Hmm, when she works there's a certain look that there has to be. Basically this idea is that when you're black, you're not educated. The more black you look, the less professional you look. The curlier the hair, is "less professional". Whatever is in my mind has nothing to with what's on my head. My hair does not define my brain, neither does my skin. I am not dumb because I am dark or because I have curly hair. Cut the shit, stay WOKE!
I know that this is an old comment, but Raven is an actress. When you're in a role you don't decide what your hair and wardrobe is. If she was talking about a corporate job, that would've been different.
The problem is that every time girls leave the house they have to have a weave on. You can talk about how much your natural hair is beautiful, but If you don't wear it out then you are ashamed of it and use wigs to mask yourself.
I hate when people say shit like this an think because black women wear weaves we are hiding and masking our natural hair, you act as if you dont what is underneath. Some people just like to change it up.
Have you ever thought that maybe a weave is just easier it honestly is sometimes and depending on the person their hair is probably more high maintenance than getting up everyday to flat iron and even if they could just do that think of all the heat damage weaves are a lot easier for some people.
UniquetheArt My question is, why do these Black dudes have long hair in dredlocks and stuff, but our own women can't seem to embrace natural hair styles. Instead from a young age it's all about perms. By the time they grow up all those chemicals have shut the hair growth down. You don't have to straighten your hair. I know we live in western society, but that shouldn't make you hate our natural afro. Who cares if we are different. Why can't we just have the stance that we actually like our fro's? That would eliminate heat damage, and all the rest of your problems. Afro hair is not wicked, ugly, or a curse. It is how we were created. We are unique and should accept ourselves instead of conforming to white standards.
Anthony Baker Your taking my comment wrong I agree with you and all you say but I think if a black woman wants to wear her hair in a weave she shouldn't be judge by it in the end of the day we have been westernized and some us will embrace that and some opus want to embrace our roots. Personally Im natural but I don't like when natural women or men judge the ones who decide not take that route.
It is barbaric for any person to scalp another human being to get some "good hair". If anyone buys another human's hair, the donor of that hair should have money personally sent and they should be able to go to school and get out of poverty. Spending $100-1000 dollars for a bag of hair is okay, but spending $6-50 on hair products to promote healthy hair growth is bad? Explain that logic... #loveyourselfplease
This film was VERY educational for me and I am glad I saw it; although, when I was watching it, it also made me think of how I used to risk getting skin cancer going to tanning booths and getting those God awful spiral perms (yeah, I'm talking about the 80's). Now at 40, I'm seeing a dermatologist for all the damage done tanning. I think the long and short of it is to be happy and confident with yourself & who you are and if others don't like it, too bad. Kudos to CR for making this film!
I'm black and Arab and I dont give a damn what other people say, I can wear my hair the way I want to. If I want to straighten it so what, if I want to wear it curly, so what that has nothing to do with nobody else that's not nobody else's business. That does not mean I hate my hair, I love my hair and I do straighten it from time to time to give myself a break. I am not trying to be white when I straighten it,(nothing against white people). So if a black girl wants to wear her hair in braids, curly, kinky,straighten what ever, that has nothing to do with anyone else it is there business. It is just hair why the hell does it even matter, why are others so concerned about other people. "Is it real, is it fake", like why does matter, will you sleep better at night knowing that someone's hair is real or fake. Who gives a damn, do what you want it's so many others things we can talk about, but the damn topic is black women and the hair that comes out of there head. I know plenty of black women who have hair down to there ass, and some of them still wear weave, it's there damn business. Hair growth has nothing to do with the color of your skin, it's whether or not you take care of it. Point blank and period.
+NicoleStyles most folks in society won't tell a black women that she looks great -fake or real hair. Some folks are haters. These people remind me of the little bad boy who always hits the little girl he likes. My mom told me, we are in the dimension of adolescence, where we physically age, but most of us will always be child-minded--- and that's what most of the childish attitude is. Some people think-Some black women look exotic and we admire them with fake or real hair- we look up to them, but to make myself feel less salty I'll be phony and pretend like its a problem with these women but secretly I love it. Sorry, RUclips automatically placed a strike through some of my words.
+Celina Bartutis That's your opinion and your entitled to it.If a black women gets her real hair straighten with heat- colored- textured- pulled and what ever else, with her own hair, she is not put down but when she wants to protect her hair or is transitioning and wear something that doesn't damage it then its a problem- this sounds stupid. Also, they don't have to stop wearing it because you think it looks stupid. We all do things that are shameful and stupid, to others.
no disrespect babe but it's reason why so many black people in this country suffer in this country. a people with no sense of self compared to test of the people here.
Raven is such an insperation and positive romodel to ppl of ALL ages! She beautiful, smart, confident, and really comfortable in her own skin and afraid to be herself! I've admired her ever since I was a little girl! You keep doin your thing Ray!!!
She's a really lovely and intelligent young woman!!! I'm so glad that there are such good female role models in the public arena. If only the good ones got some media time rather than the train wrecks.
At first I did not understand Raven...I thought that she was just a spoiled TV kid who didn't understand how it was to be black. Now, I love her so much! She is such a down to earth and real woman and I appreciate the fact that certain things she shares with the world and is not ashamed to tell you about it!
this is a old video to comment on but I'm going to anyways. I am a truck driver and I use to do cross country. I never been to Atlanta before I did truck driving. The first time going, I went to the Petro Truck Stop outside of Atlanta, couple miles away from the six flags / Lithia Springs. The truck stop, had a weave salon. After first noticing that, I started to notice alot more about it around the city. Never seen it before lol. I thought I've seen a lot of crazy shit in California. But damn....
Honestly, i am so glad something like this came out. i need to find where i can watch the whole thing. I don't wear weave and i don't think there is anything wrong with it but i can definately relate. There are some good looking people wearing weave. and i think this film can help a LOT of confused people understand and it can teach me something. This is culture for anyone who wanted to know about different kinds of hair. I think everyone who has hair PERIOD can relate.
i love raven! shes so confident and i love her personality! its so genuine and real. love it. its hard to see that in hollywood. especially since she grew up in it at such a young age.
I'd rather meet Raven then any other celebrity. Her personality just makes her seem so approachable unlike most celebrities. She's so honest and expresses herself so well
Now I understand why black women and black girls have a fascination with my hair. I have short dark brown hair and really really straight its really manageable but and it doesn't curl too . Growing up and till this day black women always complimented on how nice and pretty my hair is and ask me what do I do to get it straight and I've never understood why they always ask me and they always when as far as running their fingers through my hair! I don't mind and when ask what I do to have my hair the way do, I respond with a nothing, I don't do anything special o just wash it and maybe put some gel or other male hair products
i have curly hair and i learned though time how to manage it and by the time i was in my teens i knew how to take care of it. i never straighten it or relax it
I wonder why Chris Rock didn't show the process he uses to get his hair a little wavy. He has been in a few movies where he showcased his natural hair texture which is not silky smooth. By the way, a lot of sisters take their cues on hair styles from what brothers say they want. One well-known black male publicly said that women should not wear their hair like a man (natural).
If you found the documentary bit interesting I know that a singer over in the Uk did a documentary one weave and were it comes from and stuff. I dont know if its on you tube but watch it and you may think twice. her name is Jameelia
do natural women have to put up with scalp burns, chemical poisoning, hair loss, etc...? taking care of your hair is one thing. A lifetime of purposely damaging your God given hair is something else.
In the video, Raven talks about that; she says "I went on the red carpet [with natural hair] and someone called me a poodle." Most workplaces look down upon natural black hair and see it as "unprofessional" so a lot of women choose to wear weaves or wigs or relax their hair.
Huh, I'm natural. I don't know my opinion on, relaxed, weave, wigs all that. When I was four I got a relaxer (clearly not my choose). Know I'm 15, I shaved my hair off last year and have Ben natural for a little more than a year. I'm not negatively judging others that aren't natural. But every body says they do all these things because it's easier to handle and stuff, but that's not what I've herd or felt or even seen when my hair was natural. It's kind of sad that know one supports teaches there children that there naturally beautiful. 😿
raven ..is brave to do that and im glad she aint ashamed to tell she wears weave but i have long hair n its curly n very thick...and it can get nappy i put a texurizer n my hair is still fine its jus less curly and i want it back curlyer but im going to get a hot oil treament to repair it
Shes totally comfortable and confident in the fact that she wants to look white, and refuses to wear her hair naturally.... Maybe if she took a stand for her real/natural hair as a beautifly woman, people would not have been so quick to call her a "poodle"....
@applebaum some black ppl do have natural straight hair, just like any other race, black ppl have different hair textures! Some have straight, some have wavy, my mom has curly hair but her hair is a diff curl than mine! My curls are SUPER TIGHT CURLS, which means, I can flat iron my hair, but if I were I wash it, like most ppl you would probably think I cut my hair cause my curls are so tight!
That's just what some men want. Most black men just want nice looking and nice acting black women who are healthy and have great overall qualities. They feel most comfortable with that type.
I understand you do, but the majority of my class mates who are African American female and my friends hate their hair, the way it is naturally.. and I don't understand why, but I believe it's because of the media and celebs! and not only is their a hair problem but also skin, most of them want to be light skinned..

