It seems like when you have a substantial amount of people in our community who have not had to properly take care of their natural hair and are ignorant about our own hair for generations upon generations only to then come across those of us that are educated on our hair and have always been natural or who have transitioned to our natural hair and have some length, it actually makes them dumbfounded. I know that I permanently ruined my edges because I wore sewn in weaves in my early twenties and my hair edges never fully recovered, point is, so many of our sisters have lost their hair that they have to wear weaves and braids and then you walk into the room with hair to your bottom or past your bra strap and they refuse to believe it is possible. Yes, it's almost like our people are living in this archaic age. Some of our sisters don't even remember what their own natural hair looks like. Also I think it puts them in their feelings because once they realize how beautiful natural hair is and that we have been running away from our natural beauty and that we look like goddesses with this luxurious hair that no one can truly mirror because our hair was meant only for us...it takes them to a place of wow, we were taught that stringy flat long hair was the standard of beauty, maybe they were jealous.

I was at Wal-Mart earlier this week an Asian woman asked me if my natural textured was real. Mind you my hair is 4b/4c. I wore it in a Afro on that day. I was so beyonddddd shocked😮😮

I am so over explains us (black women) to everybody. I refuse to explain or justifying my existence.

Love these hair talks! I completely agree it's crazy how black people always have to try and prove our worth through our hair, clothes, etc. It's also crazy because there are a lot of videos of black women cutting their hair and all the comments are pressed, it's like they want us to have long hair but refuse to believe it when we do!

Ladies you don't have to prove anything to anybody. Beautiful hair, though!

It's disgusting!! Fake until proven real stems from jealousy. People wish their hair looked like others, but if they can believe the person's hair is fake then there's nothing for them to be jealous of. Smh sad

I like your Hair talks. Thank you.

I am a new subscriber and I am enjoying these Hair Talk videos. You & your hair are Gorgeous. I have microlocs & I have always had fast growing hair but some ppl will try to start a convo and ease their hand up to try and touch or pull my hair. When I go out to the Grocery store or run errands I just wear a Headwear to protect my hair & my energy. Please keep making these hair talk videos. I do get asked am I mixed with anything smh

I'm tired of proving it's mine AND proving that I'm Black Black. I tell folks I use puppy blood in my hair to shut the convo down. Sigh. 😳

I’m so glad I found your channel so classy…..

i agree with you completely...Black is beautiful and precious 🙌🏾

Mya, It amazes me how people don't believe Black women can grow long hair. I don't think it is my responsibility to prove anything to anybody. I love hair, however I don't think anyone should have to prove their hair is real. I'm like you...I don't care. ITA...unfortunately, it's mostly us (other Black Women). Arguments are so unnecessary. I am not familiar with the youtuber that performs pranks. I am surprised he didn't sustain any injuries either snatching peoples wigs off. Crazy!!! (I like your M & D t-shirt and matching head wrap). 😉

1.25.23- I’m a new subscriber to your videos and this is my second viewing. I like this message and you said truth. Let us come together, embrace our sisters who has long hair and be kind to our sister. I myself have long hair but I also take good care of it myself along with my great hair stylist. Ask God to bless your hair if you wish for long hair. You have not because you ask not.

Wow! I found this video at the right time to share my experience. A few days ago I wore my hair down and stretched out in its natural state, no perm. My hair is bra strap length and thick, 4a/4b type. I put a bandana in it and headed out to do some grocery shopping. As soon as I step foot in the store, I felt everyone's eyes on me! Especially them Caucasian ladies. I knew it was the hair! Every isle I went in I was getting stares and hater looks! I was uncomfortable at first but after a while I found it to be funny! I wish I was wearing a shirt that said, "I am melanated and yes I have long hair" 😂 😂🤔🙂 Used the word melanated because I don't like using the word" black".

People always asking if my hair is a wig lol I just think it’s hilarious after I spend a whole weekend combing my hair in the shower hahahah

It’s not a vain issue. Paul says a woman’s covering is her uncut hair, and that nature teaches this. The body is important. It will be resurrected, John 5:28.

Thank you for your nice video 👍

I have mid back length hair😅 it’s not that impressive so I can’t relate to this

It happens when people see blk women with long locs dreadlocks first question someone ask what hair did the person use some women have long locs to their butt people will say things like she wouldn’t have long hair if she didn’t have locs which is funny because locs are still hair that has to be washed & moisturize on a regular basis in order to grow just like loose natural hair it takes at least 10 years of taking care of locs for them to grow long people need to stop bashing us

My black hairdressers put something in my hair and it fell out .

I have small locs for 5 years now which have grown almost to my bra strap I get asked on occasions is my hair real I say yes if they don’t believe I don’t care

Alot of mixed people say they are black.

I have 3b/3c hair type and black and white people walk up to me to inspect my hair to see it it is real. I am tired of people thinking they have the right to do this. My hair is just above bra strap length. Because regardless of my hair texture if they think it is weave okay it weave and keep it moving. I assume everyone hair is real. I had black women do rude shit to me in church and other places. When they should learn how to grow their hair. Once a natural black women was rude to me because she could not get her hair pass shoulder length. I was trying to help get pass that length. She was rude and nasty. So I left her alone But I feel black women are the worse when it comes to being supportive of other women. Sometimes I just want to cut my hair off because all the work and the harassment is too much. My hair is color-treated also that is the main reason people should be able to see it is my real hair, But they still walk up on me to see if it is real.

Stop being nice to riude ppl. Please.
