Any black woman telling you to get a "weave" clearly has some deep rooted hate towards themselves and their natural hair. Girl. Keep doing your thing.

How can hair be too nappy to be natural? Wtf? Did we just get gentrified out of being ‘black’?

"it started on twitter" is something that doesn't surprise me anymore

Mayowa straight up made me go from covering my hair with wigs and turbants because I didn't feel comfortable showing my hair in zoom meetings to wearing my natural hair out without givinga f*ck. She is a gem that need s to be protected❤

Natural hair community be toxic for no reason. Her hair isn’t “curly” enough. Or too “nappy”. But if she got a relaxer??? They would’ve been up in flames!

They like black hair until your hair is too natural for them. Your hair is beautiful and so are you. Keep spreading awareness.

This is why I don't follow natural hair pages. They claim to embrace all hair textures but the majority of hair posted doesn't reflect what I see on a daily, and their communities are so toxic.

Black people have been conditioned for CENTURIES to think that our skin, our hair, our bodies, our features and our overall existence is disgusting and ape-like. We will be met with resistance for embracing ourselves, but we, YOU can’t stop posting & uplifting black people & other people of color. You make people feel comfortable with themselves and not shameful for the way we were born. Thank you & stay up Mayowa☺️👏🏽👸🏽

How do you claim to love “Blackness“ without embracing ALL of it. . All shades, all textures, all cultures... We have a long way to go smh

The internet is so hypocritical, if your a black woman and get relaxer you apparently "don’t love your self", and if you rock your natural hair you look "unkept and dirty" wtf???? They tell people to be confident and rock their natural selves but then drag them when it doesn’t fit there beauty standards

“That’s not 4c hair that’s 4z hair” i literally put my hand over my mouth and cried. I am so sorry. You are beautiful and your hair is beautiful.

I hate that cyber bullying is normalized, accepted, and expected

“She doesn’t have 4c hair, she has locs” literally took me out 😫😫😫😫 babe fuck them. You’re beautiful inside and out from head to toe. You’re genetics are blesseddddd!!! Let the lost stay stranded.

“If your entire page is a ‘natural hair’ page and you put a picture of me with my natural hair and get so much hate, that literally proves that your page isn’t for people who have natural hair. Your page is for people who have acceptable black hair texture that society wants to see.” #micdropmoment 💯

hearing how they called you ugly for "unkept" hair on an UPLIFTING NATURAL HAIR page actually made me lose braincells how can people be so ignorant and toxic. I am so sorry you had to go through that, you do NOT deserve that. You are so beautiful, ALL of you!!

I am 57 years old and this is not new. I am so sick of this ignorant bullshit black folks do to other black folks. I am sorry this happened to you but your video shows your strength and intelligence and your will to bounce back and defend yourself and all of us who have happy hair. Your voice is a power keg! Important.

The fact that the page says BLM too... like you can’t only care about the light skin black lives or the black lives with laid edges and clean cut locs... 🤦🏽‍♀️

Their page is gone. Thank goodness. Natural hair shouldn’t be controversial. All these people run around talking about how “God is good all the time” and “God is greater” and “God don’t make mistakes” -- except for natural hair?! WTF. To hell with all of them.

Not sure why your video was suggested to me being I'm an old bald white guy, but I think your hair is beautiful. Don't let them idiots upset you.

It's honestly disgusting how quick people are to attack women for being their authentic selves. Colourism is incredibly destructive. It's beautiful to see you call out and educate people on social issues.

The self-hate in the black community is so real!!!!

The black community understands representation until it's about black women's concerns and issues. Then you're fair game.

Idc "thoughts" is a micro aggression. Ppl that do that know exactly wtf they're doing.

Chyle the melanin is too intimidating to them. You're beautiful be proud of who you are. People will not always accept you or your style, but it's your own. Peace and light

“She doesn’t have 4c hair; she has locs” 😭😭😭 THE FACE you made after telling us about that comment. I’m DEAD over here. HOW DO YOU THINK I GOT THE LOCS??? ⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️

A whole lot of folk like natural hair ONLY if it’s soft and curly....NO LIE!!!

i cannot IMAGINE waking up to my own selfie being posted online with the caption "thoughts?" in any context ahhhh that is nightmare fuel. there is no reason they shouldve ever done that.

