    lol I totally AGREE! NAturl hair is WAY better to look at anyway

  • spice1616:

    so why dont you try going natural? Allow you natural texture to be free?

  • CYRINTHIA212:

    love your video thank you for speaking about this. i decided to go natural again about a year ago. and the products for my hair are expensive witch is crazy. alot of hair product companies are jumping on the natural hair waggon and they claim that thier products are natural but they aren’t.

  • hastious:

    80% more and still the most undesirable

    WOW!

  • Evens1:

    Essence and other sources have been selling Black females on the idea that men will not like them if they are natural.

    Then BFs turn around and blame BM for their own self hatred. This is WRONG.

    Go blame Essence and stop buying into their bull. Go Natural!

    If most would just go to the gym and REALLY workout they wouldn’t have to spend anywhere near that much. I mean really workout, not go and walk slowly on the treadmill while talking on the phone, not doing 5 crunches while giggling and laughing with friends, and not trying to look cute to the dudes there hopefully getting chose before they stop coming for good later that week…

    Ain’t that the Truth !!!!

  • V78thgz:

    Black Women need to quit wasting there money on Hair Products and getting there nails done and focus on :

    Going to the Gym and try losing some weight

  • hastious:

    yep yep

  • mrblackalchemist:

    That money is not being well spend they need to invest in a sandblaster for there faces

  • hastious:

    Shit They need to bribe some men to like them with that money.

  • mensmovement:

    This issue proves that women can’t lead men.
    Women are too worried about how they look. Yet, this is instinctive, because it’s a woman’s nature to attract a man’s attention. But, the problem is Feminism told her that she can do whatever a man can do. So now, all hell is breaking loose because she wants to look white. Yet, we black men gave her the afro to wear. We gave her the afro and declared BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL!!!!
    BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL!!!!
    BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL!!!!

  • MrSexyblackguy:

    Im glad you said that…Geez…Black women wont go to the gym for shit..

  • justinC504:

    A black chick i dated for like a week dumped me cause i would not give her money to get her nails done, but she was ignorant anyways.

  • vierra01:

    cottttt-daymn! 200 dollahs on hair??!!! wow

  • 1MysteriousWorld:

    bm don’t pay natural haired black women that much attention to be very honest with you, some do but most don’t

  • Atemaatra:

    Is it necessarily a bad thing that we spend more money on our appearance than other races? Our hair requires more care so we buy conditioners, moisturizers and shampoos which are more expensive than European hair care products. Plus our skin blemishes easily so we purchase more skin care products. If most African American women are ugly, i wouldnt know because i’m not African American. But most black women elsewhere are very attractive.

  • Lilart1981:

    Atemaatra) Ok first of all, “Most black women elsewhere are NOT very attractive.” There are some cuties out there though…

    Second, you’re missing the point, black women are spending money on the wrong things. How bout you buy a book, “self-help how to be a better mommy” self-improvement, etc.

    You’re saying that it’s ok to waste your money on Superficial beauty rather than Inner Beauty…

    No pun intended but, THAT’S NOT A GOOD LOOK…

  • sportschic1:

    I agreed with you until you said black women from elsewhere are not attractive.

  • Lilart1981:

    sportschic1) I meant that ALL black women elsewhere is not attractive…

    I was just proving a point to the chick that made that statement. She doesn’t really feel that ALL BLACK WOMEN are beautiful so stop making open-ended comments…

    That’s what’s wrong with people, they say the right thing but they don’t always feel that way which means that they are FAKE FAKE FAKE!!!

    I don’t like Fake people…

  • hermanglimsher:

    It is far more important for black women to:

    * lose the attitide
    * lose weight
    * don’t have babies with different men
    * don’t be ghetto

    than to spend on beauty products.

  • chronwell:

    Black is beautiful! Us Black men will still love yall without all that gook(makeup) on ya face and extended mess on ya head!
    Its sad tho, cuz most sisters cant see themselves as beautiful. I feel bad about this. The self-image is so distorted.
