The Hair Tales | Official Trailer | Hulu

Ahbleza Sellars: I can’t wait for this!!!! All the memories of the black women in my life doing their hair, braids, beads, flat irons, hot combs, relaxers, Afros, finger waves to heads shaved - Black hair is something special!!! Black women are something special!

Jessica K: “You don’t need hair to wear a crown.” The end.

Khalilah D.: I love this. We need this kind of representation ❤

00830616herman: I clicked on this and I initially thought people like me would be left out from this conversation completely. I am a black woman who has a rare form of alopecia called alopecia totalis but to see Ayanna on this trailer was such a great surprise and just her iterating those words, you don't need hair to wear a crown made me and I know people like me feel seen and not again removed from a conversation that we always get left out of. Thank you for showing the multi-dimensionality of us all.

Amira B Karaye 🇳🇬: The way she says “unlearning what we are thought “ we’ve come a long way. Alhamdulillah ❤️

Stacey: Can’t wait , Issa Rae definitely belongs here , hair is always on point!

Gabrielle green: Baby I cannot stress how much I wanna cry watching. People TRULY do not understand the hardship to this day black women experience based on how their hair grows naturally smh. Being Cuban of Ethiopian descent it has been a challenge to learn to love my fro

Alex: I'll never forget the day I went out with my shrunken natural hair for the first time. I had been wearing only stretched styles using rollers and stuff before then. When I tell you this was an essential step toward true self love! I had to admit to myself that even though I thought my hair was pretty, I was still ashamed to go outside with it fearing what other people would think. "How dare you?" echoed in my head, so I had to change.

Bubbles456: They way I didn’t know what to expect when I clicked on this, I wondered how would listening to black women talk about their hair be entertaining, by the end of it I dropped a tear I related to these women so much. Will definitely be watching

MAYKING: I love to see black women being proud of their hair and seeing all the amazing, creative styles they can achieve.

Omarlie Watkins: I wish my mom was alive to see this ❤. She relaxed my hair when I was 3 years old (right before starting daycare, I still remember the burns I got from it and how stressed she was about hiding all the scabs I got as they healed). As someone with type 3a hair she didn’t know how to handle my type 4 hair.

LK_ C: I actually don’t know too many Black women 40 and under that are still relaxing/pressing their hair as their #1 go to method. I think that’s progress.

LDR Cherry Cola: Grew up hating my hair, wanting white skin and blue eyes. I wanted to be loved so badly, but now I realize I have to start by loving myself first. I'm still on my journey, I have a ways to go. I know I'll get there ❤️

TTP: This looks so good. I am so happy that people are embracing their natural hair. I know it runs deeper than that and I am happy things are changing. Growing up in the 80’s & 90’s it was all relaxers and perms and if the hair was natural it was in braids. The natural hair styles these days. OMG! Wow!! Beautiful. Be you people. I know sometimes it’s not easy but it’s harder to be someone or something your not.

Jessica Chanae: The fact that this makes me emotional lets me know its more than just hair. It's history. Love this for us.

keeping it 100: I am black girl who had a love / hate relationship with my hair. I love my 4 C, I think it's strong, different, and beautiful. However, I hate how high maintenance it is and how easy it can break. I hate how long it can take to grow. However, I'm sticking to this journey and i'm seeing the beauty. I thank all the natural black women who are on youtube showing us their natural 4C hair and how full, long, and beautiful it is. I don't know why biracial women , who don't have 4C hair would be in this and understand our struggle with black hair and what we go through in society with our hair. i've never seen biracial women hated on for their hair. Anyways, can't wait for this series nonetheless.

MsJellybean1111: As a young girl, I’d always had thick, long hair that my mom constantly relaxed and straightened. I don’t blame her, she only did what she was taught. Once she went natural, that inspired me to go natural. One of the best decisions I’ve ever made❤

Maureen Hopkins: Your hair is beautiful, let it flow free!!!✊ stand true to who you are!

