Exactly. I just wrote that same thing. I'm white and think the same but in the blk community the colorism thing is out of control and there is also " hairrism"...don't know what else you'd call it so... 😁😁😁
They are all beautiful. ...And it's good for a person to appreciate of who they are..Long or short hair they are all beautiful. .The society is always the problem..Dictating what beauty suppose to look like..You need to be slim to look beautiful you need to have long hair to look beautiful you need to be white to be beautiful. ..When you are dark you are consider ugly..That brain watching of white supremacy it's what affecting pple of colors upto now..The only way this can change is for parents to start educating their children of how to love themselves ..Because beauty is of diversity. ...It has no specific definition. .What's more essential is that from the heart..❤
My mother relaxed my hair for the first time when I was 8. I'm not mad at her; I think may have internalized the Eurocentric ideas about beauty as much as any other black woman (it took me til last year to finally decide to go natural).
My Aunty did that to my little cousin. Now her hair texture is sooo hard. She has no hair sound her head and at the back. Her hairs weak, doesn't grow much. I'm never gonna do that
Okay, if this video was uploaded in 2009, that would mean that these young girls interviewed are now in their pre-teens and tweens. I would love to hear about how they view their hair now.
Honestly I'm 14 right now and I stop getting perms last year. My mom was supportive about it but was heavily critical about the lack of instant curls and how it looked. After a few months and some new growth she started actually buying and using some of the products I use for my own hair. It kinda spawned off a little jealousy of curls since I've never seen them on the east side. Once I moved to the west side I saw many people embracing curls. I kinda have the mindset of if I take good care of it I'll have the luscious long hair of curls that I really want.
seriously!! if people want to wear wigs because they like it, then hey, all the power to them. but i don't think children should feel like they NEED to.
I'm confused.... the black girl with the mixed latina daughter... that little girls hair is still very coarse and she honestly has a regular "black hair texture"... she'll be in for a rude awaking when she gets older and ppl tell her that... it's sad!
Because many people are still very ignorant to this day and don't understand that Latino is a culture, not a race. The man she married could be black but shares the Latin American culture. If you go to the Dominican Republic or Puerto Rico you will find many black people darker than some who live in the United States and with very coarse hair.
Actually I'd say her hair is looser textured, like a 3b/3c. Her mom probably just doesn't know how to style to get rid of the frizz, but her hair type is not typical "black hair texture." Not that that makes it better in anyway, just different.
Melodico are you that stupid? She didn’t find herself a black Dominican man with coarse hair. A baby born half African American and half black domician would come out with the same hair as her. She specifically said she wanted a baby with hair that was not coarse. So it’s pretty obvious she found a Latino man who was either white or tan complexion who didn’t have coarse hair so that her baby would come out mixed.
"If relaxers were harmful then they wouldn't make it for young kids" LMAO cause the media and the hair industry and "the system" they got your back huh? Just lookin' out for you and your safety loool
Seriously! I honestly laughed out loud when she said that. You can't even trust the food that's sold and the water we drink. Ask the residents of Flint Michigan if the government cared about their welfare 🙄
The little girl with the pony tails and the barrets ... her mother was smart enough not to perm her kid's hair. Plus the little girl looks like she has healthy kinky hair w/o the chemicals. :-)
As I white woman I will say this.. When did black women feel like all women needed to look the same, have the same hair?? In the seventies black women were sooooo beautiful!! I mean those were strong confident women. If you are black and you have "white" hair and you feel better having that hair.. How in hell are you going to look at your beautiful daughter and tell her that her natural hair is beautiful when you don't think your natural hair is??? No wonder these girls feel this way. Every culture has differences and we should embrace those. Sometimes I don't think black women know how beautiful they are... And FYI... We feel the same way about your skin!! White women CANT have smooth flawless tan skin naturally so we kill ourselves trying to get it from the sun and end up looking like a brown paper bag!
This isn't something that black women just decided over night, this hatred of hair texture and natural features has been centuries in the making. Ever since the first european ships arrived in Africa, black people's features were ridiculed to a point where conformity was needed just to survive in the world. and this idea that black people shouldn't be proud of their features still exists, it may not be said out loud anymore but who do you see on the covers of magazines, as leading women in movies, even really famous black celebrities are usually lighter with more eurocentric features; think beyonce. but I agree, black women are beautiful, and I feel that they are beginning to really embrace that natural beauty.
You don't speak for your whole race obviously and it comes from years of telling us we are nappy headed and lighter skin is better and the lighter your skin is the prettier you are and that natural hair is nasty and ugly and poor that's what it comes from maybe you should google black history it is a struggle we were told we were ugly because white people thought we were to exotic looking but their men were having sex with our women and making mixed babies
Brandy wine Brandy wine you are absolutely right. But I do have to lay down a little bit of truth to your perspective. I went to two universities, both of them predominantly white. The first one was in Western Maryland so many of the men there were white and were accustomed to girls that were comely and natural. These girls liked to hunt, go camping, farming, rode horses, and the like. So they were into those more "home-on-the-range" kind of girls. They weren't accustomed to black girls AT. ALL. But then I went to school in Baltimore and this is when I started feeling self-conscious about my hair. My school attracted students from states like New York, New Jersey, California, Massachusetts, and all the states where the hot and tanned girls were from. So their hair would be SO shiny and long and bouncy with different interwoven colors and so much moisture. Everyone should be in school to learn but when you're trying to date somebody and you're into the swirl you just want to say "HEY!! LOOK AT ME!! I'M INTERESTED!!!" I love my black hair, I do. But sometimes when you look at white hair you just want to just see what it's like to not have to have a nightly regime of spraying, wrapping, rolling, twisting, and plaiting your hair. It just looks really gorgeous. White people are the true colored people. Eyes that come in shades and change colors and hair that could be blonde at birth but then brown as a teenager. MOST Black people have black hair and brown eyes. Black hair and brown eyes. Hold on!! BROWN HAIR....and brown eyes. While we do love our hair and skin it would just be nice to have a different color/texture of hair once in a while.
I think my comment was misread and taken as a negative comment. I think black hair is beautiful. All I was saying is that going to this time and cost of wearing fake hair doesn't make since to me since since natural hair is so much more attractive. Geez, has it got to the point where there are so many hateful comments on you tube that everyone must take every comment as hateful and go on the attack with name calling? I think the downfall of society is being able to hide behind a screen and be assholes to other people ... An the same people would never do this in person. I'm sorry you all took this as bad but let me make myself crystal clear... I would never comment something bad about ANY woman black or white because women should lift each other up instead of tear them down.and that's all I'm gonna say!
