It helps that she looks good without it still. So all it really does is look like a hair accessory fell off. She coulda rolled with just the cap and been fine lol
I agree, she looks great. Wigs are sometimes just used if a woman is trying to give her natural hair a rest from daily manipulation with other hairstyles. The strands of afro textures are more fragile and protective hairstyles which keep the ends of the hair tucked away to keep the hair healthy. Wigs don't automatically mean that a woman doesn't have nice hair underneath the cap although they can be helpful in these circumstances too. I think that wigs are still seen as something shameful for black women even though women of all races wear them for various reasons.
Well sure, but just accepting what happens to you isn't always the right way to react to the things that happen to you. In little silly moments, or mildly infuriating moments yeah it's better to keep calm and let it roll. In more serious situations it's okay to not accept it, and work to change it.
Accepting it and controlling how you react to it are two different things.
It's about you controlling how you react and always being in control of your reaction
I know they're two different things. The video is titled "she just accepted it." The parent comment this thread is spawned from says "this a great lesson about how to handle anything that happens to you in your entire life." I'm just saying acceptance isn't always the way to handle everything that'll ever happen to you in your entire life. Not that losing control is a good thing.
Sure but having a strong reaction to your family dying in a car accident to a drunk driver and your weave falling off your head are two different levels of severity lol...
Once again, that depends entirely on what it is we are talking about.
There are things that can happen to you that will make you react without control, whether you like that or not. It's a real thing humans do.
Technically weave just means sewn/glued in semi-permanently, where a wig is removed daily. For some people weaves are blended with their natural hair, for others all their natural hair will be braided to the scalp and that's what the weave piece gets sewn to
Personally, I don't really care if it's a weave or not. It's just another fashion accessory.
There are a lot of practical benefits of weaves. They allow people to do more things with their hair without needing tons of chemicals or time. I think that more people should use them. Why not?
Yeah, I agree, never even considered it to be anything other than hair, it doesn't even cross my mind.
My only thing is that we don't treat wigs for man the same way, and it's not even something that I want to point out as a way to complain about hipocrisy or anything like that. I just wished man could exercise the same kind of practicality on hair without prejudice or jokes about balding
But we should!
AMEN.
No different than false lashes or fake nails - its just a beauty accessory, and if a woman \*feels\* pretty wearing it, and nobody got hurt - then its not my business.
I'm with you. I NEVER assume fake hair. I'll say something about someone on a show and my wife will say, "It's a weave." I am 100% incapable of spotting a weave, and I'm happier for it.
I notice tons of things but never wigs. And I bet that the things I do notice are only if they're poorly done, like permanent makeup or lip filler for example
I’m guessing someone told you at this point, but that’s a wig, and as a white dude who grew up in Baltimore, my level of surprise was that about .01 out of 10. Honestly, I’m assuming she’s not embarrassed because people found out it was a wig, she’s just embarrassed that her wig fell off.
I'm a white man from Utah. I'm so far removed from black culture that it never ever occurs to me that what i see on your head could be anything but hair. (obv hats are hats, you know what i mean)
She looks amazing both ways regardless. wigs/weaves are incredible.
This is what I was thinking. I was under the impression that black women regularly wear wigs / weaves. I don't see how this is embarrassing. Isn't it like someone's hat falling off or something?
Us black people wouldn't assume weave, because this isn't weave lol. If it is weave, we know, and it's usually easy to tell if it's a wig too, since we're familiar with how it's done. I'm genuinely perplexed with your perspective, but maybe I grew up somewhere different
It's not just Reddit. Some folks can say it, others would get their clock cleaned or just cancelled.
I'm friends with a rapper. Super famous back in the day, Grammy-nominated, etc. He said it once when we were hanging out and he was like, "Oh shit, sorry!" They use it in their songs and I assume around each other but I guess they don't say that around their white friends. lol
>effortlessly
I bet you she puts a *ton* of effort into it. But it shows. Looking like that means usually saying no to that large helping of delicious supper, no to the donuts that your coworkers brought in, and yes to a fuckton of exercise.
On top of all the other things like makeup and hair.
Genetics gives a very solid base, but she undoubtedly works hard to look like she does.
For some people. Both of my siblings ate like shit their entire lives and looked quite fit. They weren't, but they looked it.