Ok , I think everyone can agree with me when I say " I want the old Raven back " ☹
Lmfao it's so weird watching this in 2016 after all her fuckery...
Poor raven. I feel like people should “forgive her” or whatever. She is a good comedian, and seems like a nice person. I hate cancel culture.
LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOO🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Back when Raven seem to have sense
Hmm, when she works there's a certain look that there has to be. Basically this idea is that when you're black, you're not educated. The more black you look, the less professional you look. The curlier the hair, is "less professional". Whatever is in my mind has nothing to with what's on my head. My hair does not define my brain, neither does my skin. I am not dumb because I am dark or because I have curly hair. Cut the shit, stay WOKE!
I know that this is an old comment, but Raven is an actress. When you're in a role you don't decide what your hair and wardrobe is. If she was talking about a corporate job, that would've been different.
The problem is that every time girls leave the house they have to have a weave on. You can talk about how much your natural hair is beautiful, but If you don't wear it out then you are ashamed of it and use wigs to mask yourself.
I hate when people say shit like this an think because black women wear weaves we are hiding and masking our natural hair, you act as if you dont what is underneath. Some people just like to change it up.
UniquetheArt
I understand wearing weave sometimes, but when the weave is your "best look", something is wrong.
Have you ever thought that maybe a weave is just easier it honestly is sometimes and depending on the person their hair is probably more high maintenance than getting up everyday to flat iron and even if they could just do that think of all the heat damage weaves are a lot easier for some people.
UniquetheArt My question is, why do these Black dudes have long hair in dredlocks and stuff, but our own women can't seem to embrace natural hair styles.

