Natural Hair The Movie | Explore The Struggle of Hair Identity Among Some Black Women

Whether I'm soft curly or dead straight, I still experience racism, so as I grew older, I did a big chop, and I just don't care what anyone feels, this is how God made me.

"OUR HAIR IS SACRED!"

Our hair is the most diverse hair than any other group. I love my people and seeing my sisters embrace their natural hair is amazing to see. Our hair reaches towards God and it grows beautifully, I am not ashamed of being black nor my hair people can imitate me but they can't out do the doer.

I loved this documentary, being a black women can be hard at times. I am learning everyday that our brown skin is beautiful. Thank you for this ❤

The amount of women saying I don’t mind when being asking can I touch your hair need to mind cause it’s giving petting zoo! Stand up & set your boundaries

Self-esteem is so important. ! All Shades of Black is Beautiful!!

I don't know why I'm just now seeing this, but I'm glad it popped up! What a great documentary! I've been wearing my natural hair since before what we are now calling the "natural movement" and way before the "Good Hair" movie came out and I have to say I was laughed at by my "own people" when I started rocking my fro back in 2002! I was relaxed but I got divorced and just decided that I didn't want to relax my hair anymore, so I didn't! But I saw the change coming when other black women started asking me a few years later, "How did I get my hair to do that?"! So, I just shared with them what I was doing and watch the metamorphosis over the years to come! ;-) Oh, and BTW as a "black female computer programmer" in corporate America, I got the looks, and the questions about touching my hair, and I'm sure there were discussions (behind my back) about me wearing my hair in an afro, but fortunately for me at the time, the company I worked for didn't have a specific dress code and I was always dressed professionally, so I think that's why they just let me be. But I'm a "baby boomer" and I have to admit that I have reverted back (just a little bit) by at least putting my hair up into a bun for an interview when I changed jobs, but once I got the job, I rocked my fro! LOL

This documentary brought tears to my eyes. It' is so well done. This should be nominated for an Oscar and should win. There have been other documentaries done about black hair but this one covers it all and lifts us up. I'm light skinned and even though I grew up with so called good hair I used to texturize my wavy hair to make it straighter. I stopped doing that 20 years ago and have been natural and loving it. I don't do weaves. I used to color my hair bleached it blonde until I lost a patch. Stopped doing that. I do color my grey but I use all natural henna. No chemicals at all. Its not healthy. Its nice to come full circle and embrace what was given me. Bravo to all who contributed to this wonderfull documentary.

I'm even more proud of my parted afro after watching this film. I've been rocking it for 5 years and cutting off that relaxer is the most self-loving thing I've ever done.

I loved this documentary and will send it to my grandchildren. It's sad the Black women of today are dealing with the same problem as we did in the 50s and 60s.

I love this. Remembering when I first went natural, how black women criticized me. Now, look at how we're embracing our blackness and hair texture. ❤

The woman with the burgundy braids is 100% correct. We have to teach them manners❤.

The woman who spoke about people of no color feeling like they were entitled to black peoples bodies was speaking facts. Anybody touching you without your consent is wrong…

I think the real issue should be freedom of choice. We don’t need to feel like we must be one thing or another. It’s our hair. We should be able wear it however we want without judgement or repercussion.

My hair is sacred. This was well put together, really uplifted and inspired me

This was awesome! Stand strong sisters. Embrace your natural beauties. Style your natural hair, be proud of the color of your skin. Stop allowing a prejudice, jealous, ignorant system brain wash you. You are Beautiful from the inside out.

You make me proud to be black. Well done documentary. It's a must to own our distribution!

Who cares what other people think about our hair. You wear your natural hair proudly. B1✊🏿

Never give away Black Culture keep your culture and the economics that go with it. ❤

My hair has been natural for over 30 years. I used to wear weaves as well, for the best part of am shamed to say.over 15 years Then I realised I didn't even know how to look after my own hair, and didn't like how I looked without my weave in. I realised I had to embrace my own beautiful hair. I stopped wearing weaves, and learnt how to look after my own natural hair. I even began to make my own hair products, and that is the only thing I use in my hair. I love my beautiful natural hair And I wouldn't change it. Our hair is beautiful, and we as black people need to embrace our beauty. The black cosmetic industry is worth millions, and who do you think owns and runs that market. The white man, the Indian man. They now make wigs with baby hairs. Can you believe that. GOD designed us this way for a reason. Black is beautiful and our natural black hair is beautiful...
