I don't care how a Black woman wears her hair. I just hate when we make stupid statements like, " I won't look right with my natural hair"..Pause....Umm...How can You not look right with the hair that you were naturally born with? I also feel that when women say,"I don't wear my hair naturally because I don't know what to do with it" is a sad,sad statement.

This is a powerful video because it addresses the issues and refutes the counter arguments. I loved it!I've had natural hair all my life.I've struggled with the same guilts of getting a perm. I didn't want people to think I wanted to be white or anything less than black. Now I'm 19 and I have no desire to alter my hair, however when it's straight its easier to manage.

I agree with this. I recently cut my long locks of 20 years. I just needed a change. Most people thought I had committed a sacrilege of some sort. Now I am wearing them short like bob-length. But I am very interested in combing them out and rocking a big Angela Davis AFRO. I want to bring back the afro like the seventies. peas!

India Arie "I Am Not My hair".Besides, everyone forgets that the Egyptian and African women rocked wigs/braids/extensions AND hair color. Were they ashamed of their skin back then too?? Exactly. No...to the point where it would be laughable to think so. Black women have always been/are/and always will be hair pioneers. Since Africa encompasses EVERY hair type and skin color, can you truly act anything other than African? Good video.

So true! i love this video a couple of people have called themselves dissing me because of my hair color and I just let it go because the truth is I could never look white even if I wanted to! I wear me hair blond because it looks good on me and reflects my rebel nature! Nothing more, nothing less! Iam still me regardless.

sweetie u misunderstood me I wasn't even talking about ur vid I was talking about somenelse i saw on utube i thought i made that clear....never even said u were ashame i was talking about young lady's vid where sh actually use the words ugly and dirty to describe blk hair as a reason why i'm choosing to stay natural ...sorry for the misunderstanding

and i think it is rather sad that BW harp over this bull. who in the hell said they were ashamed of any damn thing? at the end of the day, you are still black with bills to pay. this isnt an anti-natural vid. but im sick of natural nazis speaking for every BW and why she does what with her hair. get over it.
eninotna (December 31, 1969 at 6:59 pm)
but still it was sad 2 see a young bw b ashame of her own hair. Its ok 2 straighten & weear weave if u want a change or diff. but I thinks these young bg r getting the wrong msg that there's somethin wrong w/there own hair-even though i use 2 blow out my hair I've decided not 2 even do that I'm sick and tired of being a walkin advertisement 4 white beauty- i mean really how can we be mad @ bm 4 picking the real thing over us. SOrry just my opinion |
