Where can I watch this? i missed it and it looks so interesting. Can't seem to find it anywhere, where might I watch this?
 
Yea i missed it too. I dvr'ed Fox while it was aired on Mynetwork. Tyra comes on on two channels at two different times in NYC.:rolleyes:

Anyway, I found that it is airing again on May 15 at 5am on Mynetwork so i will dvr that one.
 
I am settin reminders for tyra tonight at 11 pm and 12 am. Hopefully one of them will be it. Anyone else, I really want to watch this although I know I will be cringing because I hate when black folks get on tv and talk ignorant, part of the reason I don't watch Tyra. On the cringe factor it is an eight.
 
I want to know when it re-airs. I literally got to see three seconds of this b/c my antenna was acting crazy.
 
I am watching the episode on TV right now and I am soooo mad at the lady who put a perm on her 3 year old's head and she was crying!!!

Okay! That's it I am going to the park and recreation to start a class on doing African American girls hair..... I met a lady yesterday and she asked how I got my child's hair to look that nice because I don't put all the barretts and stuff but let her wear it out and she said she wishes she would have known how to do her daughters hair so she wouldn't have to perm it...

This is really sad!
 
I only just saw this. Tyra is annoying and her guests are too! Someone needs to send her a link to this site, it might have saved her (and us) from doing this show!

ETA - Just saw part 2 with the kids, it is so sad! How can you perm a 3 year old kid's hair???

I saw this yesterday. Those poor little girls made me cry. I wanted to slap some sense in the chick with the "white girl flow." Couldn't believe the mom who wouldn't introduce her daughter to people because she went natural. The show was pretty pointless.

it was pretty pointless...especially the 'makeover' at the end

I can't get over that white woman putting weave in her biracial 8 year old's hair because it is 'easier'
 
I'm at Part 2 as I type and one of the Moms' relaxes her 3 year olds hair! That's just TOO young.
 
I just watched this too. This is sad, but I think it revealed that there is a problem. I wasn't taught how to take care of my hair. My mom had no clue. It was constantly said that I had bad hair and my sisters had good hair when I was growing up. So, my mom slapped a curl in my head to "manage it". I don't even know what my hair looks like natural! Thanks to this forum, I am learning how to manage my own hair (transitioning) as well as my two daughters' hair. My oldest made a comment that her hair is ugly and she wants hair like her bf(caucasian girl). It was hurtful because I've been fighting to get her hair to grow (and thanks to this forum...it seems to be coming around). I have to constantly reassure her that she has wonderful hair, but mommy has to learn how to care for it to make it grow healthy. Since I've been lurking in the forum, I've stopped using "good hair/bad hair" terms. I even correct my friends and educate them that it's more of a lack of understanding on how to effectively take care of our hair in a natural state. I think it's even sadder when we become like the lady who was so ashamed that we won't even introduce her daughter to people. WOW!
 
*Ugh* I hated watching that particular show! Instead of getting guest to discuss "GOOD HAIR" They brought guest who sat and argued about "THEIR HAIR" being "GOOD HAIR" And how Tyra choose to wear her natural hair out, was as if she didnt want to represent a relaxed individual...I found that pathetic :nono:...Also was it me, or did it seem like every single relaxer having women on the show was just plain o'l ignorant? I couldn't believe the dumb chick talking about how her hair is considered "GOOD HAIR" because she had the "WHITE GIRL FLOW" :lachen: OMG! Seemed as if they turned the world on relaxers...I wish I was on the show, I would have broke it down for us relaxer having women :yep:

I missed it when it aired on t.v. (work) but I watched it on youtube...I believe it was cut into 6 parts.
 
I've never seen it, purposefully. A friend of mine asked me a while back if I had seen it and this was my response.

I gotta say....I'm really not a fan of the way Tyra handles most topics lol. She seems to bring certain topics up for shock value and sensationalism but I rarely come away feeling like the underlying issue has been addressed and 'll just walk away feeling sad or ashamed that there are clown a** black ppl like that running around.

