Shiest Tee same. I just say 4c because it’s so thick but I honestly don’t know😂

Same I’m a mix of 4a 4b and 4c

She'Myia Malone me after watching this tbh

Me tooooooooo! I just don't know! :( So complicated and confusing!

😂😂😂

Thank you

So cute and precious ❤

Yesss! Cute kids

🤗🤗 Awwwww the kids

They’re crazy cute. So gorgeous.

Crying!!!!!!

right. and it’s irritating

Ikr! Very annoying.

Exactly! Just saw a video on my recommendations , the title says 4c but she clearly has 3c/4a hair

Truth 😂

xshesyourqorqeousxx3 😂😂

Absolutely!

xshesyourqorqeousxx3 I don’t think you should feel insulted. Just chuck it up to lack of knowledge. I don’t believe people are tying to offend by saying they have 4C hair if they don’t, they just don’t know. 4C hair appears more dry and more course than any other texture and when you feel your hair looks like this because of the lack of moisture, it can cause you to be confused. Many people go off perception of the hair because texture categorizing is quite confusing. I use to think I was 4C until I did my research. But when I said I was 4C it definitely wasn’t to offend, it was because I simply lacked knowledge of hair textures.... Having 4C hair doesn’t make your hair less than or more than because all hair textures can be healthy or not... AND.... With all of my research, I still don’t know my correct hair texture. I just know that I’m not 4C because of all the buzz and arguments over the 4C texture. Maybe I should seek a professional 🤷🏽‍♀️

why oh why would you think it's insulting to have 4c hair? There's nothing wrong with having 4c hair and shame on you for thinking otherwise

Diane Rousse I don't think 4C hair is insulting. I have 4C hair and I love it. What is insulting is when girls with 3C/4A hair call their hair 4C because it's dry and unmanageable because they believe that 4C hair is like that without understanding that they don't know how to properly moisturize their hair

Yeah I can see the difference too. When 4C is long the curl pattern is not nearly as visible as long 4B hair. I'm surprised no one else can see the difference....

when my hair was shorter I always thought it was 4c, but as it gets longer I start to see some more defined curls, and I think that the weight of your hair might make it look different when it's longer. So it's not really obvious when you try to compare someone with very short hair vs someone who has long hair like in this video

Thanks for this explanation, im a boy and ive been growing out my hair and my mom has been twisting it often, i thought i had 4c hair and the twists where what was making my hair curly but a few weeks ago my mom put my hair into bantu twists and my hair soon was really puffy and frizzy but after washing it my hair got back curly. This whole week ive been confused about my hair and i guess i am actually 4b because my curls do come down when my hair is wet.

even after this video i still see no difference. The only difference i see is that one is longer than the other.

Not really. 4c will do that too when soaking wet in the shower, especially when it's long. As hair is drying off us when shrinkage happens alot

LMFAO

we as black people of the only people that sit back and worry about skin color is skin texture and her text her and her coloring I'm so sick of it just live y'all damn life as black people we don't hear white people talking about this b******* cuz why people don't care only black people sit around and degrade your damn self and stereotype yourself to try to figure out what type of skin color hair texture you all have God damn

@@johnnaconner8735 Fucking preach.

Johnna Conner the main reason why people try to figure out their hair texture now days is so they can take care of their own natural hair. This comment wasn’t negative or talking badly about the video.

Um duhh

Im disbetic

Lol nice, wow that means it is so pretty.

Craving Curly Kinks Thx💛

Me too! We in the 5xyz group! Where our styling video at? Ha ha!

Lol. I was thinking the same thing til I see your comment. 🤣

Memphis10girl 901 🙋🏾‍♀️

49jubilee so, just because you claim they marry white men they can’t wear natural hair or have rights wow. So toxic-.-

@49jubilee White washing from years of oppression and teaching us to hate our features from white people. Modern day media representation and the good ole European beauty standard shove down our throats.

@49jubilee There were plenty black women who WERE NOT married to white men who helped others embrace their natural hair! Cut out the foolishness!

