consumerism....imperialism.....capitalism......and oppression is really slapping us in the face.
I honestly thought I'd see more afros when the movement started but it went down the curl definition and length check route and then some of the ppl i followed went back to relaxer
Truth! All of a sudden my feed was filled with people going back to relaxers, and this had to be not even a month after the reports of it causing cancer coming out.
I HATE this length check fuckery! But I owned a hair salon so I just had to smile when people said that shit lol
Afros were 60s and 70s when the hair revolution was coupled with a Black Pride movement.
Facts. Stop putting this crap in your hair. Shampoo. Conditioner. Dry your hair immediately. Apply leave in conditioner. Style with setting foam
This is medicine I didn’t know I needed, thank you!
you’re welcome! im glad it helped!
Wow, everything you said, spot on. 👌🏿👍🏿 I wish more of our people could be more open-minded to see this.
we all do too. its very disheartening to see how unnecessarily hard it is for us
Thank you for being so unapologetic. Needed this! New sub!
I found your channel recently and its crazy because I've unlocked a new side of natural hair youtube. I've been natural since 2014 🤦🏾♂️
Natural hair care became easy once I learned to like and accept my 4c texture. I just wash it once a week shampoo and condition, a bit of moisturizer and oil then two strand twist it. Also, once you have healthy natural hair, you don’t have to use expensive products. I just use Aussie, most of their products are under five dollars. No shower cap. The steam from the shower helps keep it moisturized.
I am half black w/ 3C hair and I felt horrible for "neglecting" my hair according to the natural hair community after I went natural half my life ago at 15 after a childhood of relaxing. My curls have never been so beautiful and defined with me doing the bare minimum. I was about to revamp my whole routing adding masks, treatments, etc. I'll stick with shampooing once or twice a week, and only applying product once or twice a week (unless I'm styling) thanks to videos like these. I'm also going to start detangling less, and just sleeping with my hair down. I am so thankful for this new perspective in the natural hair community.
You can do whatever you want with your hair but all hair is not the same so you have to learn to take care of what you've got. And we are not the only group of people dealing with hair issues. Curly girls from all different cultures deal with this too. Women with thin hair struggle with these issues as well and problems are created by over manipulation and overuse of bad products overtime and so they often resort to evebrything we do, wigs, extensions. Etc. We just seem to talk about it more openly than others at this point.
Very true, although there is no Crown Act for thinning, greying, or over-processed hair. The deeper point here is that WE have not been able to and sometimes still cannot do “whatever” we want to our hair. Until we can all live without the anxiety of having to look “presentable,” this conversation will still end with “I bought it, so it’s mine.”
I remember seeing a video awhile back about how African hair is actually high porosity and can't be low porosity. Low porosity hair is a trait find in Asian hair. It was a very well researched video I'll link it if I ever find it. But I was of the impression that I had low Porosity, but when i started washing more often and also shampooing twice I realised my hair was probably just very dehydrated. Now if I wash my hair at least 1-2 times a week my hair absorbs water almost immediately, which was never the case before. This made me realise how little we really know about our hair, and that we definitely do make it harder on ourselves.
As a Black woman with low porosity hair (takes long to get fully wet, takes long to get fully dry) I’d have to disagree with that generalization. It’s always good to learn more about yourself though!
The channel is Natural Nadine
I just love watching your videos. It was the zoom in on clay that cracked me up 🤭. Currently grabbing me some snacks to watch your videos on my tv
this is so sweet 🥹 thank you 💗
These are the thoughts that ruminate around in my head when I am detangling. After speaking to a trichologist well before “the movement,” I learned about the LOC method and that was that. My cousin (a licensed cosmetologist) told me about glycerin - which I routinely forget about). Cut to RUclips, influencers (with gigantic, non-textured curls) and the hyper consumerism of it all, and I think we are in a worse place psychologically then we were before we started learning. Ain’t that a B.
I went natural to make my hair care routine easier
But the natural hair community 😮💨 I just don’t have the time for all that…
Do WHATEVER you want to do, it’s your hair🤷🏽♀️ I take great care of my hair and put my wig right on. I will go to the hairdresser and put my wig on right after🧚🏽🥰
When I had locs I went through exactly the same thing! I would do nothing but wash them and nobody could accept that was the right thing to do, or how good they looked…..
i did think about how deeply the black community (and now that i have broadened my eyesight a bit, hair community in general but that's for another time) could be brainwashed so deeply for decades if not their entire lives about oils and butters in their hair and not washing often, but you have to apply context. it's easy to think "Wait a minute. Water and oil don't mix. Oils can't be used as a sealant for water or moisture at all" if you are in a corner of the room. but once you apply light to all the room, you see how easily it is to not only believe something so ridiculous but to the points of anger and defense. growing up with "black hair" isn't just a singular thing. as you grow up you are taught that black people are unique all over. they have more rhythm. they are naturally athletically superior. their food tastes better and so on and so on. whether you believe this is true or not, that's the case of growing up black. so to hear that even your hair is backwards and doesn't need to be washed unlike those "nasty white people", there is no room to question it anymore than questioning the other attributes to being black (and therefore, unique).
what's sad in all this is what these beliefs are further held as solid and legit the more they put fats in their hair and use the wrong shampoo the wrong way and blame it being black instead of making a mistake. so there comes the cognitive dissonance reconfirmed for them.
i believe that if "growing up black" (=, being told all these stories about black people being supernaturally special and unique) didn't happen for a lot of people, there would be way more people asking questions about how butters make hair grow in general but especially for them. but we don't have that. we have years of children growing up being told that they are biologically different on a molecular level so it's harder for some people to break free.
Gosh, I'd like to have a conversation with you! You present your thoughts so clearly and passionately, with a touch of Je ne sais quoi ❤ My, personal, experience with natural hair has been quite different from yours - maybe, because of our age difference? - so, perhaps, it's natural that our conclusions are different. Idk, but I'm sure that you and I would have great conversations. I'm glad that I found your channel!
Im not listening to a baldheaded hairstylist, a dentist with bad teeth or a financial advisor with a bad credit score. 😂
There is SO much unlearning to do 🤦🏾♀️
Ive found someone i resonate with..its not supposed to be this hard
Yes!!!!!
Amazing and grounded in truth! Let’s dismantle the lies together!
WAIT GUYS OILD DOESNT SEAL MOISTURE IN UR HAIR? HAIBO UM SO CONFUSED. I mean ik that water and oil dont mix but if that doesnt work then how do i seal it in?....😭?
no it doesn’t. the best you can do is conditioner, but eventually water is going to evaporate. you just have to wash your hair more often (1-2x weekly), use water based and plant based products and avoid dehydrating products and practices and your hair won’t be so dry, just like how we do with skin.
@@sigh_yuri Oh, okay. Tysm!!
you can try a leave in conditioner ! green beauty on youtube is amazinggg she gives amazing tips on type 4 hair
Preach!❤
Don't sleep on them clay mask.
🤣🤣🤣
Csn you make a vlog to share your experience with chronic back pain and how you manage it. I have it as well.
sure!
I wash my hair with clay...lol. Cause I have locs and clay is awesome for locs! But yes girl. Lol. I'm not into the curly girl world they want to champion.
cognitive dissonance is everywhere. it's how people justify eating meat.
Don't hit me like that. Dang.
This video is about doing what's natural for us and our bodies. Eating meat is a part of that. It's cognitive dissonance to think we don't need it. Our teeth alone are omnivorous.
@@Alixir1228😂Right! Because if I go vegan for to long. People smell like food and I want to bite them😂😂😂🤷🏽♀️
