Joy Bryant Goes In On Tyra Banks

By Sweet Sweetback September 23, 2009 2:50 pm

joy bryant and Tyra

Is actress Joy Bryant throwing shade at Tyra Banks? The actress recently blogged about Tyra’s National Hair Day on Essence a few days ago and went in on Tyra, while celebrating her own weave. Joy wears a weave?? Who knew!!! I can usually spot a weave a mile away, but I had no clue Joy was part of the club.

Here’s what she posted:

National Real Hair Day? I missed that one…In fact, on National Real Hair Day, I was calling Extensions Plus in L.A. to make sure they had enough of the 20″ “relaxed roots” texture hair that I love oh so much (and that keeps selling out like crazy!), and making an appointment to get my hair, I mean, my weave, hooked up.

So Tyra, while I didn’t take part in your observance, I just want to say: “WOW!” You are such a brave woman for breaking the chains that bound you since your teenage years! What courage that took, for you to expose yourself to millions of people! Such fearlessness! Oh, how I wish I had the guts to do that. I guess I’m much too much of an insecure, self-loathing Negro for all that self-acceptance foolishness.

I’m glad we got down to solving the mystery of what’s under your lace-front, though. I mean seriously, it was “THE” question that has perplexed the world over. And now we see that there’s a beautiful head of hair underneath it all, hair that was surprisingly relaxed and ready for the world. Whodathunkit?!If I had the same length and fullness of hair that you have, I might take my weave out too.

Ha!!!! I’m just playing! Even if I DID have your “real” hair, I’d still be wearing a few tracks or clip-ons up in there.

Because I’m straight weave fo life, kid!!!

Ima ride ride wit this weave, die die with this weave!!

Take a look at Joy below:

…See, I loooooove taking new hair out of the bag, combing through it with my fingers, holding it up with my two hands, and burying my face in it. Mmmm, mmmm, mmm! Nothing like a new batch of zig-zag curly to get your self esteem out of the dumps! The feeling of getting my hair, I mean, my weave done over. I feel human again. I feel sexy. I feel powerful.

I can be whatever, whoever I want to be with the stroke of a sewing needle…

With long brown tresses and a tan, I’m Pocahontas, ’cause I got Indian in my family. With easy waves, I AM bohemian rhapsody goddess personified. And now that I got blond highlights! What!? I know I look like Beyonce! You can’t tell me nothing! Uh oh, uh oh…

Now I guess I can get help for my self-loathing addiction.I can learn to accept myself in my entirety. I can emancipate myself from that which keeps me locked-up. I can embrace the natural state of things.

Yup, I can do all of that…

But don’t hold your breath!

    on OPRAH today,CHRIS ROCK checked out OPRAHS hair by running his hands through it to see if all of that was hers.CHRIS got the shock of his life.THE look on his face was priceless.Not all black women with long hair means its fake.He has a doc**entary movie coming out called GOOD HAIR…. Yes black men,Black women have their own hair.stop Lumping us all in one category.What was also funny was the segment that chris rock had today on other races of women being exposed also with the fakeness.I only say this to those men who attack black females to say that they are fake as if other races dont do the same.TODAYS SHOW proved alot of ignorant people wrong.When one assumes,he or she makes an ass of themselves.

    I noticed that every time someone talks about black women wearing weave the first thing a guilty woman says in her defense is ” the other races do it too”,and that’s the problem right there……..Stop dwelling on what other races do and try to enrich yourself……StarrSantiago, you might be a good woman,just really brainwashed,so i suggest you read a book titled” Making of a Slave” from author Willie Lynch.It would say why you use the word”black” while you in try to insult me,and go on trying to justify wearing weave.This is what youre wearing…….(via Wikipedia.com)

    Weaves is derived from Asia (China, India, and to a very small degree, Southeastern Russia). Lower-quality “human hair” extensions are often diluted with animal and synthetic hair to lower the price. YAK(the big hairy animal) hair can be curled, permed, relaxed, and colored. Human hair is, however, more versatile than synthetic hair because it can be colored, relaxed, or curled with heating appliances just as one would do with his or her own hair. But, many people are allergic to yak hair so suppliers are using human hair treated to mimic the African/African American texture.

    @mrbluesays-I wasn’t hating on your car I just don’t see how it is relevant to the post. Are you that insecure that you have to mention to everyone that you have a BMW? Sounds like you are a hippocrite. You hate on women for wearing weaves but yet you are materialistic. I don’t even wear a weave, my hair is not long either, it’s my own hair just relaxed. If I wanted to wear a weave or a wig it is no business of yours or anyone else’s. As long as your hair looks good, who cares?

    @DAREALRECKLESS-You really can’t make a case for yourself when you spew a bunch of ignorant azz comments

    To each her own. Nobody should be telling anyone how to look. If Joy wants to wear weaves, then cool. It’s no big deal. I prefer women with their own hair bt admittedly, Im attracted to women with long hair, so I feel alot of sistas’ pain. I just wish sistas would explore the possibilities of their own hair before getting wigs and weaves. My nieces have their hair braided in order to have long hair. It even worked for me as a man when I was a teen with an afro. I relaxed my hair and ended up with Snoop Dogg hair haha. I know it’s alot of work but if white girls can wear cornrows then sistas should work with their own hair more and have more options.
