Oh my goodness! I am so sad that people have done such ignorant things to you. It makes no sense! I am the Divorced mother of an 18-year-old biracial daughter and it is really interesting how the world views biracial women and how something as hair can give or deny you social currency depending on texture. You are a beautiful young woman with a beautiful spirit and keep doing you!💜
The woman who said her daughter had "good hair" thought she was invited to the cookout, because she knew the lingo. She was shocked that you weren't impressed.
Sorry you went/go through that. Your hair is Beautiful, your beautiful. Once people get pass looking at the outside so hard they will better off. It took me a while to get use to my Beautiful Kinky Coils. Some people just don't know better. Good for you loving yourself & parents too. 'Lovelife'
Joy-el, you're gorgeous inside and out! You are self-assured and you know who you are. Other people's problem is not your own; these men and women are trapped in their insecurity and ignorance; keep moving and remember that you are neither ignorant nor insecure. Thank you for sharing these stories.
Sis. I feel your pain. Even here in Africa where having natural hair is a lot common, people are still stare at me in a funny way anytime I wear my hair in its afro state. I remember when an old man aggressively pulled my hair to find out if its a wig. I was really mad and shocked. Its really annoying.
Which country is that here in Africa? So unfortunate...atleast in South Africa, Swaziland and Mozambique...Afro hair is not stared at or seen as something rare
That last story with the guy slapping you at the back of your head made me cringe. That is the most disgusting thing I've heard in a while. I do admire your bravery and applaud how you stood up to some of those people. Your hair is so beautiful and so are you. The world we live in needs to get on board because natural hair aint going away.
Ignorance is no excuse for their hate. Your hair is healthy and gorgeous. It makes me sad to hear such rudeness you've endured throughout your life. Live your life free and natural.
You have gorgeous hair. Thick, beautiful, healthy hair. I have been wanting to try the 4c line. My go to line is mielle organics. My hair is 3c/4a but I definitely have some 4c in the back and I love my kinky, curly, afro textured hair
I live in Oregon (city right next to Portland) and I big chopped two months ago. I have relaxed my hair since 1981 and am natural for the first time in 40 years. Go to a little convenience store and had just taken my hair out of twists. Cashier says “Wow, I’ve always wished for hair that curly, but then I think… nah.” And like you, I chose to ignore and wished her a good night. People are a trip. Thank you 🙏🏽 for helping me so much, and so many others, on our natural hair journeys.
I’m so very sorry you’ve experienced all of that. It is very sad the amount of ignorance that exists. However, your hair is beautiful! I’m happy to see that after all of that, you held on to the pride you have in your hair. You are beautiful, and so is your hair!
I think people with afro hair often get more frequent (and bizarre) comments/questions about it if they have light skin. I don't know why but I guess it's because people see it as more "weird" or unexpected, and maybe also because people just feel more comfortable commenting. I look similar to you (type 4 hair, light skin) and I've talked to my siblings (type 3c/4 hair, brown skin) about it - they've definitely not had as many strange interactions about their hair. They haven't had so many people touch it without asking either.
I'm brown skin with 3c/4a hair. Hate when people ask are you mixed with white or Native American. I just roll my eyes and say not that I know of. But of course people persist I am. Just ignorant for people to assume shit like that.
@@Danity56 I'm brown skinned and have the same hair type. I get those what are you mixed with questions as well. But since I'm dark I also get people who don't believe it's my hair. They will ask if I have a twist out, texturizer, or a Jeri Curl.
Darkskin people get as much weird interactions because of afro hair as light skinned people. If your hair is type 4 they’re gonna overreact regardless.
You are hair goals! Mine is too thin to be as luxurious as yours, but seeing you embrace your hair is absolutely lovely. I grew up with people telling me I had "bad" hair, and when I transitioned, it was mental as well as physical. And when I big chopped 2 years ago, that was definitely an adjustment. Now I'm growing mine back out and love that you share so much with us.
Crazy part about the 1st big afro story, i get that reaction from BLACK guys here in Atlanta......yes Atlanta. Loose Natural hair should be IN here, but it's really not. Twists, braids, locs, twa......yes but not a huge fluffed out afro.
While I was listening to your natural hair horror stories I was admiring your gorgeous hair. It is so thick and lush and healthy. Your hair is goals for me.
Great vid Joy-el :) I feel like kinky coily hair is intimidating and also extremely fetishized. I feel like people that say that Afro hair isn’t good hair lack confidence and hide behind a “societal standard”. When rude people try to insult me, they always try to say something about my kinky hair. I usually laugh and keep walking or laugh and change the subject if I can’t walk away. It’s not that what people say does not annoy me, it’s the fact that laughing at them completely disarms them and it typically makes them look inward.
