african women aren’t special 😭 we know not to

Well ...i don't know what im doing wrong or probably my hair porosity but I use dax and its just causes massive build up on my scalp and my hair...its war on washdays ,gotta scratch the gunk on my scalp and the hair. Well,basically I'm not a fan.Trying to go back to my shea butter days.

Water and glycerin mix + grease is why I was able to surpass my growth plateau. I was already protective styling for years, but I was struggling with hydration, single strand knots and split ends (i have high porosity hair). Now I love my hair again. Nothing seals like grease.

For me it's a simple as "if i wouldn't rub it on my face I'm not finna rub it on my scalp"🤷🏿 HOWEVER coating the ends is valid and permitted

The message was perfect!

I love this young lady where is her page?❤ thank you for posting

Look… to each their own. To say someone is dumb because THEY decide to wear a frontal? Is dumb. wtf lol. I love my natural hair and wearing frontals. I like trying many styles and colors. My CHOICE. That doesn’t remotely make my intelligence levels. Lawd have mercy. Plus, I know plenty of women who may have AGED and wear wigs as they lost their hair, or health reasons and etc. damnnn let them do them. As much as you DO YOU. These MEN ya compete for.. don’t give a damn what you wear. Watch what they are liking and dating. Natural and non. Baby… smh. Just creativity and choice.

When I went natural 10 years ago, I just used oils as a sealant and my hair was constantly dry. After 3 years of that, I started using hair grease and used it for years…my hair loved it. Fast forward to 2023, I started using Shea butter instead, trying to use more natural products. My hair started shedding and I lost a significant amount of hair because it took me months to figure out it was caused by the Shea butter! Now I’m back to using hair grease, specifically Sulfur 8, Dax, Blue Magic and Virgin Hair Fertilizer. My hair is thriving again! Grease has never done me wrong, I’m never giving it up again! 😅

I thought it was comedic 😂 I didn’t think it was coercion. The wigs do look very ridiculous 😂

LACE FRONTALS ARE STILL NEW TO ME. I've BEEN DOING HAIR SINCE THE 60S I USED TO USE PEOPLE OWN HAIR EDGES WITH WIGS AND IT LOOKED SO MUCH BETTTER. LACE WIGS ARE FOR MOVIES. If YOU GET A WEAVE, USE YOUR OWN HAIR LINE LIKE WE DID 15 YEARS AGO IT LOOKS SO MUCH BETTER. Don't GET MAD AT BLACK FOLKS, MY SISTERS WERE NOT ALLOWED TO GO OUTSIDE WITH OUT THEIR HAIR PRESSED AND THAT CAME FROM OUR AUNTS And GRANDMOTHERS THATS HOW WE WERE RAISED AND IS PART OF TRADITIONAL BLACK CULTURE. YOU DONT HAVE TO RELAX YOUR HAIR IT CAN BE PRESSED AND HOT CURLED AND THAT LOOKS BETTER THAN A RELAXER!

I figured I didn't properly articulate the part about grease feeding the fungus that causes dandruff... someone just pointed that out. In all,just stay away from grease if you experience dandruff,it can worsen it. 💯

I never really used hair grease like that. The smell of Sulphur 8 used to make me feel sick as a child. So, growing up and finding hair independence, i stayed away from anything grease. Tried Blue Magic and the indian hemp one as an adult, and im 100% sure it was in my mind, but I couldn't shake that generator/petrol smell😂

Can I comment or are we still fighting over Chidi? 🤣🙊

I haven't tried grease as an adult, but I’m not against the idea. I'm really pleased with The Doux’s Dear Mama. My hair stays moisturized for the week, and the ingredients rinse easily from my hair, so I can use more moisturizing shampoos.

Beautiful ❤️

I will never ever give up hair grease, anybody can say what they want abeg. 😂😂

Never skip an Esther’s upload ❤

This is important information for anyone to keep in mind. Thank you for sharing this! ❤

What head scarf / headband are you wearing I’ve been looking for one like that 😭 also great content per usual :)

What’s that comb called? The short brown one in the beginning?

Yes, condescending and immature delivery. I was happy when lace fronts came out. It's not that I don't like my hair. I like being able to change to straight hair without ruining my own hair. They helped me to grow my hair out. I never had nice edges so even when straight my short beady edges were not. I received negative comments about my 4c hair my entire life from family, friends, schoolmates and in dating. I put on a wig and people ask what country I am from. In my natural hair, there is no question I am of African descent! I wish things were not this way

The problem is this sensitive generation. She is right and it does look ridiculous. Even when it goes to God people are sensitive and want God but want sin toi become all the want to look at is that God looks at the heart and loves you as you are but forget he doesnt want tou to coem and stay as you are

Frontals always look like helmets, even the most expensive ones. Just wear your hair out. A majority of women aren't going through hairloss, those that are absolutely should wear wigs if that makes them feel better. If you have a full head of hair irrespective of length, just wear your hair out

I love closure wigs that I take off at the end of the day… what I also can’t stand are the glued down wigs. My goodness I feel like I’m wearing a tight swimming cap😭😭

They’re dumb to you but not to us. Mind your business grown people don’t need your opinion. African from Africa all of you women need to stop bleaching your skin.

I will never understand worrying about what another woman is wearing . Yikes this is pathetic

Her hair looks great so that’s why she’s creditable.

