"You don't like it and that's good. That's why you don't have it." Best comeback!

Because nobody has pelo malo.

Everyone's hair Is so nice, I can't believe that people randomly will touch other people's hair and say mean things about it... every in this videos hair looks amazing

"Mi pelo no es malo porque nunca le ha hecho nada a nadie". That's it. HE WON THE INTERNET. Everybody out.

Whats wrong with embracing your blackness and being "more black". I take it as a compliment especially since Latinos that deny there blackness look crazy i am proud to be black. And i hope more Afro Latinos embrace that important and crucial side.

"mi pelo no es malo porque nunca le ha hecho nada a nadie" Que cute bro!

*cries tears of joy in Afro Latino* ✊🏽🇨🇺🇧🇷 Saludes a ser un Afro Latino

"Pelo malo and I said mi pelo no es malo porque no le ha hecho nado a nadie" I love this

This is so relatable. I am the product of two black Panamanian parents who has locs, which apparently are a magnet for grubby, unsolicited hands. LOL. Or, alternately, they stand for a forfeiture of your "latina card" according to onlookers. A few years ago, my mother and I were the sole customers in a store and began speaking Spanish to each other. Not surprisingly, the clerk began craning his neck to see who else was in the store and upon actually witnessing that the conversation was ours, inquired, "How did you learn that?". My mother replied, "We're from Latin America, so Spanish is my first language.", to which the man said (drumroll), "No, no. Latinas are pretty with nice hair." My mom flipped her long locs to the back, turned to me and said "Yes, we are!"

natural hair is the best hair

Sooo jealous of the guy with the long hair.

Finally a video about my struggle lol

I wish more people knew about the African ancestry of the Spanish speaking countries. I'm just now doing research and it all makes sense now, as to why I notice so many black features in the "Spanish" (you ain't from Spain) people I grew up around. It sucks that on this planet people put dark skin as the lowest form of beauty and hold whiter skin complexions as the greatest thing the eyes can see.

14 years.... 14 years listening to every shitty joke about curly hair.. 14 years being proud of being myself....

The guy in the red shirt has BEAUTIFUL hair. I wish I could touch it.

Thank you! A girl I know said I can't be (Afro) Latina because I have "nappy hair". She said all latinas have long, soft, curly hair. I cut my hair to go natural and my hair is longer and curlier than her's (4a/4b/4c). She also said Cubans aren't Spanish. Of course they're not Spanish... We're Hispanic/Latino. She's not even Latina or Hispanic, she needs to do her research. Muchas gracias!

This video is my life story, I'm not afro-latina I'm just black the stares and the question I receive about my natural hair is insane. I remember being in the store with my mom me day and this lady walks up and she's like the political statements you're making with your hair is amazing and I fully support it.I just looked at her and was like what fucking political statement are you taking about and she was like you know Angela Davis.I was like since when did the hair that grew out off my hair become party of political agenda.

need more afro Latinos videos on tbe channel

this is important to me!!! like I grew up in the Dominican Republic and for 18 years my dad would force me to get a buzz cut because "eso cabello malo no se ven bien largo" when I got to the US and I got a taste of what FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION feels like (believe me you dont have as bad as in DR) I decided to let my hair be. My mom woul get out of her way EVERY DAYA to let me know that "el afro ese te hace ver como un loco; parecen que estas enfermo; tu no pareces que vas a la universidad; ese corte no va con tu personalidad; que clase de doctor tu vas a hacer con ese afro (I'm in pre-med); pareces un delincuente". when I went to visit my dad back in DR he had the same reaction just A LOT more aggresive and confrontational, to the point he told me that he didnt want to be seen with me and my afro because he was "embarrased". it got so bad that I had to go stay at my aunts house cuz he wouldnt leave alone. and its just so fucking heart breaking to have the people you love the most put you down like that because of THE FUCKING GENES THEY PASSED DOWN TO YOU!! like I didnt ask for my hair to grow out in an amaizing afro, i got lucky!!! like can you let me love the body God (and you) gave me, just the way it is?? can you not decide my character based on the dead cells that grow out my scalp?? thank you

