The obsession did not come out of nowhere, its part of the same obsession with type 3. We still want the so called good hair. Tell the truth and shame the devil.
@@valentwinee: “WE” meaning Black people in general. Not *you,* and not every single Black person on earth. Why do you think 70-85% (if not more) of Black women wear wigs, weaves, and added hair and NEVER wear their natural hair out in public? It’s not *personal.*
@@valentwinee: Because people with type 3 hair (and straighter) are *more likely* to have natural, fine, silky-straight BABY HAIR at their hairline and perimeter, i.e.: forehead, temples, sideburns, and nape, that naturally lie down flat *without* the use of edge control, gels, or brushes.
@@valentwinee YOU are slow. These women are trying to achieve an aesthetic which is prevalent among type 3 hair textures. Denial ain't changing that. Hair like Chilli from TLC and Tatiana Ali- since when have you seen natural 4c edges like theirs, you wombat.
Lol! at age 43 I just want hair. Also Lol @ my fine 4c edges, that I let do whatever the heck it wants. Lay down for 5 secs with a scarf or frizz up for 48 hours. Yeah, my edges touch my eyebrows and I have hair loss from internal conditions. Y'all young people are entertaining for my middle-aged perimenopausal behind. Wait till y'all have kids and the baby takes out your hair. All my friends who have children cut all their hair off to a TWA at least once. I already know I'm the age that a lot of women get cancer and fibroids and those conditions take your hair too...edges and all.
@@sheilamiller1064 We know they don't grow back like they did in our teens and 20s! Lol! All I do is apply leave-in conditioner and the water-based prescription from my trichologists and smooth them down with my hands and a silk or satin scarf.
I would be all for it personally but I’m going to do a video eventually about a home made relaxers trend…I’m waiting to see if TikTok is banned or not before I start reacting to RUclips videos🤎
I disagree, only because I hate people telling me what I can or can't do😂. People should have that choice to relax all or only the edges eventhough it's an unhealthy practice. If you ban one thing, then everything that's considered unhealthy, i.e. cigarettes, body washes and some shampoos should be banned due to toxic ingredients. Maybe toxic substances one INJEST should be banned, i.e., toxic food additives and practices. I personally wouldn't relax my hair, but People should educate themselves and make informed decision on all products used on their body. Personally I pray over every product purchased 😂
Do people not care that their is a lawsuit going on about relaxer causing cancer ? Y’all just go get a Dominican blow out . Your hair will be skinny bone straight . 😂😂😂 Not everyone has to look like Chilli and Tyla . I feel as though many actually do not like their hair and I totally get it . The pressure to fix the mold . Baby stand out .
girl if your edges touching your brows they not baby hairs thats a mini bang!!! stop messing w ur hairline abeg!! baby hairs are the thin wispy bits on the EDGE (!) of your hair! if you can gather enough of them in a small area that they are visibly touching your brow that is broken hair... balding for fun...
Lol! My edges touch my eyebrows. 🙈 I was born with a small forehead and edges that are one inch long. That's not my fault. The lace fronts look ridiculous on me. Lol! I'm 43 and I never laid my edges so they just stay that way and never fell out. It's a joke between my sibling and me. My edges touch my eyebrows and she has a hairline further back. She has big round eyes and I have small almond-shaped eyes. We both got out mother's hips lol! The pants and trousers do not fit!!
That’s wild 😂 I never really cared for the edges look. I just pull my hair up or back using a cream or hair butter and tie it down and whatever happens happens 😂
Your hairline is already the most fragile part of your hair, so anyone who relaxes their edges on a regular basis is signing up to have no edges in no time 😬
Well I am 2 years on my natural hair journey from being relaxed & will NEVER go back. I use ALL natural herbs as well. #relaxer2natural #2025hairgrowthJourney
I stopped pressing my 3c-4a curls, switched to deep conditioning with protein and moisture treatments, etc. and now all my baby hairs are tight, cute curls I love. We all have naturally beautiful baby hairs. ❤
I use to lay down my edges all of the time because my mom use to tell me that my hair wasn’t “ done “ when I didn’t lay down my edges. Now I wear my natural hair out without laying down my edges. The only time I’ll apply gel to my edges is for special occasions.
