@@deepierre7575 Skin that is used to not having makeup doesn’t have the ‘tired’ look. I took the opportunity to finally break away from it when the pandemic hit and we were quarantined. The skin on my face and neck were completely different from the rest of my body. Neck up was pale and ‘tired’. Neck down was youthful and vibrant. I went back to using clays (rhassoul and bentanite) and Dead Sea mud powder, enhancing them with Ayurvedic powders (rose, neem, aloe, Amla, Brahmi, Zizyphus). My skin now looks better than it did when I was a teenager. It took a whole year, which seems like a long time to bounce back, but considering I wore makeup for 10 years, maybe not.

As someone who has been to school, church, weddings, cinema, theater, holiday etc with my natural hair I have no conception of why anyone will want to say this. Imagine sending a message to not only your niece but other young girls that their hair is not enough. People need to stop being ignorant.

Miss Universe’s words made me cry, she made the point so clearly and beautifully. As an Afro-haired Latina who grew up in a mostly white environment, it took me so long to learn to love my natural hair. I’m so proud of her for being so confident at her young age. She deserves that crown. 👸🏾🤎✨

Let's stop the self-hatred and love our dark skin and natural hair. Self care and self love. Thank you Fumi

When you find black women talking about natural hair not good enough to go to an event it shows how they feel about themselves without the dead hair extensions or wigs. Beauty is how “YOU” feel and think about yourself. The ladies were expressing how they feel about themselves and projecting their feelings on to us. I love me and am a very confident black woman; who owns who I am with and without my wigs or extensions. Love yourself and everyone will in turn love you. God gave us what He knew we all could rock and until we embrace our true self we will continue to feel inadequate. Your natural beauty is the best authentic BEAUTY!

Ditching the wigs and weaves is the best decision I have ever made. My hair is healthy, thriving, and looking much better than the struggle wigs I used to wear. Lol. We should remember that wearing someone elses hair carries certain energy and possible trauma and synthetic hair is no better. It's definitely a process, and going natural really helped me remove what I didn't know was self-hatred ❤

Most especially for reading, and noting what we; your followers writes and send to you... it shows that you' engaging we your audience❤❤ Thanks again, for being a good ambassador ,for most of our black youths; who are derailing from the train they're riding on. By the way, your Aunty Maureen Desalu ,was someone i used to admire; whenever she visited the Finance Office i worked at ,back in the 90s. When she speaks then, I'll just be mesmerized, be watching.. Very jovial ,and joyful, and graceful. Guess it runs in the family. I think she just relocated back to Nigeria then. So whenever you're talking about how family, you come/came from,.... i cam relate to that. Totally agree with you on the subject, how our up bringing, famliy plays a big role; an important factor into how we turn out at times in life. Also, up bringing, acts as a factor, in the decisions; we make as we progress in life. I tell the youths who come up to me, obssesed with social media, cos that's the new training, parenting, school where they learn and borrow ideas from. I am not against them and social media relationship, however, I tell them if they need to follow and believe, adopt everything on social media they should check out your channel. With your channel, they can learn some real truth about life, and not the shinanigans ridiculous ideas, they adopt from whoever they're following...... You've been in the industry of fashion, modelling, acting etc. So you're relatable in my opinion. A lot of misleading contents, on KZread, social media in general. All these,and more, are; reshaping, clouding, and re-directing our youths in a wrong way.. By the way, i ike how you always putting a word in, for your friend Christina. I follow her on KZread. Let's encourage, promote, one another, in every way. That's the spirit of sister hood. God help our youths, us all, ijn Amen.

Some people don’t see free form locs as groomed or beautiful. The same way we don’t see unbrushed and tangled white hair as beautiful. Nothing about race for me, everything about style. Everyone is free to decide what is beautiful to them. But all means if you find free form locs beautiful then it shouldn’t matter what others think. Seeking external validation is ridiculous when you love something. To me, natural hair is the most beautiful. Groomed = DETANGLED and intentional/maintained. So i don’t find free form locs beautiful but I love locs in general esp. sister locs. I’ll never judge or correct someone with it tho. Likewise no one should judge or correct me for my taste.