I got lucky and grew up with my Latina mother who taught me not to judge anyone because my family is Latino and is every color size and shape and I loved my cousins curly hair and I grew up loving natural hair that it was a shock as I grew up to find out having natural textured/curly hair was a negative. I looked at my stick straight hair and always envied natural hair and always wanted it and I look at this video and admire them and I am heart eyes over every ones hair 😍 keep on being beautiful and keep putting down that Latino saying of pelo malo

proud negrita rocking my afro

Hooray for natural hair! As a kid everyone told me I had “Pelo Malo” and that led to me damaging it with a flar iron for years but now i've been letting it transition back to curly :)

This is wonderful. Thank you @Flama for bringing together these honest voices. Latinos are embracing their natural hair more, and its a beautiful thing.

I am very torn about the term "afro-latino". I use it always in American context just because I think Americans can't understand my existence without it. But I hate American understanding of ancestry and race. It's so divided. In Puerto Rico our ancestors are Spanish Tainos and African. It doesn't matter what you look like or what your specific racial makeup is. You can be blonde with green eyes and freckles and have

Have the same hair as the first dude. Wouldn't change it for the world

Thank u Lord for this video. This is a struggle. I'm Latino, (Colombian Venezuelan), but I have strong African roots due to my Venezuelan family comes from a palenque (an African town created by slaves who escaped from slavery back in the colonial ages). I got an afro and it is a gift to me. I took me several years to realize how amazing it is. The problem is that a lot of people think it is not good hair or that I should keep it really short. I hear all kind of jokes and sometimes people is offensive. I wish everyone could understand there's nothing wrong with the hair God gave me. It is my hair and I would keep it the way I like, the way it is.

I have thick curly hair. I'm 🇵🇷🇯🇲 and my hair is mostly towards my dad, who has kinky hair and an afro as well. I've been told to straighten it but then I started to see people embrace their hair and I did the same. I've been natural for 4 years already and I love my hair.

this is pretty accurate. Brazilian here

This video is a work of art. It makes me feel so much better about my hair, I'm not afro-latino but I was the only one at my school with curly hair and people used to say I have clown hair, an afro, a jewfro, etc. and it really sucked.

When I tell people I’m Afro-Latino they always look straight to my hair and don’t believe me all because I have 4c hair 😕 I think they don’t believe me because there’s another girl that’s afro-Latino and she has looser hair and I be like smh 🤦🏾‍♀️

" you don’t like it & that’s good Bc you don’t have it “ savage 🔥

Afro mexican HERE🤗🤗🤗

Tf is the difference between an Afro Latino and a Latino?? I'm 100% Mexican Latina and still have significant African ancestry. We all have it and a lot of us have hair like this, it's pretty common especially for Dominicans. 😒 This is ridiculous.

I've struggled with my hair all my life. It wasn't until 2 years ago I decided to go natural. No more relaxers. 😮 I am now proud of my Afro Latina heritage and my big natural curly hair. I can definetly relate to "Pelo Malo" lol

i dislike when people touch my hair without my permission

What about the black people that touch your hair and ask if its real? 😂

Once in 7th grade 3 guys grabbed my hair to see if it was fake. People think I curl my hair everyday because my kind of curls are fake, nah they real. It's insane how people just go up to me and grab my hair and ask if it's a weave. But I love being afro Latino and wouldn't change that for anything.

as a puerto rican woman my hair is naturally super curly and yes i wanna keep it natural but its a lot to take care of like knots and it make dreads on its own and its straight and curly in random sections so i get my hair done and i like it, its just something thats hard to handle

I love my hair 😊

I teach a course called Hair: Culture, Politics and Technology and this video is so relevant to our class discussions. Thank you.