+Brandy wine I understand what you mean. Awesome message. You are 100% right. Would I say you are the best messenger? Not exactly. Considering the fact that this self-hate was imposed by white people. This self-hate is created out of the dehumanizing of black people by whites. This happened over centuries and that slave mindset has been passed on as well. Maybe your tone made it sound like you were talking down. I know that wasn't your intention though.
Kalaysia absolutley broke my heart. I wish she knew how beautiful and gorgeous her long, luscious hair is, and that those terrible kids at her school are incredibly jealous of her. She is a beautiful little girl and I pray that one day she believes it. It's depressing how this is what our stunning children feel about themselves.
All of the girls have beautiful hair but because of the parent's ignorance, they believe their hair is bad I love the girl with the long hair and it disheartens me that a girl with such beautiful hair would want to cut it
That mom at the end said, "If it wasn't [healthy], they wouldn't make it for little kids." ...Um..."they" make cigarettes, cigarettes aren't healthy... Fact check, dude... Or just, you know, accept when you're wrong.
I got my first relaxer at 3 years old too. My last relaxer was Jan 2020 at 33. I transitioned to natural and did the big chop a month ago. I cried because I didn't realize how gorgeous and curly my natural hair was because I had never seen it that way. Never too late for a change I guess lol.
I'm white, and when I was the age of those little girls, I was SO JEALOUS of the little black girls in my class! I wanted afro puffs and the little braids with beads and barettes on the ends SO BADLY. I begged my mother to style my super straight, blonde, thin, white-girl hair like that. Finally, my favorite aunt actually gave me cornrows. It lasted all of one day, but I LOVED it, ha ha. In high school, I really wanted an afro. Actually, I wore an afro wig once for a party, and it really does suit me, lol. I love natural black hair!
what’s your point? just because you felt self conscious of your hair around black people means nothing. this all started because of white people and white supremacy, of discrimination in the workplace if you have your natural hair, even during the slave trade white slave owners did a lot of things to their slaves to make them perceive more white. the black panthers in the 70s literally talked about hair discrimination, and how it takes alot of them for them to wear their natural hair because not only were they ridiculed, but bigots also subjected them to violence
The one that breaks my heart the most is the little girl with the really long hair. I hurt for her because her mother is trying to teach her that she's beautiful as she is, yet she has to endure ridicule for her hair at school, which is place where children should be safe and comfortable. This is not just a "mom tell your girl that she's beautiful" thing, it's societal. It makes me sick how some people love to claim their individuality or even novelty but attack others for being different from them in the same breath. My heart breaks for all of these babies who have been taught to hate themselves because they don't look like someone else.
But the little girls' mom with the long hair sounded ignorant when she said that her daughters hair is so good like wtf. And the clown who said she doesn't date black guys sounds dumb af, because she doesn't want to have kids with nappy hair!!! FOH
Why do u have to call someone dumb. She isn't dumb she grew up in that area is insecure but not dumb. Dumb is not being able to identify the difference between hurt and...nevermind
I think that the little girl with the long hair is absolutely beautiful her hair is gorgeous. When I was her age I had hair her length and kids always wanted to touch it. Everyone did but my mother would comb it and put it into a ponytail braid I don't see why her mother won't do the same. And another thing, the white mom is just lazy. She is not teaching her daughter to love her hair and isn't doing right by her child by not learning to deal with her hair. Her daughter will grow up to believe that her hair isn't beautiful
True that , I agree 100% with everything you said Kalaysia truly is beautiful. and tbh I think Malia is "something else" and she gets it from her mother. Her mom decided at 11 to have a baby outside of her race just so her child can have "pretty hair" smh...
For the woman who decided to have a baby outside of her race so that her daughter could have better hair, it didn't work lol her daughter's hair is definitely very coarse and nappy looking. It's not that long either. I'm half Latina and I had long, very soft natural hair at that age down my back (and I didn't care). Not trying to bash the child, but what the mother did was pure ignorance.
This made me cry, I am biracial (filipino and black), and I have curly frizzy hair (a mix of 3a and 3b). My curls are big and bra length. I know exactly how these kids feel though, i used to cry everyday about my hair wondering why my naturally straight hair friends have such beautiful hair, and I was left with this crap on my head. I try very very hard every day to take care of my hair and embrace it. It's getting better everyday though, and I've stopped straightening it.
These parents disgust me. What's the problem with a beautiful afro? They're destroying their childrens hair. I'm cutting of my relaxed hair because I don't like relaxed hair. I've never likes relaxed hair. I'd rather have 'nappy' natural hair than unatural relaxed hair anyday.
I HATE that so many black women are teaching their children from such a young age, that they aren't good enough the way they are! I don't care if it takes 4 hours to do her hair. I will tell my daughter every single day that she is beautiful just the way she is while I'm combing through her kinky/coily hair, rather than slap a perm in it and have her grow up hating herself.
I got my first relaxer when I was 5/6 (which burned my scalp badly) as my father (who is black) said to my mom (who is white) that my hair wasn't 'good' enough and that it embarrassed him in front of his relatives/other black people. As I got older I became obsessed with straight hair as I lived in a white community and didnt want to be teased by other people. It got to a point where my bangs became so brittle/damaged that the hair fell out. I was 11 and had had enough and so went natural. Now I've been natural for 3 years and am never going back.
Omg, I used to cry and be in so much pain when my mum used to brush my hair, it knots and curls as soon as you finished washing it and in the mornings!! Memories 0_0
question why would the she put a relaxer in her 3 year old hair like thats definitely not healthy. i got my first relaxer when i was 14 which is something i regret doing because it caused a lot damage in my hair and for the past 3 years ive been going natural and im really started to love it.
Looking back at this, I think the white mom's daughter has type 4 hair. I didn't know mixed people could have type 4 hair until Joy-el and Doja Cat. She wouldn't relax it and put weave in it if her daughter's hair type was 3 or below.
my daughter is 9. and I'm so happy she doesn't think this way. Today she asked to wear her hair in a big fro. I will continue to teach her to love her hair and her skin. it's very important that we teach self esteem at a young age.
I am a cosmetologist, this is really heart breaking and it is more of a reflection I think either on the parents or society. These beautiful babies of all hues, already don't like themselves......
