The Dove Hair "Love Your Curls" Commercial Will Break and Mend Your Heart!



1BlessedNatural: The Dove Hair "Love Your Curls" Campaign Will Break and Mend Your Heart 
Only 4 out of 10 curly haired girls think their hair is beautiful.


Yesterday, Dove Hair launched the "Love Your Curls" campaign that featured a commercial that will make your heart melt! The commercial begins with heartbreaking interviews with 5 little girls who have kinky and curly hair. The little girls, ages 5-11 state that they do not like their hair because they think straight hair is better. You could even see a couple of them pulling on their curls to illustrate the type of hair they desire. Dove teaches us that the best way to instill self-love of their curls is to be an example of it. The parents take their children outside, dance, and celebrate their hair. Dove asked the parents, family members, and friends to get together and surprise the girls with a song and dance party to celebrate their natural hair.

The expressions on the little girls' faces were priceless! Everyone had curly hair, including the DJ. You see the little girls whipping their hair back and forth like Willow--too cute! They sang "We All Love Our Hair (Love it, Love it) ." I was teary-eyed by the end of the video. The song is by Hey Jackson (JD Leblanc) featuring Sophia Bastian.

I think the The "Love Your Curls" campaign is an awesome one. The commercial is an illustration of what many of us kinky and curly-haired women have gone through. The interviews of the little girls, in the beginning, represent the type of attitudes that many of us natural hair lovers had growing up. Those feelings often times start during childhood and if unchecked, goes into adulthood. When you turn around, you wonder why your start perming your hair in the first place.

 The Dove Hair "Love Your Curls" (video)

Dove Hair was correct that we have to lead by example and show that we love our hair to encourage little girls to love theirs. Saturday night's OWN network documentary called "Light Girls" bought up a great point about the standards of beauty constantly changing in America. I see it slowly changing to include natural hair. I see more women with natural hair in commercials, ads, video games, etc. Kinks and curls are becoming mainstream. This is great because little kinky and curly-haired girls need to to be able to see themselves on television and other types of media. The Dove Hair "Love Your Curls" campaign is highlighting and adding to this fact.  Kudos to them!

What do you think of the Dove "Love Your Curls" video?

Aborigines and Melanesians: Naturally Blonde Hair and Dark Skin

Melanesia: Solomon Island girls (photo courtesy of the -cropped-Flickr- Australian Civil-Military Centre http://www.acmc.gov.au/ ) Naturally blonde hair is often associated with white or Caucasian people. However, there are groups of dark skin people who have naturally blonde hair also. Some of these groups include the Aboriginal Australians (Aborigines) and the Melanesians. I love this fact because it goes against the idea that one group or culture must look a certain way or stay in a certain category.  The Aborigines have dark skin. Some of them also have blonde hair which tends to be straight, but can be curly. Scientists first believed they were descendants of Eurasians. In 2011, scientists found evidence against the theory from a sample of natural hair. The sample of hair, which was said to be more than 100 years old, helped scientists determine that Aborigines were descendants of Africans. The New York Times confirmed this finding: "The Abo...

Sheryl Underwood Wears Natural Hair and Apologizes on The Talk

1BlessedNatural: Sheryl Underwood Wears Natural Hair and Apologizes on The Talk (photo cred: CBS/The Talk) Yesterday, comedian and talk show host, Sheryl Underwood wore her natural hair onstage of the talk show, The Talk. She received a round of applause, and Sharon Osbourne commented that her Teenie Weenie Afro (TWA) was gorgeous. Underwood explained to her fellow co-hosts and audience that she'd done something wrong 2 years ago when she spoke against the actions of Heidi Klum for keeping her sons' Afro hair in a bag as a keepsake. She said the hair was "nasty." Underwood received backlash for her words, especially from the Black community. They were viewed as examples of self-hatred among other things. On Monday's episode of The Talk Sheryl Underwood apologized a second time for her 2013 statement by saying this: I made some statements that were not only wrong, they hurt our community. When I say, "our community," I mean Black ...

Priscilla Shirer Shares Her Natural Hair Story and Tips on IG Live!

Actress and minister of Going Beyond Ministries Priscilla Shirer shared her natural hair story and secrets on IG Live today. After receiving numerous questions about her long thick natural hair, she decided it was time to do a video. Shirer said, "I've decided that sometimes, to a woman, hair = ministry." Shirer started getting a perm at about 13 years old. During previous years, her mother would use the hot comb to straighten her hair. When Shirer was 24 years old, she noticed a circular patch of hair that had broken off on the side of her head. After she visited a doctor and they plucked a few strands from different parts of her hair, the doctor concluded that Shirer's hair was growing in healthy. However, it was something that she was doing to her hair that was making it break off. As a result, her doctor told her to stop relaxing her hair for 6 months. While driving home, Shirer had a breakthrough. She originally had no intention of following the doctor...
