Thanks for the link and the video. On point, I'm not sure that the ancient Nubians and Egyptians all wore wigs. I saw videos on the Afar people. Many of them look very much like the ancient Egyptians and Nubians. They have the same styles as the ancients. They actually wear their hair and style it with butter and animal fat. I actually tried it myself.

Africans are gorgeous, and we have the most amazing hair in the world. Our creativity is incredible...

TOO REAL!!!

Gosh! I think it’s crazy you never see photos like these! All theses women are drop dead gorgeous and stunning. It’s nice to see old traditional hairstyles of a culture. In America their aren’t many strong role models of different ethnicities. Even then models and what not straighten their hair, lighten their skin and. Work hard to adhere to In a sense they are trying to copy and mimic Something that’s literally impossible to replicate physically. A good example of this is if you have a pear-shaped body and the standard of beauty was a inverted triangle shaped body. So instead of wearing clothes that was flattering to you you were close that were designed for people with big chests in little hips even though you had big hips in the small chest. I couldn’t even imagine living in a world where you had to mimic textured hair and to need dark back skin. My hair is just not design that way. it’s way too thinns and brittle I doubt it could take all the chemicals they would need to make a curly, dark and thick. I would have to dye my skin. My nose is way too long and I would need surgery. I am way too thin and don’t have beautiful curves.And after I’ve probably got all that done to try to be beautiful I would still like awkward because I would not be flattering my natural looks. Dark is beautiful!!! Textured hair is beautiful!!! Living yourself for who you are is beautiful!!!!.

I have actually gone on a natural hair journey and it's now been a year. I feel so powerful even though I was first daunted, having had relaxed hair from a child.

From watching this video and seeing the different tribes, hair, and styles just goes to show want black people has been saying all along, is that Africans are brothers and sisters in most cases but they are not all the same as we see through all their different styles ect...

Thank you this was great. I am so thankful that we are waking up and embracing our beautiful hair! I am a proud 51 year old African American woman, and I wish so much that we had this positive hair movement back when I was a teenager. My friends and I would have enjoyed the wonderful, simple things in life so much more, like playing in the rain, going for walks in the rain with our boyfriends, swimming and not worrying about how our hair was gonna look, actually getting our hair washed more often! I'm so glad this generation won't have to carry those burdens. I no longer carry them either. I love my natural hair! It is a gift from God!

thank you brother for educating us on black history ..need more like you .

awesome i just cut most of my hair so that i can just do me. no more weaves, wigs, or anything. im just wearing a small afro. i am loving it.

Wow not one racist white or Ottoman Turk here ( Arab nowadays), so glad I found this channel.

about 50% arabs are muslim. the other roughly 50% are christian. islam is the only true religion. God says in the quran that the only thing that makes anyone superior is how pious he/she is in relationship to God. it has nothing to do with race or nationality in islam. read the quran, it's the truth, and God only judges by your faith and worship/piousness towards Him. so, at least per the muslim people whether white, black, arab, asian or whatever there is no such thing as racism.

OMG nice to see this tribute! I am obsessed with hair! Medical doctor by day & hair diva by night. No hair do can I not recreate !

In Africa, hair represented beauty, culture and class. This practice is common among many peoples around the world. In the West(Americas) however, Africans make use of perms because of dislike/hatred for their own hair. Africans on the continent have also adopted this behaviour. They are ashamed of their hair. The natural hair movement exist because women are aware of this issue. Natural hair is beautiful!

I'm a Yoruba man, I think it's about time we stop criticising women and what they choose to do with their hair. Women own their bodies and they have every right to do with their hair as they choose. It's very misogynistic when men are the ones always seemingly prescribing best practices for womanhood. The constant pressures of conformity to status quo is the same exact reason why there is a shift to self determination in all aspects of life (and rightly so) as we're observing today. As Yoruba men, we are inherently tolerant, it's not within our culture to be so against plurality of ways of life, this is what made us great as a people. It's beneath us, to be judgemental. I remember my great grand mother saying to me once, when I asked why Yorubas venerated women, more so than most other cultures, she said "Men may be the heads, but women are the neck, if the neck doesn't allow it, the head will go nowhere.." Synergy/Equilibrium/Balance is the Yoruba way.

@KarlinRex As a Black Woman, I'm glad you said this - the criticism is silly. Advocating for healthy hair practices is not the same as throwing women under the bus for their hairstyles. It would be nice if people would recognize the difference. Hair is not something Black people should be in divided camps over.

KarlinRex is right. If someone wears a relaxer/perm that's a rightful choice! I've worn natural and relaxed its MY BODY. I'm tired of looking at pulled back afro puffs but it's a woman's right to choose what she wants to do with her hair. Would the USA be a better place if most blondes were not box blondes? So stop acting like relaxers and weaves are the oppressors.

so glad this beautiful channel is growing

I used to just throw him off but over the past 5 years I'm really embracing history and I love it.

Black women's hair is the best, when can do anything to our hair, and SLAY!🍎🍎🍎

I am a cosmetology instructor and I want to thank you for creating this content. The beauty industry as a whole needs more information like this. Make up artists, estheticians massage therapists we are the people caring for the people, touching them and speaking life into them. If African descendant beauty providers are better educated in African beauty standards we can heal one another faster more effectively. More please more African beauty history please!

And to think I've been calling it a "pompadour" all this time. When Janelle Monae came out and rocked that particular Fulani style and it started re-trending here in the US, we should have been calling it a "wudabu" (sp. check) but instead, as usual, we like to put French names on everything. Smh.. if you look up the woman after whom the pompadour is named, it is markedly different

Delightful historical revelations about our awesome and beautiful African Hair... keep up the good work!

Excellent video very informative. I enjoy all your videos.

I enjoyed your video and I especially took note of the distinction you drew between the wigs, extensions and weaves of ancient Africans mimicking their natural hair textures and modern trends which mimic European and Asian textures. I have been re-naturalized for about 5 years now and I love it! However, I am dismayed at the few options there are for protective wigs and weaves that embrace African hair textures.

This was just beautiful!! Enjoyed every single second! ilWe need EVERY one to see this. Keep it coming!!

great video I cut my permed hair couple days ago, I hate that at first I was nervous going outside without my shoulder length hair but it actually felt liberating and maybe some body seen me outside walking and they got interest to love their natural hair like I am.

I'm so glad to have found this channel!. This video was extremely fascinating it made me really proud of my hair.

Knowing the grade helps you know how to take care of your hair. It has helped grow my hair from half inch to 7 inches after the big chop. I buy products according to my hair grade my hair loves it and is growing like crazy i will be at least 14 inches by my bday. So its good information

it isn't for black hair, and it isn't a grading scale. It's a descriptive scale, and it's for everyone. I'm a 2B, for example. That simply describes how tightly my hair curls, and what sort of products should be used on it. It is a tool to help people take care of their hair better, rather than a judgement cast on someone. Since so many people have had their traditions taken away from them, tools like this are important for helping people live healthy lives.

You are right! He did not speak on men’s hair. For example the Masai men keep their hair long!covered in oils and red mud(not sure how to call it. It’s mostly done in thin like braids and adorned with Masai jewelry..... I miss seeing them now that I am no longer in my country. It’s quite amazing when you see it in person even as a native myself. Mmmh quick thought popped in my head - on the contrary their women shave their heads.
