She is on mortal kombat annihilation her name is Marjean Holden
I stopped using relaxers because I was tired of paying the money and I didn't like how my hair felt "dead" and I was always hiding my hair from water/sweat. Later, I learned about all the "extra" chemicals they put in our products ('specially made for black hair') and the increased risk of fibroids and that sealed the deal for me.
creamy crack clean for 13 years...ain't going back.
Yea I HATE the dead feeling
Hair feel so limp
Bet you still eating the chemical filled "foods" though.
@@tias.6675 I eat organic and feed my family organic and take binders for the chemicals in the environment. Hey, nothing's perfect sis, but we try to do our best.
When I was a little girl in the 90’s those relaxer commercials was EVERYTHING! I wanted one so bad but grandma said nope. She took out that old school hot comb and called it a day!! Lol!!
Smart lady
She went old school on you, sis.
I am glad we are going natural. I have been natural since 2005. Plus Her hair was naturally smooth and didn't need perm. But, they didn't tell you that.
Exactly!!!
Well said
Right, she doesn’t even look fully black.
You can tell from the texture she did not need a relaxer.
The old bait and switch been fooling people for years! LMAO
I love these vintage ads. ❤️ Relaxers were all the rage in the 90’s. Now many of us have gone natural.
Yes indeed sis. I have been natural for 6 years now
Yes, I'm almost 11 yrs natural..never going back 👍🏾
Many of us have gone Bald from using that Poison.
I love my natural hair, but I miss my relaxer honestly. I preferred the lye ones though. The result was much more shine and volume! I miss being able to put curlers in and go. Detangling and moisturizing takes forever. And my hair grew faster when I was relaxed too just because low porosity natural hair is hard to keep moisture in and breaks easily.
And many are now going back relaxed lol.
She know she don't need no relaxer!
EXACTLY! That is why these kinds of ads are farces - used to dupe black girls into thinking they can have hair like this
😆
@@christophertracy2807 😆
Facts, she's not a black woman.
😂😂
I'm a sucker for vintage commercials. 💙
same!
I 💕 them too
1990s is vintage? 😲 Now I feel ancient! Lol
Vintage like fine wine.
Im in my late 40s I know im old 😆 I watched it when i was little too
I refuse to consider myself "old" or "vintage." And the word "ancient"....I'm running from that! LOL!
I'm Seasoned, with a little Kick!
@@jamelewiggins7683 lmao your a trip 😃
@@jamelewiggins7683 I use the term seasoned too lol
Im glad "Natural" is "back" in style! Whew!😊
My hair fell out from that relaxer.
The Hairstyles on the box were seen in many office cubicles during late 80s & 90s.
They just wear straight wigs now 😄. I remember when grandmas only wore wigs 😄.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@lashid4u371 Chemicals are not it was still our natural hair. weaves isnt natural either.
The lies we were told! This woman had no relaxer. Wow.
Sis, we didn't know that then. Either models were mixed, or wore wigs and we believed or wanted to believe our kinky hair could be made to look/ react like models. After Billions of dollars later in addition to incredible hair and scalp damage, and, in some cases irreversible damage we now realize how gullible we were.
@@msvida121 I knoooooow! Generations fell for it. My mom took me for my first perm when I was 12 and we went to the salon every 2 weeks… Only when I saw my HS graduation pics at 17 did I decide I need them redone with a weave. My hair was so flat, thin and stringy. That was another mistake. I am so glad this younger generation seems to have learns from our mistakes. I’m 41 now and I don’t know anyone that relaxes their daughter’s hair. Most people I know went natural years ago.
It’s just a shame that they used to advertise relaxers with women who don’t have relaxers. I remember thinking it was absurd when (I think Clairol) had Beyoncé as their model when (at the time) her hair was all blonde weave. How is she representing your hair coloring kits when she hasn’t used it? She just got a blonde weave? But that’s par for the course when it comes to black hair products. Just lie.