@RapstarBara I mostly agree 👍 with you. Black people always totally intimates other. I remember a Latina asking "why do Black women always act so secure (what she said next was interpreted as especially since they have that hair and black skin.🙄 That was very interesting about social currency given or not based on hair texture.
Unfortunately, your Sally's Beauty story is not rare! It's bad enough that all of the black hair care products are strategically placed at the back of the store (at least the ones I've visited except the newest one in the Bronx), but if your skin tone starts at olive and goes to dark chocolate, the salespersons won't even speak to you! I don't shop the store. I either order directly from the black owned company or go another store. Glad your experiences have made you stronger! Thanks for sharing your stories!
@@molierresignoga Actually, the Bronx is not a bad place or weird at all. Racism and division are everywhere. I referred to the Sally's Beauty store in the Bronx as having all of the Black Hair Care Products up front.
Keep being you ❤ 🤍 💙 🧡 🖤 ! Beautiful person, outside as well as inside. You have made it easier for me to love my hair in all its natural glory🙂 please keep doing you and ill continue to watch!
Not biracial, but my hair (calf length locs), was always being touched, grabbed or cut by strangers, my frustrations lead me to buy a ⚾ bat. Kid u not. Awkward carrying that around, instead, a 3pd hand weight worked like a charm. 😂
Your stories are unbelievable! I guess I shouldn’t be so surprised at the boldness and ignorance of others. So happy you know you are beautiful and believe in yourself.
Your experiences resonate with so many of us with similar hair. The haters and ignorance of people will come and go just as long as they keep their damn hands off my hair 😂
I feel that way about my weight. I eat very little and can't lose weight. I have a lot of "concern" but as long as it doesn't coke from my doctor. Keep that to yourself. Your hair is lovely!
I've been watching your journey from the start. Not sure how it happened, yet so very glad. It's been amazing to watch you grow. I am so sorry you've encountered what you have. Unfortunately, some folks feel entitled to our bodies. I'm an Auntie and you are sharing the gospel to others about self-acceptance and self-love. Wishing you and yours continued health, blessings and greatness. Keep going!!
Yes, Wyoming is a very non diverse state. I would like to go to Yellowstone one day. But I don't think I could travel there unless I was traveling with a group. SMH! At the guy that said "We don't see your kind around here". What did he mean by "Your kind"? Plus those guys making the hand gestures about your hair. I would have told them. My hair is just like a halo right. My hair is heavenly.
This is the reality of being “different” and “other than” . You are young and prior to your journey of wearing your hair in an Afro hadn’t dealt with these types of prejudice. I encourage you to continue to be you and be different in that other peoples assumptions about you and in some cases their rudeness about your hair, won’t dictate how you feel because you are you. It’s the same to a degree when someone is pregnant, suddenly everybody feels empowered to touch your tummy often without permission. I make comments like “ did you lose something in here? and laugh if someone touches my hair without permission or I touch their hair too! 💕
I LOVE that you love your hair!!! I stopped getting relaxers when my daughter was around 2 or 3 because I wanted her to love her hair. Well, I felt I had to be the example and learn to love my hair. It took some time, but I did learn to love it. My daughter is now 14 and she wears her natural hair or protective styles. I love that I have been able to help her see the beauty and versatility of our hair. (The next time somebody wants to touch my hair, I’m going to ask if I can touch theirs. Maybe they’ll see how weird that is. 😉)
I'm so sorry those things happened to you, but I'm happy to know you can look back and laugh at those ignorant small people. Your hair is beautiful and you know it!!! Thanks for sharing sis:)
Wow……just WOW! When I tell you every statement simmered in like butter on my momma’s homemade cornbread I mean just that. I mean literal story of my life👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I ❤️ you and this!! Good for you being able to laugh at them now because the joke’s on them💁🏾♀️
J-Boogie...Joy-el some people will take the silver lining off a cloud just to see it rain on somebody parade! You are to be respected as a person whose ideals and representation is valid. It's just great to see you achieve your success regardless of who wants to weigh you down with trivial, invalid, shallow responses to what is accepted, whole and worthy. Keep it 💯 - x
Girlllllllllll!!!! Alll of these!!!! And people treat you on how you have your hair !! So serious ive tested this theory on dating sites and just going on errands. If i have it out in an afro or twisted or a wig. Smh crazy! Positive note you are beautiful regardless inside and out!! Love your channel!!
