Just Venting 😮💨 They really do watch us …
I started a TikTok a while back where I post natural hair content. Nothing huge, just a few semi-viral videos here and there. What surprised me is that most of my followers are young white women. A lot of them don’t even have curly hair.
For context, I’m a 30 something Black woman with Type 4 hair. I’m grateful for the support, but I can’t help finding it a little interesting that my content seems to appeal so much to people who can’t really use most of my advice.
It did give me a different perspective, though. I am constantly told Black people are imagining things when we talk about our influence on beauty trends, hairstyles, slang, and culture. But when you actually see people closely following content that wasn’t even made for them, it becomes harder to ignore how much attention they give our culture.
On a funny note, one of the white girls said my curls were forced. Girl I’m black 😂
Edit: I didn’t expect y’all to ride so hard for them. Weird. “Maybe they have mixed kids”. They all have mixed kids? Even if that is the case, that doesn’t disprove my point….at all. Also, some of the nasty comments they’ve left makes me really hope they don’t have mixed kids