I never liked edge control. My skin doesn’t like oil and I break out and I hate the oily film feeling of it. Sometimes I do feel insecure about it and wonder how other girls maintain laid baby hairs everyday. Eventually I come back to my senses and leave them undone but moisturized. Even in my relaxed hair days of wrapping a silk press every night, I hated edge control
I never liked grease or flat long hair. I found out at age 42 that I have autism..so that explains it for me.The sensory feeling of grease and long hair. Long hair is a lot of work. Flat straight hair is boring. The only straight hair I really enjoyed was an asymmetrical choppy bob with two tracks for added volume. I do not want to flat iron my hair every day...or retwist it every night!! I enjoy my shoulder-length kinky twist extensions and my medium afro more. I get more compliments for those too. I like hair that looks and feels effortless and unfortunately most black hairstyles are not like that.
@@marleyhill34 I agree with the sensory thing. For me it’s the knowing that the edge control might make me break out from the oils. And then I wouldn’t know how to refresh the style the next day.
@@brg4622 I'm lucky that I don't get breakouts...I would have to cover myself in a million pimple patches to stop picking at it! I have dry flaky skin and scalp instead. Even with makeup which I love for fun creative expression......I cannot wait to get home and wash it all off and moisturise my face and breathe!! Same with wigs. So anything stiff and held in place, I can only tolerate for so long. My wash and gos are soft, frizzy, non-greasy and touchable. I never liked gel in them. I applaud the women who can put up with these extra "beautifications" but I know it's not me and I'm not forcing myself into whatever trend or standard it is. Lol!
I dunno why this is suddenly concerning. This is just an extension of "good hair' obsession. Type 1-3 hair lays more around the edges than Type 4 where the edges stick up. I saw this trends start in the 90s and it eas very modest, every so slightly slick the smallest amount of hair down, today its a curtain covering majority of wig wearers foreheads. The obsession of straight/"good hair' has manifested into looking like insane clowns, hyper exaggerating the phenotypes we worship via wigs, makeup, eyelashes. Its so bad black women look trans/dragqueens, looking like men in a wig. We are the laughingstock of the world and so brainwashed its crazy how oblivious we are to it and quick to defend it.
Her last video with the guy on shrooms, he made a few valid points about how we have to consciously undue years of programming. Many are still blind. After i broke the curse, i see how foreign weave or straight hair looks on us. Switching it up once in a while is cool but thats not what most women do.
I have been saying this for YEARS now. I'm really saddened to see Blk women's looks become a laughing stock and other races of women co-opted the Blk 'video vixen' era look from the early 2000's and are looking how we did 20 years ago. Sh's crazy. Meanwhile BW look like caricatures of themselves, like the Baps movie.
I also remember baby hair in the 80’s as a kid too. It is an obsession with having a so called “good hair texture. Also in the 90 with Chilli from TLC…Chilli is very beautiful but she is mixed. We have to learn to accept ourselves because the wigs and baby hair is looking silly. I seen people literally cutting their hair to make Baby hair around their face.
I didn't follow those trends in the 90s and I am not following them now. Not the way my brain and body are set up. It works for some people but for others....yeah it causes damage. Luckily I was raised in a black-majority country where black women wore all kinds of styles and no one dared say a thing to them. I had a male black teacher who had the audacity to try to put down our natural twists in history class....well...He got schooled that day...even by the mixed white and latino girl who had hair down to her butt...She has a mixed with black daughter now and a blue buzz cut! How are you going to be teaching about slavery and colonialism and then when we wear our hair as our ancestors did you tell us it's not professional and tidy? I advocate for all hair as long as you don't damage your scalp and hair. That is all.
I am not obsessed with baby hairs now however I do remember when I was a lot younger I did something like this which ate up my edges. I learned my lesson 😂
My stylist has young clients who want her to cut their hair to get baby hairs they can lay. She refuses. The most she’ll do is apply edge control to what you have naturally.