They all have beautiful hair, I always feel proud to see Afro Latinos with their natural hair.

“I am more black than I am Latino because it’s natural” MY GOD I get that a lot. I think my hair is closest to the guy with long hair. And I love his philosophy on it.

Omg I hate when Dominicans say pelo malo like bye

This is dope! I'm not Latino (I'm Haitian), and always was confused by the dissension Latin folks have with each other and the color of their skin/hair texture. This was awesome to watch.

People are absolutely ridiculous. My hair is natural and idgaf. What I notice is "bad hair" relates to a really curly kinky texture, is really dry, and short. I am not afro latina. I'm black. And because my hair is to the middle of my back and stretched, I get a lot of questions about how my hair is long or... I get questions about if I'm mixed... I also get told that I have "good hair"... But again, if my same type 4 hair was short, shrunken, and dry, everyone would say that my hair is "bad". smh.

I am a Afro latina and I love my natural hair

LOVE this message .. So needed.

Wow, finally a video about how my struggle with that whole " good hair vs bad hair" ! I stopped relaxing my hair four years ago and am sooooo happy with it now. Cuz it's my hair and it's the way it was intended for me. I do it straight sometimes to change up my look. I am Dominican and my stylist is awesome! I do it curly and I feel free, happy and so amazing. People that hadn't seen it straight told me they didn't recognize me! lol!! But what I love the most is that it is healthy and all me. Thank you for this video!

I fucking love Afro Latinos.. I need me an Afro Latino man ❤️️❤️️

"keep it neat", that took me back to being menino. That was a hard time in life. Thank you for this video​.

I'm a year late but all your hair is beautiful!!! 💖💕 We all secretly want more volume, but most people don't understand the struggles with curly hair lol.

I think that this is wonderful to hear about Afro-Latinos talking about their natural hair and their experiences within the Latino community when it comes to hair.

1:46 Yeess!! "You don't like it. Good, that's why YOU don't have it" Best clap back!!

Yo finally I found hispanics like me with puffy hair, I thought I was the only one

Yo this episode is literally the story of my life, every one that has straight hair has talked down on my hair but people who have the same or nappier hair love it, no one understands what it's like to have crazy curly hair and to make it look as amazing it does is a true test of love tengo Pelon Bueno y no me importa lo que piensen los demas #AfroLatinoAndUnbothered

Beautiful hair!!! I don't have a lot of hair and its thin so people always say that it looks like a cow just licked my head so for the longest time I wanted curly hair and would wake up at 5 just to curl it since thin hair seems to not be good enough. Now that im older I've learned to love my easily tangled hair and I wouldn't change it for the world.

I swear people at my school ask if its my "real hair" and people always touch it.

0:43 GUURRLL that foundation aint the one!!!

I’m a descendent of a black person and my hair is wavy because of it I love it

Dear Lee...NO ONE DOESN'T LIKE YOUR HAIR! IT IS AMAZING!

"good hair" is healthy hair, no matter the skin tone

Everyone had curls that people pay to get. I especially liked the one girl with the tighter curled long hair. So jealous! It looked so well defined, my hair is a poofy mess.

My hair is curly and I embrace it and I'm glad to have it because it can be work sometimes and that's what makes you love it even more when it behaves. It sucks that people are telling us about our hair being pelo Malo but at the end of the day the hair is on our heads so who cares what they think! 😊

Hispanic people in general are the best thing ever

Afro textured hair is so versatile and beautiful.

Donde está mi squad Puerto Riqueño🇵🇷

The guy with the red hoodie has such pretty voluminous hair and his man Bun is perfect 😍😍

This video was so relatable. Thanks for sharing

"In the middle we have fiddler on the roof" girllllll😂💗

God bless mah Afro Latinos and Afro Latinas, dont let nobody tell you, that you aint latino enough.