Some black Africans do not realize that they're being weaponized against black Americans by some of these white ppl😬😬😬

I'm just gonna be random and just mentioned that the term of, "cultures are meant to be shared", is weird to me. Sharing conveys that there should be consent, no? With that said, it should be worded as something such as, "it's nice for cultures to be shared". The original seemingly condones the taking of something without respecting it or it's people. Or gaslighting one to feel guilty for not carlessly sharing...

Because debates like these often involve external exchanges of internalization, I find it important to emphasize the value of empathy and understanding. People live vastly different lives, but could be rooming right next to each other. Battle your frame of mind, challenge your ways of thinking, expand your point of view. Without making space to discussed nuanced topics like this, who would be interested in entertaining another's comment vs. making the comment. Insults aren't a necessity, challenges are. There is peace to be found in acceptance, and there is acceptance to be found in self love. But what you can't see, you can't internalize. The media (amongst many other things) has put so much hatred, division, and confusion in the face of our communities. Because in a country like America, the dollar is what makes the effort and nothing's more profitable than capitalizing off of humanity. I can't blame people for not knowing, education and empowerment are tools to make a better life for yourself. But I do condemn ignorance, even if I myself become ignorant, it means my ego got too big and I need to practice humility. I hope videos like these continue to inspire more discussions, that provide a number of different perspectives, loved it!

I feel like her delivery was fine. Everyone is so sensitive these days. She was keeping it very mild and nice if you ask me. So many women are walking around here in denial about their disdain for their hair and walk around looking like literal freaks with these lace wigs that look horrific like something out a horror movie with the lace wigs. And even when you try and say that in a nice way you are met with the defensive denial talking points. So if she wants to talk about it that way I think it’s fine.if you feel offended then don’t listen and keep walking around looking like a freak. That’s just how I feel.

No, I love her delivery. Wig warriors can be very condescending and rude, it’s clear she has been insulted by them before.

Babe, why does one have to be forced to wear the hair that grows out of their scalp? How can a person be “forced” or “coerced” to do what their hair does naturally? People are born natural, what do you “everyone should go natural in their own time?”, they were born that way. Idk why a person has to be convinced to wear the hair that grows out of their head. People had to be coerced to NOT wear their real hair for so long that people get offended when they say your real hair is better 😂

It’s disingenuous to compare lipstick to gluing someone else’s hair onto your forehead. Like come on 😂 And why can’t people wear wigs that match their real hair texture?

She sounds more insecure then the frontal wearer because if you have to attack someone looks, intelligence,character just in general to try and make a point you automatically lose and your point is invalid

Okay but what about hair loss?!?? Why aren't people leaving grace for women who literally are balding due to the stress we have to deal with in life AND ALSO colonised hair care that cause people to train us to damage our hair as children. In my case, a racist person who wasn't trained to do 4c hair burned me so badly my hair scalp never recovered. Hair often doesn't grow back. What is this shaming and blaming going on?

I love my natural hair, but I will use wigs (glueless because I love my natural baby hair) for when I want to add color (I don't want to damage mine), or recently I plan to retain length using Chebe the original way and use a natural wig as a variety option to my turban. However, I usually wear my natural hair and feel most confident in it. Her delivery was terrible. Not everyone that wears a wig doesn't love their natural hair. Thank you for your commentary!

This is a great conversation

I'll just drop my two cents: As someone with AA (Alopecia Areata), i've recently started experimenting with pop on wigs and lace fronts to gain some confidence back after so much hair shed. I had pretty much a full head of hair three months ago, and wash n gos and mini twists were my favorite styles. I was growing my hair out with these styles and was on my way to achieving bra strap length until...AA hit me like a truck. I know lace fronts don't look real, but right now, I don't know how else to cope. I'm hoping I can have some growth by spring or summer. In the meantime, I'm trying to put the least amount of stress on my hair as possible.

I like the way you analyze the issue ❤😊

Women who expect everyone to be 'natural' are the kind who would force women into a burka next. People wear their hair in unique ways to have a personal identity, so that people can tell who they are in a crowd. There is nothing wrong with shining as an individual, but it is a sickness when people are so jealous that they want to take that away from everyone.

You missed the point of the video. She was not comparing frontal and natural hair. She was comparing frontal and every other hairstyle. What is stupid about a frontal is the fact that you put so much work to make it look like it’s growing from your scalp but we can still see it doesn’t. Al hairstyles are fine, including weaves, braids, etc. frontals are weird. That’s all.

What is she is saying makes sense but no one will like to hear it. It is silly we are the only race that will wear someone else’s hair, but on top of that why do women feel the need to make it look “unclockable” when we all see the grid. I’ve seen the video and the lady wears wigs because she is an actress and people won’t hire her with natural hair. In my opinion her issue is this need to compete on who has the best wig, whose own looks more natural meanwhile you sacrifice your own hair and we all know that you are wearing a wig. So I agree with both of you but I don’t think her method is helpful.

Essie, this is so random, but everytime I see your name, I think "Mu onwem bu Ezi Jehova"😅😁 Love your name and your pretty hair❤

It’s so ugly :( and it looks like a helmet ! 😭. Never liked it. Tried it one time removed it that same day. Black women have hair blindness. We need to know what looks good and if it doesn’t look natural 9.9 times out of 10 it looks terrible