That's absolutely disgusting. Your hair is gorgeous, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Also: I love the shells, that is such a cute look, it gives me sea godess vibes :)

Question...why can't my 4c hair be dry or unkempt? Must I be slayed to the gods every second of my life? For who? for what? why?

I can’t stand the natural hair community now. It was started by mostly 4c woman years before Twitter and Instagram. Mainstream took over and RUINED it 😡. Sorry this happened to you

They love their palatable 'natural' hair but the moment it gets too real they show their true colors you are literally so beautiful your energy is so warming, I recently began my loc journey and its truely teaching me to let go off colorist/texturist beauty standards, (I have 4b/4c hair)

I’m obsessed with your authenticity! Don’t ever change , it’s inspiring

It’s crazy that people can’t just let black girls like you be pretty, smart, and unbothered. Like leave black women alone.

the misogynoir we have to face as black women is actually exhausting wow.

The type of people who drag you are the ones who are the most insecure in their own skin. They can't feel good about themselves and so they attack others and try to transfer their own insecurities to others. You're beautiful inside and *OUT* !! God Bless you!

hey im a hispanic girl and i will never be able to know how hurtful this was for you, but my heart hurts with yours. i really don't understand cause your hair is voluminous and beautiful and i love the little seashells (sorry if there's a name and i don't know)

i hâte those sneak dissing pages the shade borough for example.. they say “thoughts? 👀” knowing damn well what they’re doing. i don’t understand how grown ass people can be so bitter for what?

One of my subbies just shared this video with me, the fact that you have to endure such ignorance is unacceptable. 4C hair is THE most versatile hair pattern, and I’m so over people’s close-minded narratives they try to push on everyone, shouting their prejudices from the rooftops like it’s acceptable. Your hair, skin, features are all gorgeous. Thank you for sharing your experience 💚

And Mayowa is such a sweet soul. She didn’t deserve this.

The natural hair community for some reason doesn’t consider locs as a natural hair . It’s so strange

I’m really happy that beautiful people like you exist. You are the type of person that I can listen to for hours. I’m so sorry that you have to endure such disgusting humans!!

I’m so sorry you have to endure this, you and your hair are beautiful. Sending all the love 💙

This is so sad that we are still attacking our own. We are passing down the hate toward dark skin sisters and brothers that was taught to us during slavery. We still have a long way to go. 😢

I just came across this video today, and it’s literally the Willie Lynch syndrome in the natural hair community. Especially when it comes to locs. Nowadays you don’t even know whose locs are real because they combine it with natural locs. It’s crazy. I think your hair is dope af.

I’ve noticed this too and it’s usually always other black people.

Reason why i unfollowed all these so called natural hair pages that only post a specific hair type with a specific shade. Sorry you went through that the hate for DSBW is real but you know what we're still Winning.

I’m a Slavic white woman and I adore your hair. I adore my own. I adore everyone’s. And everyone’s complexion. No matter deep or how pale, everyone is stunning and nobody truly is better than another. And the first time I saw you come up in my YT recommended I watched your video and I thought you were absolutely gorgeous. Not because you are black, and you’re not less beautiful because you’re black or dark skinned either. You’re just a beautiful person period. And I love your hair and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with it. Its perfect the way it is. Just like mine. And the next persons. And I support you 100%. And I’m sorry they did that to you. That is not right nor fair to you and you don’t deserve any of it. I am sure it’s extremely overwhelming. But you’ve got this. We are all here to support you.

I'm just a white lady who doesn't know anything about black hair, but you're really lovely and your hair looks great and F anyone who tells you different!

