Knee Length Reveal.... *le sigh*

[blackbarbietea]

I enjoyed the video, but I wished she would have like made the video were it didnt look so fake like. I dunno but something about this video was definately off.

It's real. plenty of people know her.

 

[blackbarbietea]

In older vids I remember she did wear buns, braids, bantu knots. Lots of styles, many of them protective.

She had a cornrow video up last time I looked.

Can you imagine bantu knots on knee length hair. That's stupid rediculous. haha. Im trying to figure out how to braid my hair for my next install. cos it's harder to do it with long old ends sticking out.

Yikes...Absolutely lovely!

 

[pureebony]

Vaseline hhhmmm im off to experiment!

 

[silenttullip]

That is IT!!!! I'm going back to grease and vaseline it never hurt me shoot when I used it my hair was elbow length or mbl and now I'm trying to be as natural as possible and my hair ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Watch just watch lol but anyway her hair is amazing

 

[MissLawyerLady]

Wow! That's some GORGEOUS hair!

 

[againstallodds]

She's my hair hero

I'mthinking vaseline might not be that bad mmm.....

I agree with @Neith and @wavezncurlz. Knee length hair is uncommon regardless of race. I recall reading that most people can achieve waist length to classic length hair. Knee length is considered an extreme length that most won't reach.

I still feel inspired by this girl's hair because she is the first person of African descent that I've ever seen with loose, non dred locked knee length hair. It gives me hope. Also, you'll be surprised how long your hair can grow. My hair now reaches a little below the top my pants pockets and this is the longest it has ever been in my entire life. Just last year I would have never thought my hair would one day touch my butt. So you never know.

I think if more Black women knew how to properly care for their hair you would see a lot more waist length and longer hair. Waist length hair is not super long and is a length many if not most people regardless of race can reach.

ITA
I read that too. Most women don't even attempt to grow their hair passed BSL less try growing to MBK or WL much less try growing to CL-KL so most women will never know what their true term length is.
I suspect for most it is around CL, but if that's the average I'm OK with it

 

[SouthernBeauty]

Wow that is some beautiful hair! My Mother in law and her sister have a similiar reggie with vaseline and they are waist length and butt length. I havent tried it yet but I am thinking about it!

 

[Whimsy]

Good oooga mooga!!!

That hair.

It's like a thick curly curtain.

So gorgeous!!!

What a blitch that must be to detangle.....oh my gosh she must run through a bottle of conditioner each bloody wash day.

 

[MissMusic]

There are plenty of ladies on this board who use vaseline. One hugely successful natural is Chicoro.

 

[Phaer]

OK, I am on it!!

Yep. Nexxus shampoo and conditioner and melted vaseline for sealing.

Also, she used the maxiglide to straighten when she wants the straight look.

(I have a good memory )

 

[celiabug]

oh my gosh!! i want hair that long.. i think It seems like a lot of work but its soooo pretty!!! i dont know.. maybe when i meet my goal ill decide to keep growing to that long!!

[vainღ♥♡jane]

her hair is so pretty. ♥

 

[Lynnerie]

The reason vaseline, mineral oil, and petroleum get a bad rap is due to the fear that putting too much on the scalp might clog pores and thereby stunt growth. But as long as you are not smearing gobs of vaseline on your scalp, I don't see the problem. In fact, the consistency probably makes it the perfect sealant. It's probably how this young girl doesn't have much breakage.

Double Thanks! Vaseline is the perfect sealant. It never hurt our hair when we were little. If my hair wasn't being pressed, all my mom used was water, some blue grease, and a brush and my hair was fine. Sometimes its best to go back to basics.

Actually Chicoro switched to a thick un-petrolatum product. But I think any thick consistency product like a butter or thick oil or PJ will give the same sealing effect if used correctly.

That girl's hair is ultra-beautiful. I'm sure it probably reaches her calves when fully straightened. I wonder if she'll keep this length or keep going till it hits the floor.

 

[nzeee]

OMG check out this little girl's KNEE LENGTH reveal

YouTube - My Knee Length Reveal

This little girl's mom used to be a member here at LHCF (I miss her, she was hella funny) and I remember when she had to take down her daughter's hair videos because people were sending them hate mail and saying stuff like your daughter is not really black, she's mixed Can you imagine? Anyway I was drooling over her hair. I don't know if I would ever want knee length hair, but dayum it sure it perdy!

with all the talk today about hair p0rn i revisited this thread really really wanted to see the video again.

but it's gooonnneee! waaah!

how sad. if i remember right the mum was having trouble w/ stupid comments and people's negative attitudes so maybe that's why? such a shame. her hair was an inspiration for sure. too bad no one took any screen caps.

BostonMaria do you know what happened?

 

[joy6899]

it was removed b4 i could see

 

[Burbujas]

Too bad it was removed, I wanna see as well what you all are talking about.

 

[angelica_lisa]

Me too - would had been nice to see

I wonder for the little girl whether age is a factor...since the mom was taking care of her hair, and her hair wasn't exposed to the environment and chemicals for as long as the average adult has, she had a better opportunity for her hair to flourish.

I don't, but my guess is that she was receiving hate mail again. Her daughters hair is absolutely beautiful. Some people didn't like her regimen (vaseline), others accused her of being mixed, etc it was a hot mess. I can only imagine how people treat her in real life.

She usually waits a few months and uploads her daughters videos again on YT so I'll do a search and try to find it.

too bad she took the video down- i was trying to get a glimpse!

 

[Roux]

I saw it way back it was amazing. Of course there was tons of arguments over her hair type and her race...smh. Regardless of race or hair type knee length hair is IMPRESSIVE.

 

[Cherokee-n-Black]

I would have liked to see it too. I can't imagine "hate mail" about her daughter's racial make up....strange. I can't see her to speak intelligently on anything except that I believe anyone's hair can continue to grow ad infinitum, if proper end care is maintained. Black women tend to have more challenges than most in keeping the ends from drying out or snapping off due to friction. If genetics play a role, it is likely in the hair structure/ability to withstand environmental and physical stressors. Race mixing (which can and does occur before the parents) explains the wide variance within the race. It's not rocket science.

This is exactly I think we have to stop using these terms like "biracial" and "mixed" to describe people with parents of different races. It just feeds in to stereotyping and assumptions. So what if someone's mother/dad is white or asian? I mean, really? In almost all of our family trees, someone had a white or asian (native american/Indian from India/chinese/japanese etc...) mother or father. Having a parent of a different race might mean they have straighter hair, it might not. It might mean they have light skin, it might not. It might mean their hair has an easier time growing, it might not. Just as any of those things could be true of someone with two black parents. It's just an attempt to separate people of African descent who are united by historic discrimination, by creating false distinctions among us.