It's simply letting your hair grow, in its natural form. Based on grooming preferences, how does that change or reduce one's natural beauty? If to be 'groomed' means avoiding certain natural states, it can be classified as a 'non natural ' process. How then can the manipulation of hair decide what natural beauty is? It's why I asked the commenter for their explanation of the point, given my own thoughts. It isn't about my opinion of free formed locs. I wanted to explore why self acceptance is limited to 'neat/ groomed' hair.

I was 27 years old when I decided to lock my 4c hair. My mother did not agree to this and warned me I better not do it in her house. lol So I waited until I moved. I’m 56 years old now. I cut my hair twice before I locked my hair and I was uncomfortable until I decided to embrace my hair. Both times it was because the perm did something to my hair and had to cut it. I wish this way of thinking about our hair wasn’t so ingrained into our psyche. It should not be “something we have to go through.” Because of what I went through, I made sure my daughter was going to LOVE her hair. LOVE her skin. Every chance I got, I poured into her and she got it. She wears no perms. she has wigs and wears them occasionally. What I found about the clip was the vigor in which they spoke about the hair that is growing from their own scalp and they did not recognize how venomous they sounded. The way they turned up their lips… just breaks my heart. I hope we heal and learn to embrace our true selves.

I love my beautiful natural hair. I have been wearing my hair like this for many years. I had natural hair back in the 70’s and wore it with pride.

They think they are being so clever, but it’s very much giving mean girl, classless, insecure, and embarrassing. Like, can’t even imagine my future husband, his family, and/or friends stumbling across that clip.

Then the flip side are the b men degrading bw FOR wearing weaves, wigs and hairpieces! This community is tearing young girls apart with this rag doll tug of war mentality! It's SICK!

Natural beauty comes first. Fumi you are natural beauty.❤

I am currently wearing a crochet braid protective hairstyle after almost 30 straight years of relaxers. I shared a selfie wearing nothing but moisturizer on my face ... the only person who immediately recognised me was my husband - I looked and felt so beautiful at 50! Thanks for all you do, Fumi! ❤

You're a trendsetter. Our ancestors regarded our hair very sacredly. After cutting we used to bury it to give it back to nature. Also, covering the head, the crown Chakra, you can't hear messages from the ancestors. To me, I could never! Love your message today gorgeous black Woman. Our hair suits us! Period! ❤

I am LIVING FOR THIS LOOK! Love it. Effortless chic, timeless beauty. Love it!

This is so refreshing, Fumi. One of the best shows you have ever done. You are indeed beautiful, as are all Black women- just As God made us. Real beauty comes from within. Thank you for your authenticity and grace.

Sister Fumi, thanks for addressing this issue. It's un fortunate that we've been miss educated about ourselves, especially our black hair, and believe it. The message is very subliminal... we look forward as teenagers to straighten our hair without even knowing why until, as you said, we get to the place where we embrace and accept our hair and our African heritage. Love you and your content.

I think that's why you look so much more beautiful with your new natural do, because now we can see your beautiful features so much better.

You look absolutely fabulous with your natural hair ❤

We should love ourselves no matter how we wear our hair. Our worth is not in our hair, clothes, money etc. anything less is self hatred. What we're born with is part of our identity. How we see ourselves is how we're socialized by the world we live in. I see wigs weaves etc as fashion decisions. I understand the color classism and how historically it happens. It's sad we still don't value ourselves in 2024.. Keep on loving yourself Fumi 👏🎉

C'mon blouse! Love that top! Edit: I stand corrected...c'mon, whimsical dress!

Yay!!!! Congratulations on never relaxing your hair ever again! Our hair is so versatile.