Need more than a blackout Tuesday. Need a Black Hair out Tuesday. Just afros, tight curls, loose curls popping everywhere. Lol 💪💪🏾

The difference between African vs Latino is Nappy vs curly hair. Real Carribeans have Latino heritage

sometimes I love my hair other times I wish it was type three #blackgirlproblems

im Hispanic and black i can relate to you guys

That was legit the worst sheep impresion ever...

'You don't like it, that's good. Because that's why you don't have it' Love this!! I love my natural hair :)

I just came here to say how crazy this title is!! How do Latinas deal with their God given, natural hair that grows from their roots?!! I CANNOT.

My Honduran pelo Malo is hard to manage but it's me! When I grow it long my Dominican barber says that it makes me look like a crazy Loco person! What a unique way to go through life!

I’m Afro-Latino, and 100 % I love my hair and just shout at people when they complain about my hair nowadays 😂😂😂

"Mi pelo no es malo porque nunca no le hecho nada a nadie." ❤️❤️✊🏽💯💯

y'all should do "sweet sixteen v.s quincianera" 😂

There's a lot of confusion in the comment section. That's probably because of this video features people with curly and afro-textured hair.

All hair is beautiful as long as it is clean and healthy

I’m latino with Afro type hair. Idk why I just know my mom also has curly hair and well I’m not dark skinned at all. Idk if maybe had an african ancestor idk. It’s really weird tbh cause I would get teased for having very curly hair and being Mexican

BRUH when she said the back was her puerto rican section was so real because im half black half boricua and its like the bottom is the more manageable "spanish hair" and the rest is kinky curly

when people ask to touch my hair I always get nervous and say yes :( but deep down im just like...please...noooo (but most of the time they touch before even asking lol) -anyways A+ video for also addressing the part where our own families and communities hate on the hair...

I have people touching my hair .making comments about how soft and curly. embrace your hair texture❤️

Every time I would have my hair natural my grandma would say to me. Nena pq no te peinas esa maranta (why don't you brush your nappy hair). Growing up around comments like that always made me feel insecure about my natural (curly) hair and I would try to straighten my hair so that I would t have to hear comments like that, but now I don't care what anyone says I love my hair.

Nice. I'm White-Latino but my cousins are Afro-Latino so I was so jealous of their hair as a kid because I wanted to be like my older cousins. (although people assume Latina hair is perfect- HA! my curly wavy hair never wants to stay in place)

I got real thick ass curly hair but none of my family looks or has black in us, people always ask me if I'm from PR or DR and I'm just like nope

Lee with his hair down is amazing

I'm not an Afro-Latino, but I have curly hair. Super curly/frizzy hair, actually. A lot of people think I'm mixed, black American parent, and a white American parent. But, nah! I have a black/indigenous Mexican-dad, and a mestizo-Colombian mom. And, my dad has straight hair. I get my curly hair from my white side, which is my moms. Pretty ironic.

I just want to say I’m in love with this channel ❤️❤️

the same way any person with curly natural hair deals with theirs!

I'm lightskin afro-brazilian I have afro textured hair and I hate it when people ask if it's real or natural

Lee chin has the most beautiful hair. I love it.

I had long hair when young. My Dad said I couldn't hear him since my ears were covered. I recommend keeping it trimmed for guys. I almost yanked out half my head when I rolled up the car window. I moved to shift gears not realizing my hair was caught in the rolled up window. A lot of pain.

That guy in the red needs OGX COCONUT CURLS STYLING MILK and HAIR BUTTER! I have the same hair texture, you will thank me later!

I have Natural Curly Hair. I hate when people come and touch it without permission 😒😒.. i love my hair so such

Im African American and Puerto Rican. I got the Latino gene for hair lol but I still get the same dumb questions. I hate when people tell me "you're hair is too big" "Why is your hair like that" And my favorite..."how do you get your hair like that" I WAS BORN!!! THATS HOW!!!! And the touching of the hair is all good as long as you ask me! I am not a walking petting zoo!!!