THE VOICE I agree that the media created/support so much self-hate. Wanna tell you that I’m white but I don’t fit the standards (hair, features, body type) and the messages crushed me, even tho my skin is ‘acceptable’ to the mainstream message.

Amen and amen. I found this out 21 years ago. One of the first originals of going from relaxed hair to natural and never went back. Raised 4 girls and have never relaxed their hair and they have beautiful long. Praise God!!

Romae Daley Me too!

Me three

My 4c hair is right on the middle of my head and right at the front. Everything else curls up soon as it gets wet. 🤦🏽‍♀️

I thought i was the only weird one with three different types of hair

@@folashadeoresanya9090 not at all. It's no hard finding products that work with my hair. 💆🏽‍♀️

I don't think it's just when it's longer. That's how my 4b hair looked from ear length to bs length.

tblackman78 that’s what I was thinking

No, the younger child is clearly 4b. There may even be a little bit of 4a as well. If you look carefully, you can see the definition and how water affects it differently.

tblackman78 no matter how long 4z hair gets will never hang like 4b not even when wet and if their hair was the same length 4Z hair does never look longer just denser it grows down not out like all other hair types and packs in tighter. their is no reward or ease of styling for 4z hair. it looks the same and goes nowhere it wont ever braid out like the older son. its not hair thats meant for growing. 4z is springy and shoots back not stretchy like 4b. u can almost stand on 4z coils its resistant to stretching and manipulation. 4z has a naturally zero natiral water content than 4 b and other types which gives it its unique behavior and weightlessness with length

tblackman78 I agree

Thats really true wow

I hope so too, I really feel bad when I see toddlers with relaxer.

They are her kids!?!?! How old is this girl!?!?!

HOL UP THOSE ARE HER KIDS 🤭

i think 4c tends to have more shrinkage but they are similar.

Amanda Ngidi nah please don’t say that again....4c hair shrinks crazy too...my hair is twice the length of what one sees...I promise I’m not tryna be rude...noticed it came out sorta mean.😂😂

oh noo I made a typing error... I ment to say MORE shrinkage😂😂 and I didn't mean to be mean😉☺. I also have 4c hair and it shrinks like crazy... sometimes people ask me if I had another big chop😃

Amanda Ngidi lol true girl..I get you..it’s cliche to say this but shrinkage is really just a blessing and a curse..😂😂...name is Chiamaka by the way...😊😊

Hollie Charles yes you totally right

Nice💖

Same girl, same

Same

Same lol.

Same

I am sure it will girl, moisture, moisture, moisture.

I am sure it will girl, moisture, moisture, moisture.

But isn't that about Porosity levels? Low porosity repels whereas High porosity soaks up moisture, product, etc.. like a 'sponge'. You can be anywhere on the hair chart with these porosities.

I'm 4b and I can tell the difference -_-

@@Ms.Byrd68 I think the structure of 4c hair make it low porosity porosity by nature. 4c hair is defined by dense, fine strands that are tightly coiled. because the coils are tight and the hair shaft is fine, it's difficult for moisture to penetrate the hair. I believe that 4c's only get high porosity hair from heat/chemical damage.

I've gotten so bad that I like to feel other natural girls hair. Sounds crazy but for me that's been the easiest way to tell that I'm 4b. I rubbed my fingers through a coworker's hair this morning and definitely felt the difference between 4b and 4c. The reason for this is because we had been going back and forth for a few weeks because I've been claiming to have 4c hair because I wanted 4c sooo badly. After rubbing my fingers through hers and feeling the noticeable difference I know that I snuck on the 4c bandwagon and tried to ride as long as I could without getting pushed off

Everything you said is spot on😲🙌 my hair is exactly like that and when you do part the hair so the water can wet the scalp it feels so cold and unpleasant.

Not exactly. Sheen is a reflection of hair porosity, not curl pattern. Take 2 people with stick straight strands but if one has more porous hair than the other she'll look like she just stuck her finger in an electric socket after air drying whereas the other will be smooth. 😂😂 It's hard to compare hair that is short to longer especially textured though so they may have similar curl patterns just different porosity.