Jessica Tommy: They need to be interviewing whoever styles Chloe and Halle's hair!

Yenelly: In my country if you have afro hair and features it meant no job, no school, we could not wear braids to class, etc: It had to be straighten at all times. At 17 I finally learned that my hair is beautiful! and huge, and there is so much I can do with it. I'm not an African American woman, but I'm an afro Latina woman who related to every inch of this trailer growing up in my island. I remember Sundays when I was told I could not get in the beach because my hair was just straightened. and not being able to wear it down at school if not straight. and ADULTS telling me I had to keep it relaxed cause I HAD "BAD HAIR" my hair was relaxed since I was 11! with lots of activism this is finally starting to change in my country

Kaiy Marie Walker: I didn’t start loving my hair until my early twenties. I’m so happy young Black girls of today are getting the affirmations we all needed over the years

Koko: Wow this was needed cuz literally 3 days ago my little sister didn’t want to go to school with her natural hair because of how badly she was bullied at her school before I’m gonna show her this.

sadisticwinter: Teared up a bit watching this. All the different women speaking showed me how versatile our hair really is. Natural hair is so beautiful and I do also hope other races watch this with an open mind and try to understand what we've been voicing for years.

Lauren Tracey: I got chills.... Can't wait. Much needed conversation.

Elaine Barlow: Unlearning what we were taught. I feel that strongly.

Stay Sunny: The versatility of black hair is amazing!

M C: The uniqueness, creativity of it all is why ive fallen in love with my hair. The sky is the limit

Thembela Ndesi: My mom was at the store with me and my two nieces and asked my 11-year-old niece to get her a relaxer and she kept picking up the wrong stuff and giving it to my mom. I realized that she didn't even know what a relaxer was and that all she knows is afro/natural hair and protective styles. It was so weird because I grew up not knowing afro/natural hair, it was foreign to me because all I got growing up was relaxers. The natural hair movement has done an incredible job, I really thank those YouTube natural hair influencers who convinced me to do the big chop in 2007 and guided me on how to take care of it. I can't remember them now because it was so long ago but their vocies and actions have had a generational effect, thank you!

POTATOEYTHREESIXTY: Oh!! This is gonna be amazing for the future littles black girlies that are growing up, I got chills ❤

woobiesftw: Let the beauty out. Truly awesome, going to echo that everywhere

Your favorite Oompa Loompa: It makes me want to cry happy tears and one of pain but also relief. Once people understand how much our hair impacts our life maybe then it will be understood that our hair is not “just hair” it’s more than that. I will be watching this show. I hope it will help me I’m healing.

Zedan Saba: DEAR BLACK WOMEN, I LOVE YOUUUU <333 Thank you so much for being all that you are. The world would be nothing without you.

Bryar Pace: I can already tell this is going to be an amazing show and so very needed.

ItsCrazy: I pray for everyone who reads this that whatever they are going through gets better, whatever they are suffering with or worrying about will be okay, and that everyone has a wonderful day. Amen ❤

Laure ShiningStar: Who came up with this idea? Kudos to them!! This conversation about hair is much needed

Bmoe: Wear ur hair however. Relaxed, natural, wig, bald, buzz cut, bleached, colored, braids and all. Love is loving yourself however u want, be true to yourself. Follow your code

Aubrielle Robinson: This is definitely a message we need and one that hijos be told!! Can’t wait❤ I did a school project on the history of black hair.

CountessofMonteCristo: Chika!!!...My university is just filled with these magnificent afros. I actually felt embarrassed that mine is smaller but realised hey imagine how they felt but still showed out, so why can't you. It's the one thing we can claim. Love from S.A.

acay: Black hair is the most beautiful, versatile hair ever! I've worn mine natural for over 20 years love it! Can be troublesome at times but I like the versatility - up, down, open, twisted, plaits, natural braids - never done weaves or wigs. But yeah, all good.

Candice Allen: This made me cry. I'm so excited to watch this.