+ConservativeAnthem Right??? No child speaks like that unless they were taught. Those are words that she most likely overheard coming from her mother's mouth.
I think they should have interviewed the children separately. It seemed like they were influencing each other. That 5 year old said she liked her hair because it is long and soft, but by the end of the interview she was saying she thinks that "nappy haired" ppl look lower class. (.-.)
I had the opposite response when I wore my curly hair out for the first time at school. I have kinky-curly hair. I got so many compliments about it. I use to hate my curly hair, but now I embrace it and cherish it because no one else in the world has my texture. Accepting your real texture is truly a journey of self discovery
I got my hair relaxed when I was 4 or 5 and I had to have 2 because my hair went to my butt... I hated it my mom wouldn't let me go natural so when I was 18 i went natural and later cut it all off now my hair is healthier and stronger and i love my kinky curly hair..... i mean black people are the only race with hair like that why hide from it just embrace it...
the 5 year old with the super long hair broke my heart,I loved her pic with the natural hair, the kids at school were just hating,she beautiful hair,and every race has different textures,and qualities that are unique,people just have to learn to embrace them
Wooow...did she really just say "if it wasn't healthy, then they wouldn't make it [relaxers] for little kids"...ummm cigarettes aren't healthy but are constantly getting sold, making millions of dollars a year. Pure ignorance.
I don't understand why she didn't cut that little girl's hair. It would grow back! I'm NOT saying relax it or shave her bald! If she's getting teased because of the length then help her out by cutting it. That white mother contradicted herself. She relaxes that baby's hair because it's too thick but then adds weave to make it thicker. Um...what?
People cut their hair everyday and it's normal. Bleaching your skin is not and can cause serious health issues. Hair length is not permanent. She could have cut it into a cute style, and made that little girl feel confident. They were PULLING OUT chunks of this little girls hair. It's wrong to NOT cut it.
Flo Guillory when people cut their hair its usually NOT because they are a little girl being bullied. cutting her hair is ridiculous. These are little kids, they could just as easily start teasing her the next day about her new "cute style". PULLING OUT chunks of her hair is physical assault and should be dealt with the parents, school officials, and (if needed) local law authorities. cutting her hair is not solving anything.
As I child I wasn't told that if you had nappy hair it was bad. Even when my mother relaxed it. I wasn't told anything negative. I was literally oblivious and then continued to do it through adulthood until last year when I had far too much damage and decided to go natural, but I transitioned to it. So sad that the little girls feel that way. my mother relaxed my hair because I had thick curly and course hair and my mom didn't have time in the morning to not only do my hair but also my sister's. My sister's hair wasn't as thick as mine. Funny enough, I never cried when my mom did my hair. She would just say, "Ooo sorry, bare with me". "You still with me"? "We're almost there".
Y'all know relaxer is sodium hydroxide right... That shit eats through flesh and metal in minutes why would you put in on your hair. I come from a diverse background and I love it when my cousins and aunts have they're natural hair, it's not cheap or low class its beautiful. No one should make you feel ugly because your hair isn't their idea of beauty.
Still makes me sad to this day, but I'm happy more women are starting to praise their daughters and their own hair. From the curliest to the kinkiest of hair, our hair is very much beautiful, and it's one of a kind.
The big picture is WHY she wants the haircut...she wants it becuz the other kids hate it.She would be allowing her child to give in and let other people dictate how she is supposed to look..which may apply to her later in life. She could put in a bun to keep the kids out of her hair.
I remember in the 3rd grade my hair was down to but crack and the white and Asian girls would say things like “get your big hair out of my face” my crush once said “your hair is nappy though” which a girl I’ve never talked to stood up for me. I’m Mexican Black White and West Native. My mom gave me a big trim around the time I started experiencing with hot tools. So my hair was more fried up until I was 16. That’s when I started staying in the house often to let my hair be curly for bits at a time. I’ve straightened my hair so much that I’ve never got to work with my curly hair, is don’t know what custards or gels to use. I regained its health to under my boobs, then I got a job around 20 and didn’t go to work with it curly not even once and now it’s back to being fried. I’m so disappointed in myself, I guess i like the long curly look, when it was curly it looked short, had I let it grow more it would be super long by now.
i'm so happy this is still on youtube! i remember watching this with my auntie at her house and we couldn't fathom how beautiful these babies and their hair were! just in awe! and i wanted to know how they were doing today! they are such dolllllssss! i know what it's like to be made fun of for your hair. if anyone were to ask me to show them pics of me in my younger years of age 3-8 you'd probably notice i had nothing but weave really. kiddie ponytails, twisties, swoops, lol
"You don't want to make the mistake of falling in love with a Black man and have some kinky haired babies"Love the highly "ironic" tone saying that to that woman, when a few years later she would chose a Scandinavian man(you can't get whiter than that) to be the father of her child!!! The hypocrisy means nothing to that woman!
Btw I've been dying my hair since 8! I've been every natural and un-natural color you could think of! My hair's never fallen out or became patchy or thinned! I'm 27 now and I will continue to dye my hair whenever I please!
First of of black peoples hair is the best It is so versatile we can straightening relax it braid it it’s curly naturally their so many different hair styles we can do
This is not only a problem for african American women, but Dominican americans as well. Ninety percent of dominican Americans are of African decent. You're brainwashed at a young age to go to the salon once a week or every two weeks. I'm just tired living in a culture like this. NAPPY IS BEAUTIFUL.
I'am American-Latin decent my hair is very thick and dark I did that relaxer madness it literally damage the texture of the crown of my head.Till this day I can feel the difference in the texture of my hair.
Fast forward to 2013 and now we see more women going natural. I didn't know how to take care of my permed hair growing up and as a young adult. As a result my hair never reached past neck length. I didn't start loving my hair until I went back to my natural roots. I get more compliments now, mainly from white women, who say they wish their hair was versatile like mine. When I have daughters I plan to teach them to love whatever texture grows out of their scalp despite what others say.
The way Shante talks about relationships is really irritating. She makes it sound like she can't think about men without thinking about future children. There is more to a relationship than just having kids! Dating a black man does not automatically mean having a "nappy-haired" child.