I was actually thinking the second baby looked like 4a. I could see the curl pattern pretty easy and the difference was pretty clear for me. 4b and 4c are so close I can rarely see the difference.

I agree he has spongy 4b/4c hair.

4c can also have curl pattern

From what I observed, now I may be wrong, but the first little baby looked like his hair was in between 4b and 4c and the second looks like 4b

4c whoo whoo lol

What country are you from

Duke Will. I believe she’s originally Ghanaian 🇬🇭🎉

Craving Curly Kinks how old are you? You don’t even look old enough to have kids lol. All love ❤️

I am little late to the party bc I have not been on you for a while but thank you for this video bc I seriously could not tell the difference. Thank you so much!!!!

🤗😘✌🏾

✌🏾❤❤

✌🏾❤

Me too 😁 it's hard work cos have to treat areas different. My sides are 4c but the rest of my hair is 4a/b. Wash day is crazy but always fun... 🤪

Wow awesome

I bet it's beautiful

Me too, with a little 3c

Me Too!!! Im 4c at the sides, 4a in the crown, and 4b everywhere else lol

Same, it's hard to deal with at times.

Same

esther ndegwa mine too I think. I think parts that I thought were damaged were actually just their true texture

Lol

I feel u lol

Yep, I am happy you found it useful.💖

Awe thanks, ur welcome😘

Yay your going natural!!! How has it been?

update

1 year old? No offence to your mama, but somebody just didn't want to put the work in and learn about caring for their baby's hair!

Thank you.....dry parched hair is automatically considered 4c hair???? I have 4c hair and my hair has a lot of definition because I moisturize properly....most type 4 folks are not moisturizing properly and just class their hair as 4c as if 4c hair can't have definition...nope

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

wcallisa22 I’m not trying to be mean here but you guys the hair table we are given isn’t really accurate ...4 type hair if anything goes beyond a-c..and you guys need to understand this and understand that the world is too damn diverse for a lot of peoples hair to react the same way...I group myself into 4c hair but I know it goes way beyond that and I’m telling you no amount of max hydration will bring out any curl..tiny bits maybe but my hair is meant to be coily and not curly..so it saddens me when other hair types wanna bash us like we don’t take care of our hair instead of understanding that we’re all too different..and second of all I’ll like to say...your real hair texture is the texture you get if you used only water on your hair daily and oil to protect and so if your hair curl or coil pattern changed from max hydration...oh that’s a good thing but it’s the products that changed your hair pattern and that’s not how it grew out of your body...you may not agree with me and that’s ok but that’s how it is for me...some hair textures are just meant to not curl but coil instead.

MeMy Me I completely see where you coming from. We all have different hair thats why I brought up porosity, density, and width because those things are info about your individual hair. And can i ask what is a coil? When I think coil I think of a tiny tight curl. And I’m not trying to tell you what kind of hair you have because you are right some kinky textures don’t curl even when wet but they usually dont have much shrinkage because of that. If your hair is shrinking 80% plus you have curl no matter how tiny. Also I wanted to address the statement that your hair texture when its wet is the natural texture if you’re hair. That’s true ta an extent. The more tight a curl is the more hard it is for moisture to enter the strand so if your hair is wet and the water is mostly sitting on top of your hair are you really looking at your hair in a drenched state? If you are constantly looking at your hair in a unhealthy state its easy to say oh this is normal this is how it grows out my head when in reality you have been using a routine that constantly keeping your hair dry n frizzy. Wash & go your hair at least every other day and ket me know if you still dont have curl pattern. Just drenched in water regularly seal with your oil or cream n watch your hair slowly take the moisture in. For kinky coily CURLS this will revive your curls to show with only water. Remember dry hair won’t curl!

MeMy Me oh and you can not change your curl pattern with out hard chemicals (perm, dye, texturing). The curls you get when using gel or cream is the curl that twisted out your scalp the product only minimized the frizz!! However if you learn to properly get moisture into your hair you’ll need these products less as your hair will be less frizzy