** I know Beyoncé has gone natural since then. This happened in the early 2000s
@@Boobalopbop I mean most colour kits are false advertising anyways, weave or no weave models have their hair coloured by master hairstylists and the box is simply placed in the ad
@@Kubulek17 I realized that when Beyoncé started modeling for Clairol. I just KNEW it was not possible that Beyoncé would let box dye anywhere near her, lol. And this was the early 2000s.
But this isn’t the same, in my opinion. Had they had a black woman who actually didn’t have perm but whose hair was straightened some other way, I guess that’s not AS deceitful as just putting an Indian woman whose natural hair is straight and pretend she uses a relaxer. Like I’m positive the children on kiddie perm boxes have never had relaxers. No way. Knowing what we know now, I just don’t believe it.
@@Boobalopbop I know this is old but you were right a bunch of those kids on the kiddie just admitted to not having had a relaxer in their pics.
i remember this Too Well. My Mom was A Beautician for 36 & Our House was her Beauty Salon for the first 10yrs. So i remember taking out the Trash & Breaking Down All the Relaxer Boxes. I remember Excelle
Wasn't she an extra on A Different World?
Yes I think she was the girl Ron brought back to their apartment during homecoming week. Dwayne brought back a girl that same episode.
@@A.Light33 Oh yeah,you're right! That's her. Thanx :)
That's a mixed woman!🤣😂🤣😂 🐑 🐑
I remember her!!!
Her name is Marjean Holden and she was on the movie Mortal Kombat annihilation
@@chrisnas1483 YES!! I looked at all the mortal kombats and that was her. I knew i knew her face.
@@rosiebrooks7685 😁👍
We need to dead relaxers and any other methods/tools used to straighten our hair. Our hair is nappy by nature and it does not need to align with the hair of people of other races.
This is when the shift moved from truly dark and lovely to the ideation of lighter skin and straight hair is better. I am glad to see the movement back to natural. Black is beautiful!
🎶 Just let your Sooooul Gloooow!! 🎶
Reelbiracial 🤦🏿♀️
"Ruining young black girls self esteem near you!" ..... ladies your natural african hair texture is beautiful.
The "Perfect Wife" From The Fresh Prince Lol 👍🏾
She appeared in an episode of Smart Guy and A Different World as well.
@@jonathang6522 oh Word ok👌🏾👍🏾
@@alfredcowans880 Actually, it was The Steve Harvey Show rather than Smart Guy. I got it mixed up. I had a crush on her as a kid. Lol
@@jonathang6522 Word💯
Always loved the commercials that came on while watching SoulTrain back in the day... Thx reelblack!
Oh My Goodness! You are so right! I loved watching Soul Train with my older Sister. ♥
Watching the real soul train 🚂 .
Them box 📦 curls back in the day will take your hair out to for real.
OH YEA HALF THE SISTERS ARE BALD TODAY..GREAT PRODUCT...
Her hands big as hell
She's an amazing actress and stunt woman
That relaxer was da bomb 💣
I went from relaxed to texturized to natural to locs and I love it… glad my generation started appreciating how our hair naturally grows and just learn how to maintain and manage what God gave us. Good hair is Curly Coils!!! That is the original!!!
Beautiful woman. I didn't notice her hair.
Beautiful woman! 😍
Gotta Love Nostalgia 👌🏾👍🏾💯😎
I doubt she actually used a perm she doesn't even look black. They use to always use mixed women to promote these perms back in the day and have you delusionally thinking your 4c hair would look the same. 😂
I remember she used to show up randomly on "A Different World". Still fine too.
I read an article that said most of these relaxer models didn't even relax their hair. Most of them just had wavy loose curly hair that was blowdried and flat ironed.
Who is this actress?🙂
Marjean Holden
She also played Venus on The Bold and the Beautiful in 1989.
she co-starred on the Beastmaster series too
I remember that girl from a different world as one of Ron's chicks. She played extras in a lot of 90s sitcoms.