I agree 100% many black women fail to realize that and men too. Like my cousin is black and white but her hair is not the typical biracial hair. Her hair is very long(she is a beautician) but it is like an afro if she were to go natural. So she relaxes it. But it is to her back. But i have 2 parents that are mixed but black is my dominate gene. But my hair is very curly(3c or biracial hair)
This is just sad I'm 14 and I have a afro and I'm proud of it I'm not going to let some ones opinion of my hair change how I feel about it and just because I have a fro don't mean I'm lower class or my hair is bad
If you’re broken, please don’t have kids until you’ve sought professional help... don’t pass on your baggage to your innocent kids. And I’m referring to all types of baggage in general
I don't get the white mom's excuse that doing her kid's hair takes too long. I have kinky hair, as does my mom, and we just put ours in ponytails. Seriously, it's the brushing that takes the most time, and that takes only five minutes at most. Is it a West Coast thing (I live in SoCal) to have less artsy styles like afros and ponytails? My East Coast family members in the Carolinas seem to be a lot more serious about the styling of their hair.
This is why I love Tommy Sotomayor. He always calls these black women out on their bs. This mess here is so sad. Smh. I am glad that we are in a time right now where black girls are starting to appreciate their real hair and their natural hair. All that self hate is from the older generation that they passed down to their kids. But today, black girls are actually loving the real hair they were born with. Yes, a lot of black women and girls still wear weaves, but it's because of ignorance like these ladies here.
hey I just wanted to pop in and point out that the "good vs bad hair" issue is not only the African-American community. My Dominican family has always pressured me into getting my hair relaxed and telling me that I had bad hair. It's common with a lot of people of colour.
My hair was really long, down to my waist a month ago and everyone loved it, especially when i straightened or leave curly. But i decided i needed a change, so i cut it where my shoulders are and i donated it. And i love my new hair. So easy to manage and im glad i donated it instead of letting it go to the trash.
omg its soooo sad for me to watch this.... I have huge curly hair and I love it I think that curly hair is the most beautiful hair ... these girls being ashamed of it .., its just sad
The white mom needs to just take her daughter to get her hair washed and have someone put a cute cornrow style in it every few weeks. This little girl doesn't need weave tracks sewn in her head. Absolutely ridiculous
unfortunately black guys have that issue too, mostly black women judge us on our hair as well if its kinky, wavy or straight...we judge our own race more than any other race does to us
I just wanted to thank everyone for this series. I found it while doing research on what to expect when I(hopefully) adopt this adorable half black girl. This helps me so much.
I don't understand why that mom doesn't want to just cut that kids hair? It's not a big deal, it will grow back. Cause I'm sure it's annoying for a little kid who just wants to play to have hair all over the place.
I think its more philosophical than anything else, trying to teach her daughter that all hair is beautiful, she is beautiful. Everyone different in their own way, she doesnt have to be like everyone else.
I cant believe the at 3:49. I was thinking that her daughter didn't even know what lower class was and was told that by the producers. But the sad truth is that she learnt that right from her mother
I agree! My mother chemically relaxed my hair when I was 7 because she got tired of trying to comb and style my natural hair. My aunt chemically relaxed my cousins hair when they were only 2 years old.
Good hair is healthy hair. The end.
Exactly. I just wrote that same thing. I'm white and think the same but in the blk community the colorism thing is out of control and there is also " hairrism"...don't know what else you'd call it so... 😁😁😁
Wrong
Ya Ma ma what do you mean “wrong”? They’re right. Good hair is healthy hair.
Exactly ... any hair that is healthy is good hair , if I ain’t healthy then u got bad hair
@@yamama3089Well then what is good hair to you?
the girl with long hair looks soo pretty the others bully her because they are jealous

hell yeah! I wish I had even a quarter of the amount of the hair that she has
Her mom need to toughen up & teach her daughter she is beautiful & ppl will be ugly & rude towards her because they gelous!
They are all beautiful. ...And it's good for a person to appreciate of who they are..Long or short hair they are all beautiful. .The society is always the problem..Dictating what beauty suppose to look like..You need to be slim to look beautiful you need to have long hair to look beautiful you need to be white to be beautiful. ..When you are dark you are consider ugly..That brain watching of white supremacy it's what affecting pple of colors upto now..The only way this can change is for parents to start educating their children of how to love themselves ..Because beauty is of diversity. ...It has no specific definition. .What's more essential is that from the heart..❤
Not sure why that girl with long hair was part of this episode, didn’t seem relevant at all to the discussion of nappy hair
Relaxing a 3 year olds hair is crazy
My mother relaxed my hair for the first time when I was 8. I'm not mad at her; I think may have internalized the Eurocentric ideas about beauty as much as any other black woman (it took me til last year to finally decide to go natural).
My Aunty did that to my little cousin. Now her hair texture is sooo hard. She has no hair sound her head and at the back. Her hairs weak, doesn't grow much. I'm never gonna do that
@@AFRIQUIKA1 That's so sad! :-( I would resent my mother for that.
Disgusting. And she’s just ruining her hair
This was me 😢
The mother who refused to marry a black man because of how her child's hair would come out really worries me...that's just sad.
Caroline F At least she's honest.Many go around wearing Weaves saying it's too protect their own hair...& other bull crap.
sadly, that's how many black women think, and it's sad.
this is selfhate at its finest.
That mindset is very common within the black community. Black men and women
@@lolad6083 thats sick.
Okay, if this video was uploaded in 2009, that would mean that these young girls interviewed are now in their pre-teens and tweens. I would love to hear about how they view their hair now.
theyre teens or adults now
Honestly I'm 14 right now and I stop getting perms last year. My mom was supportive about it but was heavily critical about the lack of instant curls and how it looked. After a few months and some new growth she started actually buying and using some of the products I use for my own hair. It kinda spawned off a little jealousy of curls since I've never seen them on the east side. Once I moved to the west side I saw many people embracing curls. I kinda have the mindset of if I take good care of it I'll have the luscious long hair of curls that I really want.
All these girls are over 18 now
@@johnindigo5477 These girls in their 20's now.
man i cried when that girl said feels prettier when she puts on the hannah montana wig
seriously!! if people want to wear wigs because they like it, then hey, all the power to them. but i don't think children should feel like they NEED to.
Especially because the wig looked a damn mess
thats my sister shes 18 now
why does she think Latino means non black? anyone can be latino. They just have to be from Latin America lol
Kanakalala🌺 Black latinos have african origins not the original latinos, she was talking about nonblack latinos
Diana Chin well those women are brainwashed asf sis, and ask your boyfriend this.
would he still love you if you had kinky hair??
