Edited at 2018-04-27 08:17 pm (UTC) It's all just a little cringe-worthy when she looks like whiter than Blake Lively...she could at least acknowledge her ability to pass rather than act like she shares the struggles of Gabourey Sidibe. Reminds me of Paris Jackson almost.

I mean she’s not wrong and that little bottle isn’t even enough product for one wash of my hair. Nicer hotels have nicer products that aren’t full of detergent like something you’d get at Hampton Inn but they aren’t ever going to care so like pack your own stuff???

I love how for PoC and black people we either focus too much on the non issues as opposed to REAL ISSUES!!! or we care too much about everything and need to stop pulling the race card, can't win either way

To be honest, not knowing anything about her, just looking at her, I wouldn't guess she was anything but white. So I was initially confused as to why she was personalizing the issue (which she's quite right about, btw).

they definitely changed the formula prior to catering to people with 1A hair types (🙄) but its best to avoid the bottles that say "for all hair types"

It is. They changed the formula to be 'more inclusive' of the whites even tho 90% of hair care items in the store are already targeted to white people.

Obviously there is a lot of diversity, but a good portion of non-white Latinas have lots of hair issues, too. We have thick (THICK. like specialty hair ties, clips, and bobby pins), frizzy, curly, unruly hair that soaks up product like nobody's business, takes 24 hours to dry (but don't even think about blow drying unless you want to defy gravity), and an hour to flat iron. Granted, when it's styled right it looks amazing and easy to take care of, but that's only because you used your own tears to keep down the flyaways.

I'm a white passing mestiza and my hair is very curly, like i spend a lot on products to mantain it, and only looks very good when i wash it (twice a week) besides that it looks frizzy and with too much volume, not the same at all with what afro-latinas have to face of course but there are some struggles tbh.

I guess it’s because I grew up around nothing but black people, but it seems obvious to me that Halsey’s a nigga. Like, even tho she’s super light you can still see that melanin. That’s why I wasn’t shocked to find out Kane Brown is black too, he just looks like he is.

MTE. My hair is straight and fine, as far from black hair as you can get, and I don't touch hotel products. Hotel shampoo isn't made for white hair only, but for no hair at all.



I'm also a bit confused by the "some people aren't in the financial position to bring their own products" comment. Can't they just grab the stuff out of their shower at home and throw it in their suitcase?
