When I went natural I fell in love with my natural hair instantly, I’ve never seen my curls before I never sat in front of a mirror with my natural hair being done it was always in front of a television nor was I given mirror to look at it, my mom expressed how she couldn’t stand it, until it was in braids or my hair was straightened with a hot comb that was only time my hair was beautiful to her. I felt bad about myself growing up during those times --poor self esteem and poor self image. I did my self care 4 years ago eliminating toxic people and I started to love and nurture everything about me and take care of my inner child that didn’t have a chance to be her own kind of beautiful until now. It’s amazing what eliminating toxic people and toxic traits can do. Self love is important to have-it reflects on choices in life😊

Hello. Here is more information: The Code Noir, or black code, was a French law that restricted the lives of people of color living in French colonies. It had first been created to apply in the Caribbean colonies in 1685, but was extended to Louisiana in 1724. Spanish authorities instituted a similar law, first in 1769 and again in 1778.[3] By 1786, Esteban Rodríguez Miró was the Spanish governor of Louisiana. He disliked actions some black women had taken, considering them to show "too much luxury in their bearing."[4] White women began to urge Miró to act to restrict the fashion of non-whites. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tignon_law

It always took so much time, and I was always nervous of last-minute events because I needed so much time to do my hair. But then I realized my hair took so much time because I was manipulating it way too much. I was trying for my hair to be what it naturally wasn't and curl in ways it naturally didn't, which required a lot of time, product and hair gadgets.

This is sad. She thinks of her as inferior. As Malcolm X asked. Who told you to hate yourself. This attitude can all be traced back to slavery.

It seems to be where we were in the 70s-90s with perms and into the 2000s with weaves, and many people are still there-looking down on the race for wearing natural hair.

@@CammyjOfficial I see it on young cancer patients, and that’s okay, but if possible and I know that it’s based on the child, but I believe it’s good to instill in the child that they are beautiful no matter what. For example, I had breast cancer. Although I am an adult, but after choosing to do a complete mastectomy, I wear my bare chest with no shame, at all ever. We are all different I know, and children are so very delicate.

I’m disgusted by her comments. I’m a hairstylist and I use to wear my hair all types of ways but I have come to this point where I think it’s of the utmost importance that I wear my natural hair. I’m regularly confronted by peoples attitudes and judgments about my hair in a way I never noticed before. It hurts my soul that the world has so much hatred towards us including our own people. I have 4c hair and I love it, I don’t know why anyone feels that they have the authority to police it. It’s gorgeous unlike that chicks wig. People are so offended by my confidence as I flaunt my beautiful hair as though they think I have no right to feel this way. It’s just sad and pathetic that so many black people feel like their blackness isn’t good enough. I’m sorry they feel that way but I’m the shit so don’t tell me to put on a tacky wig to go to your event.

People are offended by your confidence because it goes against everything they were taught about hating themselves. I’ve seen it OFTEN. When a dark skin black woman with 4C hair has confidence, people are UPSET and want her to “humble” herself!!! Why? Because she loves herself and doesn’t believe the lies told about her complexion and hair!!!!!

Yes and there were videos I found of children getting these wigs but decided only to use one in my example. It is sad.

It made me feel bad for her. That she’s downloaded the programming that her body as the dna formed it is not good enough. It’s heartbreaking. Then to try to take one’s own shame to use it to bludgeon against other women is next level. All women should feel free to wear a multiplicity of styles (I often wear blow outs in the icy cold of winter since my super dense super coarse hair takes 3 days to dry) but I think I look absolutely stunning and just outstanding in my fro. I know we are all on a spectrum of unpacking colonialism (I wore my hair relaxed for years and years) so her ideas reflect ones I held in the past, but it’s so sad to see how alive this still is. I’m old, I had so much hope for young folks, but just like everything in society, we are in a retrograde moment.

The ignorance is so real. I really hope we can leave this ignorance against our OWN community in 2023! We don't need this foolishness in 2024... smh! You hit it ON THE NAIL when you called it a "colonized mind". Spot 👏🏾 on 👏🏾 Also, I'm definitely with you that Black hair is always an issue in society. No one can make anyone feel inferior without their consent. We need to actively and intentionally SHED these old colonialist ideas about natural hair.

Most overt flack I have gotten throughout my life regarding my natural, type 4 hair, has been from other black people, basically deeming it “unkempt” because I was not obsessed with having bone straight hair constantly or wearing weaves or pieces.

@@CammyjOfficial I think back to the summer of 2005 when I got a summer job in Montana as a college junior headed towards my 4th year. There were foreign workers alongside me, some coming from Jamaica, Trinidad and other places. They gave me SO much ridicule, constantly asking me why I didn’t “cream” my hair, although I was staying in a shared cabin and had no access to a black salon. I guess they didn’t like that I would not rush to get a straightening perm somewhere. I just ignored them and kept a simple ponytail for the summer. After 2011, I officially abandoned chemicals altogether and have stayed that way.

@@CammyjOfficial No worries. I was very strong-willed and refused to let people stress me out about aesthetics. My apologies regarding the above post; I meant the summer of 2006. I have never been great at handling my hair on wash days or having enough time, so I just go to a salon and stick to simple styling.