Wow, I am so sorry to hear about your experiences. I haven’t had even half of the horrible encounters you’ve had despite being fully, visibly black with a similar hair type and also very frequently around white people. Though I do attract weirdos when I wear my hair an afro too, lol. Major respect to you for not going back to straight hair when you know it can make your life easier.
Omg i hate that the original people of the Earth get such disrespect. Ignorant people make hair such a big deal in a negative way. 😡 sorry those idiots were unbelievable to you. I love your texture in twists. You inspired me to twist mine again. 😊 your so pretty!
The reactions to natural, afro textured hair can be crazy. I've had more than a few people invade my privacy, reach in and touch my hair. This was done by other black people BTW. Very annoying to say the least. The fact that you were pretty much assaulted over your hair is insane😳 So sorry that happened to you! People made the first 3 yrs of my natural hair journey exhausting at times. Nowadays, I find my hair is no longer the topic of discussion. Probably due to more women wearing their type 4 hair out than before. I love how you rock your natural hair with no apologies! ❤️The more of us they see...the more society & our communities have to get used to the hair that grows out our scalp.
A removed cousin was summoned to her daughter's school and told that braids, specifically extentions, violated the school dress code. This twice removed cousin is a beautiful girl, now woman, with waist length natural hair. She was NOT wearing extentions. Her mother brought a comb with her to prove that her daughter's braids were completely natural. I'm seething right now over this racist trope about CRT (critical race theory) being taught in elementary through high school and how it is affecting white pupils self esteem. BTW, CRt is taught at mostly at the post graduate level. I believe this (CRT) was popularized to neutralize the multi-ethnic BLM which IS NOT RACIST and only seeking to have Blacks not treated like insects!
Im an afro natural now kinky curly similar texture to yours but here in london ive had a man walk pass me and push my head down and i had a long straight wig on. Your not alone weird people in the world.
Some people just got the devil working on them you don't treat anyone like that nobody's supposed to put their hands on you I mean how I already know people are ignorant because the devil does work on people, I'm very sorry you went through that
Good Day Joy-el, Love your content you are extremely entertaining. I have written an albums worth of songs using you as a muse. Thanks for your stories.
Dealing with people with all of the ignorance , only they know you have the absolute best hair I mean really they know this, a white person told me she wish her hair could stand up and out like mine said she was jealous
These people need to come out of the 50s They dont know how fortunate they are that you are nicer than some others might have been. Had this happened to me as a kid I would have been screaming STRANGER DANGER!!!! lol
Ah man, I feel ya on people touching your hair. While people never touch my hair when it's natural (I'm also mixed), they love to touch it when it's in braids. This one man touched my hair in such an intimate way and got all up in my business calling me beautiful and I was so creeped out. I don't get why Black/mixed women are such a target for this type of attention from especially males. In my situation it's always young white men who do it and I just don't get it. I never invited anyone to touch me that way. What's more surprising is that it almost always catches me completely off guard to the point where I never know what to say. One of the guys who did it was very attractive and I realized after the fact that I should've said something but somehow his level of attractiveness made it really hard. Now, so often when I'm out if my hair is in some sort of braids, I wear a hoodie up over my head or a hat lol and try to make myself seem very inconspicuous and tomboyish.
i always get older white/hispanic women or older white men trying to touch my hair and telling me i remind them of someone black they now lmao. but its never been someone in their 20s like me
You are amazingly beautiful. And your eyes are fantastic. I am not mixed race but I look mixed race. I have very green eyes and had med blond hair. Ihis was about 50 years ago at a time when this was deemed odd. I had a mother who had 2C hair and she just refused to help me know how to manage my 3C kinks. Luckily I learned to manage and now feel blessed. I think you are blessed too. These times are just right for the natural hair movement. And I'm loving watching you manipulate your 3C hair. so
@@dawudj2286 Yes I think I an mixes race also because many people have remarked on my fair coloring and some ancestors have been lost through "passing". I love❤ myself and I think my blackness/whiteness is beautiful and will probably do a
Oktoberfest in Port Elizabeth South Africa where it’s predominantly black people.. some Afrikaans and German Folk at the festival just put their hands in my fro at the bar 😕.. or were outright staring and pointing. TF ?