This is exactly why we cannot bash people for cultural appropriation when in reality we are doing the same to emulate a texture of hair that’s not even ours. We are willing to risk having cancers to change our texture. The wigs are also a facade and a caricature that depicts a texture of hair of another race other than our own. Thanks again Queen for the great knowledge you be pumping out here ❤🫶🏾
@@noonesishome You sound dumb ash. Why do ppl got to shave bald bc they want to wear wigs? I don't understand how y'all be so bothered by ppl doing what they want with their own hair. That shit is crazy and weird.
I would never do that because I actually love the look of my afro. Relaxing your edges, might as well relax your whole head, either way the chemical process is harmful 🫤
I think I'm one of the few women who has never layed her edges I've never had the curiosity or edge to do so and also I've never used a styling gel even when I was still relaxed that's about 6 years ago
Baby hair have been around since the 80s I understand it’s not for everyone but why people are judging is my real question like if it doesn’t work for you it doesn’t work but to judge others is just weird & mean spirited
Not only would I never lay grown up hairs in little ➰ across my forehead, I have locs and most definitely wouldn’t be relaxing them🥴 if I did, AND most importantly I wouldn’t be applying toxic relaxer chemicals to my scalp given what we know now about the health effects, and especially not directly on my most delicate hairs - it literally makes zero sense. These are the same women in a constant cycle of trying to grow edges back too I imagine 😑 I just wanna know the process of either growing this out or doing a touch up - because as you get new growth you’re not gonna wanna overlap too much of the already processed hair (cuz delicate af), plus that previously relaxed “baby” hair (if it hasn’t already broken off) is now needing to be blended into whatever the rest of your hair looks like - if they’re not just throwing a wig on at the end of the day like you said. It sounds like a mess after a few months or so of doing this tbh though *edit to add two points - 1. On top of relaxing it, they take hot styling tools to it, and again like you said plaster it down with all kinds of edge gel and got2B or whatever, further distressing those delicate hairs. It makes me sad cuz we all know the likely end result 2a. I keep saying delicate hairs. When j say delicate I’m thinking my own natural hairline hairs (true baby hairs lol) that once my retwist is a few days old, just naturally hang out on my forehead. They’re short, so not long enough to like style even if I wanted to….actual baby hairs lol. Long peach fuzz hairs 2b. I said “baby” hairs in quotes on purpose. Cuz we all know they pullin like 2-5 inches of hair out to make all the swoop de doo’s, and calling those baby hairs. THAT’S what I mean about the need to blend it into the rest of the hair eventually, inevitable cuz the hairs are so got dang long 🙄
It's so funny how things that weren't cool before comes back around full circle. When I was younger my mom gelled down my baby hairs because they would fluff up and ruin the hairstyle I had. Fast forward to now, I STILL have those baby hairs. My baby hairs ARE DEAD HAIR THAT WONT GROW MAN. I have no choice but to gel them down and they are not even that long. And if I dont gel them down, my bonnet will lay them down. You can't even braid mine. So perming hair for dead hair IS CRAZY YALL 😅
Interesting. My daughter asked me , What is up with one of our church leaders, who was speaking, why she had her hair plastered and shaped to frame her style. It was the old baby hair look that some people did when I was growing up. I said that some younger person must be styling her hair. Evidently my daughter must have thought it appeared strange. I just geared her away from the topic because we were in a service. Not a look I would wear, and I try to keep my hair natural pretty much, most of my life. Very rarely do I blow it dry, or hot comb it. I don’t think I have had 7 perms in my life because I saw that it weakens and damages. You look awkward to others, especially employers at times but 🤷🏽♀️.