Latino is different from Hispanic. People just don't know the difference
Zanillani latinos are not black
The Egyptian God Bastet the original Latinos are African as the white Latinos came after
If her life is THAT busy where she can't make time to put 2 ponytails in her child's hair, maybe she shouldn't have had a child
she's too busy to do her child's hair but she's not too busy to put a perm in it.smh
Well white moms always act like they are so much busier than anyone else.
Alex J My single father use to do my hair EVERY SINGLE DAY with no complaints.
Especially not a child of color. It's really unfair on that child!
All of u need to not attack her "as a white mom" cause TOO MANY BLACK BLACKITY BLACK BLACK MOMS claim the same reason
I'm confused.... the black girl with the mixed latina daughter... that little girls hair is still very coarse and she honestly has a regular "black hair texture"... she'll be in for a rude awaking when she gets older and ppl tell her that... it's sad!
she giving her daughter a terrible complex about herself. hell almost all of the other mothers are too =/
Because many people are still very ignorant to this day and don't understand that Latino is a culture, not a race. The man she married could be black but shares the Latin American culture. If you go to the Dominican Republic or Puerto Rico you will find many black people darker than some who live in the United States and with very coarse hair.
Actually I'd say her hair is looser textured, like a 3b/3c. Her mom probably just doesn't know how to style to get rid of the frizz, but her hair type is not typical "black hair texture." Not that that makes it better in anyway, just different.
Melodico are you that stupid? She didn’t find herself a black Dominican man with coarse hair. A baby born half African American and half black domician would come out with the same hair as her. She specifically said she wanted a baby with hair that was not coarse. So it’s pretty obvious she found a Latino man who was either white or tan complexion who didn’t have coarse hair so that her baby would come out mixed.
Her hair is very lonely curled, wavy if you will. While still poofy, it's much easier to manage
It's not, coily
Half of these ladies sound so ignorant and it is so depressing. So because my hair is "nappy" i'm "low class" and "poor." If only she knew me!!
had to be something her mom said because how in the hell would a child think that
Wow. So many parenting fails.
If all the parents are like that...what hope is there for the future generation?
FKAFuchsia lol true
"If relaxers were harmful then they wouldn't make it for young kids" LMAO cause the media and the hair industry and "the system" they got your back huh? Just lookin' out for you and your safety loool
Relaxers are harmful for anyone, regardless of age.
Seriously! I honestly laughed out loud when she said that. You can't even trust the food that's sold and the water we drink. Ask the residents of Flint Michigan if the government cared about their welfare 🙄
The little girl with the pony tails and the barrets ... her mother was smart enough not to perm her kid's hair. Plus the little girl looks like she has healthy kinky hair w/o the chemicals. :-)
Yes she is. And I’m sure her hair is thriving now. I never used chemicals before and I think my mama for that
As I white woman I will say this.. When did black women feel like all women needed to look the same, have the same hair?? In the seventies black women were sooooo beautiful!! I mean those were strong confident women. If you are black and you have "white" hair and you feel better having that hair.. How in hell are you going to look at your beautiful daughter and tell her that her natural hair is beautiful when you don't think your natural hair is??? No wonder these girls feel this way. Every culture has differences and we should embrace those. Sometimes I don't think black women know how beautiful they are... And FYI... We feel the same way about your skin!! White women CANT have smooth flawless tan skin naturally so we kill ourselves trying to get it from the sun and end up looking like a brown paper bag!
This isn't something that black women just decided over night, this hatred of hair texture and natural features has been centuries in the making. Ever since the first european ships arrived in Africa, black people's features were ridiculed to a point where conformity was needed just to survive in the world. and this idea that black people shouldn't be proud of their features still exists, it may not be said out loud anymore but who do you see on the covers of magazines, as leading women in movies, even really famous black celebrities are usually lighter with more eurocentric features; think beyonce. but I agree, black women are beautiful, and I feel that they are beginning to really embrace that natural beauty.
You don't speak for your whole race obviously and it comes from years of telling us we are nappy headed and lighter skin is better and the lighter your skin is the prettier you are and that natural hair is nasty and ugly and poor that's what it comes from maybe you should google black history it is a struggle we were told we were ugly because white people thought we were to exotic looking but their men were having sex with our women and making mixed babies
Brandy wine Brandy wine you are absolutely right. But I do have to lay down a little bit of truth to your perspective. I went to two universities, both of them predominantly white. The first one was in Western Maryland so many of the men there were white and were accustomed to girls that were comely and natural. These girls liked to hunt, go camping, farming, rode horses, and the like. So they were into those more "home-on-the-range" kind of girls. They weren't accustomed to black girls AT. ALL. But then I went to school in Baltimore and this is when I started feeling self-conscious about my hair. My school attracted students from states like New York, New Jersey, California, Massachusetts, and all the states where the hot and tanned girls were from. So their hair would be SO shiny and long and bouncy with different interwoven colors and so much moisture. Everyone should be in school to learn but when you're trying to date somebody and you're into the swirl you just want to say "HEY!! LOOK AT ME!! I'M INTERESTED!!!" I love my black hair, I do. But sometimes when you look at white hair you just want to just see what it's like to not have to have a nightly regime of spraying, wrapping, rolling, twisting, and plaiting your hair. It just looks really gorgeous. White people are the true colored people. Eyes that come in shades and change colors and hair that could be blonde at birth but then brown as a teenager. MOST Black people have black hair and brown eyes. Black hair and brown eyes. Hold on!! BROWN HAIR....and brown eyes. While we do love our hair and skin it would just be nice to have a different color/texture of hair once in a while.
I think my comment was misread and taken as a negative comment. I think black hair is beautiful. All I was saying is that going to this time and cost of wearing fake hair doesn't make since to me since since natural hair is so much more attractive. Geez, has it got to the point where there are so many hateful comments on you tube that everyone must take every comment as hateful and go on the attack with name calling? I think the downfall of society is being able to hide behind a screen and be assholes to other people ... An the same people would never do this in person. I'm sorry you all took this as bad but let me make myself crystal clear... I would never comment something bad about ANY woman black or white because women should lift each other up instead of tear them down.and that's all I'm gonna say!
+Brandy wine I understand what you mean. Awesome message. You are 100% right. Would I say you are the best messenger? Not exactly. Considering the fact that this self-hate was imposed by white people. This self-hate is created out of the dehumanizing of black people by whites. This happened over centuries and that slave mindset has been passed on as well. Maybe your tone made it sound like you were talking down. I know that wasn't your intention though.