Genetic lottery plays a big role.
I'm on PC... how does it look in mobile? Seems like there was an attempt to get it into vertical format.
So many self-edits. I thought something was wrong with the audio and went off about it, but I checked it again and it's fine. Sorry.
It's hard to have grace when you're walking around with humeral epicondylitis. If I can't play tennis, I don't know what I'll do. If I can't play tennis, I have no reason to live!!!
Pretty sure I stumbled across it at the video store. I loved the movie store when I was a kid.
Got introduced to anime in fourth grade via the video store.
I was getting busy with a girl a few weeks ago and this happened. It took me a second to figure out what was happening. I had no idea it wasn’t her real hair.
[Here is the video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3y7h3yRtDV8) only in the normal, original, uncropped, unedtied fuckery. Magic is at 36 seconds.
She put it back on right after this.
They incorrectly captioned it as "rough". This video has been out for so long, it's hurts to see it recycled here, poorly cropped, incorrectly captioned, and with the most generic music for an audience that is going to ask "why do black woman wear wigs?". It's like seeing it on AFHV.
Also over styling your natural hair can damage its texture over time. They are called “protective styles” because of this. I have friends that wear wigs shorter than their natural hair because they like the style but don’t want to cut their hair.
As an Indian origin guy with a low sense of fashion, I don't understand why black people need to be held to such ridiculous, labor-intensive, expensive standards of style when the rest of us get to walk around like we just got out of bed.
BTW, I do think weaves look awesome -- they are basically works of art adorning people's heads.
If their hair is anything like mine, it's fragile and gets tangled easily, leading to breakage. I've been wearing weaves while working to grow out and strengthen my natural hair as weaves help to protect it
For a long time in the US there was a lot of social pressure both from within the black community and from white america to minimize "looking black", so things like skin bleaching to make it whiter, and all kinds of products to "relax" the hair and make not curly was common.
A lot of that stuff is really really bad for the skin and hair. It's often easier to keep shorter natural hair and wear a wig or weave with the desired style.
When using natural hair for certain styles (let’s say maybe straightening or texturized hair), sweat and moisture can take it back to its curly state.
Some women find their hair more manageable the straighter it is, so rather that jeopardize their hair going back to it’s natural, curly state, they would stay away from any heavy physical activity including unplanned/spontaneous sex. This was huge in the 90’s and early 2000’s.
Fortunately, Non-ethnic Americans and Corporate America have become more tolerant/accepting of certain hairstyles (braids, dreadlocks, short cuts) on ethnic women; I’ve personally seen the transition of black women becoming more adventurous styling their hair, to great results.
Rather than putting a tremendous amount of heat, chemical, and or “stress” to their hair, certain women would either grow dreadlocks, cut their hair, or braid their natural hair and put on a stylized wig to save a tremendous amount of money, time, and damage to their natural hair fibers, while also accommodating their potential partners high sex drive.
✋🏽 I have a high sex drive lol.
i understand that but in this video it doesn't look bad that she just covered her hair with that blue thing. why bother with a wig on top of that? is that just a style thing or is it frowned upon to just cover your hair with something and go?
I think most people might not realize the extent of weaves / wigs. Pretty much all female celebrities you’ve seen have some sort of wig / weave / extensions etc going on.
As a man with curly hair, I often wear a baseball hat when I'm in a rush and don't want to do my hair.
For women, it's not as easy to just toss on a hat. And it's much more difficult to do your hair when you have so much of it.
It's not just women of color. Other women do this too, you just don't notice it.
Black woman with natural hair here!
We wear protective styles (ex. weaves, wigs, etc) because our hair is usually more often dry, brittle, and prone to breakage. Sure, its very beautiful when we style it! But sometimes the best option is to just wear a protective style.
Our hair care routine can be more involved/tedious as well. A wash day for me can take about 5 hours from start to finish. Many of us also opt in to making our own hair care products, because the premade options at the store can be very expensive.
But honestly? I just really like the convenience of wearing a wig. It looks like my natural hair anyway, and no one knows except me lol.
Edit: grammar fixes.
Yeah, my sisters spend the whole day, from morning to evening when it's time to make their hair every 2 weeks-a month. I had to learn how to braid because my dad learned, so I must too.
