National Cable Television and of all places CNN is not the place to talk about black issues, with commercials for Macaroni and Cheese and Fried Chicken and cheesy ads with African American lead actors playing between segments. Come on now. You don’t find this program just a little goofy and superficial?
I’m sorry I thought African Americans lived in this country just like everyone else and have issues affecting them like everyone else.
This type of “black in america” shit has no place on CNN. This is embarrassing.
i was thinking the same thing they’re bragging about how their hair makes them stand out but their hair is relaxed to look pretty much the same as evryone elses so i can’t see what would have made her hair so intrigueing that the whites would want to touch it unless it was natural, braids,or dreads or something… but theirs nothing that stands out about a black woman with a perm unless her real hair is longer than shoulder length or something cause that standsout
focusin2002, when we perm our hair, its still not nearly as silky and soft as theirs, so u r WRONG, its NOT the same! ugh ignorance!
She invented/patented the hot comb, which is a tool to what? STRAIGHTEN HAIR. It isn’t a myth, she helped get black women in the state we are today.
i love this video! thank you so much for putting it up. this is going straight to my favourites!
its so true!!!
You’re right, nappy hair isn’t good hair, it’s GREAT hair. And I’m so grateful and thankful everyday for the way the lord made me.
God made no mistakes when he gave me (and my people) nappy hair.
I hope you love your god given hair as much as I do.
Peace.
nappy hair is not good hair.. i know u dont have nappy hair cuz u dont like it … and black girls do get too into their hair like chill
Exactly! I’m not bashing black women with relaxed hair at all, but when the girl was saying all the white girls wanted to touch her hair, I was thinking your hair is now like theirs and they just want to see if it feels the same as their. Your hair is not different when you use chemicals to make it straight like theirs!
This is the truth
what she says at the begining is sooooo true
about black womens hair bieng like weight to white women haha
that was funny
When I returned to my natural hair about 19 months ago, I felt a tremendous relief. I will never perm again. I love my natural hair and cannot imagine it ever being different again. My sister and cousin also have natural hair. Natural hair is indeed a beautiful thing.
I don’t believe it was a myth…….llahmen
Myth #1 Miss CJ Walker did not create products to straighten hair. She made products to reduce breakage, dryness, balding and to make African hair easier to manage. Corperate America made the first hair relaxer called kink-killa. People do your research.
Nappy hair is so beautiful, this “good” hair mentality MUST END!
I didn’t watch the segment (working nights) but did CNN Black in America even address natural hair?
THANK YOU!!! Less is more and goes a long way in keeping hair healthy. I’ve been natural for 17 years and have worn locs, twa, extensions, and yes, everything you said is exactly right!! I am starting my locs again after the damage of hair color, petroleum, and product buildup that ruined my 4 year old locs, it’s 100% of all natural products and shampoo from now on. I tried Taliah Wahjid for the 1st time and L O V E it!
The key to healthy natural black hair is to use natural products. Stop blow drying (the dry heat breaks your hair), stop using crappy products full of petroleum and chemicals (use Oils, olive, almond, rosemary, cedarwood) and stop believing that Motions etc have different ingredients from Head and Shoulders etc because they don’t. Royal Roots and Taliah Wahjid have some great products that don’t strip your hair of its moisture and protein. GREASE is not the answer.
I feel what you’re both (theabomation and dnice5555…) saying. I cut off my relaxed hair three months ago and it felt like a huge weight was left on the floor. Never again would I put those chemicals that I wouldn’t dare put on my skin in my hair. I respect my hair and treat it so much better now and have learned to take care of it as I always should have. My sister and mother went back to natural hair before me and I’m proud of how we wear it.
i hate when blacks call str8 hair good hair and kinky hair bad hair lol.thats another example of the slave mentality that permeates us as a whole. we hate ourselves and afrocentric beauty
Interesting..
i agree i love a women who wears her natural hair
