accepting & admiring how God made us. Once we all can love ourselves, then do whatever you want.
This lady's hair is so absolutely gorgeous. Her hair can be worn as glamorous, casual comedy for any event her hair is it!

There is always a way to love your hair, you just have to learn to work with it. I struggled to love my hair until I got locs. After a few years locs resolved my issues with length, styling, and finances. My hair is now the longest it’s ever been in my life

As for natural hair, i have finally embraced my natural hair and i realised how hidden my facial features were behind all these ridiculous wigs lol. Imagine i have never worn my natural hair out, only during my childhood....and it really dawned on me as a grown adult that I've been hiding my natural hair. I had to acknowledge this hate i had for it but now i love it. I found a wonderful hairdresser that knows how to treat and style my hair. So now It's growing, and it is the healthiest it has been in 31 years of my life. I honestly do not care what anyone thinks about my hair, it makes me feel confident and i feel beautiful.
Omg I love this!! TFS🤗👏🏾
Can’t remember where the earnings are from. Had it for a while, but most likely Shein.
Hello. I love the message of this video. Just one point that i think is really important. Said in kindness: You said our hair grows slower. It doesn't. Our hair grows at the same rate as others. We may not retain the length depending on a number of factors - styles we're wearing, strength of our individual hair heat application, etc.
Thank you 🙏🏾
@Tinuola thank YOU 🙂❤️
I miss wearing mines 😭think i just never liked black hair on me though
My hair grows faster and more healthy wearing it natural. Thin spots thicken up also. For me something about having the sun on my hair is very halpful. My scalp gets very itchy at times (especially when not wearing it out in sun), so surprisingly washing 2 or more times a week helps.I understand that every scalp is different.❤
Thanks for sharing this 🙏🏾
Ladies. I want you all to bear in mind your hair texture will change as you age and your hair turns gray and white. I say this as my mother, from Ghana, recently passed away. My mom always let me play in her hair. she had course 4c hair. it was like a brillo pad, thick and strong. as i got older i continued to do her hair. as she got near the end of life her hair was all white, and soft like cotton candy. very fluffy and straight. As a cosmetologist i know once melanin leaves hair the structure changes. even now my 4a tight coily fine hair is changing as it turns gray. i love my curls but so know as it grays its getting straight. love your hair NOW, TODAY. love what you have because it will change and you will reminisce back to days of old. enjoy your hair. i stopped wearing wigs and hair extensions. nothing on this earth can match the beauty of what is naturally yours. always replicated but never duplicated. ❤
Wow, thank you!

I needed this video!
I’ve been natural for many years. Proud to ssy that I’ve never wore braids, tracks, wigs or anything outside my natural hair. The compliments vary from other naturals, mature men, white men and sparks the conversation of hair from those outside our race. I won’t call it pretty privilege because I’m experiencing discrimination especially because of my choice of wearing my natural hair. Regardless, I wear my hair my way and for me and not for others. That’s the most important point. Wear your natural hair because you want to but not because it’s expected by other naturals or because it looks like the style that’s in. Be your true self and if straight hair does it for you than do you Boo! Braids, weaves, wigs and anything else you do to your hair is your choice. It’s your hair so be confident and enjoy it!
Wow tysm Shiela!🫶🏽