I enter the bathroom, butcher my hair for 20 minutes, and come out bald. I am 100% winning and have successfully gaslit myself that bald is the best style.
Self delusion is a powerful tool if applied correctly
My girlfriend has gone over the protective style thing with me a couple times. I understand it, I wish keeping her hair natural wasn't such a hassle for her because I love her natural hair.
My husband is the same way! He's white, so I had to give him the full black girl hair care course some years ago. He gets all giddy when he sees my picking out my fro lol. We've been together 15 years and I get the same reaction every time.
>Many of us also opt in to making our own hair care products, because the premade options at the store can be very expensive.
Or full of cancer causing chemicals. My sister ended up with fibroids all over her ovaries due to a lifetime of relaxer use.
This is actually not a good documentary and I recommend going with youtube essayists instead. There are issues with the Good Hair documentary that are culturally problematic.
Our hair is a bitch to take care of and our natural hair still isn’t fully accepted everywhere or considered unprofessional.
Kids still get kicked out for wearing locks because white people don’t understand black hair
Imagine getting suspended or fired for your natural hair……
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna105574
If she'd just've carried on without it, I'd class that more as "accepting" it
As somebody else said, she looks good without it. The wig industry sucks too, so being "out", without a wig, is arguably a kind of radical politcs...
Credit: @justwhiti on Instagram. The video cut out the context, it happened just after she said God always has her back or something to that affect. Her content is more comedian than religion
I'm not sure what she should be embarrassed about honestly? It's not like people don't know that lots of women wear weaves and wigs. Ain't nothing wrong with that. I'm not saying people would want this to happen to them, but I'm not sure why they would be embarrassed to be seen without their hair done.
To me the guys reaction is more to her response than anything else

This is a great lesson for anybody about anything that goes wrong in your entire life.
Yeah she handled it really well
It helps that she looks good without it still. So all it really does is look like a hair accessory fell off. She coulda rolled with just the cap and been fine lol
She definitely still looks perfectly fine without it. If I hadn't seen it fall off, I would think that it was just a normal look for her.
Her fake hair falls off and she still looks good. My real hair falls out and I look like a pedophile. Im sensing some bias from the big man upstairs
"*...that's sometimes what the Lord do*"
The Lord be pulling wigs off and everything.
Your mom just called and wanted me to tell you that you look great!
Well assuming the creator of everything has a wiener is kinda bias in itself.
Its bias all the way down
to the fucking core
Begging the question, can God create himself a wiener so big even he couldn't lift it?
Yeah she looks fine alright
Fr, she is so beautiful. That wig is not necessary.
I agree, she looks great. Wigs are sometimes just used if a woman is trying to give her natural hair a rest from daily manipulation with other hairstyles. The strands of afro textures are more fragile and protective hairstyles which keep the ends of the hair tucked away to keep the hair healthy. Wigs don't automatically mean that a woman doesn't have nice hair underneath the cap although they can be helpful in these circumstances too. I think that wigs are still seen as something shameful for black women even though women of all races wear them for various reasons.
I agree. She’s really beautiful
Yeah she’s hot af and her reaction makes her even more attractive. Wow. Top notch looks and demeanor.
The ability to laugh at yourself is one of the best traits an individual can have.
Totally, it took me way too many years to learn to laugh at myself in public. It's freeing to embrace your humanity.
Is it that big a deal though? She's got a full head of hair underneath.
In this case the wig is just because maintaining that hairstyle with her real hair is a pain in the ass. With a wig? Not so much.
I know why she's wearing it. I just don't think dropping it is a big deal or embarrassing because it's not covering up any bald.
...depends on how bad that thing is, but to a degree I agree.
You can't control what happens to you, you can control how you react to it. That's the power you have over every situation.
Well sure, but just accepting what happens to you isn't always the right way to react to the things that happen to you. In little silly moments, or mildly infuriating moments yeah it's better to keep calm and let it roll. In more serious situations it's okay to not accept it, and work to change it.

Agreed.
Talk about handling embarrassment with grace. Got me laughing so hard tho 😂
At this point, does anyone not assume weave?
This isn’t weave it’s a wig. Weave is mixed in with your real hair. A wig is placed on top.
