Just to be clear, I'm not blaming black women for the faults of ain't-shit Black men... But whether it's problematic black men, colorism, texture bias/discrimination, the toxicity of the NHC... It's not enough to just point out the problem. It's not about blame but about accountability. We need to ask and examine how we collective contribute to the problem. Just like many of us would like to blame biracial curly naturals for "hijacking" the natural hair movement... They can't hijack something unless we hand it over to them... Who's uplifting them and not all the other representatives of the natural hair community?
I totally agree, we don't like taking accountability in general for our own sh!t but love pointing the finger and highlighting what's wrong with everything outside of ourselves and not looking at the whole picture and seeing where we may have fallen short or where we may need to heal/work on ourselves.

So true Narada. We need to be real with ourselves and ask: "are we enough?😁😯 Do we love our pure image, without outside validation; as a necessity?" The finger pointing and arguing gets us nowhere. Especially when it comes to the black community quirrels between men and women. I use to follow Chrissy and many others, like her. But then...I just had to do my own re-evaluation. Anyhow, I enjoyed this live, as always! And I too miss how the old youtube was!😣😣😣
J. J. That’s me (although idk about silky lol) but I HATE that I can’t get that level of volume naturally. The fact that society convinced 4C girls that their hair is ugly and not the norm is extremely shameful!

No more gels and no more obsession with defining my curls. Just let it be.
Honestly, that is what I LOVE about my 4c hair! It can literally be molded and manipulated into any of the other hairtypes Type 1 all the way to Type 3.🤗 You can have kinky coils one day, fluffy blowout the next, silk press the day after that, have defined curls with perm/ flexi rods the next day, bouncy twistout another day, then end the week off with a big fluffy fro. 4c hair is SOOOO versatile! If people just took the time to learn their hair, see what works, and embrace what their hair CAN do, I dont think that
There would be this much of a discussion about it. I get compliments on wearing my kinky fro alll the time,especially from women with the same texture, and even those that are not. 4c hair is inspiring and magical :) ....wear your crown sis and remember people will do anything for some clout #4cfishing

Always love your streams. It's nice and refreshing to hear some real talk about natural hair community. It really is deeper than just hair. Hopefully the bigger picture is coming together influencing the younger generation to love their hair and be natural as opposed to it being just about the entertainment factor. I know it took me a while to love my own hair and YT has helped me love my hair more than I ever did
It’s depressing to hear all the time our hair being difficult, especially when it’s not the case at least overtime. At some point you have to become comfortable with your hair and accept what it is without comparing it to others. People don’t realize you’re adding to the negative thoughts of your hair and normalizing everyone else to think the same.
Honestly you help me get on the right track with my hair. I have always had ear length hair. Thank you for being honest. First thing I learned was the protein. I stop using protein treatments. finally I have hair; I will always come back to your videos for references I CAN NEVER THANK YOU ENOUGH.!!!
The couple was absolutely adorable. I typically zone out because these TH-cam couples have awkward chemistry and I’m not trying to see that…it’s almost like they don’t even be in love. First video of a couple where I honestly smiled through the whole thing because from what I can tell he actually tried and didn’t just give up.
Hey Narada! I had a feeling that my descriptions might have been confusing/vague because of how limited the characters are for superchats. I requested the Stlyedby Cre video "Easy silk press for kids no pain". In a previous live, you made a good point about people not accurately being able to perceive a stylist's work and technique based on the pictures and videos that they post on Instagram/TH-cam, especially if they've never had a bad experience w/ a stylist that would give them an idea of what bad traits to look for. That happened to me. I thought I thoroughly looked through the stylist's reviews, pictures, and videos, but I was completely wrong. I didn't take into consideration the fact that some females (that have gone to stylist for years) know how to act to avoid displaying discomfort when they are getting their hair done (i.e. keeping that neck strong so your head doesn't fly back when a stylist's rips a detangling tool from roots to ends). I also didn't take into consideration the fact that I live in St. Louis (these people crazy). Some of these females are getting their hair pulled out in fights every other week, or they're getting it burned out by kitchen beauticians, so I guess she's a half step above that. I had a feeling that it would be hard to perceive, from the video, what I was talking about since the video is short, and it's sped up. However, the part that I wanted to draw your attention to was at the beginning while she was blow drying the first half of the head. She does the tension method (w/o applying tension; letting the hair fly around freely) until the hair is 100% dry. Then, she sends a comb through a large quadrant of hair (regardless of length, texture, or density) from roots to the ends without stopping even if there is resistance. You can also see it at 1:55-2:30 when you slow the video down. She's literally dragging her head around the entire time. In my case, it was a 9 row Denman brush, and she definitely was not receptive to me telling her how my experience was going. In the last comment of the video she was asked why she only blow dryed half of the little girls head, and she respond back saying that she does this so the client doesn't feel so much pulling all at once. I'm not tender headed, but I believe that if you claim to be a natural hair stylist, you should know how to blow dry textured hair without pulling half of it out. I know you can, deeperthanhair can, CYNTHIA can (lol jk) and many other stylist's can to if you're not just trying to rush through as many heads as you can in a day.There were more things that went wrong during the appointment, but I only wanted to focus on this particular part. My goal was to drive home the point that things aren't always as they seem when it comes to SOME of these hairstylist and the content they post.