Hakima Alem: Just seeing this much representation is beautiful

Lynette Beckles: So glad to see a story that tells of our beauty and not that makes fun of who we are that speaks ill of us. We are outstanding.

vybzempress: “ LET THE BEAUTY OUT!!!” Amen

Something About Nik: I love everything about this!!!! ❤

Enzo Pontrelli: Tremendous trailer.

K: Someone else mentioned it below, but I just feel the need to reiterate: the situation with black women and our hair is truly mind-blowing & sad, when you really sit and think about it. Our natural hair is just part of how God chose to design us — something we have no control over. Yet society stigmatizes the texture of our natural hair (particularly if it’s 4a-4c), so much that we are all but forced into finding ways to alter how it looks if we want to get jobs or even just be treated with dignity. What other group of women/people bear that constant burden over the texture & length of hair that naturally grows out of their head ? It’s exhausting, expensive, and very isolating. That’s why documentaries & content like this that shed light on the situation are so, so needed.

Yaya: That quote at 0:48 really hit me. I wonder this a lot. I can’t wait to see the show!

Jai B.: I will def be tuning in with my tissues lol cause I already know it’s gonna empower and trigger emotions on the spectrum .

Terri: Loooooove the conversation! Kudos!

Melizza Velez: I believe very much that a production like this is VERY RELEVANT in todays society. Where once people would have made snide remarks about a Black Woman’s or Man’s hair, now they have been de emboldened by the hate that has been set free in our country, and they are daring to lay hands on children. They are using hair to make arbitrary regulations, rules, and limitations, and making the them with the sole purpose of separating one group of people from the other. Perhaps learning more about why hair is so important and complicated we can learn more about a people who are at the very heart of America.

Lavinia T Leonard: 5.3million views in 2 weeks? Spells EXTRAORDINARY! WE ARE SO READY! When does episode 1 drop?

Anitra Moses: I love this!!! I often feel left out of these discussions because I am apart of a group of African American women that still gets relaxers. It seems that we are sometimes beraided for this. I don't see any women on this trailer with relaxed hair. Maybe it will have women in one of the episodes.

Fozia A Anigbogu: 'You do not need hair to wear a crown' That's powerful

Dannee Boy: Definitely watching this once its out :)❤❤❤

T Brown: Very excited to look this up on Hulu and watch!

________: I’m so glad this is finally being told by women and not Chris Rock . I’m excited about this!!

Shaamya Dishner: This is dope and I'm all here for our FREEDOM!!! GIVE US OUR FREE!!!! MY 4C IS OUT IN ALL OF ITS GLORY!! Thank you Lord for my hair!

Sherri Garvin: It's on my calendar and I am looking forward to watching this docuseries!!! YESS!!!

stella akinyi: This made me cry , what a time to be alive

Radah: Growing up where I come from natural Afros is a norm where both men and women would wear their crowns unapologetically. When I came to the states I never forgot how some kids would mock that hairstyle with some of my family members who’d pick me up from school with their beautiful afros. I thought it’s natural so what, no different from the hair growing out of that creamy cracked head of yours. It wasn’t until I learned about the history of slavery and African American history that I understood some of misguided projections these kids had about their own natural hair. Looking forward to watching this documentary series and hearing others personal perspectives about their hair journey!

Alanis Scott: My Afro is a gift it literally defies gravity it’s magic

Jimmie💫🤎: I remeber vividly the day i decided to go natural...i cried when my sister cut my damaged hair and i was left with a small afro...then the youtube naturalistas really came through for me...by the next week i was in love with taking care of my hair and discovering my beauty in my crown....3 year later...i am still natural, in interviews, internships,meetings, special occasions...planning to rock my afrduring my graduation...i love my hair...and most importantly i fell in love with me ...all of me...and black is beautiful..our hair is really beautiful, Let it take that space.

Mute LarsOrhougbe4: DEF gonna be watching this: ‘stories of Identity, BEAUTY, HUMANITY.’ Love that

Smartchick: God actually gave us the good hair, because we can do so much with it.

