Nobody has mentioned this, but you have beautiful hands and a perfect manicure.

Spaghetti and steak.... I forgot all about hair and started cooking dinner 😂

My Asian ass is learning so much about hair care on your channel. While I don't have curls, the lesson about hair texture, porosity, how to choose the right shampoo and conditioner, heat, etc...have greatly helped me growing my hair and keeping it healthy. I love your videos and I really appreciate you. ❤️

I've been a licensed cosmetologist since 1993. We needed instructors like you back then! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Brother Linwood, you just gave an illustrated sermon. Shared.

If you're not intrigued thats probably why your hair is busted.. stay tuned! 🤦🏽‍♀️🤣 Thank goodness im a regular spaghetti lol

Thank You!!! This should be titled “Defining Hair Texture for Dummies “. Lol. I’m speaking of myself. I finally understand!

Gfh&b...Our walking hair encyclopedia does it again, the virtual cosmetology class was very informative 👌

I love how your kid come out of nowhere in most of your videos and disappear into thin air the next minute. I look forward to seeing her in your videos honestly, she's sooo refreshing. ❤️

Class is about to start and I got my mask teacher!

Thanks Linwood....after years of being to told my hair was corse, I finally realizing that this is not the case. My hair is very dense but fine strand and can't not handle too much manipulation. This fact has taken many adjustments because, l love to which up my hair.

HERE EARLY? Click the set reminder button so you are here for the live chat! You know I love you boo!

I have not heard a more understandable breakdown of hair texture - EVER! Really have a good idea what's going on with my "angel hair pasta👍. Getting hair tips & dinner inspiration in one video - priceless😎

Part of me wanted you to end the video by saying Pasta La Vista, because I'm goofy...

This is so good! I really never even considered comparing hair to spaghetti but this was genius work! I really need to work on being as gentle with my hair as possible. Linwood, you are a gift! Periodt! ❤❤❤

This is a dad with all the qualities a family needs praise the Lord! AND a great teacher too!

Your daughter has the cutest, sweetest voice. Gosh!!😚

This...this is the best visual I’ve seen. It helps me a lot when dealing with my spaghetti headed children, who have dense hair that is a bit finer than mine. Relating the water temperature to the blow dryer & flat iron temps, and it all makes perfect sense. I no longer bake cookies when I dry or flat iron my hair! I been delivered!

I'm a retired Stylist, that's the best explanation I've ever heard. Great Job!

I am learning SOOOO much about hair watching your videos, and of course, as an Italian, I just LOVE the spaghetti analogy, LOL. If only I had known this information when my son, whose daddy is black, was small-but hey, I did my best. ;) Thanks to you, I DID go to Sally's and buy protein treatment and deep conditioning for my high porosity type 2b silver hair, who knew? No wonder my hair breaks after a certain length-now maybe it will grow a little more. Got your free hair guide too! Much Love from New Mexico to you and your beautiful Glam Family!

I and I’m sure many others would really appreciate a routine for fine hair. I have fine low porosity hair and it’s quite the combination 😩 thank you for all the information you put out. Super helpful

Yep... My hair is definitely fine. Thanks for the info!

thank you for this analogy, having very fine hair, and tender scalp, i stop going to hair dressers decades ago. maybe now they have a better undersanding, of very fine thick hair. appreciate the time and effort, you give the education we need to make the right choice for our hair types.

Your analogy has empowered me greatly my hair is badass 👊🏾✊🏾

I am so glad to see someone that is licensed and looks more like me. The explanations you gave were incredible. Im also licensed and try to educate clients (and sometimes other cosmos) as much as I can. Now I can use pasta to explain. Thank you.

I wish I found your channel two years ago but glad I'm here now. Love your content, you really have the heart of a teacher. Thank you from someone who didn't know better but looking forward to doing better :)

I'm 8 min Into this video and I'm already understanding more about my hair then I thought I did. Very good teaching sir

This is literally the best hair care explanation I have ever heard. 😲

This is the best analogy of hair diameter I have ever seen. You explained it very well and I learned more about my hair.💚🥀🌹🙋🏾‍♀️

I just fell in love with my coarse strands all over again. The best video on hair for me all year. Thanx a million. Heat yh but in MODERATION. 😄💃🏽💃🏽😌

Fine, thin-haired mostly 3C (with patches that have changed texture much to my chagrin) here: Thank you for this information!

You're such a teacher 😍 From 20 year veteran science teacher, HUGE compliment 😊

Thank you Linwood....... This WAS a real teaching moment! I am NOT a fan of the flat iron OR silk pressing. I've seen a new stick like product that is applied to clean dry hair then followed by heat. This reminds me of grease and straightening combs. The more things change......the more they stay the same.🤔 My goals are: Healthy strands Healthy scalp Length retention I'm 6 months into my 3 year journey. Keep sharing the knowledge........🖤

Linwood the Instructor. Thanks bunches!