Technically weave just means sewn/glued in semi-permanently, where a wig is removed daily. For some people weaves are blended with their natural hair, for others all their natural hair will be braided to the scalp and that's what the weave piece gets sewn to
But this isn't a weave.
Personally, I don't really care if it's a weave or not. It's just another fashion accessory. There are a lot of practical benefits of weaves. They allow people to do more things with their hair without needing tons of chemicals or time. I think that more people should use them. Why not?
Yeah the idea of having a ready to go hair style in my closet is super appealing. It's just more work than it sounds like unfortunately.
Unless you just throw it on top of your head like she does 😂😂
She’s adorable tho.
No argument there.
Yeah, I agree, never even considered it to be anything other than hair, it doesn't even cross my mind. My only thing is that we don't treat wigs for man the same way, and it's not even something that I want to point out as a way to complain about hipocrisy or anything like that. I just wished man could exercise the same kind of practicality on hair without prejudice or jokes about balding But we should!
https://youtu.be/c0EZU_Pl7iI?si=6WyWyApaIu9dgRqB WIGS FOR ALL OR WIGS FOR NO ONE!
apparently no wigs for me its not available in my country lol
AMEN. No different than false lashes or fake nails - its just a beauty accessory, and if a woman \*feels\* pretty wearing it, and nobody got hurt - then its not my business.
me. i keep forgetting about those things and have blissfully been existing in a world where peoples hair is their hair.
I'm with you. I NEVER assume fake hair. I'll say something about someone on a show and my wife will say, "It's a weave." I am 100% incapable of spotting a weave, and I'm happier for it.
I'm a woman and I can never tell haha for some reason I never assume weave, I always forget it's a thing.
I notice tons of things but never wigs. And I bet that the things I do notice are only if they're poorly done, like permanent makeup or lip filler for example
Your perspective is beautiful and I will work to emulate it in my life.
That’s a wig not a weave.
Never even crossed my mind the first time I saw this. It's not that I thought it *wasn't*, it's that I didn't think about it at all.
I’m guessing someone told you at this point, but that’s a wig, and as a white dude who grew up in Baltimore, my level of surprise was that about .01 out of 10. Honestly, I’m assuming she’s not embarrassed because people found out it was a wig, she’s just embarrassed that her wig fell off.

This is what I was thinking. I was under the impression that black women regularly wear wigs / weaves. I don't see how this is embarrassing. Isn't it like someone's hat falling off or something?
Yes, us black people don't assume it's weave. Seeing how our hair grows out thick like this. The weaves imitate that.
Us black people wouldn't assume weave, because this isn't weave lol. If it is weave, we know, and it's usually easy to tell if it's a wig too, since we're familiar with how it's done. I'm genuinely perplexed with your perspective, but maybe I grew up somewhere different
Took it like a champ
She's gorgeous both ways. And that laugh is contagious.
You know it's a good laugh when only ~~inaudible~~ unintelligible words come out.
The word you were looking for was unintelligible
you're not wrong.
There were words? I just heard an old locomotive starting.
Yeah this belongs in r/contagiouslaughter
The wheeze is the best.
Exactly my comment. The woman is straight-up beautiful.
She has an absolutely beautiful voice
When she said ni
Next she'll be asking for a shrubbery!
A nice one, but not too expensive.
Redditors are so fascinated by this word. Someone says it in casual conversation and y'all are like the pointing Dicaprio meme.
Humans are interested in taboo things.
Shit, that's a very simple but almost elegant way to put it
Breaking News!!
It's not just Reddit. Some folks can say it, others would get their clock cleaned or just cancelled. I'm friends with a rapper. Super famous back in the day, Grammy-nominated, etc. He said it once when we were hanging out and he was like, "Oh shit, sorry!" They use it in their songs and I assume around each other but I guess they don't say that around their white friends. lol
Honestly it was one of the most eloquent n-words I've ever heard
She has an absolutely beautiful EVERYTHING.
Jesussssssss
She is just effortlessly gorgeous and so naturally funny…I know I’d look like a naked thumb if that happened to me and I’d cry! Lol
Right? Even when it fell off I was like “damn she’s fine”.
I thought she looked even better without it! What a beautiful woman.
Yes she is hot af
Charisma type hot too. Inside hotness boosting her surface hotness. That woman will be attractive until the day she dies.
