Good morning, my son is getting more active, I tried to cut out his noises but couldn’t cut everything because this is real life! Let me know your thoughts!
After watching Chris Rock's Good Hair documentary, I can tell you - we women have an intimate connection to our hair. I would encourage every woman toward her natural beauty and lightly highlight your natural features. It's going to be different for each woman, but that brings out the beauty in all of us. ❤
In general, fillers and botox will also create further dependency on more intervention. Aging naturally is far much better. This seems to be the theme. We women need to get back to natural and hold ourselves and women around us to this standard. ❤ Love what God created.
Loved your take on this🫶🏽 I’m learning to embrace my differences which shows diversity! It’s actually a very beautiful thing to have so many different kind of people with different features, it shows the beauty in the Lords creation. It’s been a journey for me embracing my own uniqueness but the older I get, the more I see it clear as day that there is beauty in diversity.
Lol 😂 I begged my parents specifically my dad to please please please let us get a perm. He wouldn’t allow it. But he did let us straighten our hair. Now I am thankful he did not allow that.
Yesss same with me, I can have an addictive personality too so I probably would have been the one perming as soon as newgroqth showed up 😂 perming waaay to often
5 years ago I loc’d my hair because I felt very strongly about accepting what is God-given. I wore my loose natural hair for a period of my life, but the maintenance was not my preference. I’ve loved my locs since the first day I installed them and feel proud of the journey.
I have an 11-month-old, so the baby noises don't bother me at all. I find them nice. I love hearing little ones in the background. On this topic, I really actually have a bit of a different experience. I have always felt pressure to figure out how to do the conventional beauty thing. I am terrible at makeup and maintaining fake nails is just not my thing. Every time I have ever gotten weave or anything, I've just missed my hair. But I've always wished I was the kind of girl who did those things/was good at them. I've told my husband on many occasions that I feel like such a plain woman compared to others. This video made me consider a different perspective.
You are blessed beyond 😂 that must mean you took care of yourself not to really need it! I started out wearing makeup because I ad bad skin and hair because my hair was short and I wanted long hair 🤣 and awe 11 months?! They grow so quick. He is just now finding his voice and it’s the cutest thing ever 🥹
First off, you look amazing!!😍 Giving off effortless and glowy🩷 The shorter curly hair looks SO good to me as well!I’ve always been more of a less is more type of girl. And I truly believe if more women learned to embrace and nurture whatever they had naturally, they’d actually FEEL and look better physically. I do feel that the excessive makeup/heavy lashes, lace fronts (which always look unnatural to me) blinds someone of appreciating who God designed them to appear like. Does this mean that if you enjoy these things you’re automatically insecure ? No. That depends on your own conviction. If one felt similar to the way the woman in the video did after stripping off the extras, then yes that’s a problem. I really think of God as the greatest potter. Every feature is fit for us! I believe this explains why when people make certain cosmetic changes (adjustments to their nose, chin, eyes etc) they are still unhappy. Our original features are superior. God already made us right and whole. We have to operate in that.
Hit the nail on the head! I agree completely and I mentioned ethnic nose jobs and how it doesn’t look harmonious when taken too far and too small because you wouldn’t see it in nature but I took that part out 😅 your curly cut is so cute and fits your face perfectly😍 and thank you! I’ve been wearing brighter color because it makes me look more bright vs the nudes
I just felt so compelled to tell you that your hair was so so so pretty and gorgeous in those pics! The pics where you said you didn’t wanna wear weaves and was wearing it natural. So pretty !
I watched Good Hair in high school when it first came out. Back NO ONE was natural. I finally did the big chop in 2012 and been natural for over a decade. That was also the timenI became a new born again Christian so I stopped wearinf fake stuff too. Being more natural feels so good. I like how I can run errands or go to church and feel pretty based on a nice outfit and not feel pressure to wear make up.
