I get a lot of "positive" comments from people of other races when I wear my hair "out" at work and while that's nice and all, I frankly don't give a rats behind about what anyone thinks about the hair on my head! I love my natural hair and that ALL that counts!
ReplyDeleteNatural is best!
ReplyDeleteI never cared what anyone thought about my hair. I have long naturally curly hair and I get it blown out and get it colored blonde once a year and I remember a white girl saying I'm trying to look white I was like honey no I am doing me so don't hate πππ
ReplyDeleteI went out with this black girl and went for a kiss and she slapped my hand away when I tried to grab her towards me total mood killer. I was like what I do lol this explains a lot but still think it’s a deal breaker
ReplyDeleteMy daughter is biracial with the most beautiful spiraled curls. A few weeks back I saw my MIL wear her hair natural for the first time in 14 years and couldn’t stop telling her how stunning it was and how badly I wanted my daughter to be able to see her grandmother look like her. It broke my heart when she told me “nope. I hate wearing it natural. It looks messy.” And the most unfortunate part about it is she thinks that way because society taught her that. In her place of birth little girls are taught to pull their hair back tight so it looks “tamed.”
ReplyDeleteThe way I see it, white women WISH they had the beautiful curls. Myself included. Ladies, rock your natural hair! And know that I’m looking at you in awe π
P.s. I still feel like ppl don't see curlies as beautiful. We are trained to see beauty through ads, marketing, etc. I love my curles. I love them messssssy. I love them super dry and all over the place. If I find it beautiful and sexy, then I literally could care less about "other's" opinions of my hair.
ReplyDeleteLol idc about what white women or men think of what’s natural to BLACK women or men. Mind your business.
ReplyDeleteBut I like fwuffy hair... π
ReplyDeleteWe spend to much time trying to change what we look like because of others. I am a strait haired woman. My sister is a natural curly haired girl. I find it very pretty on a woman with a natural. I think the closer to what we are born with is the prettiest. There was a insurance add that showed a lovely dark woman with a head of beautiful curls and she was stunning. Love your hair the way it is no mater what people say for God gave it to you.
ReplyDeleteI’m white and I’d just like to say I don’t not think this way at all...I love Afros and dreads and kinky hair it’s so cool and different... hurts my soul when people can’t appreciate different genres of beauty.
ReplyDeleteI have naturally curly hair and I remember in elementary school everyone wanted to touch it and I was never bothered by that. I don't understand why it's so offensive now.
ReplyDeleteAww I missed out on a natural hair real talk..Luuuv these talks..Ll pretty much said, basically we were protective stiles to preserve the quality of natural hair..but it’s one thing nobody ever mention in these conversations and that’s tenderheadness..ouch!!!..all the broken combs, never finding right hair products to help manage your hair, it’s a lot to deal with..keeping natural hair is really high maintenance..it’s so much cheaper and quicker and painless to take a hot comb and straighten your hair out or throw that wig piece on..it’s like putting ice on a burn..but it’s great because today natural wigs and extensions are more common so you can fake being natural and all is good.
ReplyDeleteWhy is that shocking? White people are the reason our hair was straightened anyway. Because of the negative view that they placed on it. Our hair is still discriminated on now in the workplace. Smh
ReplyDeleteTamera your son doesn't have curly hair
ReplyDelete"Less sexy, less attractive"? Lmaooooo black women aren't in relationships with white womenππππ πππ€£π
ReplyDeleteIt's men and many of their men are turned on by black hairπ
Society is so messed up..but..its been this way for years...always trying to say we're not good enough the way we were created......i could care less about what someone else has to say about MY fro...i love my fro...gonna keep wearing my fro
ReplyDeleteI love my natural hair.
ReplyDeleteThey just want to tell us what to do. Nope
ReplyDeleteI freaking love when girls play with my hair... I have since grade school. There's some girls at work who keep telling me they want my hair in a lace front (I think that's what you call it). Funny part is that they have beautiful hair too. Wig or no wig. I love seeing women express themselves with wigs one day and natural the next. It's awesome! And they would look great even with no hair. No one is judging here π
ReplyDeleteThat's why I prefer the view. We would have better, intelligent opinions
ReplyDeleteRemy Ma what the fucq you talking about..’let me cover up my hair if it will offend you’..well don’t you cover up your skin for the racist that it offends..didn’t like this statement.
ReplyDeleteI just don't understand why everything has to be about race smh and other bullshit like all this is bullshit to me
ReplyDeleteWhy is Jeannie so fake?
ReplyDeleteWhy are white women having an option about anyone else hair!!! Period
ReplyDeleteWho else found this inspiring?
ReplyDeleteI bet the same people who are having problems with other people's hair and also the same ones that are having a "problem" with other people's skin color. They go hand in hand.
ReplyDeleteYou monsters, that Betta is not happy and doesn't give a damn about your hair lol. I know this is really old but this show having a Betta in a bowl shows people that it's ok to keep them in bowls...sigh
ReplyDeletecall jealousy they wanted to curly hair they want the olive complexion just jealousy
ReplyDeleteWhat that girl in the green said is so stupid and contradictory. She first off says she has 50 wigs and changes it to fit who she is with in case 'they don't like it'.
ReplyDeleteThen she says it's natural and it grows out of your head.
Dumb.
I am not changing my hair for anyone. It's my hair, it grows out of my head and if you don't like it, that's your issues, not mine.
I love my hair, it's amazing and its MINE.
Also Loni, no one is buying the 'protective style because of the lights'. If that's the case, why not wear wigs that look like your own hair at least occasionally, why ALWAYS wear wigs that are straight or wavy? If you love something so much you want to wear it and represent it. It's clear the hair type you love the most based on what texture of hair you choose to wear the most.
I remember many years ago after aging several rounds of interviews for a job, I was asked if I could do something about my hair (it was the kinky 4 c type natural hair of which I am proud) I was so offended. I said no but they hired me anyway.
ReplyDeleteDon't they get a heads up about the topics they're about to talk about before the show they could've at least hear their natural hair just for the segment and maybe I would've taken what they we're saying more seriously.
ReplyDeleteMy only issue is with people who think that women shouldn't wear wigs or weaves because it "fake" hair or false advertising. Like some people don't realize that black natural hair is difficult to take care of and its easier to care for wigs or weaves.
ReplyDeleteThe study said white woman were the worst, no kidding. They’ve always been vile to us.
ReplyDeleteThis is why we need to give a chance to black hairstylists and begin hiring them into the modelling industry.
ReplyDeleteAs every woman on the stage has fake hair. Tamara is getting obnoxious. Shes a stuck up brat in general.
ReplyDelete"This is 'intresting' " Pretty much sums up their analysis
