What's the big to do about hair with black ppl tho? Why is it that important, it's just hair, some ppl are bald and love it

h
really?

Shea Moisture is actually used by a LOT of white people as well and I think they've picked up on it. I saw it all the time in curly hair care forums , white girls holding their shea moisture mess with pride. I was shocked. But usually its white women with thicker hair, curly hair, Jew-fro kinda mess as well.  So there's a good reason why they're expanding their marketing. They kinda have to if they want to grow. It is a business, and if white people are supporting them why not acknowledge that.

I'm still glad to see that there was another commercial lined up which highlighted kinkier hair struggles.  They kinda set aside an ENTIRE commercial just for that, whereas they split up the other one between "mixed hair" and white hair. Just goes to show that they're opening little pockets for that audience that they know is beginning to support them, but still are very committed to the group who made them popular to begin with.

Whew. Wait so Black women never had it all to themselves? And there have been White people putting money into the brand's pockets too? Who the fuck woulda knew.

I guess the moment it starts leaking into the advertisements all bets are off

I just feel like we're always RUSHING to boycott and destroy black businesses. Yes, this was a dumb marketing attempt, but why do we have to destroy this black business? They learned their lesson. They GOT it.

I honestly see both sides.

I mean, there's a lot of pride in rocking natural hair for Black women right now.
I think they felt as though Shea Moisture represented them in a sense.

FINALLY, something Black owned and made for us!

So to see a commercial from "their" brand featuring Caucasoid girls was like
another attack against Black beauty. Again being told they aren't important,
but only this time from their own. I can understand their feelings.

On the other hand, SM is just doing what any business tries to do. Expand and increase profit.

I can't fault them for that. However they need to be a bit more tactful in their approach next time.