All ima say is just because a few ppl are able to get away w/ doing wild ish doesn’t mean everyone else should do it or is doing it wrong… Also maybe she wanted the front of the lace to lay flatter since wigs flatten tf outta of coily hairlines anyway 🤷🏽♀️
I don’t even think it’s really an obsession with sleek edges or baby hair I think it’s the insecurity or having a more rounded forehead and we as women try to conceal our foreheads with the baby hair…women with more flat small shaped foreheads don’t have insecurity as often as black women who have round sometimes large foreheads. And women from other races and ethnicities like Somalian or those who tend to have large foreheads tend to use baby hair to conceal their for heads as well
Let people do what they want with they hair , if they want they’re hair to fall out and play into other textures let em , if ppl wanna wear wigs let em !! It’s not bothering nobody
@ I like this channel im subscribed but we can’t deny and act like the people in the comments don’t try and force natural hair onto them or say they look a mess , it’s not even this comment section it’s millions of other people too.
Thanks for watching and I promote coily natural hair as the beauty standard on my channel and I like to give a different perspective to the conversation but at the end of the day everyone is going to do what they want to do but atleast they can make the the best choice for them based off an informed decision 🤎🤎🤎

My baby hairs ARE DEAD HAIR THAT WONT GROW MAN. I have no choice but to gel them down and they are not even that long. And if I dont gel them down, my bonnet will lay them down. You can't even braid mine. So perming hair for dead hair IS CRAZY YALL 😅
Oh wow…and gelling them down at the perimeters is one thing but relaxing is crazy imo 🤎🤎🤎
Back with another bangher!
lol 😂 thanks for watching 🤎🤎🤎
Interesting. My daughter asked me , What is up with one of our church leaders, who was speaking, why she had her hair plastered and shaped to frame her style. It was the old baby hair look that some people did when I was growing up. I said that some younger person must be styling her hair. Evidently my daughter must have thought it appeared strange. I just geared her away from the topic because we were in a service. Not a look I would wear, and I try to keep my hair natural pretty much, most of my life. Very rarely do I blow it dry, or hot comb it. I don’t think I have had 7 perms in my life because I saw that it weakens and damages. You look awkward to others, especially employers at times but 🤷🏽♀️.
I'm in tears and straight up TEARS 😭
lol 😂
Are you SERIOUS!😮 They are really out here doing all that? #crazy
Unfortunately yes 🤦🏾♀️
Why do women who wear wigs play with the hair so much? Girl u didn't grow up it came from the same factory every other girl like u got it from.
All ima say is just because a few ppl are able to get away w/ doing wild ish doesn’t mean everyone else should do it or is doing it wrong…
Also maybe she wanted the front of the lace to lay flatter since wigs flatten tf outta of coily hairlines anyway 🤷🏽♀️
Maybe so…I could make since of it at all🤎
I don’t even think it’s really an obsession with sleek edges or baby hair I think it’s the insecurity or having a more rounded forehead and we as women try to conceal our foreheads with the baby hair…women with more flat small shaped foreheads don’t have insecurity as often as black women who have round sometimes large foreheads. And women from other races and ethnicities like Somalian or those who tend to have large foreheads tend to use baby hair to conceal their for heads as well
Great point🤎
Its weird because this is how my hair is and i was always told its because I have no edges. 😂
Oh wow 😮 well people are literally relaxing their hair to get what you have naturally 🤎🤎
#127 like 👍🏽 made
Have a wonderful 🥂🌄🌻🍾✨️🫡weekend in the NEW YEAR
🤎🤎🤎🤎
I've never laid my edges in my life I think it looks stupid. I'm of seeing baby hair/ edges laid and swirled or whatever.
Self hate
Let people do what they want with they hair , if they want they’re hair to fall out and play into other textures let em , if ppl wanna wear wigs let em !! It’s not bothering nobody
no one is forcing them to do their hair in a way that they don't like.
@ I like this channel im subscribed but we can’t deny and act like the people in the comments don’t try and force natural hair onto them or say they look a mess , it’s not even this comment section it’s millions of other people too.
Thanks for watching and I promote coily natural hair as the beauty standard on my channel and I like to give a different perspective to the conversation but at the end of the day everyone is going to do what they want to do but atleast they can make the the best choice for them based off an informed decision 🤎🤎🤎