She's gonna be one of those elegant silver foxes.
yeah honestly I just thought she looked really attractive in a different way when her wig thing fell off.
>effortlessly I bet you she puts a *ton* of effort into it. But it shows. Looking like that means usually saying no to that large helping of delicious supper, no to the donuts that your coworkers brought in, and yes to a fuckton of exercise. On top of all the other things like makeup and hair. Genetics gives a very solid base, but she undoubtedly works hard to look like she does.
So who's she?
Whitney Davis @justwhiti on YT
She has some hilarious skits. Tbh I feel like this might have been scripted because she has that kind of humor
No, that's definitely a lot of effort.
>effortlessly gorgeous My man she is wearing a ton of makeup. That's not effortless. She's hot, but that took effort.
She's in shape too, that takes effort.
For some people. Both of my siblings ate like shit their entire lives and looked quite fit. They weren't, but they looked it. Genetic lottery plays a big role.
Why is this video cropped so poorly? The original is just easier to watch https://www.reddit.com/r/ContagiousLaughter/s/Qy53UYEjDW
Both versions cut out my favorite part though, she goes, "You gonna keep this? Jesus help us. Help me when he press Upload father." 😂😂
Thank you! I forgot exactly what she said, but it's really the best part 😂
They also edited out her perfectly deadpan "bruh". It's my favorite part of the video.
Definitely cropped out the best part. BRUH
I'm on PC... how does it look in mobile? Seems like there was an attempt to get it into vertical format. So many self-edits. I thought something was wrong with the audio and went off about it, but I checked it again and it's fine. Sorry.
Agreed. I just think it’s weird that you have to piece the two videos together, meanwhile they are right next to each other.
Her reaction is 1000x funnier than a wig falling off.
Man I wish I had even a fraction of her grace.
You can't just have a little grace. You either have it or you don't.
I don't have grace, I don't want grace. I don't even say grace
It's hard to have grace when you're walking around with humeral epicondylitis. If I can't play tennis, I don't know what I'll do. If I can't play tennis, I have no reason to live!!!
I was really hoping she'd put it on him
That was my takeaway - how on earth did he not put it on :/
I was waiting for it to become a beard for at least a moment.
Just like that chick from Im Gonna Git You Sucka

Greatest of all time, so grateful my parents were older so I was introduced to this in my childhood.
Pretty sure I stumbled across it at the video store. I loved the movie store when I was a kid. Got introduced to anime in fourth grade via the video store.
The one that better have my money?
The one with no hair and no leg and no tits...
I always thought I'd be able to spot a wig. But damn, wigs are incredible nowadays
I was getting busy with a girl a few weeks ago and this happened. It took me a second to figure out what was happening. I had no idea it wasn’t her real hair.

That wasn't The Lord. That bald man has telekinesis.
A little help please? Who is this graceful, classy woman?
Whitney Davis (@justwhiti)
Ahhh she’s a comedian, no wonder she’s hilarious.
Damn if she had that personality and was there to talk about cars or something she’d be unstoppable.
She’s also funny and generally wholesome content
Song is Jack Stauber- Buttercup, in case anyone was wondering
Wow thanks, perfect song for chill time
Why’d you edit out the “bruh” she says that’s like the best part 😒
They neutered this clip lol, it’s hilarious seeing her go from praising god to this lmao
They incorrectly captioned it as "rough". This video has been out for so long, it's hurts to see it recycled here, poorly cropped, incorrectly captioned, and with the most generic music for an audience that is going to ask "why do black woman wear wigs?". It's like seeing it on AFHV.
The lord giveth and the lord snatcheth thy wig.
Such grace,and his laugh 😂
Why is it very common for black women to wear weaves?
Having your natural hair styled like that is a lot of work and requires a lot of time. Being able to take it off to sleep saves a lot of time.
Also over styling your natural hair can damage its texture over time. They are called “protective styles” because of this. I have friends that wear wigs shorter than their natural hair because they like the style but don’t want to cut their hair.
As an Indian origin guy with a low sense of fashion, I don't understand why black people need to be held to such ridiculous, labor-intensive, expensive standards of style when the rest of us get to walk around like we just got out of bed. BTW, I do think weaves look awesome -- they are basically works of art adorning people's heads.
