NONE OF THE ABOVE. This video was OBVIOUSLY created by someone who’s trying to let people know that “Yak” hair is not human hair, even though it’s sold as such. The video also shows how people have an “attitude” even when they are OBVIOUSLY in error.

I would be one of those who really don’t know where weave comes from. I am 33 and have never worn a weave. I’ve had perm, but never a weave. I don’t know what weave is made out of, but I assume unless it says human, natural means it comes from some type of animal. Even if it comes from yak, I am sure there are not flies all around the hair by the time it gets to the salon. I am sure it is cleaned and processed and safe to put on your head. I just don’t get why the woman had to pull a neck rolling finger waving attitude towards the end.

I’m tired of black women being the brunt of jokes and everyone else thinking it is cute or funny when black women are stereotyped and generalized as nothing but angry and full of attitude.

You left off an option:

“Comedy fail.”

It’s just not funny. Poorly executed.

As a white girl who is mystified by the black girl hair thing (I am always asking my black GFs the most ridiculous questions- MY BAD- just wanna know, yo!), that is just STUPID. Not even funny corny, just stupid. However, I did get my Google on after watching it. HA!

I’m thinking that part of the problem lies with the fact that it’s white folks (at the yak farm) who are presented as the voice of knowledge and reason. It’s as if the white folks are educated and knowledegable while the “sassy” black gals in the barbershop are not.

I think it would be interesting to see the tables turned. Let’s have some smart well educated black college professor types giving advice to some rednecks.

Not all black women have worn, or ever will have any interest in wearing a weave either. We are all individuals and they just lump into to a neck rolling, bottom shaking, loud mouthed, category. This is almost as bad as the commercial where this guy is on a bus and tells a young black woman to get up and shake her junk–not funny.

dara the difference between white women and black women getting weaves are that the weave for white women is their own hait texture whereas black woman use caucasiod/ mongloid hair.

i wish black women would let the weave go but as soon same some black girls are un beweaveable and self hating

Didn’t find that ad funny at all! I actually found it offensive and racist as an African-American woman. It depicted us in a negative manner. African American women are not the only women in the 21st century who wear hair extensions and I thought everyone knew that! Come on…Black women in the beauty salon and Caucasian people finding the answer to the question.