I know we live in western society, but that shouldn't make you hate our natural afro. Who cares if we are different. Why can't we just have the stance that we actually like our fro's?
That would eliminate heat damage, and all the rest of your problems.
Afro hair is not wicked, ugly, or a curse. It is how we were created. We are unique and should accept ourselves instead of conforming to white standards.

She needs to go back to speaking like this....more likable
I love Raven.... her attitude is sassy and right on.
big ups to raven she is being very BIG about the topic that says a lot about her confidence
I miss these old days when they used to play that's so raven and on the cheetah girls movies
Regina Alexandre , she is perfect for family shows.
I watch That's So Raven regularly on RUclips! It makes me happy and it comforts me :) She's so pretty and hilarious! So so talented!
Raven is still beautiful!!!
LOVE HER!!! She is so real and honest. In my mind she is my cute, sassy, fun little sister. She seems like so much fun.
Amazing! That show was more than just hair. It was very much about fashion!
She is very well spoken and doesn't try to hide the truth about black women and what they go through everyday
Raven is so paid!! I love Raven and her hair is Always on point!!
I definitely have to watch this movie! Raven looks so beautiful in this interview!
Amen! :) I am glad you shared that.
This film was VERY educational for me and I am glad I saw it; although, when I was watching it, it also made me think of how I used to risk getting skin cancer going to tanning booths and getting those God awful spiral perms (yeah, I'm talking about the 80's).

I don't care what kind of hair she has, she's such a beautiful person.
I watched that documentary and Raven pulling her weave like that was just THE best part! lol.
I'm black and Arab and I dont give a damn what other people say, I can wear my hair the way I want to.

