100 Years of Black Hair | Allure

Black people's hair is BEYOND diverse! And the fact that they needed at least 2 models to represent some of the decades, just proves that!

Proud of my black hair 😊😊😊

They're slaying these hairstyles but please specify that it's the history of black hair in America :)

I remember I wore braids to school people said I looked like Medusa and laughed at me. I was rlly angry cuz it took me 5 hours to get done but I kept it in because I thought I looked beautiful with my braids, whether the white boys at my school laughed at me or not 💖✨

Straightening black hair wasnt just a style; black women couldn't get work unless they did. That still goes on today.

I really want people at school to stop touching my hair without my permission

Y’all missed out on a lot of trends: The beehive for the 60s, the curl set for the 70s, the perm rod set for the 80s, the swoop for the 90s, the flipped bob for the 90s, the Bantu knots for the 90s, the lace front weave for the 00s, the colorful wigs for the 10s, the crotchet braids for the 10s, the “wash and go” for the 10s. You coulda gone a lot more specific.

When I go to school and have box braids everyone is like “ THAT’S FAKE HAIR “ and i’m like it’s on my head not yours

The fact that people are offended by this video is so funny to me. Black women have been put down for literally everything until this very day. Now when we get representation about us and historically how our hair has been and the different styles we've had throughout the years, y'all throw a fit. And for what? Black girls get teased for our hair ALL THE TIME. And when we try to uplift ourselves and each other because we finally realize how beautiful we really are, you guys get so butthurt. Black people in general are always targeted and have always been looked down upon, give us a break. Let us praise each other and be proud of who we are. Thanks.

black women are so beautiful!

can we talk about how gorgeous these models were omg

People in the comments saying it wasn't rebellion 🤦🏾‍♀️ It WAS. They were tired of such Eurocentric ideas forced upon them so they let their hair be to show it's normal. Rebellion DOES NOT equal bad all the time

It really blows my mind how people of other culture and color can come to a video that is CLEARLY about the Black race and feel some sort of way when they see a comment praising or appreciating Black culture yet put a remark saying it’s racist, it just boggles my mind. 🤯

I am black, dark, 4C natural afro and I am beautifully God's child. ^~^ Ain't no one can stop me.

I’m really pissed off when people think they can police other women’s hair. F off everybody. She wants it to be natural and you don’t like, look somewhere else. She was a weave and you don’t like, look somewhere else.

I don’t understand why certain people have watched the video and then proceeded to read the comments if they were going to be offended about black people: -praising black hair -asking for their hair to not be touched -asking non black ppl to not wear our hairstyles Like who really forced you to watch the video?😂

When a black person is called beautiful I ask that you don’t say “well everyone is”. We know that but we’re not going to say “everyone is beautiful”. If someone called you beautiful then someone turned around and said “well everyone is” then it defeats the purpose of calling you beautiful and making you feel better in your own skin

So, I tried to share this to Facebook and it told me: "Your message couldn't be sent because it includes content that other people on Facebook have reported as abusive." What about this is abusive?? I don't understand....

I love how the “stunning, traditionally African hairstyle” is just the base for a sew-in. I guess they thought no one would notice 😂😂😂

Black woman are amazing, stand up for who you are and never change, your beautiful! <3
