Imagine...being punished for wearing your hair the way it GROWS from your head.

"if a white slave owner was jealous of her female slave's hair she could make her cut it off" that's so heartbreaking and disgusting

[leearnoux]

I felt that girls pain when the mom was braiding her hair

3:41 When you pretend to scratch your hair to see how much hair you have left to be braided.

The pain they are feeling while getting their hair done is so relatable 🤘😂did anyone else feel some of the pain while watching this? 😂

[darknessblip]

Black folk have the best genetics. Y'all rock that black girl magic.

Im probably gonna get some hate for this but that woman's hair at the beginning is like the "perfect natural hair standard " you know how the standard of beauty is fair skin light eyes ect? Well that kind of hair is like the standard in the black hair community. I feel like girls dont wanna admit it to themselves but 4c hair is rarely represented its always the 3c 4a 4b hair types. Many girls I know go natural in hopes of looking like "that" but end up realizing that their 4c hair is nothing like what they see on those natural hair pages (and also extremely difficult to manage) and end up feeling disappointed . I am very grateful of course for the progress (black ppl embracing their hair and skin ) but im just stating this as an observation **and yes I know there was 4c hair shown in the video I am talking in a general sense based on what I've observed **

[sydneyheim]

ok, that girls outfit at the end was so cute

[stacygordon]

when a black girl is doin ur hair is the real struggle everything hurts but they keep say, " IT DON'T HURT NOW PUT CHA HAN DOWN"

[umujalloh]

Us black people have been through a lot.