I'm confused because all the wigs in the podcast looked bad but okay, lol. OAN, the overall commentary is problematic and unfortunate. Women should be able to wear their hair the way they want but she could have kept those ignorant comments to herself. I wore waist length locs for 16 years and cut them off about two years ago to be a loose natural (tapered cut wash n go), this summer I went to being a baldie and I love it! I tried to play in wigs just to change up the look every now and then but its something about seeing my natural hair and the structure of my face that just screams confidence.😉 Nothing wrong with wigs but your wig shouldn't look worse than your natural hair on a bad day. 🤷‍♀

I definitely agree that there’s nothing wrong with wigs, but it’s definitely a problem when someone says natural hair isn’t good enough to be worn and seen as elegant. I am all for people being able to do what they want with their hair, just don’t put natural hair down while you do what you do. I appreciate your commentary!

Poor thing is so deluded. There are so many gorgeous updos that can be done on hair that's medium length or longer. And shorter hair can be set with twists, knots, etc. for a beautiful texture. And all the hairdos can be adorned beautifully. I'm not angry; I just think it's pitiful.

I've been natural for over 5 years now and my female co-workers have called me many names. From trifling dog to I was wearing a wig. And they are the ones who wear wigs & dye their hair.

First time watching and commenting I saw your commenting disclosures and #2 had me hollering! Not people thinking your daughter is biracial and even if she was that wouldn't be anyone's business people are weird. I'll never forget I was doing class observations and it was a little black girl 4th grade. She kept putting her hood on and her teacher (yt lady) kept telling her to take it off. She did this 2x before her teacher asked her why she keeps putting her hood on. I knew why because the days before she would wear a little stretchy headband similar that lady wig in the video and that particular day she didn't have one, so her edges were exposed. The little girl started crying and she told her to step outside so they could talk. When they were out talking her classmates (yt) said what's wrong with her. I told them she doesn't think her hair looks good and that they should tell her it looks fine. They were confused cause they said they didn't notice anything wrong with it nor did they say anything about her hair. The teacher came back in and when I saw her go into the closet and saying what i had inferred that she didn't like her hair while she was pulling out a ribbon 🎀 The little girl came back in happy and I'll never forget it. Her hair was fine and she felt inferior because her hair was exposed and she considered it "not done" I implore parents to be mindful of the language they use around their kids especially their daughters kids are like sponges. I know if she was around our kind they woulda said her edges not done or her hair nappy and Billy and Becky did not care. We are our worst enemy because none of them cared and even in real life theh don't care. I obviously know this hair hate stems from colonialism but the most derogatory remarks I've gotten came from my people even some family members 😵‍💫

Girl, that’s why I said it be your own people. I have only heard black people weaponize the word nappy against other black folks hair in this age. I remember my friend went natural and she went to her family reunion… they tore her up about it her hair. She left in tears because people were saying she looked like someone from the color purple and when she was gonna take that “thing” on her head. Thank you for watching and commenting!

Exactly! Everyone else gets to be FREE with their hair but US. WHY!? Why is it that Afro textured hair is described as “unkempt” and needs to be “tamed”. We have been programmed to think there is something inherently WRONG with our hair when that is the opposite of the TRUTH. Once we stop seeing ourselves through the lens of European beauty standards we can start appreciating who we are.

I'm going to get dragged but... I wouldn't wear my natural hair for special occasions either. Not because it's ugly, I wear my natural hair 85% of the time and when I'm not wearing it I wear braids. It's about switching things up. Girls with straight hair curl their hair, and girls with curly hair like to straighten it for special occasions. At very least, I'd try to do a nice twist out or a flexi rod set, but you know that they're a hit or miss and might not come out well. I've had way more unsuccessful twist outs than great ones. The bigger issue is her projecting her own preferences onto other people and think that since she doesn't want to wear her natural hair that everyone else shouldn't. That screams self-hatred

I am a firm believer that people can and should wear their hair the way they want. I am also a firm believer that natural hair is beautiful and worthy in all spaces for all occasions. Girls with straight hair do curl their hair and vice versa, but it is never looked at as a requirement to be seen as beautiful for them. If they decided not to curl their hair or wear it straight people would automatically accept it as being good enough for whatever occasion they are attending. Black people seems to be the only ones who’s natural hair has to be restructured in order to be seen as “good enough”, when in reality our natural hair is already good enough as it grows out of our heads, just like other races.

Hey sister that's what I'm saying. I got pushed over the edge seeing that baby get a wig put on her head. So I am starting in the month of June Celebrating the Beauty of Black Hair. Wear your own hair natural, relaxed, wash n go, stop and press, curly, coily, long, short, shaved and laid. Wear any style as long as it's all yours growing from your head. The beautiful hair that GOD. Gave you, stop covering your hair with other races hair. No Indian woman's hair, No Asian woman's hair. Let's Celebrate our beauty. Enough is enough stop the insanity. So let's see all of the beautiful black hair celebrated in June. May GOD bless all of my beautiful sisters. Lets love on ourselves and our own hair. ❤

It's really sad that in this day and age, a black woman can say that about natural black hair. Just sad.

The part that really bothers me about when black women make comments about black natural hair is that ok who are YOU to tell ME where and when to wear MY natural hair?!?! My hair is beautiful, I've done way too much work on my natural hair journey to be told by some RANDOM woman that my hair isn't elegant. It's also so weird that if another race were to say this it'd be a whole BLM movement but another black woman saying it it's just "her telling her opinion", which I've heard some fellow black people say. Like NO we should be just as up and arms when ANYONE says some foolish stuff like this about black women and their hair or anything else about black women. Are we not tired of being told how we need to be and look in order to be "accepted"?! I'm tired of the acceptance movement honestly because it's become nothing but trying to people-please and fit in.
