Yes, but it's probably due to a trend I'm noticing as of late, with natural hair becoming more and more popular.
I felt like the two darker skinned girls were kinda set to the side and shunned. And I just cannot understand this obsession with having curls. I post a lot of my hair pictures on my FB page and my hair has become 4c since entering my 30s. A lady at church who saw my pictures was like: "Oh, you lost your curl pattern."
She probably meant it to be offensive, not knowing that I am A-OK with it. Just my 0.2cents really. Maybe I'm seeing too much into it.
Unfortunately, I watched the video after reading your comments and so I saw what you saw. I don't think that the darker girls were shunned as much as they were "overlooked" or put to the side. I feel like a lot of this was done through editing. Some was done through interactions.
I think that there's a way for me to appreciate my curls without all of that gel.
I cringed at her telling them that they needed to tame their hair [so that it wouldn't get knots in it], but I liked her overall message. I don't like some of the words used to describe tighter textures.
That being said, I've seen a couple of people run workshops like this for young black girls (and their mothers) and I think it's a great idea.