Andru: After Chris Rock's good hair documentary, I am very grateful for this. Thank you so much. ❤

DaPopoloinParadise: So excited for this!!

Love McNill: Okay. I love seeing all my favs with natural hair looks.

Nawal Ali: THIS is amazing! I can’t wait black girl magic

Sydney Daviston-Atkins: This looks so good! Not like that mess of a movie Chris Rock made.

NaturallyPaige_: Will definitely be supporting this

FabFemmeTV: I’m so excited to watch this

Echaka Monjok: Ready for this!! ❤️

Teyonna: I love seeing natural hair styles instead of raggedy wigs for people of color ❤

SYD🦋🦋: I love this❤️❤️❤️

Clap with one hand: This way better than the bs wig talk Chris rock did.... This is how to encourage more black women to embrace their hair.

Luana Marques: This looks amazing!!!!

Shaheen Beeharry: Stigmatised and Celebrated, or Stigmatised and Fetishized? I think celebrated makes sense in the context of Black Women owning the power of their hair that was for so long an object of torment and shame for senselessly cruel reasons, but from an etic perspective I do think there is a legacy of Black Women's bodies and hair being exoticized which is yet another source of historical hurt. Conversations with intersectional nuance are so important and I am truly happy to see women of colour, particularly Black women, taking up space in all of the ways they deserve, hair and all.❤

Karla Lozano: "Baby, they know" (that she's black)... My mom was abusive. It's a miracle when mothers actually talk to their daughters like this.

Aishat Skndeep: I’m so happy to see bald women represented in this discussion!!

Rose Batts: This will be and is beautiful ❤️

Cat: I cant wait to see this!

Olive Olanipekun: I really didn't plan on coming here and getting teary-eyed, but you know what...

Nae Nae C: this comment section is literally beautiful and healing

For My Soul Sistas_Chaîne Chrétienne: Can't wait to see this ‍♀️

Bri'Anna Chavies: “My hair is my crown, I wear it well”

Valeria Reed: My sisters and I each had different hair textures…..wavy hair, curly hair, straight hair…..then my hair which was and is tightly coiled…..at the age of eighteen, I was given permission by my parents to have my hair cut and worn natural [no more straightening]…….from then on, I knew that was what I and my hair were all about……in fifty years I have sported some wicked cuts/styles………

Hasani MusicOfficial: Beautiful

Aisha Williams: The words I thought watch this were" so empowering "

Beast Logic: Beautiful ❤️

Karen Heyward: Love it

Charo Anderson: So no body is commenting on the fact that Ross has her own hair care line: she also doesn’t have coarse hair. Her struggle is not the same: At all. She grew up with celebrity wealthy parents, light freckled skin, “good hair” How is her struggle the same? Don’t drink the kool aide

Kiki: I’m here for it!

Cameron Wilson: I cannot wait to see this!

Ketura N.H.E: Yesss let the wild curls be free nothing can hold my curls down

Here for It: I just hope this series is HONEST. ❤

Sable Senegal: Reminds me of India aries' Grammy winning anthem "I'm not my hair" black women like myself have been thru the gauntlet about hair styles textures because my maternal relatives are beauticians & barbers so I have been a constant client i remember the hot comb on the stove era that my late grandma aunt cousin put my tender head thru to straighten it than my late mom it was every type of braid style i just keep my naturally curly hair styled with curl moisturizer & a hair head wrap at night sometimes with rollers!

Duck: Crazy how our hairstyles aren't appreciated until a non black person does it then its celebrated

BlackAmericanLesbian Professional: I better see in this documentary/mini-series, many with our beautiful Black Natural hair, short haircuts, locs, and bald!!!! Black Natural hair means our actual hair texture(s) that grow out of our scalp. Black is beautiful. And it is a capital B for my Black American culture. Date Stamp: 01oct22

KamisKisses CSL: what is the name of the song in the background ? can't wait for this series ✨

lau: I almost cried, we really needed this!
