Hi! 👋 This is BuzzFeed, so you know we love sharing viral moments you may have missed and getting your perspective on them. That said, we're also big believers in personal autonomy and everyone’s right to do whatever makes them feel confident, happy, and true to themselves. With that in mind, we thought this viral opinion was too interesting not to discuss, especially because we have a feeling you might have some thoughts on it. So, let's get into it!

NBC

"I just seen a video of a girl with really pretty brunette hair, and she was begging her hairstylist to turn it blonde, and he turned it blonde. The minute she saw her hair, she's like, 'I look so good," she continues.

Then @strawberriredd shares the facial expression she made when she saw the transformation, saying, "Then I did this."

"She looked 20 years older. OLDER. OLDER. OLDER, and I'm looking at it... I'm like, maybe I'm trippin'," she explains.

"So I go to the beginning of the video, and I'm like, am I tripping? I go to the beginning of the video. She literally looks very young. Like, she looks good, 24-25. She looks good."

@strawberriredd then expresses her thoughts after seeing it. "As soon as the blonde hair got on there, I was like, 'Oh my gosh, she looks 40. She looks 40.' I don't think a lot of white women realize that blonde hair ages them."

Clarifying her stance, she says, "This is my opinion. Who am I? Does my opinion matter? Probably not. I was just looking at a video."

Reiterating, she adds, "Like, she thinks she looks better, and to me, she looks old. And that's probably why they say 'black don't crack,' because a lot of you guys are trying to go blonde, and that's why y'all look old and cracky."

Apologizing, @strawberriredd ends with, "I don't know. That's just me. I don't like the blonde hair on a lot of y'all. I'm sorry."

Women in the comments came forward to share that they agree with @strawberriredd:
