What In Da Hayle?! - Typef Youtube Channel....AA Hair 'Care" vid

Perhaps they are conveying the message that just because someones a "professional stylist" or anyone claiming to be professional doesn't mean you should listen to them and "BE YOU" with satirical humor? Since this is suppose to be about being different? And at the same time mocking actual real, professional stylists? I dunno this doesn't seem real.:perplexed

I just hope that people aren't really following the "advice" from these "licensed" stylists.
 
Okay so I went on her website and saw this

You can tell she is the type of person who wears weave all the time and never takes care of her hair underneath. Hence the jacked-up-edness of her hair. So when this Type F called she was like oh I don't have a perm I can do this even though she hasn't got a god damn clue what she is doing.

After watching the videos featuring the hair models, then watching the videos featuring Tyra, then watching the "behind the scenes" video of Ty baby and Andre:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7pT3NbITio

I am convinced it is not 100% the models fault. It is the fault of the director for the format in which they are expected to shoot these videos. They want them to do it in almost one take, of course under 3 minutes, and the studio in which they are doing this video is very limiting. You can't do the styles that they are trying to do in under 3 minutes. To do a full head of twists you need at least 1-6 hours, but the director aren't going to give them the time needed to complete the style. So I blame the director more than anyone else.

For all we know, the models had no idea that this was the way that these videos were going to be shot until the day they rolled up on the set and they said *** it, I want that check so they went ahead and rolled with it. Who knows but all I know is that the women are more than likely doing the "best" they can given their situation...

That awkward silence at the end of the "How to Determine your Hair Texture" video has got me dying a slow, teary-eyed death. I keep on rewinding it...laughing at it till I almost pass out...click a different tab to do something else on the internet...and coming right back to it...
 
Whenever I would see a natural out in public looking like this:

110925-125116.jpg


I would always thing to myself...."she must not know about the natural community on YouTube".

I stand corrected, I see now that some may know....they just don't care. :nono:
 
Has anyone seen the series for "curly hair" yet? I saw a few of the videos last night, and I was left scratching my head. I'm 100% sure the black lady demonstrating how to style curly hair is wearing a long blonde curly weave! It's so bad, my husband even knew it wasn't right. I just showed him a clip and he said it looks like soggy wheat when it is wet, and crunchy hay when it is dry! :lachen:

She never combed it at the roots, and when she combed the hair...the scalp moved from side to side as if her sew in was loose and about to fall off at any moment if she tugged too hard. She kept referring to the hair as if it were her own hair, but I think it was misleading considering it looks so obviously fake at the hairline. She never parted it either! And to top it off, her closure looked strange. I think she would have been better off calling the videos "how to style your extensions" or something like that. I just couldn't take her seriously. Plus the styles never looked different at the end of the tutorials. It looked the exact same way at the end of the video as it did at the beginning. And the weave is more of a loose wave pattern..not curly. :nono:

Here are some of the videos from the "curly hair " series...

Ok, they are not trying to investigate anything. That first video was one of the ones that I watched a few days ago. Why are they re-uploading these videos?
 
As I watch these videos, I can't stop from laughing on the outside and crying on the inside. Joanne is really funny, especially with the poses and last remarks. But her advice is scary. I'm glad so many people are vocal about the content quality of the videos on youtube. At first I thought about the new naturals who might stumble across these vids, but I'm sure after reading the comments, they know not to follow her advice.

And the lady with the blond mop on her head should plan her speeches. "My hair gets wet when wet things touch it"? DUH... That vid had me dying LMAO!!!

I don't get why Tyra wouldn't personally oversee the content of her own venture. I understand that she may use Demand Media, but she could still review the content before it goes on her website. You don't have to know a thing about natural hair care to realize there is something off about these videos. People looking a HAM, not showing finished results, and giving off the appearance of not really caring. I just don't get it.

i sorta see where you're going but it's not the fact that the videos are short that's the problem. the state of the stylists' hair and the crazy, downright wrong, and useless advice is the problem. whose fault is that?

i love the comedy relief but inside i'm still like "laaaaaawd i hope no one stumbles on this and thinks this is a representation of what healthy natural hair or curly AA hair is supposed to look like". but i kinda feel like the video quality and general delivery (joanne's bits are clearly scripted) lends this stuff a lot of credibility and will draw some unsuspecting newbies or foreigners in because of it :ohwell:
 
Call me crazy, but I actually might try the face freckles thing. I think freckles are cute. They run in my family and I have them on my hands, feet, back, arms and legs. I wonder what they would look like on my face. Hmmm...not sure if I will be going out of the house like that, but it would be interesting to see what it looks like.:sekret:
 
The most important tool for this look would be .... EDGES!!!!!

Chile go find who or what snatched yo edges out an wheel and come agen