OMG! This makes so much sense! Thank you so much...this explains everything You're the best!

So comforting knowing you're a Teacher giving all this knowledge! I swear my hair confuses people because it's Thin but dense and high porosity and eats product in true type 4 drieness-prone style 😂

Linwood, I wish I could have beautiful nails like yours!!!! How do you keep them so nice? Love my Glamfam.

Linwood, your the best! This was very informative and helpful boo

Thanks so very much Linwood for the live video on hair texture. You're the best teacher boo🎉❤️💕 now I gat to go sleep before I become pastaless😴 it's 2:27am here. Once again thank you

Thank you for showing us about the different hair follicles! And that the irons don’t have to be on 450 degrees.

i’m a teenager and really enjoy your videos, there so helpful 🙂

Binging your videos, you’re a fantastic teacher- thank you!

I Love the way you explain everything like dummy proof. Now I also know that I have fine hair, high porosity hair due to colouring my hair and I don’t know what else but I’m still in class, so keep teaching.

This is such a good video and a good example of hair textures.

Fantastic illustration

I'm suppose to be recovering from my surgery today, but here I go clicking on this video. I loved it! You were so clear in your explanations that I stopped the video several times to take notes. I'm "Angel Hair pasta". Something that I discovered in the early 90's, but she did not elaborate or give me any additional information on how to care for my hair. At the time I was perming and rinsing color with her. She knew that I was also heat styling my hair. This information could have really helped me maintain my hair health. Now, that you've cleared up so many of my misconceptions about how I am suppose to handle my hair, I think that I can now have, healthier and stronger hair. I might even be able to increase its retention too, though genetics will play a part. So my high porosity colored is thin and fine and I will take my chances with coloring it because I'm not willing to go gray. But, if I can reduce the split ends it will help me in retention. These issues magnify on wash day in the matting of my hair. So, what do you suggest for my wash day preparation to prevent tangles? And is it okay to use a sealant with petroleum on the hair shaft and not the scalp? For fighting split ends? The reason that I'm asking is because I ran across an article suggesting that use of it will assist in detangling hair. It did work, and the suggestion was to keep the sealant in the hair to keep it free of split ends. I still use the SeaButter line that you used in your video for high porosity so I was wondering. Sorry to write a script let's blame it on a side effect of the anesthesia. Thanks Linwood again for sharing your expertise with us. I also wish that I could pay for a consultation. You and Alison would be a dream to work my hair.

THE BEST explanation of hair textures and causes and effects of hair products or tools! Loved it.

Excellent analogy!!!

This was such a good lesson . I will listen again. I wish i could vist you just once. Now that im a senior citizen with graying thin hair low porosity, one visit with you would benefit me greatly . Thank you for the info. God bless.

Hi Mr. Linwood(I hope I spelled your name correctly). I love your videos. As a 51yo black woman, I'm having to start growing my hair back. Up until a couple of years ago I had thick hair that reached a couple of inches below my shoulders. Even though I had a relaxer since I was 18 and had my hair dyed blond with platinum streaks and wore up dos most of that time, my hair was holding up well. I was diagnosed with an Autoimmune disease and in the beginning my hair did not seem stressed. Two years ago it all came apart. The hair on the left side of the back of my head broke. It was about and 1 long. The rest of my hair started thinning. I had it cut, went natural and just couldn't handle the upkeep. I have no energy at all. So, when it got thicker, I re-relaxed and colored it. My stylist and I split ways after 20 years. So, I've found a new stylist who is going to help my with the natural hair. She does a lot of protective styling. I don't like the way that leave-in conditioners my my hair feel gummie, especially when I'm giving my hair a break from braids. To comb through my hair, what would you suggest. I keep my scalp oiled, but I don't get my hair washed weekly. Sorry so long, but I am thoroughly lost. I've got to relearn how to french braid, but even when she does a braid down, she adds in a little extra hair.

Thank you sir I’m a visual aide person (in terms of learning and comprehending) and your analogy are always awesome thank you!

This was great! I just automatically put my flat irons on the hottest setting (450) and thought I could just deep condition later, but I can see now once the heat damage is done, it is too late. THANKS!

This is amazing information. You explained this perfectly; I have been confused about hair types and texture for years.

I swear I've learned more about me and my (now grown) daughter's hair in this video than I have in my 45 years of life. Gah I wish I knew this when they were little!!!

Definitely have to avoid the devil's temperature and breakage. I've been heat free for almost 7 months and am way overdue for a trim. Thanks for the video!

Thanks, Linwood . . . Excellent analogy for visual learners!

Loved that demonstration

Wow! This is great information! Learned so much!

Aww your babies! I love babies. Especially when they interrupt parents trying to record for YT! Lol. The cutest. And your explanation is so on-point. I have all three different textures. It’s a headache to deal with. Not using plant proteins has helped my hair immensely, as well as the water I use. (New subbie here. Love your info.)