Lady Fumi thank you for being a beautiful ambassador for natural hair. You look stunning and we appreciate your commitment to promote self-love & self-preservation. Black hair is spiritual and sacred. Black hair allows versatility with soo much hairstyle to enhance ones look, knowing who you are, your lineage and ancestory. Artificial, unnatural hair is a temporary solution that often brings about long-term damage to our scalp, stops hair growth, encourages alopecia, alters your appearance that impacts on your self-esteem. Most often, foreign substances are used together with unnatural, fake hair products. The latter fact is not adequately addressed. Carefully interrogate the negative effects of this practice. In our culture once you cut your natural hair, It myst be burnt/ destroyed as its dead hair and not to be reused. Now adding unnatural hair, wigs to your medulla interferes with the connection to the biology of the anatomy and it allows other lifeforms to enter the sacred space. What are you inviting and what remains with you??? The cosmetic industry must step up on safer products for black people's hair. Black people let's not degrade ourselves by advocating colonial values. We cannot in this century be agents or puppets of " house negro" mentality. Let's not embarrass ourselves. Look in the mirror and accept you're beautifully made. Our children must not be misled. We must end this lie. Black natural hair is beautiful. Our very own Lady Fumi, looks breathtakingly ravishing. She looks younger, happy and fresh ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉

During the pandemic I did the big chop, no longer able to have my relaxed hair done every two weeks. I had been relaxing my hair from the age of 14 (was approaching 60). I loved my natural short hair but found it was more work than I wanted to deal with so, I found a stylist who said how about the two strand twists? My twists naturally turned into locs and I absolutely love them. I by the way am a lighter shade of brown sister with straight up, tightly coiled hair. Like you dear Fumi, I will never relax my hair again and embracing what God gave me. As you so eloquently say .. I live and love for it❣️❣️ Blessings and light to you and the Fumi Nation🥰

This is a next-level video. The part with natural hair to church and kids school. Wow so God doesn't deserve you to look presentable with natural or dress it up as well. . 🤣🤣. I can't stand ignorant people who think this hair we are born with is like we are not beautiful. Mrs Fumi, you look like a sexy school teacher 🍎❤

I appreciate that you have been rocking a fro. So many of us 4C girls spend a lot of time doing wash and go's, twists, twist outs, extensions, etc. It's refreshing to see a beautiful glowing afro. I wish more of us felt comfortable with it.

Preach Fumi! I encourage my child and all younger members of my family that they are beautiful just the way they are. All my nieces have become natural and they love it. They are sorry they didn’t do it sooner. There’s nothing wrong with wearing wigs or weaves but it shouldn’t be because you’re ashamed of your hair. I hope there will be a day when all black women come to the realization that there’s nothing wrong with their hair.

I’ve got a fro and putting on my lace front tonight. But better believe the natural styles are ultimate elegance. Also, that wig on that lady was hard, stringy and dry at the same time. Her natural probably would have looked better.

Beautiful Fumi, I am sooooo glad if the young people who are now embracing themselves. Thankfully, my parents raised us to be beautiful, my father (1902-1986) taught us abour colonisation and oppression and my mother (1922-1997) taught us beauty within ourselves and others. My family has waist-length dreads, afros, twists, and some sometimes wore wigs as fun - throughout, we know, believe, and think we are beautiful. Blessings, Fumi and your tribe :)

Fumi you look soooo much more beautiful with your natural hair! I 😍❤love it

“I don’t see how this is not fabulous…..” this sentiment encapsulates my feelings precisely about this situation! I too have natural hair that I adore and adorn! I additionally tend to my self presentation and have not identified my hair as a detractor from my fabulousness, indeed the opposite! My natural hair has elevated my beauty and made me much more regal and fiercely beautiful (dare I say so myself 😊)! Thank you Fumi for your poignant, well articulated and wisdom imbued discussion! Love from Trinidad and Tobago !

I SOOOOO feel the same way, Fumi regarding the bad, obviously fake hairline from a bad wig, and I detest the long, fake, over embellished nails. I agree also it’s ridiculous not to wear short hair and wearing overly long fake lashes that actually truly look fake. All of this reeks of insecurity and self hate.

If you go out of your way to try to make others feel bad about themselves, you are not feeling good about yourself. Rock you and rock it loud! Fumi you are gorgeous!