People say what they want about Raven, but her hair be on POINT at ALL times. Get it...
Raven is such a sweet and cool person. I remember watching her as little Olivia on the Cosby Show. I love her personality.
Raven is such an insperation and positive romodel to ppl of ALL ages! She beautiful, smart, confident, and really comfortable in her own skin and afraid to be herself! I've admired her ever since I was a little girl! You keep doin your thing Ray!!!
i love her!! best female comedian ever! that's so raven is for EVER!
Raven Rocks!!!...i ♥ her!
luv her she is so real and straight up
i love raven .. she so confident and pretty ...ad well spoken ..gooo girl!!
fyi - love the blacktreemedia vids but the audio for the interviewer is not that good. - but like I said always love the vids good job
She's a really lovely and intelligent young woman!!! I'm so glad that there are such good female role models in the public arena. If only the good ones got some media time rather than the train wrecks.

Jesse Crookes never too late to comment and weave is big business in the south. They have done armed robberies on weave shops
She's beautiful and so down to earth! That's what I like about her....very significant and classy lady. My idol!
how awkward is it when the ad before the video is for a film called "the raven". LOL
Honestly, i am so glad something like this came out. i need to find where i can watch the whole thing. I don't wear weave and i don't think there is anything wrong with it but i can definately relate.

I hate getting my hair done but in the end it looks good.
I am going natural now but i do love my clips and weaves.
i have curly hair and i learned though time how to manage it and by the time i was in my teens i knew how to take care of it. i never straighten it or relax it

Oh I love Raven.
RAVEN SYMONE, make more projects and beat more stars!!! I LOVE YOU.
You go Raven!!!!!
thats a damn shame!! this was educational. i want to attend the hair show!! i wonder how much it cost?
Intelligent interesting interview.
In the video, Raven talks about that; she says "I went on the red carpet [with natural hair] and someone called me a poodle." Most workplaces look down upon natural black hair and see it as "unprofessional" so a lot of women choose to wear weaves or wigs or relax their hair.
you go gurl!
Raven answers so well. She's cool.
raven looks good with any hair and in any outfit :)
She looks great and her hair is cute!!!!!!!!
Huh, I'm natural. I don't know my opinion on, relaxed, weave, wigs all that. When I was four I got a relaxer (clearly not my choose). Know I'm 15, I shaved my hair off last year and have Ben natural for a little more than a year.

big ups on the improve audio!
Dang, I thought that was Raven's real hair. It looks the bombbbb!
yea it was hers on the Cosbys
she said she permed it at age 12
Daaaaamn raven looked so good back then
Love Raven
God i love raven, she's just gorgeous and freaking funny :)
why is the sound so low
@makeupbygloria she has admit it in an interview she said she loves the glamours hair and clothes
I love this interview...and that is so true !!1 We wanna swing our hair around thinking we Beyonce and we not!! Lol!!
"Interesting isn't it"... Lmao I love you Raven.
raven ..is brave to do that and im glad she aint ashamed to tell she wears weave but i have long hair n its curly n very thick...and it can get nappy i put a texurizer n my hair is still fine its jus less curly and i want it back curlyer but im going to get a hot oil treament to repair it
Raven seems to have grown up under the Cosby influence - she's funny, intelligent and relaxed. What a gal :)
Shes totally comfortable and confident in the fact that she wants to look white, and refuses to wear her hair naturally.... Maybe if she took a stand for her real/natural hair as a beautifly woman, people would not have been so quick to call her a "poodle"....
ravens so pretty i love her
I adore her.
@applebaum some black ppl do have natural straight hair, just like any other race, black ppl have different hair textures! Some have straight, some have wavy, my mom has curly hair but her hair is a diff curl than mine! My curls are SUPER TIGHT CURLS, which means, I can flat iron my hair, but if I were I wash it, like most ppl you would probably think I cut my hair cause my curls are so tight!
12% of the population buying 80% of the fake hair isn’t ‘complimentary’👎🏾
i love her, she is such a sweet and honest young woman..no denial, no apologies for what she chooses.
I forgot how cool Raven was.
Raven is beautiful!
I love Raven!
That's just what some men want. Most black men just want nice looking and nice acting black women who are healthy and have great overall qualities. They feel most comfortable with that type.
I understand you do, but the majority of my class mates who are African American female and my friends hate their hair, the way it is naturally.. and I don't understand why, but I believe it's because of the media and celebs! and not only is their a hair problem but also skin, most of them want to be light skinned..
The person about Raven was right...lol I never noticed... I'm happy she came out. Self love
I love Raven, she's 24 years old!!!
love herrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr omg
omg its the guy from everybody hates cris talking!
She's the cutest! I want to be her friend!
i luv her - she's so funny! =)
love her.
I love raven
