Black textured hair is sooo beautiful, I love seeing more and more black women embracing their natural curls.

We are still so unfair to people with textured hair, America needs more visibility and education on these issues. We also need to STOP with the narrative that textured hair is unprofessional. Thank you for this video

I stopped using relaxers on my “course” hair back in 1996. My hair naturally locked into the common term, dreadlocks. Yet, in this natural state, I have more Black people (or people of color) telling me how “nice” my hair looks, in secret, whilst publicly telling me how bad my hair looks. Why? Because it is natural and not fake threads woven into my hair like the socially constructed “nice” way of wearing or styling “course” hair. So, I am used to the “your hair needs to be done” comments my fellow course hair community insists on telling me, but I welcome their secretive comments about how nice my hair is. The only thing that saddens me is when course hair people tell me, “I wish my hair could look like that.” Why can’t it? Because course hair folks are subjected to the lasting biases that convince them that their natural hair is NOT acceptable nor “nice” in the course hair community, especially.😢

First girl needs to learn how to brush/comb her hair properly

@melyndaduh3501 Ай бұрын

Definitely. Only comb hair when wet. Use a wide wide tooth comb. Brush is not necessary. Etc. if you are getting a bunch of hair combed out you are doing something wrong.
