Our hair grows towards the sun like a flower š

Imagine needing a law passed to be able to wear the hair that grows out of your hair to work.

We get told we're "insecure" and "trying to be white" when we wear wigs and weaves, we get suspended from schools and fired from our jobs for wearing braids, and we get told that our afros are "unproffessional", "messy", and "nappy". It's almost as if we're not allowed to have hair. š

Itās the fact that these white girls wear braids, but we literally got kicked out of school for wearing them..
-
it's sickening that you have to have laws to stop discrimination about afro hair . š¤¦š½āāļø
-
We get insulted for wearing weaves by the same people who tells us that our natural hair is unattractive.
-
Why are long braids and afro deemed "inappropriate"? What's inappropriate about it? Is it a danger to society? Are people going to die if they see those hairstyles? Does it carry guns and shoot at people? I seriously don't understand.

People truly don't understand the psychological damage that comes with consistantly being told/shown that you are not allowed to wear your hair the way that it grows out of your head.

We need women with 4c hair that are unambiguously Black representing Black women on a wider scale.
-
Majority of the girls in this video have the curls pattern that is accepted in society.

Kids are getting detention for wearing their hair naturally or in braids/protective styles??? That is absolutely disgusting
-
This world is sickening on so many levels.

One of my friends used to work at Disney. They told her to remove the long braids because they were inappropriate. Yet a white man was able to keep his long locks.

It's amazing how they compared our hair to an animal. Meanwhile they are the ones who get lice.

Dear people: as an Asian from China who loves black culture they canāt keep straightening their hair, cutting it off, perming it, dying it, gelling it etc. to fit your standards. Not only does it damage their hair but keeps it away from the purpose of letting their hair grow. Black hair has culture and many knowledge behind it. Just because in YOUR mind straight hair is beautiful doenst mean everyone needs to have it. Thank u.

My hair has been fried, dyed and laid to the side in my efforts to fit in. But now I wear it in its natural state and I don't care who likes it, as long as I do!

āItās just hairā no the hell itās not

This made me cry. If only I had embraced my natural hair in high school. But Iām embracing it now and that is what matters ā¤ļø

My high school told me i had to take out my braids within a week or else iāll be excluded just because my braids were black to grey and they said that wasnāt natural. But they dont say shit when it comes to the white girls dying their entire hair pink or blue or orange and thats totally unfair