The self hatred and anti-Blackness within our own race is disgusting and toxic. I'm sorry you went through that. ❤

"She doesn't have 4C hair, she has locs" 😂🤣😭🤣😂🤣 Stupid just entered the room

I was in my teen years when I first got exposed to the natural hair community. To this day, I still struggle with loving and appreciating my 4c hair. It's so toxic there

I love the way you express yourself, you’re very articulate. It breaks my heart that you had to experience this. Literally within the first seconds of watching your video I thought “wow your hair looks beautiful!” Even having the shells(?) on your ends shows that you are creative and authentic! I need to find some time to watch your other content because I’m thirsty to learn more about my own culture. I hope you were able to find some peace from sharing this publicly and knowing that you have people who support you and appreciate you just the way you are ❤️❤️

How you are treated by other Black people is unacceptable and harmful. The self hate and anti-dark skin within the global Black community needs healing. Your 4c locs * IS* Black natural hair. 🖤

When you call every tan person under the sun 'black' and every hair texture that's not bone straight 'natural', you get ppl who forget what the average West African's hair looks like

You called the hypocrisy to the bone, Mayowa. Thanks so much for your channel and your self love!!

Sister we are traumatized people. Remember we are traumatized people.

I always say, "the rot is from within". Black folks need a lot of de programming. You are beautiful.

"that shit made me cry" :( I hate that so much. The cyberbullying that social media has made possible is awful.

The natural hair community is so horrible , I learned the hard way, 4A/3B hair is praised . I’m sorry you had to go through this

Thanks so much for sharing this. You really opened my eyes to how dark-skinned women with kinky hair are written out of blackness. And yet our focus is only on light-skinned people and white passing people who are written out of Blackness.

They dragged you because you read them for filth. By dragging you, they exposed their own internal hatred for real 4c hair, and projected that on to you. I have 4c hair like yours and one Natural hair influencer in these social media streets with the "wavy 4c hair" told me that my hair isn't 4c, it is dry after I enquired about her "wavy 4c hair." I was appalled because if it was, it would break and lack lustre, but it doesn't. She went on how 4c hair is different, there is porosity and yada yada. The porosity has nothing to do with the texture which is what the argument was about. You did a slide where you called light skinned women who write in colorism. I feel that these 3c -4a influencers are doing the same thing when it comes to natural hair. A South African hair influencer who has been in the natural hair game for a long time also called them out on how they still cater to the Eurocentric gaze because they hardly sell the kink and coil. I mean, it's amazing that you can silk press your natural hair and create waves or any other manipulation, but the truth is in the long-term, it does damage your hair and thins it. She posted herself wearing an elegant gown with her kinky afro and wrote on why she believes kink can be elegant and how natural hair influencers lie about the time and methods it took to grow their hair. She was right because how can you grow 4c hair to back length in 18 months without protective styles and your hair was not even reaching your neck? This is why I started freeforming. With freeforming, there are no rushed expectations, there is no manual for rapid hair growth, but you know your hair is growing. I stopped chasing the huge afro look because watching these people made me feel more insecure than I thought and self-conscious. You are so beautiful and smart and I'm happy with your content. Keep calling out for their filth. They are so stuuuuuupiiiiid!!

The “natural hair community” has become a platform people use to show black people how to make their hair more palatable for white society.

I know this post is 2 years old... but I'm commenting because I have the SAME texture as yours... and I am SO PROUD to see how strong and resilient you've been the years after video. Keep going!!

This literally brought me to tears. You are a beautiful woman! Like genuinely gorgeous!! Stunning features and awesome natural hair! I learned a lot from this video and subscribed to learn more. Your message is beautiful just like you! ❤️

"She doesn't have 4C hair, she has locs..." 🤣🤣People are insane!

I was mistaken for being homeless when I had my locs... stay strong... You're beautiful Sis!!

Basically, the “natural hair community” is still based on European beauty standards and expectations. For example, most Black folks hair grows up and outwards. Most White folks (and other people with similar hair types) grows downwards. We still base growth, styling, and length on European hair types.

As a black woman I gotta say I'm not surprised Though I did not relax my hair I gotta tell u that the natural hair movement is tOXIC

People who put"thoughts?" On Their post literally intends to start drama ALWAYS

The black community is so exhausting and embarrassing sometimes. You don’t see other communities putting down there women and hair.

Your hair is healthy and that's beautiful for me. Teaching my 6 year old niece to love her hair because my natural hair is 4b and her's is 4c. My sister has sister locs so we're all different.

