This is the reason I don't want to try lace front wigs. I know if I like it too much and notice people treat me better and I'm getting more oppurtunity I'm going to start feeling funny about my natural self. I'll stay to my other protective styles and keep my self-worth in tact.
You are so brave for speaking up like this!!!! Soooo many people LOVE talking about colorism, featurism, texturism, etc. But, hardly anyone actually talks about the ways internalized anti-blackness affects THEM personally in their OWN self-image. This is amazing! They always conveniently miss that part.... I know from personal experience it's a really difficult thing to admit to yourself let alone to other people (whether they're loved ones or strangers), but someone's gotta start these difficult conversations if we want to truly set ourselves free!
This was soooo good! Got me thinking about why I stopped wearing wigs, but that's just apart of the reasons why I do the things I do now.
Ngl.. this definitely woke somthing up in me... because i feel the same way about my hair, if its not slicked dwn with braids or in a wash and go with define curls i dont feel comfortable at all, never could go out with my hair in its 100% natural state with no product... but now i gotta ask myself why ? 🤔..i really like these thought provoking videos.
Why? Because you care about how people view you too much.
I ❤ you Tarek! Transparency and self awareness is everything! Thank you for being you.
The self awareness ✨ your awakening has brought you to a place of observation of who are you and who you've adopted from the energy around you ✨ You are gorgeous 🥰
Thank you for your truth Tarek. We love you.
Hi Theon! 🌞 Hope all is well with you! ❣️ Sending you extra DIVINE LOVE AND LIGHT today from DALLAS ❣️ ❤️ 🙏
You wear both looks very well. You’re definitely still apart if the platinum blonde brand for many ❤️❤️
Aww i love the growth and appreciation of yourself 💜.
You are wise beyond your years. Thank you for sharing this journey. Many don’t want to admit this and your transparency is inspiring. I wear my hair in its natural state for the same reasons.
Thank you so much for sharing 🙏 I can relate to the thoughts you were having so hearing you talk about it helps me to heal as well. 🙏🙏🙏💗
Both look so bomb ♥️♥️
I resonate with this so much! I cut off all of my hair two years ago because I kept straightening my hair too much and I didn’t appreciate my natural curl Pattern once I cut my hair I vowed to never wear my natural hair straight again and to appreciate my beautiful hair. Black is beautiful 🖤 thank you for this video.
Hi Tarek, I’ve watched you so much over the years and we’re the same age, actually. I am so proud of how transparent you have become from your first couple of videos. Wishing u so much light and love
Absolutely beautiful Tarek. Keep doing you and spreading awareness for us all. Thank you love for all that you do.❤️✨👑
Oh I can so relate.I was once addicted to lightening my hair & wear light contact lenses.I didn't want to leave my house unless I had a pair of contact lenses and lighter hair color.I feel so much free now.
Damn. This was the rawest, realest talk.
OMG I just saw your Kehinde Wiley portrait! His work is beautiful.
I'm so glad u realized how HANDSOME u are w/o all of the extra!
Thats so nice honest and so cool video...almost as you natural hair and eyes! Its cool to be who you are...and love yourself.
Hey Martino! 👋 Hope all is well with you! ❣️ Sending you extra DIVINE LOVE AND LIGHT today from DALLAS ❣️ ❤️ 🙏
Thank you for this! Been growing out my fro after cutting and dying it a lot. It’s so important to embrace yourself on all fronts. It’s a catch 22 for me because I genuinely love hats but I know in the past I’ve used them to hide my hair.
man i love you for this 👍🏽👍🏽
absolutely right I don't mind my afro being big and black or just having a big afro. 🔥🔥🔥
I absolutely love this dialogue you shared in this. It flows effortlessly and resonates with me. 🫶🏾🫶🏾
Keep speaking your truth despite the hate comments and video responses. You are behind honest and talking about the things nobody wants to admit to. These videos are so soothing and refreshing . I feel seen . I used to constantly have a perm and when I was old enough for a weave, I never showed my natural hair for 4 years. I have locs now and I love them. Wish I did it sooner
Hi Cutie Tae! 💓 Hope all is well with you! ❣️ Sending you extra DIVINE LOVE AND LIGHT today from DALLAS ❣️ ❤️ 🙏
This resonates soooooo much! I even went bald to release the blonde, but went back because I didn’t like what I saw. I got lost in it and it ultimately rips your hair. I loved the look, attention, and the fact I COULD rock it. But deep down I’m ready to change my health from the inside out. I’m still blonde, but before seeing this I said I was growing this out and releasing the blonde.. blessings and kudos to you! ❤️
I ❤ this so much!! 💯
Thanking God For This New color I love this know more dye or perms
You’re speaking to me!