Girl... It be killing me how some of these people have this sense of entitlement! And like you said this is not a petting zoo, we are not a rare breed or a rare type of human, we are human beings. And in some cases it could be considered assault where you just come up and touch someone you don't know. I don't even want to say what could happen if the shoe were on the other foot... Smh 🤦🏾♀️
What a shame that normal hair is constant being pointed out. This why I always have my hair in a bun. I dont like random people feeling up on my hair or staring at me its absolutely rude! And they are adults needing this kind of education 🙄 😒
You are beautiful and your hair is gorgeous! Love 4C!

Exactly is what God gave you be happy with it.
Take it all in stride, Joy-El. You are beautifully unique and it apparently strikes some initially. You really should be a model of some sort.
Good Day Joy-el, Love your content you are extremely entertaining. I have written an albums worth of songs using you as a muse. Thanks for your stories.
Love your content. Story and hair time..
Dealing with people with all of the ignorance , only they know you have the absolute best hair I mean really they know this, a white person told me she wish her hair could stand up and out like mine said she was jealous
I Enjoyed the video. Did you walk the 3 miles or tur around? Your hair is amazing and thats why theyre speechless.
🥰
He really went and said the, "we don't see too much of your kind round here(insert tobacco and spitoon)" line!
Right!?!! I was so scared 😭
These people need to come out of the 50s
They dont know how fortunate they are that you are nicer than some others might have been.
Had this happened to me as a kid I would have been screaming STRANGER DANGER!!!! lol
As an Internet aunty I and sorry people didn't behave correctly however you are truly a beautiful girl inside and out.
Ah man, I feel ya on people touching your hair.
While people never touch my hair when it's natural (I'm also mixed), they love to touch it when it's in braids. This one man touched my hair in such an intimate way and got all up in my business calling me beautiful and I was so creeped out. I don't get why Black/mixed women are such a target for this type of attention from especially males. In my situation it's always young white men who do it and I just don't get it. I never invited anyone to touch me that way. What's more surprising is that it almost always catches me completely off guard to the point where I never know what to say. One of the guys who did it was very attractive and I realized after the fact that I should've said something but somehow his level of attractiveness made it really hard. Now, so often when I'm out if my hair is in some sort of braids, I wear a hoodie up over my head or a hat lol and try to make myself seem very inconspicuous and tomboyish.
i always get older white/hispanic women or older white men trying to touch my hair and telling me i remind them of someone black they now lmao. but its never been someone in their 20s like me
Does the hair have to be soaking wet for the styling cream as well (or just wet)?
You are beautiful
Knuckle deep 😂😂 that made me laugh… people are so weird
You are amazingly beautiful. And your eyes are fantastic. I am not mixed race but I look mixed race. I have very green eyes and had med blond hair. Ihis was about 50 years ago at a time when this was deemed odd. I had a mother who had 2C hair and she just refused to help me know how to manage my 3C kinks. Luckily I learned to manage and now feel blessed. I think you are blessed too. These times are just right for the natural hair movement. And I'm loving watching you manipulate your 3C hair.
so
I’m sure you are mixed. Have you had a DNA test?
@@dawudj2286 Yes I think I an mixes race also because many people have remarked on my fair coloring and some ancestors have been lost through "passing". I love❤ myself and I think my blackness/whiteness is beautiful and will probably do a
Him: We don't see to much of your kind around here.
Me: oh, come on. I'm sure you have beautiful people in this town 👀 😁
Hi new stubbier! Question where did you buy the Felicia Leatherwood brush?
I found mine on Amazon I think. Also try Googling it :)
I hate you had to deal with this. These people are normal so bored with life they gotta say something to put themselves up, and put you down! Sad!
😲
Next time they make a comment or do a gesture on how big your hair is tell them thank you 😊
Oktoberfest in Port Elizabeth South Africa where it’s predominantly black people.. some Afrikaans and German Folk at the festival just put their hands in my fro at the bar 😕.. or were outright staring and pointing. TF ?
How do you maintain your afros at night to keep them so perfect for the next day......because I want to wear my afros
I just put a satin bonnet on over it and then fluff it out with my fingers, a little bit of water, and some leave in the next morning :)
@@SharmaineJoyel ok thanks 😊
❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Girl... It be killing me how some of these people have this sense of entitlement! And like you said this is not a petting zoo, we are not a rare breed or a rare type of human, we are human beings. And in some cases it could be considered assault where you just come up and touch someone you don't know. I don't even want to say what could happen if the shoe were on the other foot... Smh 🤦🏾♀️
What a shame that normal hair is constant being pointed out. This why I always have my hair in a bun. I dont like random people feeling up on my hair or staring at me its absolutely rude! And they are adults needing this kind of education 🙄 😒