Insecurity to the max with the 1st girl that spoke.

It is okay if she does not want natural beauties at her event. I doubt they would even go as natural women are mostly stylish, well spoken and we would not go on the net to say foolishness like that. Fumy, you always look wonderful. Your energy is pure. None of the women there can hold a candle up to you. But as you said...that is their mindset...that is the stage they are in, we leave them there as we are here enjoying all this knowledge and entertainment.

Thanks Fums well said. I'm 45 this month and ever since I've started watching your show 2 years ago, girl I tell you, I've never loved myself like I do now. There's nothing as fulfilling as living in the "mind your own business world"❤❤🇿🇦

They are hilarious 😂 They truly don’t know better. They were not taught better. It’s blissful ignorance. I’ve never worn a wig or weave in my life. They were not mean or vindictive in the comments. It’s their preference but not mine

We are in the same boat sister. I love my natural hair.

Yes, a tutorial is much needed on wearing short hair. You are a beautiful role model 🌹

I will give a naturalista grace but if your wig tacky and you paid for it…. Nope 😂

Very well said Fumi very well said ❤👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

I am very Proud of you as well Fumi💕💕💕💕💕💕

You are so fabulous and wise. Great discussion!

Thank you so much. I watched that video and really took offense to it. Your words were my exact sentiments. Thank you for using your platform to discuss this topic👏👏👏❤

Preach Fumi ,you’re so right . Thank you .

Yess Fumi! I just love your channel. Bless you

Auntie Fumi, thanks for tackling this topic ❤. It’s been long overdue.I am one of those who love your new look❤❤❤❤. Hmmmmm! I am a Ugandan 🇺🇬,(East African)living abroad in a Black minority country and very proud of and wear my natural hair however expensive it is to maintain. I feel so proud whenever I wear it because it’s my identity. I AM NOT ashamed of it. There are so many of us in the same state and few who still think like the girls in the podcast. The most proud African woman is the one living abroad especially in Black minority countries . I kid you not. It’s simplicity, authenticity and heritage pride for us. All those layers of makeup for what? BBL for what? Bleaching for what? Wigs are way cheaper than rocking my natural hair. I am me, accept me the way I am. Anybody around here can prove me wrong.

I love this 😍😍😍☀️☀️☀️☀️

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Love the haircut, Auntie Fumi! Thanks for sharing Enitan’s products. I’m glad we have some more products for our hair :)

This was such a powerful message from you Auntie Fumi, thank you❤🙏🏾 I used to be a weave girl in my 20s, but now I'm a braids girl (just had a fresh set put in and I love them😍). The main reason I do braids now is because of convenience...I don't have the time to maintain my natural hair underneath (I'm mostly natural and do my best to look after it, keep it moisturized, only do blow out relaxer twice a year but will eliminate that soon🙏🏾) because my work is very demanding and I just want to get up and go...but I appreciate what you've said: no matter what we choose, our hair is beautiful...and we are beautiful with it! ❤ We need more voices of understanding and acceptance like yours, rather than judgement, when it comes to this subject.

I don't know you personally Fumi. I LOVE YOU for what you say. Black is beautiful everyone needs to love whatever color shape hair type God has given them.

Such wisdom madam Funmi. I love the tactful way you addressed this.

Let everyone live and breathe- thank you Aunty Fumi ❤❤❤❤❤

Wow!!! I love that you said it perfectly!! This is my mind set.

This video was so inspiring and just beautiful. 😩 A tear-jerker. Thank You SO much for continuing to spread self-love. ❤

I love your natural hair… I am on the same natural journey and I admire your bravery in cutting your hair making the full transition. I love you Fumi!

I’m excited to try my starter kit! I have a thin spot from the sew in weaves pole method thank goodness my hair grew back

You’re such an inspiration, Aunty Fumi. Just beautiful inside and out. Love you 💖

My sister, you are a treat! I thank God for you!💖💖💖💖

"I don't see how this is not fabulous."😎 Yaass Fumi! I just love you!❤