With kids it's really hard to measure how much they are tugging their head around because many young kids don't know how to hold their head and resist the tension when getting their head pulled from a blow dryer or even just combing and brushing. I'll try to remember this comment and discuss it for my next live stream
@@AfrikanHairGod Thanks for ready all of that... and hopefully this. I think I understand your point. I do think hearing it orally might give me a better understanding though. Based on what I think your saying, you confirmed my point even further. If a child or someone inexperienced in having someone else handle their hair (I do think this little girl has some experience), it will be easy for people to discern whether or not the person's hair is being handled improperly. I know that there's a pretty thick line between an excessive amount of tension and the actual amount of tension required to blow dry highly textured hair (because I have it and I know how to blow dry it properly). The size of the sections you work in, how thoroughly the hair was detangled ahead of time, whether or not you started blow drying from the ends or the roots, how wet the hair was, and how air flow is being directed impacts how much tension is required. Regardless, I can tell that your care about what the client is experiencing while you do their hair. If you felt a lot of resistance at some point while blow drying someones hair, I know you would stop to take care of the knots/tangles properly instead of just ripping through the hair.
Lol she totally did say that she joined the natural hair community to grow her numbers and get free wigs😂 She didn't just jump into a new thing though, her video stated that she was leaving cause there's no point cause of the texture discrimination. She didn't leave out of the blue, she said she was leaving and she left.
2:06:41 tbh, this is probably a similar process to what they do to make hair products. Good video. Nice to have some insight into cosmetic chemistry. 👍
I love chrissie! I think she has an awesome channel! Lol! I think the reason why people in the comments were saying they didn’t like her was because she speaks the truth and nothing but the truth! She doesn’t sugarcoat anything especially when it comes to colorism and the topics surrounding black women’s hair!!!
Yes you have to be ready to digest it and accept reality. The truth is harder to believe than deceptions and lies we make our reality. I wasn’t ready for Chrissie at one point because I was too young and had no experience to understand what she was saying until I’ve witnessed and experienced things she mentioned on my own.
Right, she also calls out black women too calling us fat LMAO. And I take it and make it work. She is the real deal. Her fanbase can be toxic, ya but we in our feelings over there it’s like girl talk.
I love Chrissie, she's like a reality check. I dont see nothing wrong with leveling up which she preaches a lot about and frankly I totally agree with her. M
I did not like shampoos at one point because they made my extremely dry hair at the time even more drier. If you’re experiencing that you have to rebalance your hair and put moist back into your hair. Most of the products I’ve came across at the store did not do that. I had to keep it simple and understand how to use heavy butters that are mixed with different ingredients that will seal the moisture in. I’ve natural for over 10years and finally figured out my hair and what it needs. Which is keep it simple. I literally only use 5 different products to maintain my hair and it’s been thriving so much. I no longer use conditioners and Can’t believe what a difference it’s made to KEEP IT SIMPLE!
Not the faces with StarPupper!! mmy god. Someone said she's an actress so I guess that explains her personality. She's one of those creative types. She's cute! I can't subscribe though but I go like her videos a lot without watching them lol.
I had to stop watching Chrissy and Paris Milan too. They both have some interesting topics but then it turns into a rant about how awful they think black men and light skinned women are. I wish they could have discussions about colorism without all the vitriol and hatred.
@Worldwide Awakening I’m not mad.... colorism is a problem in our community and needs to be discussed. But crucifying all black men is toxic. And the black men who do have complexes about race are not going to turnaround their beliefs from these videos. It’s just an echo chamber of black women telling each other to jump ship for white/non black men. Their videos are toxic and divisive and this is coming from a dark skinned black woman.
yasmeen yeah I’m about to unsubscribe from them myself. I’ve been watching Chrissie since she was anti interracial couples. Their videos were informative but I’m not trying to listen to a dang 30 minute rant. We get it colorists is the issue. I unsubscribed to the pink pill too because she be saying some stupid stuff. Like I’d even call it offensive and self-hating hatred from that one. I thought the content was cool at first then I realized it’s just hateful and unintelligent. Maybe it’s because I’m not the target audience so I can’t relate to the content anymore,
Had me rollin😂 at (your term)4c fishin but it soooo true and annoying. Also, I was having the same reactions to NappyHeadedJoJoba as you, too funny but sad that she is in this place. I’m with you tho, I see lots of 4c folks here and media. I also am with with you on the Ginacurl young lady, can’t take her seriously. I enjoyed this, happy you got out of here to go skating.