Kalaysia absolutley broke my heart. I wish she knew how beautiful and gorgeous her long, luscious hair is, and that those terrible kids at her school are incredibly jealous of her. She is a beautiful little girl and I pray that one day she believes it. It's depressing how this is what our stunning children feel about themselves.
That 5 year old did not just use the term "lower class". Something seems fishy about that interview.
she obviously got that from her mom.
Her mom said it and obviously says it a lot since she's learned it.
Bruh I thought the same shit, they tell em what to say smh
Very true. I was surprised she used that term. It must have been said by an adult .
All of the girls have beautiful hair but because of the parent's ignorance, they believe their hair is bad
I love the girl with the long hair and it disheartens me that a girl with such beautiful hair would want to cut it
Am I the only one who thinks those kids were told what to say in that interview?
This whole show seems so scripted.
Of course, just look at the moms and how they react.
Okay, good to see that Im not.
yea, the "lower class" comment was straight from a script.
Kalimba Tuna
Of course. They aren't good actors.
That mom at the end said, "If it wasn't [healthy], they wouldn't make it for little kids."
...Um..."they" make cigarettes, cigarettes aren't healthy... Fact check, dude... Or just, you know, accept when you're wrong.
This society is far from healthy. The hair relaxer is just one example of many.
I got my first relaxer at 3 years old too. My last relaxer was Jan 2020 at 33. I transitioned to natural and did the big chop a month ago. I cried because I didn't realize how gorgeous and curly my natural hair was because I had never seen it that way. Never too late for a change I guess lol.
As much shit as people talk Blue Ivy is gonna have really long healthy hair.
preach
Yep, it's 2017 and this is confirmed.
Don't think so unless she has her mother's hair. Because Beyonce is mixed lm guessing.
Luz Figueroa I’m not mixed and my hair has always been long
Luz Figueroa the fact that you think black women can’t have long hair is so ignorant
I'm white, and when I was the age of those little girls, I was SO JEALOUS of the little black girls in my class! I wanted afro puffs and the little braids with beads and barettes on the ends SO BADLY. I begged my mother to style my super straight, blonde, thin, white-girl hair like that. Finally, my favorite aunt actually gave me cornrows. It lasted all of one day, but I LOVED it, ha ha. In high school, I really wanted an afro. Actually, I wore an afro wig once for a party, and it really does suit me, lol. I love natural black hair!
what’s your point? just because you felt self conscious of your hair around black people means nothing. this all started because of white people and white supremacy, of discrimination in the workplace if you have your natural hair, even during the slave trade white slave owners did a lot of things to their slaves to make them perceive more white. the black panthers in the 70s literally talked about hair discrimination, and how it takes alot of them for them to wear their natural hair because not only were they ridiculed, but bigots also subjected them to violence
The one that breaks my heart the most is the little girl with the really long hair. I hurt for her because her mother is trying to teach her that she's beautiful as she is, yet she has to endure ridicule for her hair at school, which is place where children should be safe and comfortable. This is not just a "mom tell your girl that she's beautiful" thing, it's societal. It makes me sick how some people love to claim their individuality or even novelty but attack others for being different from them in the same breath. My heart breaks for all of these babies who have been taught to hate themselves because they don't look like someone else.
But the little girls' mom with the long hair sounded ignorant when she said that her daughters hair is so good like wtf. And the clown who said she doesn't date black guys sounds dumb af, because she doesn't want to have kids with nappy hair!!! FOH
Why do u have to call someone dumb. She isn't dumb she grew up in that area is insecure but not dumb. Dumb is not being able to identify the difference between hurt and...nevermind
I think that the little girl with the long hair is absolutely beautiful her hair is gorgeous. When I was her age I had hair her length and kids always wanted to touch it. Everyone did but my mother would comb it and put it into a ponytail braid I don't see why her mother won't do the same. And another thing, the white mom is just lazy. She is not teaching her daughter to love her hair and isn't doing right by her child by not learning to deal with her hair. Her daughter will grow up to believe that her hair isn't beautiful
That girl with the really long hair is beautiful. I really hope she grows up to accept it because she'll know how lucky she is
True that , I agree 100% with everything you said Kalaysia truly is beautiful. and tbh I think Malia is "something else" and she gets it from her mother. Her mom decided at 11 to have a baby outside of her race just so her child can have "pretty hair" smh...
I know. their just jealous of her.
yes she should put it in a bun though... i wonder what she thinks of her hair now!
Even the mom's lookin like a snack
I agree. If you have hair on your head it's good hair. You just have to know what to do to keep it healthy.
For the woman who decided to have a baby outside of her race so that her daughter could have better hair, it didn't work lol her daughter's hair is definitely very coarse and nappy looking. It's not that long either. I'm half Latina and I had long, very soft natural hair at that age down my back (and I didn't care). Not trying to bash the child, but what the mother did was pure ignorance.
This made me cry, I am biracial (filipino and black), and I have curly frizzy hair (a mix of 3a and 3b). My curls are big and bra length. I know exactly how these kids feel though, i used to cry everyday about my hair wondering why my naturally straight hair friends have such beautiful hair, and I was left with this crap on my head. I try very very hard every day to take care of my hair and embrace it. It's getting better everyday though, and I've stopped straightening it.
These parents disgust me. What's the problem with a beautiful afro? They're destroying their childrens hair. I'm cutting of my relaxed hair because I don't like relaxed hair. I've never likes relaxed hair. I'd rather have 'nappy' natural hair than unatural relaxed hair anyday.
I HATE that so many black women are teaching their children from such a young age, that they aren't good enough the way they are! I don't care if it takes 4 hours to do her hair. I will tell my daughter every single day that she is beautiful just the way she is while I'm combing through her kinky/coily hair, rather than slap a perm in it and have her grow up hating herself.
I got my first relaxer when I was 5/6 (which burned my scalp badly) as my father (who is black) said to my mom (who is white) that my hair wasn't 'good' enough and that it embarrassed him in front of his relatives/other black people. As I got older I became obsessed with straight hair as I lived in a white community and didnt want to be teased by other people. It got to a point where my bangs became so brittle/damaged that the hair fell out. I was 11 and had had enough and so went natural. Now I've been natural for 3 years and am never going back.
Omg, I used to cry and be in so much pain when my mum used to brush my hair, it knots and curls as soon as you finished washing it and in the mornings!! Memories 0_0
question why would the she put a relaxer in her 3 year old hair like thats definitely not healthy. i got my first relaxer when i was 14 which is something i regret doing because it caused a lot damage in my hair and for the past 3 years ive been going natural and im really started to love it.
