I feel like I've gone full circle. I'm a 62 year old woman who rocked a big Angela Davis afro in the 70s only to relax in the 80s Went natural in 2014...loving it. No more creamy crack for this fly junior senior.

Girlfriend, I had a similar pattern. I went natural in 1968 after seeing the Ebony Magazine cover that featured models wearing the "au naturale" look. I went to the barber shop and got it cut. I'm the only girl in my high school yearbook with a natural style. I got a Jerri Curl in the 80s, relaxed during the 90s and now I'm back to natural. Black women have the most versatile hair in the world. As I go into my "golden" years, I'd like to do locs, because they are beautiful and easy to care for.

Don't ever put extensions or relaxers on your child's head. Teach them how to style their hair natural so they can see how beautiful their own hair can be and they can build confidence. Don't feed into the agenda that black hair needs to be "treated" or "changed" somehow. God doesn't make mistakes. Natural hair is beautiful ❣🥰

The first young lady hit the nail on the head with, never "relaxed" because I was always on edge. How powerful is that statement? Perm was never for our comfort. It was always and remains for their comforts. What's extremely sad is how disconnected we're from our hair as though it's something separate and alien, rather than an integral part of who we are.

Wow I wish I loved my hair. I'm not the typical black women I never liked getting my hair braided or anything. I wanted to cut my hair off at age 17. I finally cut it at 19(20). I wish I had hair with big soft curls because it's soft and shiny/tame. I'm sorry but theirs nothing shiny and pretty about coily hair. I dislike putting creams and jells in my hair.

Thanks so much for the time and effort to share the honesty of being a naturalista in this day and age. I wore an afro for my prom and sr pix in 1977. Then converted to “creamy crack”. I have so many horror stories, but 40 years later, I’m back. I’m back and to be honest, I’m still searching to know who I am. I do know who I’m not and I believe that’s all that matters. Thanks, again.

I have been natural for about 4 years now and I am biracial (african american & caucasian) mom is caucasian and dad is african American. I dont have that typical " mixed people hair" as alot of people call it. My mother loves, loves, loves my natural hair. I normally rock a curly afro, it comes to about shoulder length. My dad more so will be like girl what's wrong with yo head. He is so use to seeing me with relaxed hair growing up my whole life. I love my natural hair so much!!! Now my 15 year old daughter rocks her natural afro and she loves it. I gave her the confidence while most girls in high school are wearing their hair straight. I love it! 🥰

It’s sad that the mother coerced her daughter into getting a perm. I wanted to relax my hair when I was in high school and my mother was NOT having it. I persisted and she finally allowed me to do it and I was living hunny! What I didn’t know at the time that my mother knew and I now know is that it was going to break all my hair off. When it did exactly that, my mother said, “you see what a relaxer does”? she then proceeded to cut the relaxed ends off and braided my hair...I’ve NEVER relaxed my hair again and now I am loc’d 😩😂😂

When I watched this my first thought was: Relaxers should be forbidden, taken off the market - completely. I feel we are hurting our bodies and our spirit with it. I am all for everyone having the freedom to make their own decisions, but when I apply relaxer to my hair am I not saying to myself and too the world, “the way I really am isn’t good enough? “ I regret every relaxing and hope I will continue accepting my true self, my ethnicity by keeping on rocking my true natural beautiful hair❤️

TBH I do it too! I also remember my mindset when I was relaxing my hair, etc, I've grown into my naturalness and see a massive difference in myself. Good documentary.

I remember when I cut my hair. I had no idea what I was doing as far as going natural - didn't even know I was transitioning. I went about a year with no relaxer. I started straightening my hair again, not knowing what it would do to my hair. I had heard about going natural and transitioning by then and I said I was, but it wasn't intentional and I was just going with the flow. When I started straightening my hair, I learned more about being natural and wanted to try it for real, but my hair wouldn't curl up the way it had before.......I kept talking about cutting it, but nobody believed me - I didn't even believe me. One day though, I didn't have class.......I saw a salon, went in, her client was a no show, so she was able to see me. I texted my roommates, they came by and I did it. It was such a big moment! I got ALL the damaged hair cut off. And I loved it! I was natural and went 3 years with no heat on it (except 1 time the 3rd year)......then 2 days into year 4.....I loc'd it up :D I will be 1 yr loc'd on Aprili 28, 2019! Who knew how freeing letting your hair be what it was naturally meant to be would turn out to feel! :)

I LOVE BEING NATURAL SINCE 2003. And I did not know what I was doing, I just hated getting perms and the way I felt and wasting money on something that made feel sad, frustrated and unnatural. And yes I got the negative comments and weird looks but God must have been protecting my self esteem because I kept trudging on. I work in corporate America and seriously y’all don’t care what they think or say... it crosses my mind especially the looks I get from our lovely black folks, but doing my job well and being happy inside is more important to me. We as a people have to start within ourselves and LOVE who we are... our elders are a product of their generation so their mindset is true to them. But no one said that has to be generational - we are lovable and that has to start within. Love thyself. I was talking to a friend how we both are comfortable with our natural hair. And we accept that not all of the ways to maintain it is the same and so different for each of us... that is probably blowing up the product industry. Because ALL that WE NEED CAN BE FOUND IN OUR GARDENS OR KITCHEN... THANK You Lord!! Love this documentary. And thank you LORD for this awakening in our minds hearts and spirits. Its that serious.

I Love this powerful message of Black Girl Magic. I wish all Black Men would take note. It is going to take many years, if not decades, to change how we perceive ourselves. Not only in the US but worldwide. Until we (the world) stops seeing everything that is BLACK as bad, very little will change. Our words are very powerful, not only consciously but subconsciously. As a Black Woman, I feel very low on the totem pole, wars take our men, men going outside of their race, Black Men incarceration. It doesn't leave much of a selection to pick from. However, the journey continues; loving myself, my natural hair and my shapely butt is what I can do today to fight the powers that be.

I’ve been natural for 10 yrs did the big chop 2 x because of breakage and not loving it . I’ve always wore a wig to cover it up, until 1 yr ago, I went from twist to wearing my lady puff , as I call it , lol. I so in love with my hair like never before. Now I’m working on my edges they are thin from the content wearing of the wigs....I am rocking my lady puffs this summer for the first time and I am loving it. ..btw natural hair make me look younger.😘

I didn't realize how awesome it feels to embrace our natural hair. I have more fun now compared to relaxed hair. Now I can rain bath, not worry about getting it wet when it rains, wash more, color and the confidence is so powerful.

I think this was a great documentary about our natural hair and I wish that I could have been a part of it. I am too natural for several years now and I wouldn't revert back to a relaxer. I don't wear my natural hair but I do wear wigs and crochet braids. I love and video and it inspired me even more to wear my natural hair. Thank you for all the positivity that coming from my strong Black sister.

the women in this film are stunning. their natural hair is so beautiful. My grandmother was a hairdresser, she laughed at her clientele getting perms to make their hair curly. She always maintained no one should mess with their natural hair. (I am white). My hair was curly when I was a baby and still has a kink as my grandmother called it. I think curly hair is so beautiful. Natural is beautiful. This goes for white women dying their hair an unnatural colour also!

So glad to see this changing. I remember the struggles our BLACK church had accepting black hair in it's natural form. They actually called it a fad, or wordly to not straighten your hair. They were so influenced by European societal norms. I love my natural hair and went natural 15 years ago, despite my former church's directives. Maybe this acceptance will help us increase our Self Love. An older generation does not understand this. Love this sisters, let's keep going...not only our black women, but our boys and girls are made to feel less than in school. And unfortunately some of these religious schools are insane about it.