4cphishing 🤔 I like how you put that. I’m over the back and forth though. I’ll just thumbs down every video on the channel and move on. Next time they pop up on the feed, I know exactly who they are because I already rated them.
I agree, I’ve seen a variety of natural you tubers with different textures it doesn’t do me any good to look at videos with someone who doesn’t have hair like mine. Nappyheadedjojoba was my go to when I started my natural hair journey especially Ayurvedic recipes, after awhile I noticed her content changed up and she seemed to be doing other commentary which wasn’t bad, but not why I subscribed to her channel. I just think she wants to do something else.
Have you ever thought about becoming a paid hair consultant or teacher in a hair school? You seem to like to share knowledge about hair and it is helpful.
I've been working towards starting my own beauty school... Now I have to figure out my situation with my hands so that's taken priority over anything else.
Can you give us a video of you making your smoothies, every time you drink one I wonder what all you put in them. Also side note I hate the word "Hair Hat" I remember a black male TH-camr who is very anti-black use that term to smite black women and it never sat right with me.
I said the same thing about people claiming to be 4c out of nowhere.. I remember seeing the real 4c girls when the hair chart first staring circulating. Everybody is CAP. Lol
This is my first time watching your videos. But it’s nice to see someone else’s opinion on the NHC right now especially on TH-cam. But for me my hair so difficult to deal with I try to train it to be more manageable. Rather than trying to gain a texture i don’t have. & that might go for others as well. But it comes off as is trying to beat our hair into submission.
Your hair isn't something that you train but try to think of it as something that you work with. You wouldn't try to mold stone into a sculpture and you would try to chisel clay into a shape. You adjust your technique to work with your hair and not against it.
Interesting. I’ll be honest: I didn’t know that there were a lot of 4C people on here and I don’t really look for new people. I find myself struggling with TH-cam sometimes because people are just too much. Like, I came here for a specific reason. Yes, I love different personalities, but if you are TOO much, I am not going to watch your videos. Some people just need to stop being....not authentic. I don’t like searching for content within content, you know? I found a few people I like by watching your streams which is what I like about your streams: if your requesters want a general category, you pull up someone who we may not already know. You share the wealth lol *talking about NappyHeadedJojoba’s video
I was lmao at u watchin kev 😂 he did a good vid n u couldn't help but laugh. It's funny seein the vid cause I mess wit oils n herbs n butters too but just for myself.
mm i think you judge starpuppy too harshly. She's an eccentric but soft spoken woman, theres nothing wrong with that. Anyone is entitled to feel that their hair stressful, i think we need to stop with this narrative that black women MUST accept their hair. Unfortunately sometimes it is hard, but they are allowed to feel that way. At least she tries with her hair and above all, she knows her hair the best and does the best she can with that information.
I'm sorry but if every other week you are coming out with a self depreciated titled video about having bad or undesirable hair, to me that sends the wrong message and counterproductive to the negative 4c Hair bias. I just don't get anything out of her videos... I'm not really sure why y'all rock so hard for them to be honest... I couldn't care less how eccentric or different she is or what she's into but I can say I'm at least happy that her hair seems to be in a much better place. Like I said in my video, I'm not opposed to her learning to love her hair but I don't know, many of her videos seem gimmacky and attention seeking for me.
Eh I’m a “fan” of Chrissie & Paris. Although when paris talks about black men I don’t always watch every video/livestream. Listen to people in moderation
I was fina say- I see hella movies with natural gals with hair like mine and have seen in commercials too. It’s not that much but it is there. I agree w/ u!
The second video was a snooze fest. I don't like it when people beat around the bush about other people. Either talk about the person or STFU. Being a coward who wants to blast people is annoying. I really can't wait for her video to be done.
1:19:15 So this is the correct way to do a tapered cut lol. My stylist did something like this on my hair in its natural state tho. Btw Is it okay to used heat from a drier once a week for your wash and goes? I heard from a stylist, it doesn't matter if you deep condition every week, especially if it's indirect heat from a hooded drier.
Haven't watch Chrissy in so long. Her content no longer resonates with me. I feel like her identity is a facade. You can't talk the talk and not walk the walk.
I'm surprised people are still listening to her to this day honestly. I tried to give her a chance but I don't want to support someone who hates me for my skin shade or hair texture.
@@pink1237480 She has never said that she hates light skinned people 🙄 She promotes a platform exclusively geared towards uplifting dark skinned women and girls. Uplifting some does not mean everyone else is hated lol.