Oh my god, Shaniya broke my heart. Your braids are beautiful, sweetheart.
Looking back at this, I think the white mom's daughter has type 4 hair. I didn't know mixed people could have type 4 hair until Joy-el and Doja Cat. She wouldn't relax it and put weave in it if her daughter's hair type was 3 or below.
I'm a carefree mixed girl, my curly hair is beyond beautiful.
That white mom.... I don't have words.
The girl with long hair looks so pretty:o
my daughter is 9. and I'm so happy she doesn't think this way. Today she asked to wear her hair in a big fro. I will continue to teach her to love her hair and her skin. it's very important that we teach self esteem at a young age.
I am a cosmetologist, this is really heart breaking and it is more of a reflection I think either on the parents or society. These beautiful babies of all hues, already don't like themselves......
Nappy hair is low class?
+ConservativeAnthem Right??? No child speaks like that unless they were taught. Those are words that she most likely overheard coming from her mother's mouth.
they are jealous of kalayshia's hair end of story, i mean look at it ffs its awesome.
The girl with really long hair would look so cute with a single braid or braided pigtails.
I think they should have interviewed the children separately. It seemed like they were influencing each other. That 5 year old said she liked her hair because it is long and soft, but by the end of the interview she was saying she thinks that "nappy haired" ppl look lower class. (.-.)
I had the opposite response when I wore my curly hair out for the first time at school. I have kinky-curly hair. I got so many compliments about it. I use to hate my curly hair, but now I embrace it and cherish it because no one else in the world has my texture. Accepting your real texture is truly a journey of self discovery
I got my hair relaxed when I was 4 or 5 and I had to have 2 because my hair went to my butt... I hated it my mom wouldn't let me go natural so when I was 18 i went natural and later cut it all off now my hair is healthier and stronger and i love my kinky curly hair..... i mean black people are the only race with hair like that why hide from it just embrace it...
Thank you 🥰🙌🏼
Even the interviewer has straightened hair! LMAO
wow i can hardly watch this, little girls should feel beautiful no matter what texture hair they have.
the 5 year old with the super long hair broke my heart,I loved her pic with the natural hair, the kids at school were just hating,she beautiful hair,and every race has different textures,and qualities that are unique,people just have to learn to embrace them
I miss the Tyra show. It was so good!!!
Imagine your own mom calling your hair “bad”
Wooow...did she really just say "if it wasn't healthy, then they wouldn't make it [relaxers] for little kids"...ummm cigarettes aren't healthy but are constantly getting sold, making millions of dollars a year. Pure ignorance.
I don't understand why she didn't cut that little girl's hair. It would grow back! I'm NOT saying relax it or shave her bald! If she's getting teased because of the length then help her out by cutting it. That white mother contradicted herself. She relaxes that baby's hair because it's too thick but then adds weave to make it thicker. Um...what?
cutting her hair would only confirm what that child is felling. somwhere down the line she could be teased for something else
It's JUST length. It's not a big deal. Cut it.
Flo Guillory if they start teasing her saying shes not light enough will you start bleaching her skin?
People cut their hair everyday and it's normal. Bleaching your skin is not and can cause serious health issues. Hair length is not permanent. She could have cut it into a cute style, and made that little girl feel confident. They were PULLING OUT chunks of this little girls hair. It's wrong to NOT cut it.
Flo Guillory when people cut their hair its usually NOT because they are a little girl being bullied. cutting her hair is ridiculous. These are little kids, they could just as easily start teasing her the next day about her new "cute style". PULLING OUT chunks of her hair is physical assault and should be dealt with the parents, school officials, and (if needed) local law authorities. cutting her hair is not solving anything.
As I child I wasn't told that if you had nappy hair it was bad. Even when my mother relaxed it. I wasn't told anything negative. I was literally oblivious and then continued to do it through adulthood until last year when I had far too much damage and decided to go natural, but I transitioned to it. So sad that the little girls feel that way. my mother relaxed my hair because I had thick curly and course hair and my mom didn't have time in the morning to not only do my hair but also my sister's. My sister's hair wasn't as thick as mine. Funny enough, I never cried when my mom did my hair. She would just say, "Ooo sorry, bare with me". "You still with me"? "We're almost there".
OOMG that precious little girl who talked about being made fun of by other kids. heartbreaking. so fucking heartbreaking.
Y'all know relaxer is sodium hydroxide right... That shit eats through flesh and metal in minutes why would you put in on your hair. I come from a diverse background and I love it when my cousins and aunts have they're natural hair, it's not cheap or low class its beautiful. No one should make you feel ugly because your hair isn't their idea of beauty.
Still makes me sad to this day, but I'm happy more women are starting to praise their daughters and their own hair. From the curliest to the kinkiest of hair, our hair is very much beautiful, and it's one of a kind.
The big picture is WHY she wants the haircut...she wants it becuz the other kids hate it.She would be allowing her child to give in and let other people dictate how she is supposed to look..which may apply to her later in life. She could put in a bun to keep the kids out of her hair.
I was thinking the same thing
She can wear her hair shoulder length
I remember in the 3rd grade my hair was down to but crack and the white and Asian girls would say things like “get your big hair out of my face” my crush once said “your hair is nappy though” which a girl I’ve never talked to stood up for me. I’m Mexican Black White and West Native. My mom gave me a big trim around the time I started experiencing with hot tools. So my hair was more fried up until I was 16. That’s when I started staying in the house often to let my hair be curly for bits at a time. I’ve straightened my hair so much that I’ve never got to work with my curly hair, is don’t know what custards or gels to use. I regained its health to under my boobs, then I got a job around 20 and didn’t go to work with it curly not even once and now it’s back to being fried. I’m so disappointed in myself, I guess i like the long curly look, when it was curly it looked short, had I let it grow more it would be super long by now.
i'm so happy this is still on youtube! i remember watching this with my auntie at her house and we couldn't fathom how beautiful these babies and their hair were! just in awe! and i wanted to know how they were doing today! they are such dolllllssss! i know what it's like to be made fun of for your hair. if anyone were to ask me to show them pics of me in my younger years of age 3-8 you'd probably notice i had nothing but weave really. kiddie ponytails, twisties, swoops, lol
I'm 13 and I got a relaxer when I was 7 after begging for a year when I was 12 I stooped getting relaxers because I wanted GOOD HAIR AKA healthy hair
"You don't want to make the mistake of falling in love with a Black man and have some kinky haired babies"Love the highly "ironic" tone saying that to that woman, when a few years later she would chose a Scandinavian man(you can't get whiter than that) to be the father of her child!!! The hypocrisy means nothing to that woman!