What destroyed our natural hair loool
Ron Johnson's date on ADW
I was born in 1991 I know nothing of this lol nice to watch though lol 😂
Hi.
My whole nervous system just popped!!
True beauty
🖤🖤🖤👑👑👑🔥🔥🔥
Natural 💪🏽❤️
I remember her from the TV show BeastMaster.
Transvestigation videos are not conspiracies after all ...bam!
Somebody is a fan of The Mag.
True alot of sisters have gone back natural..but now alot of sisters constantly wear hair weaves sold from the heads of women from the gentile nations, if not some cheap synthetic other materials..so they still have us in a bind in that area amongst many other.
Lies
BLESSED DAY STAY SAFE
Real black huh? 🤣
When these commercials first came out and I knew what a relax was. I wanted the “nice flow he hair too”. But when my mum got finished telling me the business🤦🏾♀️ Lawd hammercy this skin creepy Crawley wanted to have hair like a white girl went and sat her ass down somewhere🤣😩Mama was having it
Good to see a classy woman!
Now that is a beautiful black woman right there
🤦🏿♀️
She’s clearly mixed. Black where?!?!
@@TheLovesnowangelBlack where? She’s obviously half-black, yes we know the other half too.
🌸👸🏽🌸
If a white person with dreads is cultural appropriation could someone explain to me how black women straightening their hair or wearing a weave isn't cultural appropriation.
straightening hair isn't trying to be white
You must be young
I agree. Let them have their stringy, dead hair.
It’s not cultural appropriation because straight hair does not belong to any specific racial group. This has to be one of the dumbest comments I have ever read.
@@sherriehill219 Explain to me how dreadlocks belong to a specific racial group when there's historical examples of it in Indigenous Australians, Tibetan Buddhists, Hindu's, and the list goes on and on. See how quickly you went from saying "this has to be one of the dumbest comments I have ever read" to finding out how ignorant you actually are. I usually charge to educate students but since I'm in a good mood I'm going to let it slide, but just this time.
I ain't gonna lie I miss getting a perm lol but I love being natural too.
Lol
Lol, that is a man in this commercial. If you don’t believe me, that’s ok, but you may want to check his neck, and ears. Women do not have necks that wide. They been using transgender women in old tv shows and movies since May West. Thank you for this video.
Her name (the actress in this commercial) is Marjean Holden. She is not transgender. She has been in several movies and shows. Yes, in the commercial she does appear to have a thicker neck than some women, but that is not a 100% conclusive way to determine gender, sex and sexual orientation. She has given birth, naturally, to a child.
I was thinking the same thing. She looks manly. Its not just her neck, but her face too. I won't be surprised if I'm called a "hater." If you say anything bad about colorist black men's "preferences" you're considered one. 🙄
@@BradsTrashIsTyronesTreasure91 Leave troll!
@@Zazen777 I understand you’ve been given a particular story about this actress a.k.a. actor. The pregnancies of transgender women, that are presented to the public are usually done by a surrogate woman. Can I ask were you there when Marjean Holden gave birth? I can answer that for you, no you were not. You need to understand you’re presented with a narrative given by Hollywood in the media about this person in this video. This is a man in this video, and this person is transgender. You have to look at the male anatomy on this person and you can see it’s a man by looking at the hands, neck, and shoulders. Women have sloping shoulders and men have more broad straight across shoulders. I wasn’t gonna respond to you at first, but I didn’t want people to think this really is a woman. You can research what I’m talking about, and see that most of your media stars, and news anchors are transgender. Once again, I mean no offense to your reply because you’re just told a narrative that was given to you. I hope you have a blessed day.
@@BradsTrashIsTyronesTreasure91 Hey by the way you’re not a troll, you can just see through the illusion in front of you. That is a man in the video that you’re looking at, and that’s not a woman. They do not believe in women in Rome and you live in Rome.
