  • @benedicta221
    @benedicta221 3 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    I am just happy you really explained and told the TRUTH about free forms. To be honest I was not expecting your take, and you nailed pretty much every misconception about allowing da hair to freely form. The only advice I would give is that the idea that hair above 3B is "best" for free forms is not correct and a misleading, I understand where you are coming from especially after seeing the picture examples you put up. However there is no such thing as a best free form look. Hair left untouched/unmanipulated will mat and lock. The hair type does play a role in how the matted hair look will appear, however this does not make it any less of a free form than hair above 3B. Free form look is not tied to a certain hair texture class. Thanks again for the vid man, really appreciate your sharing

    • @w00daperky67
      @w00daperky67 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Everyone already knows “the TRUTH” about not needing products n tools to get freeforms🤦🏽‍♂️
      The difference is 1 week of sponging your hair is way more progress than 1 week of doing nothing to your hair, n products lile locking gel will speed the locking process up

    having straight hair, if I towel rub for a couple mins to dry em, but do nothing else, is that still fully freeform? ill probably stop soon, just felt like I had to help em a long to start bc freeforms on straight hair are kinda tough, and I started from short hair too

    • @benedicta221
      @benedicta221 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      yeah air dry usually in the sun or in the wind outside, if you dont have that luxury, then blow dry on very low heat/ cool. Towel drying/wrapping is also cool but that should not be left in for too long as you can risk you hair getting mildewy and eventually smelly.

      @@fiddy9fiddy at first I was washing 2-3 times a week and now I’m down to about twice a month, more often if necessary. If you suddenly start washing your hair less often you’ll get a lot of sebum and oil buildup and it won’t knot up. It’s best to keep it clean at first and slowly start adding days between washes to keep the scalp healthy.