Wow, big props to you for doing it when it wasn’t popular! It takes courage, although I’m not surprised it happened after being saved because the Lord gives us courage 🙌🏽 that documentary opened my eyes so much!
You really discuss great topics Gwen! I have worn wigs for years and it’s taken a toll on my natural hair. I started back going to the salon for silk presses to begin wearing my natural hair more with extensions. Now I’m taking the initiative to do my own natural hair and learn how to replenish it. My hair has been through alot because I didn’t see it as beautiful and I think the older I get the more natural beauty is more beautiful. I even wear less makeup to enhance my natural beauty more. It’s a shame how the mass media can persuade you into thinking your own beauty is good enough.
This is spot on, it sounds like my journey to be honest hahah only I never got into wigs but I was heavy into sew ins! The older I get the more I want to enhance my natural beauty more too 🫶🏽 praise the Lord for that and your are so right about the media 🙄
I really love this topic. I definitely believe in taking care of your natural hair and natural self (nails, skin,etc) first. For me wigs/hair is an accessory and I make myself Feel beautiful with or without it BUT when I was younger I definitely went through those same emotions and I went through a whole spiritual awakening to overcome those emotions
Awe thank you so much for your support 🫶🏽Mine happened in my late twenties, I wish it happened sooner for me! I’m glad it’s more of an accessory for you and it can also aid in hair growth when taken care of properly! I think the message I wanted to give mainly is to make sure we don’t neglect what’s underneath while utilising these things!
I’ve given up on my hair. When I was younger, my dad forced our mom to give us relaxers. He would yell if we didn’t have one. I tried to go natural in high school but my dad would insult me and say I didn’t have good hair like my mom. Then when I got to college, I started pulling my hair as a nervous tick. I ended up with a bald spot bc of that. I shaved my hair twice to try to regrow my hair evenly but each time I ended up with a bald spot right at the crown and front of my head. I hate my hair and I’ll probably be wearing weave for a long long time. Thankfully my BF understands and doesn’t make me feel bad. You don’t know how many times I heard “just stop pulling”. He’s allowing me to figure it out at my own pace.
Oh my goodness! I’m so sorry you had to experience that. Especially coming from someone so close to you smh! I am happy to hear that your bf is supportive and a safe place for you while you grow and heal from that trauma🫶🏽 it’s never a one shoe fits all🤍 thank you for sharing that with me
What a confirmation for me😅 God spoke to me about wigs over 2years ago and I haven't worn them since, lol and for the past couple of months he has been talking to me about makeup 😭😅, it's been a tremendous challenge, I have been off makeup in fasting and prayer, lol and your video just popped up 😅 oh boy, it's such a confirmation for my prayer points and questions regarding makeup.🙌🏾🙏🏽 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
This! I literally installed locs because my hair became an idol. I wouldn’t do certain things (like go to church) because my hair wasn’t done. I had to learn that I take better care of ME when I’m honest with ME 🤍
There is also another side to this that we don’t talk about. You are a very fair skinned black woman, with loose natural hair who is married to a white man with a biracial baby. There is a lot of societal privilege wrapped into your life as opposed to a black woman who is constantly judged and ridiculed for her deeper skin tone and tighter curl pattern. Also, I see you still straighten your hair which is not your natural pattern. (Not saying this is negative, but pointing out something that someone else can deem as “artificial.”) It just makes me wonder how much we don’t discuss how much influence Eurocentric beauty standards have pressured us black women. I’m so tired of it. 😫 Why don’t most of us feel beautiful with shrinkage and curly/ coily hair vs long straight hair? Maybe it’s a deeper issue…. I would love to hear your thoughts on this. 💕
Great points! These are up my alley and I may not talk about it on here but in my real life I talk about how society is influenced by Euro beauty standards A LOT🤣 I have been going down a rabbit hole and digging deeper to find out the root cause of why I even straighten my hair. I think for me it’s been a process(little by little peeling back layers) and the first step which was HUGE for me was giving up weave. Honestly I think a lot of it has to do with brainwashing because It’s really weird. When I started wearing my natural hair it was always white people(hubbie included) who said they preferred it curly and black women who said they prefer my hair straight which I thought was weird. It’s interesting really and a deeper issue. From the talks I have IRL I don’t think the euro influence will go away. I think it’s up to us to showcase the Lords diversity and embrace the diversity. That’s starts with not covering it up or even straightening it(talking to myself too🥹) I think the Lord has been dealing with me in this area and Lord willing I will start embracing my curly hair more and learning how to manage it so it’s not high maintenance. Also, I know you probably think my curls are loose but I don’t think so 🤣I have very much so kinky/tight curly hair. And to the privilege, maybe there is but also I think sometime it’s what you make of it too. Straight hair isn’t the only long hair, tight coily hair can be long, it doesn’t have to be short unless it’s your style. One of my fav hair girls is Patrice Marjorie, she has beautiful type 4 hair that she tends to and has long hair because she’s taken care of it. She is also brown skin and rocks her natural hair and she’s gorgeous! I’m not against artificial, clearly I have poly gel nails on, I just think if you want to wear things take care of what’s underneath and don’t neglect it!