@@ToniToussaint there you go. They have to stir things up and get all philosophical and extra so that the video takes time, which equals money, follow the trends, which equal money. It comes down to that. If Jojoba wasn't all about chasing the trends and all of that maybe she would see she could do hair AND do the talking as she does. I mean was her channel REALLY falling thru or something because in all honesty folks could easily dismiss her as just being jealous of everyone and making up weak excuses of "oh its colourism." "oh its texturism." "oh folks just can't handle my hair type." Not a good look there. Folks would say she's just bitter. Naptural85 is a type 4 person. She is successful and Nappyfu is still going so far too, its how your attitude and perspective is.
i dont care about the type of hair i have....i just wish it was thicc-er. i prefer hairstyle videos over the wng and curl popping videos. Most of the hairstyles dont work on my hair unfortunately because the thicc-ness isnt there. trust me...i have tried those styles and it dont come out nowhere near looking like theirs.
im starting to believe many/most of these Tubers are actors and professional people. Time and time again you replicate what they do and its messy in real life. Yet they do things smoothly: hair grows super fast all the time. edges lay down easily even with 4c hair. I mean just all kind of things. I think there are tricks and nacks going on that are being edited out or so. They come off as if they are coming out of acting school or so and getting their "big break" by doing social media "acting" and so here they are. Same with the hair persons its as if they are some celeb hair stylists who are to NEVER tell that publicly so they get online to be a social media star by doing social media acting.
Too Short appears on our screen.. Narada: Who is that? Me: WHO IS THAT!?!?!?!?!?!?! WHHHHAAAAAAA!!!! Now Narada, I know you know Shake That Monkey! lol all love
Re Starpuppy video: ITS NOT JUST YOUUU, I’m completely agree. Her personality is like lowkey annoyed resentful upset sarcastic and dramatic. She needs a box of self esteem for Christmas. So annoying, I can’t stand watching her videos, makes me cringe.
1:23:37 this is the look i was going for when i accidently cut off too much of my hair lmbo i hope i can get it to grow in like this so i can rock this style
Compare Dawn ingredients to regular shampoo - ingredients are just about the same. Lol! I've never used it on my hair, but it's the ONLY soap I buy for my dishes. It's the best!
@@Ay-B I did try Dr. Bronners Castile Soap and Dr. Woods also, but it gets so matted and wool like to the touch. I really don’t know what’s the deal with Dawns Soap, (here in Europe it is called Fairy), but it left my hair residue free and soft. Super strange!!!
The first video was a bit of a drag..I'm not sure what she was trying to get at other than SHE doesn't see 4c hair online, when like you said Narada which I agree with, we see the hair in real life. I see lots of Black women with natural hair, have all my life. Maybe it's because my world does not revolve around toxic influencer culture and being online and giving a shit but it's there. I get that 4c hair doesn't get all the support and stuff but those of us that do support, are you saying our support is not enough? Me sending money to someone's pay pal and thanking them for their content isn't enough? Sharing their videos, and liking them is not enough? What is the goal here? Is the goal to become super popular online or to just enjoy posting content? It's like vegans making "meat-like" foods, it's not ever going to be meat so stop trying. If the shit doesn't curl, stop forcing it. There's also a high chance that I missed the point of the video entirely because I zoned out...a few times. Thanks for the markers because I skipped the rest of this one. lo siento ;|
I have been following you for years, and I love your content, boo. F. U. C. K. Them folks. People always got something to say and ain't saying nothing. They can spend that time bettering something in their life. They should just skip it if they don't agree with it.
I saw this video the other day. She was just mad because she didn't get the response she thought she deserved so she decided to shit on everyone else and play the victim.... 🤦🏾♂️ It was irritating.
Just to be clear, I'm not blaming black women for the faults of ain't-shit Black men... But whether it's problematic black men, colorism, texture bias/discrimination, the toxicity of the NHC... It's not enough to just point out the problem. It's not about blame but about accountability. We need to ask and examine how we collective contribute to the problem. Just like many of us would like to blame biracial curly naturals for "hijacking" the natural hair movement... They can't hijack something unless we hand it over to them...

AfrikanHairGod straight! I am so in love with my kinks!
4C girls' hair looks like a cloud. Who wouldn't want their hair to look like an amazing, soft cloud? Ugh society is so dumb
Right! I have friends that have silky curls and they wish they could get a voluminous twist out like kinky hair can achieve.
J. J. That’s me (although idk about silky lol) but I HATE that I can’t get that level of volume naturally. The fact that society convinced 4C girls that their hair is ugly and not the norm is extremely shameful!
