    I love it! Maybe a little bit strange to say, but I love the fact that you're mixed and don't have 3a/3b hair. We mixed girls can also have type 4 hair! Subscribed and excited to see your hair journey

      It's like one person reminded that biracial doesn't have one look! Most of us have been programmed to think that biracial automatically mean light skin, light eyes, and loose curls. I was ashamed of myself being from the Caribbean where there are many biracial people, even in my own family, and yet I still had this mindset of what biracial should look like, silly me back in the day.

    • @paigequeenb8257
      @paigequeenb8257 6 ปีที่แล้ว +21

      This is lovely to see. My sister and I are the ONLY non biracial kids in our age group in my family. Translation, this 4c hair and this Brown skin is quite out of place at Christmas parties lol. Biracial and Brown beauty comes in all colors and textures. We are all beauties and part of what makes us so amazing is how unique black beauty is!! I literally just showed my huband your video and we were both like I love her hair!!! Any more natural hair videos because our hair is the same texture. I'd definately follow. You made me miss my twa. Rock that natural and kept being awesome

    Those of who you are saying her hair isn’t 4c need to stop and realize the difference between TEXTURE and CURL PATTERN. You can still have 4c hair and it be a different texture, causing the hair to look different on different people. There are some people with 4a hair that’s silky texture and some people with 4a hair that is kinky. The girl with silky hair will obviously have way more defined curls. I didn’t see any curls or coils in her hair that would make her 4a or 4b??? The hair typing chart has nothing to do with texture and everything to do with curl size. Every girl with 2a-4c hair will not have an identical head of hair. It will look completely different or similar on some people.

      Same! As a kid, I use to be ''mad'' that I didn't get ANYTHING from my father(white). My hair is 4C everywhere thanks to my mom. Seeing other mixed girls with kinky texture is so cool though. Proud of my kinky curls! We're not alone!

      She does not have 4c hair. She is confused if u want to see 4c hair go to nappyfu channel...this girl is between 4a/4b she could even be 3c wants she learns how to really take care of it...I thought my hair was 4c for a while until I got better with my routine

    I also hope that you don’t concentrate on growth but more so on healthy hair. Healthy is good hair. Properly detangling your hair and knowing your porosity so that you can proceed with learning how to moisturizer your hair is a good start coupled with weekly deep conditioning. Your hair is going to grow but just don’t rush this present experience. I miss my twa. 😞

  • @MeshaViola
    @MeshaViola 6 ปีที่แล้ว +58

    Girl you are going to go far. Your mix race with 4C hair, And we don’t see that on TH-cam. And even myself I’m full black. But it’s nice see someone my skin tone with my hair texture. Representation is everything. And I’m excited to see your journey. Yes. Healthy hair is more important. !! And I trim my hair often because I’m focused on having healthy hair. But yh, I’m so excited to see what styles you do!!

  • @Hollywould94
    @Hollywould94 6 ปีที่แล้ว +105

    So happy to see mixed girls with different curls! My mom is Black and my dad is Japanese but I have 3c/4a hair. Most blasians have 2a-3b hair so it made me insecure about my hair. Espeically since my best friend is blasian too with 2a hair. I thought i was broke or something was wrong with me for awhile. I love your channel so much already ❤ your hair looks so good!

    you look beautiful i love the texture and how you styled it. it does sadden me that people are arguing as to wheteher you are true 4C. that's irrelevant. from what i heard you say is you want to learn your hair and have healthy hair. i wish you the well on your journey.

  • @diamondlaing3829
    @diamondlaing3829 6 ปีที่แล้ว +179

    Her hair is definitely 4c. Not all 4c textures look the same. Nonetheless, you look amazing! IMO I think Camille Rose Naturals has great products for type 4 hair. My favorite is her curl love moisture milk, you should give it a try. Plus if you don’t like a product Target lets you return it with your receipt lol. Anyways always remember that your journey is your journey and It’s all about trial and error. Good luck!

      @VirgoGoddessXxo 6 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Girl this is not 4c, this looks 4b. I have 4c in the back of my head and 4b in the front of my head, her hair looks like my front

    • @diamondlaing3829
      @diamondlaing3829 6 ปีที่แล้ว +28

      Like I said. Not everyone’s texture is the same. Not all 4c hair looks exactly alike.

    • @VirgoGoddessXxo
      @VirgoGoddessXxo 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Diamond Laing yes not everyone’s texture is the same, that’s why the hair chart was created and even expanded upon. 4b is quite distinctive from 4c. I would know, I have both textures in my head.

      Just bc her hair fros doesnt mean its type 4, looks more like type 3.

    • @KiaSafia
      @KiaSafia 5 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      Type 3 is a lot more looser , her hair is super thick and doesn’t have much of a coil or curl . Her hair matches my grannies hair super soft but doesn’t have a visible coil or curl

    • @Ms.Byrd68
      @Ms.Byrd68 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      And that's the standard for 4C, the curl pattern EXISTS but it's appearence is so TIGHT as to appear *undistinguishable.* Kia is right.
      Product makers need to come with a way to SAFELY loosens the pattern *without relaxers and so it doesn't cause that hydral fatigue.* It would encourage more 4Cs to STAY natural if they could SEE their curl pattern like everyone else.