Lol, the women in the crowd like "smh".
I'm mixed, my mum started relaxing my hair at about 2 and a half years old. I have never seen my natural hair because it has constantly been relaxed.
Btw I've been dying my hair since 8! I've been every natural and un-natural color you could think of! My hair's never fallen out or became patchy or thinned! I'm 27 now and I will continue to dye my hair whenever I please!
Disgusting parenting, putting chemicals in small children’s hair is abuse.... end of
First of of black peoples hair is the best It is so versatile we can straightening relax it braid it it’s curly naturally their so many different hair styles we can do
Dang Im from the caribbean with natural hair, this just seems crazy to me. The self-hate, I can not
As you can tell, no matter what state our African hair is in, it is crucial to retain a healthy regimen to achieve your desired hair.
So true. I had the same issue, especially during my middle school years. People are always gonna hate those who got what they want.
I meeean....DOES ANYONE THINK FOR THEMSELVES???
This is not only a problem for african American women, but Dominican americans as well. Ninety percent of dominican Americans are of African decent. You're brainwashed at a young age to go to the salon once a week or every two weeks. I'm just tired living in a culture like this. NAPPY IS BEAUTIFUL.
look at how our children are programmed smdh glad im natural and I love my hair and being black :)
I'am American-Latin decent my hair is very thick and dark I did that relaxer madness it literally damage the texture of the crown of my head.Till this day I can feel the difference in the texture of my hair.
Fast forward to 2013 and now we see more women going natural. I didn't know how to take care of my permed hair growing up and as a young adult. As a result my hair never reached past neck length. I didn't start loving my hair until I went back to my natural roots. I get more compliments now, mainly from white women, who say they wish their hair was versatile like mine. When I have daughters I plan to teach them to love whatever texture grows out of their scalp despite what others say.
Those poor little girls. I wish I had my hair down my back. Not dating a guy because of how the hair might turn out?? Sad
Down my back I meant lol
The way Shante talks about relationships is really irritating. She makes it sound like she can't think about men without thinking about future children. There is more to a relationship than just having kids! Dating a black man does not automatically mean having a "nappy-haired" child.
I agree 100% many black women fail to realize that and men too. Like my cousin is black and white but her hair is not the typical biracial hair. Her hair is very long(she is a beautician) but it is like an afro if she were to go natural. So she relaxes it. But it is to her back. But i have 2 parents that are mixed but black is my dominate gene. But my hair is very curly(3c or biracial hair)
cutienaiya That wasn't really what I was getting at but definitely true.
+junkfoodjunkiewassup she definitely has some other issues with black men besides not wanting kinky-headed babies.
This is just sad I'm 14 and I have a afro and I'm proud of it I'm not going to let some ones opinion of my hair change how I feel about it and just because I have a fro don't mean I'm lower class or my hair is bad
I wanna hug those kids right now and tell them "your beautifully and wonderfully made by God and no one can say otherwise"
Love the guy in the beginning ! He knows his stuff !
If you’re broken, please don’t have kids until you’ve sought professional help... don’t pass on your baggage to your innocent kids. And I’m referring to all types of baggage in general
I don't get the white mom's excuse that doing her kid's hair takes too long. I have kinky hair, as does my mom, and we just put ours in ponytails. Seriously, it's the brushing that takes the most time, and that takes only five minutes at most. Is it a West Coast thing (I live in SoCal) to have less artsy styles like afros and ponytails? My East Coast family members in the Carolinas seem to be a lot more serious about the styling of their hair.
This is why I love Tommy Sotomayor. He always calls these black women out on their bs. This mess here is so sad. Smh. I am glad that we are in a time right now where black girls are starting to appreciate their real hair and their natural hair. All that self hate is from the older generation that they passed down to their kids. But today, black girls are actually loving the real hair they were born with. Yes, a lot of black women and girls still wear weaves, but it's because of ignorance like these ladies here.
hey I just wanted to pop in and point out that the "good vs bad hair" issue is not only the African-American community. My Dominican family has always pressured me into getting my hair relaxed and telling me that I had bad hair. It's common with a lot of people of colour.
My hair was really long, down to my waist a month ago and everyone loved it, especially when i straightened or leave curly. But i decided i needed a change, so i cut it where my shoulders are and i donated it. And i love my new hair. So easy to manage and im glad i donated it instead of letting it go to the trash.
omg its soooo sad for me to watch this.... I have huge curly hair and I love it I think that curly hair is the most beautiful hair ... these girls being ashamed of it .., its just sad
The white mom needs to just take her daughter to get her hair washed and have someone put a cute cornrow style in it every few weeks. This little girl doesn't need weave tracks sewn in her head. Absolutely ridiculous
unfortunately black guys have that issue too, mostly black women judge us on our hair as well if its kinky, wavy or straight...we judge our own race more than any other race does to us
Omg the 5 year old is sooooo cute!!!! And her voice is too!!!!!
I just wanted to thank everyone for this series. I found it while doing research on what to expect when I(hopefully) adopt this adorable half black girl. This helps me so much.
I don't understand why that mom doesn't want to just cut that kids hair? It's not a big deal, it will grow back. Cause I'm sure it's annoying for a little kid who just wants to play to have hair all over the place.
Lei A it's Bc of what the other kids say not Bc she wants that personally for herself so it can lead into when she gets older
Rachel Dolezal was very jealous of these women when she watched this episode.
I hate the term "good hair" too!
I think its more philosophical than anything else, trying to teach her daughter that all hair is beautiful, she is beautiful. Everyone different in their own way, she doesnt have to be like everyone else.
I cant believe the at 3:49. I was thinking that her daughter didn't even know what lower class was and was told that by the producers. But the sad truth is that she learnt that right from her mother
I remember this episode...i was really disgusted!
I've seen Caucasian ladies with nappy hair.
Relaxers should be removed from all stores
WHEN kalishas mom started crying it made me cry. :( i feel how the daughter felt about the teasing of the hair and teasing in general
I agree! My mother chemically relaxed my hair when I was 7 because she got tired of trying to comb and style my natural hair. My aunt chemically relaxed my cousins hair when they were only 2 years old.
