The Evolution of Natural Hair On Screen | MANE | NowThis

36.6% relaxer drop in sales over a 5 year period! Me and my 2 daughter's are all natural now and we do NOT miss relaxers. We're never relaxing our hair again and we're all 4b/4c.

I would love to see our local tv anchors wear their hair natural, one girl wears a curly wig and the other wears her hair straight, I'm a minister and my hair is 4c and I rock it. I do get strange looks even in church but it's ok.

Where are the 4C ladies?!? This episode is not representative of everyone .

There were many people, especially African Americans. wore their natural hair in the 19070s , but for some reason that trend declined after the 1970s.

Umm.. we can’t divorce the issue of colorism and texture. First of all, every member of the panel is fair in complexion. The juxtaposition of adjacency to whiteness and the ability to rock Afrocentric styles is not lost on most naturals who see and experience a disparity in treatment. It isn’t a coincidence that Tracy Ellis Ross’s big hair is received differently than Viola Davis’s. It is hard when even as we try to have conversations about the reality of natural hair the people included in the conversation are those with privilege.

Yaaaasssss! Talk about the need for 4s. I love the realness and truth.

I'd like to see and hear from a dark skinned 4c sister added to these shows.

Btw London UK tv anchor, Charlene White has 4c natural hair and she is beautiful. She went natural last year. Sooo proud!, dark skinned like me too.

All 4 of these ladies are gorgeous!

I love the girl with the braids style, clothes, mannerisms, hair, all of it.

This movement has to reach Brazil eventually. Every girl I've met straightens their hair every day here, and most people here are a mix of Native, African and European. It isn't healthy, physically or mentally....

1:30 Where my Trinis at?!? 😭🇹🇹

4c hair is beautiful hair 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😍😍😍😍

I love how its being featured more on TV!

Just skipping over Whoopie Goldberg huh? SMH okay. I don't need or care if a white girl "understands" MY hair. I just need them to understand that you do NOT have the right, ESP if IDK you, to put your hands in my hair WITHOUT permission & that my saying "No. Don't touch my hair" actually IS MY right. That's it.

definetely need to talk more about the dark skin 4s

Natural is beautiful

It’s crazy because listening to this video it makes me feel like our natural hair is like a foreign object. Growing up in the late 60s and 70s wearing our natural hair was so normal and very easy to take care of. I’m really shocked at how now and days our natural hair has become made difficult to manage amongst our queens and unacceptable to the professional world. Going to work or school we rocked our natural hair with pride because that’s really all we knew didn’t have a choice unless you talked your parents or yourself into ither going to the shop for a relaxer or buying a box one. It was a choice not a movement or a trend. I went back natural 6 years ago simply because I just got tired of going to the shop and wanted to go back to when life and my hair was easy. Y’all this is not a trend or a movement!! It’s our doggone God given Crown we have embraced it and it is definitely wanted on my head period.

YES! I LOVE THIS BECAUSE OUR 4C GIRLS DON'T GET THE RECOGNITION THEY DESERVE AND NATURAL HAIR IS JUST AMAZING IN GENERAL.

I’ve been wearing my hair natural before it became a “thing”