I like the way Oprah conducts her talk show much better, I feel its much more adult more profound and at the end of the show, you usually feel you learned or grew somehow. One consistent practice Oprah has that sets her apart is that she realizes when she puts a certain topic on her show.....she gives it power and she's very careful and measured about empowering ignorance....thats why she never featured KKK members on her show again, thats why she didnt re-play the columbine episode. I feel that Oprah and her show is a much more responsible entity in that respect so thats really the only one I ever watch.

How can Tyra speak on the topic of good hair when homegirl spends 99% of her time lookin like this--->http://www.topnews.in/light/files/Tyra-Banks.jpg ?? What she gonna say? It's wrong to have a euro centric concept of beauty? lmfaoo

She just consistently comes off disingenuous and more concerned with the ooouuu ahhh of the audience then actually helping them grow from the experience. The way she regularly squandors great opportunities to send a positive message frustrates me to no end.

That being said I dont hate her at all.......its just as a talk show host I find her sorely lacking.

I didn't watch but did Tyra ever ask the question: Where did you learn to hate your hair?

No because she never asks hard hitting questions, she just exposes ignorance, fans the flames of outrage for effect and just let's it sit there with no resolution.

The better question is where did she learn to hate hers?

Tyra Banks speaking on the topic of good hair tryna tell women to let go of their complexes is like getting a lecture on the virtues of organic holistic and healthy living from Amy Winehouse.

Once again, I don't hate Tyra on the contrary I think its absolutely wonderful what she's managed to achieve and admirable she seems like a wonderful lady. But when it comes to black self-love of our god-given features she's not a role model in the least.

I've only seen one episode, it was the one where the women were using skin lightening cream on their kids, that one made me so angry and I could never watch it again. I'm interested in hearing/seeing the reviews for National Real Hair Day episode on Sept. 8th. I don't know how seriously she will cover the topic of 'real' hair considering that Perez Hilton is one of the guests on that particular episode.

There are some very strong feelings out there for Tyra. Such as this particular fb group: http://www.facebook.com/search/?q=tyra&init=quick#/group.php?gid=16913988668

Oh no:nono: thats WAYYYY over the top. I don't hate her at all I see her as a driven motivated hard working beautiful sista who could definitely be professionally admired or even as a person because she seems wonderful, but when it comes to embracing natural black beauty and our god given features she's the last one to look at and should really be the last one to speak on the topic.

I agree:yep:! There's something about Tyra to me...It seems as though she "tries" but goes about everything all in the wrong ways, Like doing Top Model for women under 5'7"...Its great, don't get me wrong, but who in the "fashion world" would book these girls besides JCPennys, and Kohls sunday circulars:spinning:? Lol and she won an Emmy over Oprah?

Oh no. I wasn't trying to imply that you hate her. Just that there are strong feelings about her out there. Even one of our LHCF sisters has a siggy in which Tyra is referred to as a terrorist.

Some people absolutely LOVE her and some folks can't stand her. I exist some where in the middle. I like the "homegirl from Inglewood" approach but dislike the horrible "reporting." I LOL @ shows like Talk Soup & (what used to be) The Best Week Ever when they show clips of her show & they are all about Tyra talking about Tyra. I remember her saying she wanted to be like Oprah. She's got a loooong way to go before she can do that. I'm in such shock that she won the Emmy! Over Oprah! Over Ellen! Wth! /rant
 
I just watched this show today. I was so angry with the mom who decided when she was 11 years old that she was going to have a baby by a man outside of her race. Her daughter is half latino. Then to teach her daughter that people with kinky hair are lower class uggh.

The bi-racial mom who (dd dad is black) who relaxed her daughters hair and put a weave in it.

I was happy to see the mom who's daughters was 6 years old with natural hair (ponytail twist) who stated her daugher was too young to get a perm. but the daughter didnt like her hair, she wanted to have hair like her Hannah Montana wig.

The lil girl with natural butt lengh hair who wanted her mom to just cut her hair because the kids at school teased her and pulled chunks of her hair out and told her, her hair smelled like boo boo.

I think more shows need to expose this hatred We has black women have for our natural hair, the more it gets talked about the more accepting it will become for natural hair to be deemed as beautiful to our children.

I am noticing a lot of commercials that feature black women with natural hair in twist, WnG, etc.