I'm white. I have no idea how I got there. But this was very educational. Thank you

Your hair is very normal in South Africa, it’s clearly 4C and I have the same hair texture. You’re beautiful and so is your hair I’m so excited I found your channel 🥰

It sucks because 4c hair is rarely included in the “celebration” of natural hair. I always feel good when people compliment my hair because that’s a rarity. They say “nappy” like it’s a bad thing. I love my hair tho. I’m so sorry you had to go through this. Then again, f*ck them.

You make me feel so happy. You are my favorite creator on KZfaq. I appreciate you. I watch your videos on repeat and on break to help me feel safe in my mind. You have helped me soo much.

Thanks, for your amazing example of strength and courage. You show a unique beauty that inspires me to embrace my own. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

"If your page is a natural hair page & you put a picture of me, with my hair & it gets so much hate -that literally proves that your page isn't for people who have natural hair. Your page is for people who have acceptable black hair textures that society wants to see." This is SO real, thank you for calling it out. The natural hair 'community' is so damn toxic. You know this already but you are beautiful, your hair is beautiful, KEEP ON SHINING. ❤️

White people can have a cute messy hair bun but we have to have our buns slicked and laid 24/7? Who made this damn rule 🤨

Wow! Just seeing this 2 years after you uploaded this video and I empathize with what you experienced. I am thankful for your page and the courage you have to share and continue to share and stand up for many of the vulnerable.

Awww gawd young Queen, you & your locs are beautiful. You look absolutely regal to me.💯 Much love.🥰

People on twitter are MISERABLE. Please don't feed into that because theres no right answer for shxt on that bird ass app... Don't cry, you're so beautiful, don't let ANY of that get to you.

This why I don’t even bother with the community anymore. People with loose curls get to claim 4c but they have a problem with the real thing. You and your hair are beautiful.

I’m so happy I stumbled upon this video. I cried listening to your story. Thank you for sharing. ❤️

Omg!!! I’m so sorry that happened to you. You are speaking straight up facts! I always said if you have like REAL 4c hair you getting picked last. There’s level to this. Wavy or curly hair is always gonna take first priority. In order for 4c hair to get some shine it has to be waist length and blown out. Definitely can’t be short. When I first big chopped my hair my whole family called me black Annie. You are beautiful! I love your channel, I’m always sending your videos to my friends and family ❤️

But the natural hair community will be up and arms and will say "self hate" to black women who relaxed their hair. Oh, the hypocrisy.🤣

I'm NIGERIAN too!! Hey my nigerian sista LOL. I LOVE YOUR HAIR

I love your boldness. You are amazing. Thank you for your authenticity.

Nothing but the truth gladly subscribing. I remember following that page a while ago I went to see if the page is still there I believe the account is deleted and I’m glad it is . You are very beautiful and intelligent 👸🏾👸🏾

Sheer ignorance. Crabs in a barrel. We are our own worst enemy sometimes. You’re beautiful.

When y'all find out there are not enough letters to code our hair, we be free of this BS

This is so upsetting to hear and I’m so sorry for what these guys put you through. I think you’re so brave. Keep going! 👏🏽👏🏽

I’m so sorry this happened. Your hair is beautiful. YOU are beautiful! Love you❤️

The other day another black woman called me “sis” and it actually made me cry because I’ve been sooo shunned for not being the “right kind” of black girl , that to be accepted by someone was so shocking and meaningful to me . Idk, I just randomly wanted to share that to say - Please be kind to each other 💕

Her client's 4C hair is BLONDE and probably STRAIGHTENED REGULARLY, which loosens the curl pattern. That stylist conveniently neglected to consider that though.

I'm glad I found your page and keep being your beautiful intellectual self!

I loveeeee love love LOVE when people incorporate beads or shells into their hair 🥺✨ so stunningggg

The way they asked for “thoughts” like it’s up for debate what kind of hair you have.... like it’s other people’s job to validate YOUR hair 😒 they fully set you up sis call them out

Natural community: Love your natural hair ✊🤩 Actual natural hair: Natural Community: No, not like that!🤨😒

I just want to say that your hair is absolutely gorgeous! I love how you’ve incorporated shells into your look and honestly I’m absolutely speechless!

You always speak so much truth love your content ❤