Thank you ❤

Hey Narada! I had a feeling that my descriptions might have been confusing/vague because of how limited the characters are for superchats. I requested the Stlyedby Cre video "Easy silk press for kids no pain". In a previous live, you made a good point about people not accurately being able to perceive a stylist's work and technique based on the pictures and videos that they post on Instagram/TH-cam, especially if they've never had a bad experience w/ a stylist that would give them an idea of what bad traits to look for. That happened to me. I thought I thoroughly looked through the stylist's reviews, pictures, and videos, but I was completely wrong. I didn't take into consideration the fact that some females (that have gone to stylist for years) know how to act to avoid displaying discomfort when they are getting their hair done (i.e. keeping that neck strong so your head doesn't fly back when a stylist's rips a detangling tool from roots to ends). I also didn't take into consideration the fact that I live in St. Louis (these people crazy). Some of these females are getting their hair pulled out in fights every other week, or they're getting it burned out by kitchen beauticians, so I guess she's a half step above that. I had a feeling that it would be hard to perceive, from the video, what I was talking about since the video is short, and it's sped up. However, the part that I wanted to draw your attention to was at the beginning while she was blow drying the first half of the head. She does the tension method (w/o applying tension; letting the hair fly around freely) until the hair is 100% dry. Then, she sends a comb through a large quadrant of hair (regardless of length, texture, or density) from roots to the ends without stopping even if there is resistance. You can also see it at 1:55-2:30 when you slow the video down. She's literally dragging her head around the entire time. In my case, it was a 9 row Denman brush, and she definitely was not receptive to me telling her how my experience was going. In the last comment of the video she was asked why she only blow dryed half of the little girls head, and she respond back saying that she does this so the client doesn't feel so much pulling all at once. I'm not tender headed, but I believe that if you claim to be a natural hair stylist, you should know how to blow dry textured hair without pulling half of it out. I know you can, deeperthanhair can, CYNTHIA can (lol jk) and many other stylist's can to if you're not just trying to rush through as many heads as you can in a day.There were more things that went wrong during the appointment, but I only wanted to focus on this particular part. My goal was to drive home the point that things aren't always as they seem when it comes to SOME of these hairstylist and the content they post.
With kids it's really hard to measure how much they are tugging their head around because many young kids don't know how to hold their head and resist the tension when getting their head pulled from a blow dryer or even just combing and brushing. I'll try to remember this comment and discuss it for my next live stream
@@AfrikanHairGod Thanks for ready all of that... and hopefully this. I think I understand your point. I do think hearing it orally might give me a better understanding though. Based on what I think your saying, you confirmed my point even further. If a child or someone inexperienced in having someone else handle their hair (I do think this little girl has some experience), it will be easy for people to discern whether or not the person's hair is being handled improperly. I know that there's a pretty thick line between an excessive amount of tension and the actual amount of tension required to blow dry highly textured hair (because I have it and I know how to blow dry it properly). The size of the sections you work in, how thoroughly the hair was detangled ahead of time, whether or not you started blow drying from the ends or the roots, how wet the hair was, and how air flow is being directed impacts how much tension is required. Regardless, I can tell that your care about what the client is experiencing while you do their hair. If you felt a lot of resistance at some point while blow drying someones hair, I know you would stop to take care of the knots/tangles properly instead of just ripping through the hair.
Lol she totally did say that she joined the natural hair community to grow her numbers and get free wigs😂 She didn't just jump into a new thing though, her video stated that she was leaving cause there's no point cause of the texture discrimination. She didn't leave out of the blue, she said she was leaving and she left.
I am pretty sure Starpuppy was a theater kid.
2:06:41 tbh, this is probably a similar process to what they do to make hair products. Good video. Nice to have some insight into cosmetic chemistry. 👍
I love chrissie! I think she has an awesome channel! Lol! I think the reason why people in the comments were saying they didn’t like her was because she speaks the truth and nothing but the truth! She doesn’t sugarcoat anything especially when it comes to colorism and the topics surrounding black women’s hair!!!
Yes you have to be ready to digest it and accept reality. The truth is harder to believe than deceptions and lies we make our reality. I wasn’t ready for Chrissie at one point because I was too young and had no experience to understand what she was saying until I’ve witnessed and experienced things she mentioned on my own.
Katrina Roc ❤️
Right, she also calls out black women too calling us fat LMAO. And I take it and make it work. She is the real deal. Her fanbase can be toxic, ya but we in our feelings over there it’s like girl talk.
I love Chrissie, she's like a reality check. I dont see nothing wrong with leveling up which she preaches a lot about and frankly I totally agree with her. M
Yurp! Some naturals have unrealistic exceptions of their hair. 🤷🏾♀️
OMG. Enjoying the time stamps! Thanks!!!