I felt the same way when I went natural, I got way less attention from men. Allot of the complements I get on my hair now are from other natural women.
This is so brave, loving, and self-aware! Especially in this age when younger Black generations are watching you! I think if content creators are out getting awards and recognition for thriving as Black content creators, we should hold them to this standard (with compassion - everyone’s on a journey to loving themselves as am I)!
Thank you so much 🙏🏻
Thank you for trusting us to be you.
This is so good
I just came from a video from someone who was completely twisting all of your words wow. Totally get where you are coming from though despite youtubers spinning your narrative
I love this 🥹
This is how I felt after I broke my white frames. I felt they became who I was from the exoticness it gave from a dark-skinned black boy pulling them off. I realized 1 I can pull of many other things and 2 hair grows and changes and so do replaceable frames. You can always keep creating looks that are you. You don't have to limit yourself to something just because others praise it
I love this video.
What made it fall out? was it left in for too long or what was the mistake made?
This happened to me too & then I stopped bleaching my hair that platinum blonde too once it fell out .
Was it your brand, or how you was branded?
ok then how come you bleach your eyebrows now, in your newest vids
Omg, I was 100% the same way. If my hair was freshly bleached I cancelled plans or I wore a Durag. I was even in the mirror saying, “I just don’t feel like myself, without my blonde hair.” SMH
I just stopped your video abt being cancelled and growing, went to this one and it LITERALLY started up at the exact same point at, "started the campaign"??? if thats not a sign I need to be watching you!!!!!!
Hey Tarek, I love the purple pants you wore for your birthday. I am graduating from USC in a couple of months and I want to wear them but I am having trouble with the sizing. How did the sizing go for you ? I'm 5'9.5 with a 32 waist but I'm not sure about the conversion is because it's based on women's or men's clothing and im not sure which gender the pants were created for.
Only itstarekali can message, but you can read, react
i know this is serious but the slow motion zoom got me
How did you fix your hair? Minoxidil?
Absolutely love you so much I have been watching you and following you on Instagram love your honesty and amazing content
This is why I started to wear my natural hair more.
Happy Black History Month 🤎
The real ones was in the struggle with you, we knew mamas.
U r too wise beyond your years nephew
I am not my hair I’m at not this skin I’ am not your expectations nooooo ! - India arie said it best
Can you do a vid on how you grew your hair back out fully, after it fell out? My hair was damaged by bleach a few years ago, and I have these spots in my head that are either very thin or damn near bald. I don’t know what to do.
biotin (vitamin supplements) you can get them at the pharmacy
Minoxidil works.
Got to get your vitamins up and use castor oil and virgin hair fertilizer
Happy to hear this I use to dye my hair so frequent now it’s super thin any tips ??😢
Only do it every 2 weeks. Don't leave color base on longer than an hour. I've been bleaching for over 23 years trust me!
@@mack1820 thanks for the tip I’ll give it a try
@@kay_kay1703 You're welcome. Also you can do it twice as long as wait 24 hours. It will lift it more and get rid of dark patches.
Use hair masks weekly to restore the moisture
And use non chemical dies
Thy exit
And Dont die ur hair often
We’re going to be best friends one day 💕
🖤
Be true to yourself
Watch Himba tribe hair in Namibia. Afro people
Humans are not supposed to be seperated. Thats why they also try to look Afro to feel.closer to us.
It is nature.
We were forced to separate from part of ourselves .
❤
Bravo 👏 👏 👏 you are cute 10
Women change their hair color all the time. It's all just about the mood
When you elderly . Your silver wont be black
We miss the blonde 🙈♥️
Nobody thought you were mixed stop it 🤣🤣
That's what you took away from this entire video?
If that was your biggest takeaway, you need to keep watching so you can learn to love yourself and not hate on others. ❤
@@mercistephens7325It wasn’t but I felt commenting it b&$@h
@@mojjim2177 well I hope you felt good getting the attention you don't normally get then
I did🤷🏽♀️
nobody cares
you care for watching the video and getting him the coin. Take your misery elsewhere