Awesome Video. Learned a lot. Thanks soooo much Linwood!!!

I can't lie...I was proper hungry after watching this! You couldn't get a better explanation of hair types than this. Than kyou so much Linwood x

I have micro locs and I even needed this! Thank you so much!!!❤❤❤

Angel hair pasta gang, gang! Lol 🤭 Being 4b/4c, high porosity, fine haired and low-medium density, I've learned to slow down and be extra gentle with my hair. Even when styling, I would hear snaps. My biggest challenge is moisture/protein balance. I'm always going into hydral fatigue. So now I'm working on trying to figure out the frequency in which I should incorporate protein. I've gone into protein overload a few times before and dont want to do that again so I'm starting slow. Things penetrate my hair so fast. I've heard fine hair doesnt like to be in protective styles. Is this true? Because I keep my natural hair in plaits, then put them into cornrows, then plop a wig on. Loose at the root of course. Btw, you recommended the Keracare hydrating detangling shampoo in one of your videos for high porosity or fine hair. (Cant remember) My hair loves it. Been looking for a new shampoo and I've found it! It's very hydrating, so thank you!

I have thin strands but I also have high density 4c hair. So i usually go for creams and butters cause the work well for me. Never tried a liquid leave in, I might experiment with it tho🤔

You are really a great teacher!

Brilliant!!! So glad to have found you❣️

Thanks for being so generous with information to help us keep our hair healthy. One Love 💕

Great demo

God Bless you for all this free education!!

Always on point...thanks

Very good experiment, you are a good teacher and make things very clear. Thank you.😊

Thank you so so much.I’m 54 blessed years of age and my hair is still thick hair with 3 percent grey. hair I’m relaxed and colored treated..I don’t relax often. My hair is shoulder length and still growing.

You are amazing, that was the best way to the T . There is no way someone could get what you are saying to keep your hair strong and not to abuse your hair with heating .

I have angel pasta or fine hair. Thanks for the lesson

Absolutely love this thorough explanation! Thank you 🙏🏾

Great analogy Linwood, love this tutorial! 🥰

Looking forward to this!

Thank you for always providing awesome analogies to make it make sense.

Thank you so much for this!!!

Wow, I understand . We need to take it easy on our pasta or it can overcook. 😊Lol - I try to keep my hair moisturized. Great video.

This opened my eyes

Love the new merch I'll get some soon

Gorgeous nails Linwood! 😍

Thank you for the free hair care guide Linwood, I really do appreciate it. 💕

Whew chile!!! Me and my angel spaghetti hair lol. Thank you for the lesson! 🙏🏾

Outstanding. ❤ The comparison.

What a fantastic analogy

You're good at explaining. Thank you for taking the time ☺️🙏🏽

I have 3a-4c and all the textures in between on my head . When I was relaxed (I've been natural about 6 years) I would leave the relaxer longer to treat my course hair ,my fine hair would end up damaged. Or I'll do a shorter time and there be no effect on the stronger hair. So I went natural and discovered a whole new set of problems...🤷‍♀️ Keeping multitextured hair moisturized is one issue what works for the fine doesn't work for the course,and my over hair is very dry 😱😱🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Haha the way you said pasghetti is how my son use to say it when he was little. Had to watch that part a few times to reminisce.

Fabulous analogy!

Definitely one of the most helpful hair videos I've ever seen on KZfaq. Thank you so much!

So glad I found your channel I have learned so much these past few days of watching my fine is crazy as I get older my hair has a mind of it’s own I know now that I need leave in conditioner especially when I’m in between my salon visits thanks so much for your patients👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 and breaking things down in layman’s terms

Had to share this with my daughter.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

this was GREAT!! I have "angel hair pasta" Hair. I mean some strands I can barely see. 😔 My hair was damaged last year from a stylist (Dominican salon) that used 450 degrees the day after Thanksgiving. Now I haven't been to a salon in years and have been natural for 15 years, I had the worst experience ever. So now almost a year later I have been transitioning from heat damage. I cut my bbn hair into a bob to rid some of my straight hair but majority of the front is still straight. Its healthy because I care for it. But baybee my husband was more furious than I was. I absolutely loved your explained pasta theory. Yesssss!!!

I loved this! Thank you 😊 It makes so much sense. Using the spaghetti was a genius idea 👍🏾🙂

Awesome demonstration and very informative! You definitely possess the spiritual gift of teaching.

My kids have pasta that looks like yours. Not sure how yours feels but their's so smooth and fine.

Thank you so much for this video, I got so much out of it. I have coily hair that is on the finer side and most stylists treat my hair like corose hair because it's coily. I'm now natural I haven't used heat in 3 years However, I still have lots of breakage, no growth.

This is so good! Thank you so much for this information. Much appreciated!