I did not like shampoos at one point because they made my extremely dry hair at the time even more drier. If you’re experiencing that you have to rebalance your hair and put moist back into your hair. Most of the products I’ve came across at the store did not do that. I had to keep it simple and understand how to use heavy butters that are mixed with different ingredients that will seal the moisture in. I’ve natural for over 10years and finally figured out my hair and what it needs. Which is keep it simple. I literally only use 5 different products to maintain my hair and it’s been thriving so much. I no longer use conditioners and Can’t believe what a difference it’s made to KEEP IT SIMPLE!
Not the faces with StarPupper!! mmy god. Someone said she's an actress so I guess that explains her personality. She's one of those creative types. She's cute! I can't subscribe though but I go like her videos a lot without watching them lol.
Star puppy is just too energetic and extra for me! I use to follow her...but I guess I'm too old to flow with her style. 😧😧😂😂
You’re right. Star Puppy is an actress. She loves anime and theater, so she’s very animated. LOL
That makes sense, occasionally cringe but I’m here for the girls lmfaooo
I had to stop watching Chrissy and Paris Milan too. They both have some interesting topics but then it turns into a rant about how awful they think black men and light skinned women are. I wish they could have discussions about colorism without all the vitriol and hatred.
But they tell the truth..so why you mad?
@@idoyes1400 I wish y'all would stop overusing the phrase "why you mad." There's literally nothing in this statement that comes off as mad.
@Worldwide Awakening I’m not mad.... colorism is a problem in our community and needs to be discussed. But crucifying all black men is toxic. And the black men who do have complexes about race are not going to turnaround their beliefs from these videos. It’s just an echo chamber of black women telling each other to jump ship for white/non black men. Their videos are toxic and divisive and this is coming from a dark skinned black woman.
yasmeen yeah I’m about to unsubscribe from them myself. I’ve been watching Chrissie since she was anti interracial couples. Their videos were informative but I’m not trying to listen to a dang 30 minute rant. We get it colorists is the issue. I unsubscribed to the pink pill too because she be saying some stupid stuff. Like I’d even call it offensive and self-hating hatred from that one. I thought the content was cool at first then I realized it’s just hateful and unintelligent. Maybe it’s because I’m not the target audience so I can’t relate to the content anymore,
Agreed!
Had me rollin😂 at (your term)4c fishin but it soooo true and annoying. Also, I was having the same reactions to NappyHeadedJoJoba as you, too funny but sad that she is in this place. I’m with you tho, I see lots of 4c folks here and media. I also am with with you on the Ginacurl young lady, can’t take her seriously. I enjoyed this, happy you got out of here to go skating.
The Lady in the video hair is gorgeous 😍. I consider healthy hair to be good.
3:09:13 We've definitely watched Chrissie before here. On her video on Benny Harlem.
Lol, “ she brings out the mess in me”, you should really think about copyrighting that, just so funny and real, at the same time.
I still like watching of hair tutorials, they usually get those zoom ins that I need to really understand what they are doing.
Missed the live but I'm here to watch it now 😁
Catching the Replay 😃👍😃👍
4cphishing 🤔 I like how you put that. I’m over the back and forth though. I’ll just thumbs down every video on the channel and move on. Next time they pop up on the feed, I know exactly who they are because I already rated them.
I'm 3c and I do a pretty good job on my twists so I think it looks good not basic. I have gotten better at doing twistouts.
I agree, I’ve seen a variety of natural you tubers with different textures it doesn’t do me any good to look at videos with someone who doesn’t have hair like mine. Nappyheadedjojoba was my go to when I started my natural hair journey especially Ayurvedic recipes, after awhile I noticed her content changed up and she seemed to be doing other commentary which wasn’t bad, but not why I subscribed to her channel. I just think she wants to do something else.
Yes. Ive seen several billboards with women with 4c hair
Have you ever thought about becoming a paid hair consultant or teacher in a hair school? You seem to like to share knowledge about hair and it is helpful.
I've been working towards starting my own beauty school... Now I have to figure out my situation with my hands so that's taken priority over anything else.
AfrikanHairGod that’s a great idea!!!
Our "4c Naptual85" was Rustic Beauty.
She literally disappeared, she was probably done with TH-cam drama lol
What ever happened to African Export? I miss her........
@@Gryn651 I loved her!
@@kaydeep7880 she was smart she clocked the tea and dipped before it got hot
@@Gryn651 she walked away from TH-cam all together. I think she just wanted to invest more of her time into her family
I don't get people's dislike for this young lady, she's intelligent, attractive. Very interesting person
Can you give us a video of you making your smoothies, every time you drink one I wonder what all you put in them. Also side note I hate the word "Hair Hat" I remember a black male TH-camr who is very anti-black use that term to smite black women and it never sat right with me.
Yes...I be wanting his smoothie every time!😦😦😦😊
I remember that guy!
