Our ancestors used bear grease and other thick pomade like materials in layers to straighten too! I love this! This is why pressing with grease was a thing for us… because we’ve always done it!🙌🏽😍

i remember back in the day females in my family would straighten their hair with hot iron combs with oils or thick grease just like what is pictured in the video. My people are from Alabama and have ALWAYS been on that land which is also known for quilting blankets, another indigenous practice.

It's widely know bear grease was used to slick and hold the hair down.

Yucca root was used for this. Along with other plants and animal fats.

I'm native I have thick wavy texture braid are my best friend;)

They make it seem like American Indians didn't do fix their hair up. Some used whale& bear fat is pomade

Madame CJ Walker may have had the sense to get.a patent on something that probably been around for hundreds of years. He have to check the archaeological record and see if there were any combs ever found; especially, combs made of brass. That would be a potential HOT COMB Wet wash that hair with soap/shampo, grease that hair heavily with grease, heat that brass hot comb a little, do what your ancestors taught you to do with grease and hair. Check this out Pa-rís-ka-roo-pa, Two Crows, a Band Chief: 1832 "I have also secured portraits of (the two subjects) … fine and fair specimens of this tribe, in both of which are exhibited the extraordinary instances of the *natural hair reaching to the ground,* peculiarities belonging almost exclusively to this tribe. … The Crows are generally handsome, and comfortably clad; every man in the nation *oils his hair with a profusion of bear's grease,* and promotes its growth to the utmost of his ability.… "In a former letter I gave some account of the head peculiar to this tribe, which may well be recorded as a national characteristic. … This striking peculiarity is quite conspicuous in the two portraits of which I have just spoken, exhibiting fairly, as they are both in profile, the semi-lunar outline of the face. … The greater part of the men are thus strongly marked with a *bold and prominent anti-angular nose,* with a *clear and rounded arch,* and a *low and receding forehead"* (Letters and Notes, vol. 1, p. 193, p1s. 77, 78). Painted at the Hidatsa village in 1832. These two portraits, among the finest of the Upper Missouri series, represent the sum of Catlin's admiration for the *tall and elegant Crow warriors.* In the Field Museum version, the robe of the subject lacks certain decorative details and his profile is a hasty caricature of the Smithsonian original. Otherwise, the two oils and the Gilcrease watercolor closely resemble one another and plate 77 in Letters and Notes. Cartoon 122 may be another oil-on-canvas version of number 163. Catlin must have inadvertently reversed the plate numbers for the two subjects in his text. He describes Two Crows correctly in the 1848 catalogue as wearing a "head-dress made of the eagle's skin entire" and holding "his lance and two medicine-bags." Two Crows appears again in cartoon 27, with his wife and several Crow warriors. *He Who Ties His Hair Before* is shown in cartoon 25, which is based on a watercolor (pl. 24) in the Gilcrease Souvenir album.

That first pic is definitely wooly hair, mine and the rest of the people I know with that type of hair who straighten their hair looks just like that

no such thing as slave ships...google a n image of a real "slave ship"...nothing will appear. no xlavd ships were or evervwill be found. that slave ship shit is a myth. if not prove me wrong and send some links. thanks.

yung noble ummm you do know off the island of St. Vincent they have a wrecked slave ship right? And the people on the island the Garifunas are African mixed Natives right?

They had naturally straight hair. This is just a theory as hilarious as people who think the earth is flat.

@stefan davis LOL no. Pacific Islander hair is different. I have enough Pacific Islander friends to know the difference between their hair and ours. People outside of our communities always think they know more about us than they do... Spend time in our communities before you talk about us like you know. People who run with these conspiracy theories always avoid coming to our communities to test the theories.

@stefan davis The "internet information age" is the problem. It does not substitute going to the communities and being around people. That's what is fueling the conspiracy theories this video maker is spewing, he's not going to the communities he's talking about and doing everything via the internet. The natural hair of pacific islanders and the natural hair of indigenous people of the Americas is VERY different. If you'd spent much time around indigenous people here you'd know that. And the hair of African Americans is VERY different from that of indigenous people here, too. Go spend extended time in Tuba City, AZ and Pine Ridge, SD and Calgary, AB and White Swan, WA and you'll get educated enough to know things in real life instead of conspiracy theories from the internet far removed from the actual people you're talking about.

@stefan davis I know indigenous hair type as I'm Siksika and have LIVED in indigenous communities all around North America and regularly interacting with indigenous people of North and South America regularly IN PERSON. As much hair as I've combed, brushed, and braided over the years, I'M FAMILIAR WITH IT. I'm very familiar with our hair and how it is unique and different from Samoans, Hawaiians, Tongans, Fijians, and people from Pompeii from having seen their hair IN PERSON. I'm familiar with how our hair is different from African Americans and Africans from having seen it IN PERSON.

Bahaha your conspiracy theories get more and more hilarious... PLEASE take this theory to our elders in places like Shiprock, NM and Fort Washakie, WY and record what happens.

No theory this is a fact. You have to coil electric motors for them to produce a spin. If the wires were straight in a electric motors. It would not produce any spin or energy. What is fur? What is hair?
