@xDevilsWings you tell em, shd i think the same way.AFRICA THE MOTHERLAND OF EVERYTHING.
Amazing how people are rude about black hair when will you just leave us alone. I am indian and black and yet for all I relax my hair..it’s all a matter of choice. There are hair relaxers for white and spanish people too. Look it up before you criticize one race cause deep down we all are doing things to beautify ourselves
LOL the girl is like dead hahaha
being “Black” has nothing to do with hair, what you like, what you listen to, what you like to wear…etc. Being “Black” simply means how much melanin is in your skin. And because we are all different that will also apply to different features that we have dealing with our face/hair/skin/whatever. Some people have “this”, some people have “that”. When people start to generalize, then they’re only interested in what others do/don’t have instead of focusing on the important thing: the person.
@CaligirlSofia That’s still what’s considered black. Africa is diverse and filled with different kinds of people, but that doesn’t mean it changes the perception of blackness.
@driftingdrought
lol my country is in sub sahara africa, the only reason so many african americans see blacks having features from west african is because they are from there and thats wat they have been mostly exposed too, but africans know better
@CaligirlSofia Then he was a different kind of black. Sub-saharan African black is the black I’m talking about and what most people think of when the term “black” comes up. Their hair and features are different.
@driftingdrought
thats not true, me and my cousin are 100% black african and i have naturally wavy hair and she has naturally straight hair, if u want i can send u a pic of the former president of my country that had naturally straight hair and he was 100% black
@xDevilsWings 1) OK…
2) That’s bullshit. Black people always want to imitate white features. Blacks adore white features.
3) It doesn’t matter if you’re trying to have hair like the Japanese or Spanish. Bitch, do you see them trying to have hair like black people? No, so cut the shit. You just want what you can’t have, and that’s a damn crying shame.
4) No one is talking about piercings or tattoos. This is about putting a chemical on your goddamn scalp and burning yourself. Dumbass.
@CaligirlSofia Then they aren’t completely black. Duh.
@angelheaven101
i know, but there are black women who have naturally straight and wavy hair
@CaligirlSofia but here in this video she said relaxed african american hair.
not all black ppl have hair like that, there are some black ppl w/ straight hair, curly, wavy, kinkier curls, etc. and they are all beautiful
@MYBROWNSKiNN i totlly aqree with you! that happens to me all the time. thats why iiHave to wear my hair cap in the shower and try to prevent to much humidity cause that causes to much frizz. iiM with you on that comment. iiWish my hair was more managable && easy to take care of && actually have it be straiqht all the time.
itz a lot of ignorant comments on here black people do not want hair lyk white people its thin greasy nd has to be washed everyday white people are the one catching up with us getting weaves nd calling the “extensions” black women do their on hair based on what they like or the current treand relaxers to make it more managable we’re trendy people stop hatein nd catch up peoples!!!
i hate washing my hair bc its such a hassle to get it back str8. && when it dries .. its straight at the top but the ends are REALLY puffy kinda like fro. && god forbid me gettn my hair wet n the shower, ohemgee its a mess! i hate how some ppl can wet their hair && then it dries straight. sometimes my hair pisses me off LOL
@cutiesaby18 you are an idiot.
wot the fuck has that got 2 wiv anything it’s not ur problem if thier hair is greasy u don’t know nothing about us or how we do or treat our hair so just fuck the hell up and treat ur kind of hair hte way u want 2 treat it.
tell us what shampoo u used dayuuuum!
Maesar277 My God, I was thinking just like you! You took the words out of my mind!
Oh why why why EXTREME, why are you so hateful? Youtube is not for placing insults.Have black people hurt you that much???
I agree.All of this person’s videos are worthless.That’s why I don’t watch them anymore.
black ppl hair looks greasy because of the products we put in our hair. Our hair texture requires oils plus we can’t wash it everyday like Whites do. So that’s why our hair looks greasy.
kookie2100i, I am white and my hair is naturally straight but it’s kind of thick; therefore, i don’t NEED to wash it everyday because it doesn’t get oily or greasy easily but i do anyway just because i would just FEEL disgusting knowing that i didn’t wash it that day. Also, i go to the gym everyday so that would be all the more gross. lol
Trust me, i see people with african american type of hair either at the gym or just out and their hair looks greasy and oily as hell.
there is no such thing as “African hair”. african americans have different hair textures than other african americans. just like whites have differen hair than other whites. its TRUE. look it up.