STar Puppy dramatic vs AfrikanHairGod being over it lol
The really question is, between the 2 of us... Who is more dramatic?
@@AfrikanHairGod look 😂 I was actually gone put that but I thought you would have taken it the wrong way bc that part was funny
I see 4c fro's on TV... but what so sad about it is the women are playing inmates.
I said the same thing about people claiming to be 4c out of nowhere.. I remember seeing the real 4c girls when the hair chart first staring circulating. Everybody is CAP. Lol
This is my first time watching your videos. But it’s nice to see someone else’s opinion on the NHC right now especially on TH-cam. But for me my hair so difficult to deal with I try to train it to be more manageable. Rather than trying to gain a texture i don’t have. & that might go for others as well. But it comes off as is trying to beat our hair into submission.
Your hair isn't something that you train but try to think of it as something that you work with. You wouldn't try to mold stone into a sculpture and you would try to chisel clay into a shape. You adjust your technique to work with your hair and not against it.
Interesting. I’ll be honest: I didn’t know that there were a lot of 4C people on here and I don’t really look for new people. I find myself struggling with TH-cam sometimes because people are just too much. Like, I came here for a specific reason. Yes, I love different personalities, but if you are TOO much, I am not going to watch your videos. Some people just need to stop being....not authentic. I don’t like searching for content within content, you know? I found a few people I like by watching your streams which is what I like about your streams: if your requesters want a general category, you pull up someone who we may not already know. You share the wealth lol *talking about NappyHeadedJojoba’s video
When you read that Bible thumping comment with a preacher voice...!😭💀🤣
I was lmao at u watchin kev 😂 he did a good vid n u couldn't help but laugh. It's funny seein the vid cause I mess wit oils n herbs n butters too but just for myself.
mm i think you judge starpuppy too harshly. She's an eccentric but soft spoken woman, theres nothing wrong with that. Anyone is entitled to feel that their hair stressful, i think we need to stop with this narrative that black women MUST accept their hair. Unfortunately sometimes it is hard, but they are allowed to feel that way. At least she tries with her hair and above all, she knows her hair the best and does the best she can with that information.
I'm sorry but if every other week you are coming out with a self depreciated titled video about having bad or undesirable hair, to me that sends the wrong message and counterproductive to the negative 4c Hair bias. I just don't get anything out of her videos... I'm not really sure why y'all rock so hard for them to be honest... I couldn't care less how eccentric or different she is or what she's into but I can say I'm at least happy that her hair seems to be in a much better place. Like I said in my video, I'm not opposed to her learning to love her hair but I don't know, many of her videos seem gimmacky and attention seeking for me.
#4cFishing coined by AfrikanHairGod 😉
Eh I’m a “fan” of Chrissie & Paris. Although when paris talks about black men I don’t always watch every video/livestream. Listen to people in moderation
It's very simple. Stop desiring approbation so much. Love your hair even if it's not seen as 'desirable'. What do we care
I had to leave the chat earlier yesterday but anytime you need French translation I’m right here 🤗🤗🤗 that website was just about French radio/TV shows
I was fina say- I see hella movies with natural gals with hair like mine and have seen in commercials too. It’s not that much but it is there. I agree w/ u!
Meg’s husband is so serious about his work!!!
The second video was a snooze fest. I don't like it when people beat around the bush about other people. Either talk about the person or STFU. Being a coward who wants to blast people is annoying. I really can't wait for her video to be done.
I see all the time on tv
1:19:15 So this is the correct way to do a tapered cut lol. My stylist did something like this on my hair in its natural state tho.
Btw
Is it okay to used heat from a drier once a week for your wash and goes? I heard from a stylist, it doesn't matter if you deep condition every week, especially if it's indirect heat from a hooded drier.
I would say gentle indirect heat is fine for a drying a wash n go. I've never experienced any issue from sitting under a hooded dryer to dry my hair
Haven't watch Chrissy in so long. Her content no longer resonates with me. I feel like her identity is a facade. You can't talk the talk and not walk the walk.
Yes, Chrissy is a walking contradiction!
Lynn J I low key feel like these YTers who start off genuine are paid to push BS and take the bait.
I'm surprised people are still listening to her to this day honestly. I tried to give her a chance but I don't want to support someone who hates me for my skin shade or hair texture.
@@pink1237480 She has never said that she hates light skinned people 🙄 She promotes a platform exclusively geared towards uplifting dark skinned women and girls. Uplifting some does not mean everyone else is hated lol.
