‘Oh thank you …
‘Oh thank you Babarah’ at the beginning seemed a little sarcastic. Dont blame her… Babarah thinks way to much of herself!

@ANTM55 true it …
@ANTM55 true it definately has everything to do with “conforming” to the white standard of beauty not necessarily “wanting to be white”…however their is an embedded inferiority complex in black women thats why so many of them are quick to say “she has good hair”

Whoppi is confused …
Whoppi is confused she backtracks. Long flowy hair (white hair) is seen as beautiful because the majority have it and its everywhere. Its accepted as the most beautiful. Black women then also want to have what is seen as beautiful hair.
If it wasnt to do with being white, then why would weaves come in blonde and celebs like Tyra, naomi etc wear them?

To say my eight …
To say my eight inches of natural hair is “unmanagable” is wrong. I can twist, braid, cornrow, flat twist, two strand twist, blow out, spiral curl, and even straighten sometimes my hair. My hair is great and healthy. AND VIRSITILE!!!! We just dont know how to deal with it. Product FOR OUR HAIR is amazing and makes it easy as pie to style!

Well I saw the …
Well I saw the documentary and it was okay. But I think that a woman that is confident in herself and in what god gave her is repectable. Face it its fake to wear weave. wther your Black white or hispanic!

if you see 100 …
if you see 100 stringy haired blonde running around flinging their around and america calls it “pretty hair,” where does a nappy headed fit in? come on. been like this since the beginning of time. i dont think black women wanna look white. they just wanna look cute. you go to salons and all they say “og gurl ma heir is so cute.” thats all. everybodys hair pool is different. the nappiest hair can get relaxed and look cute. the nappiest hair can get relaxed and fall out.

If that were the …
If that were the case, then black people would be profiting off of other black people’s insecurities. That’s not the best thing for our community either.
Same thing in the US. Arabs and Koreans own black haircare stores. I don’t mind giving my money to someone who deserves it, but we basically give away our money to other people in order for us to voluntarily harm ourselves and our hair. Not worth it imo. The amount of money black women spend for their hair in general is just plain sad.

I think the issue …
I think the issue here is the amount of money these women are spending on their hair and who profiting from it?
In the UK most of the black hair and beauty shops are owned by non-black people. It would be nice if our black communities had a piece of the pie. Billions are spent on black hair products and weaves yet we are still very poor as a people.

Btw, I hated Chris’ …
Btw, I hated Chris’ documentary. I felt like he was making fun of those women, like “Oh, those silly black women. Doing possibly lethal things to their scalp. Let’s all snub their primitivity.” What a loser for calling attention to a sad epidemic and not questioning WHY black women do it. There’s so much pain and history behind black women and their hair. The insecurities upholding the black haircare industry are infinite.
I apologize for all the comments. I’m just completely digusted.

Plus, both Whoopi …
Plus, both Whoopi and Sherri make it appear completely acceptable for us to put damaging chemicals in our hair. As if burning our scalps and permanently impairing our hair follicles is just the plight so woman who are so unfortunate not to be plague with naps have to deal with. There is really no way to justify putting poison, like lye–a chemical that’s used to be clean clogged pipes–into our hair. There is no way I’m going back to that.

My straight hair, …
My straight hair, although it “looked good” and was socially acceptable was absolutely disgusting. I either had to wash it within a week because the grease made me feel dirty (basically a waste of 60 bucks) or not wash it so I can kkeep my straight hair for longer (although I got horrible dandruff). Oh, and let’s not forget the smell. My hair always smelled like burned grease. It didn’t smell anything like my floral shampoo. *That* not my kinks definitely made me feel unfeminine.

Further, black …
Further, black women who wear wigs or weaves and straighten their hair and claim they do it for managability also aren’t exploring what “managability” means. So what if you can’t comb through it? Maybe you weren’t meant to. I wear my hair naturally, and I put the *least* effort in my natural hair than when I had to with my relaxed hair. I will never waste another six hours of my life getting relaxed, blowdryed, fried, and then overly greased.

Straight definitely …
Straight definitely isn’t the only way to look feminine. None of them really know what they’re talking about (considering they’re all tv talking heads and not sociologists, by a long shot) when they talk about Africans, hypothetically speaking, trying to find ways to straighten their hair. I call bullshit. Africans style their hair in various ways that *don’t* include a comb. They dye it, they braid it, whatever. Madame C. J. Walker was an American product, not an Sudanese or Ghanan one.

Wow. For once, I …
Wow. For once, I don’t agree with Whoopi.
Black women get their hair straighten for a multitude of reasons. More often than not, it’s tied, whether directly or indirectly, with our culture’s standard of beauty, which just happen to be eurocentric. Straight hair is not the only way to “look good.” Ugh. WTH?

I think black …
I think black womens hair is beautiful whether in curls or if they straighten it.
i just don’t understand *confused*
i think black womens hair is beautiful
look at vivica fox, whitney houston, gabrielle union, mel(from spice girls) i am sorry but i do NOT understand i have black friends and they do not have extensions and they are not mixed with any race and their hair is just shiny and beautiful i’m white and my hair is not the straightest i need a flat iron like everyone else