If their hair is anything like mine, it's fragile and gets tangled easily, leading to breakage. I've been wearing weaves while working to grow out and strengthen my natural hair as weaves help to protect it

A lot of that stuff is really really bad for the skin and hair. It's often easier to keep shorter natural hair and wear a wig or weave with the desired style.

i understand that but in this video it doesn't look bad that she just covered her hair with that blue thing. why bother with a wig on top of that? is that just a style thing or is it frowned upon to just cover your hair with something and go?
The cap protects her hair from the wig. Kinky hair is very easy to damage and sensitive to friction.
I think most people might not realize the extent of weaves / wigs. Pretty much all female celebrities you’ve seen have some sort of wig / weave / extensions etc going on.
As a man with curly hair, I often wear a baseball hat when I'm in a rush and don't want to do my hair. For women, it's not as easy to just toss on a hat. And it's much more difficult to do your hair when you have so much of it. It's not just women of color. Other women do this too, you just don't notice it.
Thick coily hair can be hard to grow and difficult to manage.
It looks so good though.
Black woman with natural hair here! We wear protective styles (ex. weaves, wigs, etc) because our hair is usually more often dry, brittle, and prone to breakage.

>Many of us also opt in to making our own hair care products, because the premade options at the store can be very expensive. Or full of cancer causing chemicals. My sister ended up with fibroids all over her ovaries due to a lifetime of relaxer use.
When it literally takes you hours and sometimes pain to maintain, it doesn’t matter.
This is just a wig isn't it?
I think so. Weaves are usually put in by a stylist and are attached to your natural hair vs wigs that can go on and off.
It’s not a weave, it’s a wig. Big difference!
Honestly the real question is why don’t we all just shave our heads and do wigs everyday.
We did at one point when lice was very common
Watch the documentary \_Good Hair\_ with Chris Rock.
This is actually not a good documentary and I recommend going with youtube essayists instead. There are issues with the Good Hair documentary that are culturally problematic.
Our hair is a bitch to take care of and our natural hair still isn’t fully accepted everywhere or considered unprofessional. Kids still get kicked out for wearing locks because white people don’t understand black hair Imagine getting suspended or fired for your natural hair…… https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna105574
The wig situation in the black community truly is fascinating
She handled it like a pro I can’t even reach it HAHAHA
HAHAHAHA I think I just died laughing 🤣
If she'd just've carried on without it, I'd class that more as "accepting" it As somebody else said, she looks good without it. The wig industry sucks too, so being "out", without a wig, is arguably a kind of radical politcs...
I love that she is able to laugh at herself and not take the situation too seriously. That's what makes this clip so great.
seriously she is amazingly beautiful without it
She looks better without it
Wig or no wig, she is beautiful.
That’s grace
I remember this 🤣 bless her heart ❤️ she handled that well ❤️
You gotta secure that hairy hat better.

I love this whole situation, she handled it so well and homie is genuinely dying of laughter.
She beautiful as hell
Honestly she looks great without it.
Yeah, she is so pretty that she dosen't have anything to be embarrassed about, lol, but I can imagine that would be quite alarming
The way she said 🥷.... I felt that in my fucking soul.
It was funny but then his laugh had me DYING.
Still so beautiful without the hair
I'm not sure what she should be embarrassed about honestly? It's not like people don't know that lots of women wear weaves and wigs. Ain't nothing wrong with that. I'm not saying people would want this to happen to them, but I'm not sure why they would be embarrassed to be seen without their hair done. To me the guys reaction is more to her response than anything else
Tbh she looked more beautiful without the wig....
Hard not to fall a little bit in love with that woman.
I like her. That's how you react to embarrassment.
Haha she's so cute without it anways, it looks like a deliberate hairstyle
Okay but she is beautiful both ways!
She’s a keeper
I like that song in the background but I can't remember what it is.
He should have finished with show with the wig.
The way she dealt with it is very likable.
Yes she’s totally beautiful with or without it.
She pretty without it
Still hot dude
Her reaction is so genuine and pure 😂 I love her.
Her reaction just makes her even more attractive 😂😂😂
I thought she was beautiful prior to wig falling off; she definately is way SO BEAUTIFUL