@@ToniToussaint there you go. They have to stir things up and get all philosophical and extra so that the video takes time, which equals money, follow the trends, which equal money. It comes down to that. If Jojoba wasn't all about chasing the trends and all of that maybe she would see she could do hair AND do the talking as she does. I mean was her channel REALLY falling thru or something because in all honesty folks could easily dismiss her as just being jealous of everyone and making up weak excuses of "oh its colourism." "oh its texturism." "oh folks just can't handle my hair type." Not a good look there. Folks would say she's just bitter.
Naptural85 is a type 4 person. She is successful and Nappyfu is still going so far too, its how your attitude and perspective is.
What is Starpuppy?
She's a TH-camr
i dont care about the type of hair i have....i just wish it was thicc-er. i prefer hairstyle videos over the wng and curl popping videos. Most of the hairstyles dont work on my hair unfortunately because the thicc-ness isnt there. trust me...i have tried those styles and it dont come out nowhere near looking like theirs.
im starting to believe many/most of these Tubers are actors and professional people. Time and time again you replicate what they do and its messy in real life. Yet they do things smoothly: hair grows super fast all the time. edges lay down easily even with 4c hair.
I mean just all kind of things. I think there are tricks and nacks going on that are being edited out or so.
They come off as if they are coming out of acting school or so and getting their "big break" by doing social media "acting" and so here they are. Same with the hair persons its as if they are some celeb hair stylists who are to NEVER tell that publicly so they get online to be a social media star by doing social media acting.
When Ti made that video, I knew you would review it.
Yea that was too grown of a hairstyle for that lil girl.
Important to remember, NappyHeadedJojoba's video was several years ago - better the current proliferation of 4c representation in media.
I get excited tooo!
I don't know why they keep requesting star puppy videos LOL
Idk either
Too Short appears on our screen..
Narada: Who is that?
Me: WHO IS THAT!?!?!?!?!?!?! WHHHHAAAAAAA!!!!
Now Narada, I know you know Shake That Monkey! lol all love
No. But i know that it's time to go song because the play it at the rink when it's time to close lol
@@AfrikanHairGod 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Re Starpuppy video: ITS NOT JUST YOUUU, I’m completely agree. Her personality is like lowkey annoyed resentful upset sarcastic and dramatic. She needs a box of self esteem for Christmas. So annoying, I can’t stand watching her videos, makes me cringe.
Dawn Soap on Natural Hair. White flakes?!! No detangling? BUT I really had strong feelings about this video. 🥴
I missed the live ugh
Oh no. Not chrissie
That's what everyone said lol
@AfrikanHairGod You can watch a video of your choice in the next stream since yall already seen that one. Sry I had to dip out.
No problem will do!
Also SuperiorVibestv posted the stream that I reacted to that below in the comment work the time stamps if you want to check it out
1:23:37 this is the look i was going for when i accidently cut off too much of my hair lmbo i hope i can get it to grow in like this so i can rock this style
I have used Dawn soap in my wavy hair and surprisingly it felt so smooth and soft!
Compare Dawn ingredients to regular shampoo - ingredients are just about the same. Lol! I've never used it on my hair, but it's the ONLY soap I buy for my dishes. It's the best!
@@Ay-B I did try Dr. Bronners Castile Soap and Dr. Woods also, but it gets so matted and wool like to the touch. I really don’t know what’s the deal with Dawns Soap, (here in Europe it is called Fairy), but it left my hair residue free and soft. Super strange!!!
4cphishing.. true, true
Yuuuuuup there are so many 4c fishers. I've seen 3c girls label their videos 4c to get 4c views. It's annoying
The first video was a bit of a drag..I'm not sure what she was trying to get at other than SHE doesn't see 4c hair online, when like you said Narada which I agree with, we see the hair in real life. I see lots of Black women with natural hair, have all my life. Maybe it's because my world does not revolve around toxic influencer culture and being online and giving a shit but it's there. I get that 4c hair doesn't get all the support and stuff but those of us that do support, are you saying our support is not enough? Me sending money to someone's pay pal and thanking them for their content isn't enough? Sharing their videos, and liking them is not enough? What is the goal here? Is the goal to become super popular online or to just enjoy posting content?
It's like vegans making "meat-like" foods, it's not ever going to be meat so stop trying. If the shit doesn't curl, stop forcing it.
There's also a high chance that I missed the point of the video entirely because I zoned out...a few times. Thanks for the markers because I skipped the rest of this one. lo siento ;|
Thank you sis! What you said is real 💯❤❤and substantial! 👍
I think her point was that many bw with 4c trying to make their hair what it isn’t.

I have been following you for years, and I love your content, boo. F. U. C. K. Them folks. People always got something to say and ain't saying nothing. They can spend that time bettering something in their life. They should just skip it if they don't agree with it.
I saw this video the other day. She was just mad because she didn't get the response she thought she deserved so she decided to shit on everyone else and play the victim.... 🤦🏾♂️ It was irritating.