    • @KiaSafia
      @KiaSafia 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Dolores Byrd I’ve seen a lot of 4c women get their hair to show some type of coiling with the max hydration method . I believe the hair just needs to reach that mark of hydration to visibly see the pattern of hair. I have 3c4a and when I deep condition , or clay masks , and use oils and butters to help hydrate my hair my coils show so much better . That’s y I believe TH-cam some is crappy because WE see all of these ppls hair types and we wonder why it doesn’t look the same , and the answer is simple we may have the same hair type but just a different porosity or density making our hair feel different or appear different but we are in the same curl pattern. Like a lot of 4c women I’ve seen so many and their all so different and feels different. And my goodness I never thought 4c would feel soooo soft my grannies hair was exactly that. We are so caught up with hair texture we forget the health of our hair and if we get the health part up then just imagine the appearance of the hair !!

    I absolutely love this! First off your natural hair is beautiful, the short hair looks amazing on you. Secondly, it's nice to finally see someone I can actually relate to on youtube or even just in general. I am also mixed, my mom is white, father is black but I am very fair skinned with extremely kinky, curly hair varying from 3C-4B. I grew up in a small, predominately white city where no one looked like me and hairdressers would turn me away. I went natural maybe 7 or 8 years ago and I turned to youtube for inspiration and help, and although I am well into my hair journey, I look forward to following you through yours and it's nice to see someone I can relate to on many different levels.

    I don't really like castor oil (I know scandalous) and I wouldn't encourage you to rinse your hair out daily, dampen it if you're styling but not rinse. A water based leave in conditioner at night, deep condition weekly and be gentle with your hairline and ends.
    I like Camille Rose Natural fresh curl, Aunt Jackies curl la la, tgin honey deep conditioner and I add hydrolised wheat protein from green beauty once a month (she has a TH-cam channel).
    For styles i secretly try out stuff I see on Pinterest and for advice I like nappyheadedjojoba, green beauty, naturallyhigh and naturally curly.com- all have TH-cam channels and those girls have long healthy hair. Take your time, be patient and trust your intuition, nothing I do may work for your hair.

    You look beautiful with your big chop! It brings out your features and looks amazing! I agree that healthy hair is the best hair and feel that if you keep that as your focus, you will have the hair of your dreams! Beautiful!

    It goes to show that whatever one’s natural features best suit them. You looked good with straight hair but you look GORGEOUS with your natural hair texture. It suits you so much and just brings out your facial features plus it’s flattering af. Good luck on the journey sis, it’s a hell of a ride re-learning to style your hair once you go natural but it’s a worthwhile journey! 🙌🏿

    Love love LOVE this video! I chopped my hair about 2 years ago and it has been the healthiest it has ever been! And need I say that i use to be a flat iron junky. Heat damage was my frenemy 😬. Im so glad you have embraced your 4c hair and joined the natural hair community!! Good luck 👍🏽 you look great! 😍

    Im so glad i found your channel! Im mixed as well, and forever i felt like «i didnt belong» because i never saw a lightskin girl with kinkier hair. I know it may be stupid, but it sucks feeling like no one else is like you. I always felt like i wasnt enough of this or too much of that. Like i should have had another type of hair. I wanna do a big chop as well, but not yet haha. But i loooove that you did this, and im so excited to follow your journey! You rock, girl 🌞❤️

    I am so proud of you... Your take on your natural hair is inspiring... I sometimes hate to have curly hair as they are hard to maintain. But I have 3C curls and my struggle is nothing compared to yours. You inspire me to love myself the way I am.

    First of all you are absolutely STUNNING. Secondly, I have 4c hair and I love the Shea moisture coconut and hibiscus curl enhancing smoothie and the curling gel soufflé. It leaves my coils defined and so does eco styler gel but I usually experience flaking with the gel. You’ll find out what your hair likes and doesn’t like as you experiment with products. My favorite way to wear my short hair is with the part on the side. That’s definitely my go to!

    You and your hair are gorgeous! ❣😍💗💕💖
    As you mentioned, and this happened to me too, after the cut it took me time to learn what my hair was like fully natural and at a shorter length. Like you, I loved my hair after I cut it too, but there was a learning curve. I eventually got my hair cut by a professional and that helped. Then I let it grow out into a style that I liked better. Now l am at a stage where I am completely comfortable with styling my hair. Although I appreciate all types of hair, On me, I like my hair most the way that it grows out of my head.
    Cheers as you move forward on your natural hair journey! Thanks for sharing your experience with us❣❣❣

    Hey, you look sooo pretty!!!! It’s all trial and error- but just listen to your hair... I think you may still have a few straight ends left though. When I first big chopped- I did what you did- just cut. And I still had a lot of relaxed ends though. I had to go a barber to get down to the natural part and to even it up. If you decide to go that route- they’ll cut off some more length. But don’t freak out! I promise you it will grow back very quickly!!! Keep us updated! I’m excited for you!
