KGB "Natural Hair extensions"

[naturalglory041490]

As if the commercial itself wasn't offensive. Several black women were sitting in a hair salon one of them was getting extensions and asks the beautician what type of hair was she putting in, and the beautician replied "i dont know it just says natural." so then the woman asks what are natural hair extensions and the lady sitting next to her types the question to KGB asking where do natural hair extensions come from. The people searching discover they come from yaks "which does kind of explain yaki hair" anyways, the woman that was getting the extensions says "uh uh, you aint gonna put no yak extensions in my weave!" or something to that affect...yup...i was highly offended. Sorry all just needed to vent a little!

They have commercials for hair extensions? And also I've heard that the term yaki does come from yak hair being used in human hair extensions/wigs. I've read that they also use camel hair and other types of animal hair as filler.

[naturalglory041490]

[silvergirl]

i dont wear extensions, nor do i speak like that. im not offended at all.

 

[naturalglory041490]

you have a very valid point silvergirl...i didn't think of it like that (although i have worn hair extensions )...

 

[unique4lyfe33]

[*Happily Me*]

it's so extra

 

[Platinum]

I can't stand this commercial.

 

[Boujoichic]

I saw this commercial the other day and I was offended. I was thinking wow they really did this this is out of hand.

 

[Auburn]

I dont find it offensive at all. I can see this being asked/said in salons.

 

[prettybrowneyescutie]

ummm.... how should I say this.
I this was terribly offensive. I think I will leave it that.

 

[InTheWind]

Here is the commercial in question. I can't believe they would put this on TV? And its advertising At&T or some texting service not hair extensions.

 

[Digital Tempest]

Wow. Are they serious? I've seen a million of these commercials, but never that particular one. I don't even know what to say.

 

[1QTPie]

This commercial is sooo stereotypical, but I still laughed.

 

[Kay.Dee]

it was stupidly funny I suppose
I could see why it would be offensive to some (not necessarily me)

 

[Likeyouneverseenme]

HI-larious!!!!

 

[Desarae]

That was funny. I guess.

 

[Priss Pot]

Yeah, the woman's expression was extra at the end, BUT I can't get overly offended at the commercial.

I mean, Black women do wear weaves and often do portray that stereotype. We are the #1 consumers in the Black Hair Industry, spending billions of dollars a year.

 

[dachsies_rule!]

it's so extra

I agree, that was too much!