These videos get me every time in the best way!! Not to mention you are living proof I noticed how gorgeous you are not because your natural beauty but I can see the inner beauty that has developed and increased over the past couple of years in year it’s been so encouraging to me as someone who wants to get better . So I do thank you for setting that example! ❤ love you girly
This is so helpful! I struggle with acne atm, I think makeup is a main cause of it. Which brands would you recommend that don't cause as many breakouts? :)
Suntegrity tinted moisturizer(love hate with them because they only have like 5 shades 🙄 BUT it has worked wonders for my skin. It is very sheer so it won’t cover bumps but when your skin clears it will be a nice glow) RMS Beauty or Crunchi for full coverage foundations I use Hynt Beauty concealer Au Naturale concealer Gabriel cosmetics for blush and liners And 100% pure also ha amazing products from what I’ve heard! I wash my face with Pacifica face wash(the green bottle). And stay away from face wash with “fragrance” in it! Apparently fragrance can hide thousands of chemicals! It’s in almost everything smh
I also suffered from acne due to makeup. The best skin care that helped clear it for me was good molecules. It’s cheap and you can get it at ulta. My skin looks so good now I don’t even wear makeup everyday like I used to.
To be honest, I don’t have any notable thoughts on it as of now but after seeing a video on this topic by a girl named Jasmyne Theodora it made me want to look further into it!
Lol exactly. 4c hair isn’t easy or accepted so wigs and weave are our friend. We still love ourselves naturally at home etc but our hair is our little secret and not everyone needs to see it cause they do not appreciate it❤
@@BlissedxI can empathize with you but in that same breath I think the time, effort and money spent on the wigs and weaves can be used to learn how to care for your texture of hair. There is 100% a learning curve at first but partnering with a stylist who knows how to care for your hair is a GAME CHANGER. Once you have the right info and your technique down you may even start to LOVE your own hair.
Not everyone hair is that easy to deal with daily. Not everyone want to deal with that struggle mess lol. As a 4c girl. I am always going to do what makes my life easier while my hair is still healthy and growing. No thank you on the struggle. 😊 y’all should do what makes you feel good.also it does not mean we 4c hair hate our hair. Just a all the women that put on wigs or extra hair.
@@naturallybeautiful9109 I agree on doing what makes you feel good and I definitely don’t think people who wear wigs hate themselves or their hair. I know sometimes it’s just easier and more convenient. I am not trying to be rude but you even referred to your hair as struggle mess. All I’m saying is examine your heart on the WHY you automatically referred to it that way. 4C hair is beautiful! And it doesn’t even have to be difficult to care for and style. Everyone has their own individual convictions and reasons but if the reason is because you don’t feel or think your texture is beautiful you can always pray and ask God to help you see the beauty in how He made you because he doesn’t make mistakes. ❤
