3:05, Absolutely gorgeous, what makes that picture even more beautiful is, she looks like she's not even acknowledging the camera's presence. Not posing for a picture, but just being.
2:40 is the truth. Makes me wonder y African women have so much complex about it. Glad the natural hair movement is coming back in force especially here in Nigeria
Great video my brother. You got it right. I’m from Igbo just migrated to the States recently. The sad news is that our women will commend this video but still spend the more money than any other people in buying fake hair and Brazilian hair. They judge their beauty by looking like a white woman. Our celebrities are also contributing to this harm. One love motherland.
I see a non-blacks/Africans wearing "cornrolls", "Boxer braids", "Nap balls" and calling it a trend and "it's just hair". It really hurts especially in a community I've been in for 5+ years. Everytime I see cultural appropriation to my culture and call the idols or celebrities out for it, the fans always defense them. I'm getting so tired of it
I think you should try to see it as emulation. They wear those styles cuz they see black people do it and they generally consider black Americans in specific to be cool so they imitate it. Years ago, it's a thing that's completely unheard of, I see it as a good thing. I'm fine with it as long as it's not meant to disrespect us. Also you misspelled "cornrows" lol
@@soulsearching2722 not in kpop they like black culture in kpop but a lot of them have said very messed up things about black people with their whole chest..
Caucasians were never so interested in our hair until recent.....this is why they made it a requirement to go to school to get a braiding license so they could "steal" another culture identity. (Have you all seen and the "black &white" couple commercials?)
Paranoid. There are lots of other sides to this. I've seen plenty of complaints about stylists who don't know how to do textured hair. It's a huge problem in entertainment. The flip side of that is like entry into that segment of the hair industry for black stylists. Regular people are a split. A staunch racist is never going to admit anything positive about textured hair, but it's been clear to me for ages that others are interested by all the "don't touch my hair" comments. Now you see more people openly admitting admiration. Personally, I'd never want that cold flat stuff growing from my scalp.
Many aspects of African American culture and invention have already been absored by the whole of American society. Culture is one of Americas greatest exports and black culture is a part of that. Somehow black people aren't the ones capitalizing the most off of that.
@@littlegothgirl8869 what do you mean by aren't capitalising? Because I know for a fact most Africans still rock their natural hair and wear it with pride.
Our is hair is unique, we don't have texture like others, we don't need to be like everybody else. We were destined to be different and pop and stand out. We are AMAZING
Thanks for this video am a 4C hair and have just gone natural. Nothing like Avocado Hair mask and Shea butter neem and hemp oil in my natural mane. Am loving it
This explains why I've been obsessed with my hair since I went back natural! I have locs now and taking care of them is almost like a ritual for me! Loved the video! Thank you so much!
I LOVE that! That is how I think of taking care of my hair: a ritual. It can be a pain in the ass sometimes but it is a labor of love. Especially when I think of how our ancestors have done this ritual before us.
I love Afrikan people, style, MUSIC, funk, the way the English language gets flipped and the remembrance of ancient culture and ancient knowledge. Cant get enough of that good
I once caught a slap from my maths teacher for being late to class. The previous lesson was swimming and I had washed my hair in the showers and was drying it. She said it was nonsense when I told her thst my hair takes longer to dry than my white and Asian classmates.
I returned back natural and never looked back. I would marvel at my children’s hair like omg they have the prettiest curls ( they are Ethiopian and Cape Verdean ) I wanted my hair to be as beautiful and it is! I love my natural texture ! Just as much as I adore my kids.
I am wondering if anybody else had this kind of practice in their family? My grandmother used to save her hair ever since she was a child. She later used to make dolls that were filled with her hair. These black dolls were wonderful for my sister and me because they smelled like my grandmother. She never threw away her hair.
It’s important to mention all over the world ppl use braids even dreads so ppl know and learn not to attack others for something they have in their culture too. This is aimed specifically towards western ppl, education is key
I love how he says "our girls," and praises black woman for standing up for our hair. Taking a stand takes bravery and it takes bravery to stand by someone
Another beautiful video brother, a wonderful way to start off the new year! Africans have the best hair on the planet, our hair DEFY'S GRAVITY & is like a plant that needs lots of care and love!
This happened within the last week! Anyone saying this is not a way to defame our cultrue is blind or obtuse. 21st century and their still hating! Sad.

@@nokuphilakhumalo4269 Oh ok. People of the Great Lakes region have a connection with some Southern African ethnic groups. It's noticeable in the languages.
Our hair is blessed by God himself and we are the ones that started every hair trend on the earth. I love being black, it's truly a blessing to know that their is greatness in our history and our bodies be blessed brother.
Have you read THE book on the subject of African hair? Maybe this always seemed very obvious to you but it illuminated to me the fact that African hair styles have survived to majorly influence the hair styles of modern Afro-American pop culture. Like there is a direct lineage that survived Jim Crow and slavery despite slavers and racists trying to suppress African hair culture
Hi , every ethnic group has its unique beauty regarding hair. To my opinion African hair is very thick/ stubborn , which needs quite some care . The good aspect is , that there are many possibilities to style it, for ex. cornrows or traditional styles , like a basket. It seems Africans are very creative to beautify their appearance. Greetings Conny
Thank you for your videos. As well as the time and effort it takes to put them together. All of your subscribers are not African by descent. You're doing a great service. Keep up the good work. Be safe and have a Happy New Year.
Please can you do something about the ancient Togo in general then focus on the mina ethnic group of people? Happy new year and more grease to your elbow brother.

Remember the 70’s when afros were a big trend? We need to bring that back. It’ll encourage our women to go natural And ISTG didn’t X do something similar to 5:18 at one of his concerts?
