I find it so interesting that today, I was thinking about the impracticality of racial categories as they always exclude ethnic groups that don't follow the 'rule'. I definitely think we should could continue to categorise people by ethnicity rather than perceived race as it's more accurate as well as authentic to how those ethnic groups view themselves too♡.
I am white. When I was a young woman, I had wavy blonde hair. In my late twenties, I had my first baby. During my pregnancy, my hair changed from blonde to light brown. With my second pregnancy a year later, my hair changed from slightly wavy to tight corkscrew curls. It remained that way for twenty years. Now at 63 I am blonde again with silver streaks, still very curly. My hairline changed as well, from straight to a definite widow's peak. Not receding, just reshaped.
Makes sense. When healthy textured hair is aligned, this explains WHY it looks so shiny, healthy and beautiful! It's naturally the shiniest type of hair. Science is very cool. Thanks to the GREATEST Scientist EVER! 🙏🏿👑APTTMH. So interesting, hair study. 🙎🏿🙎🏿🙎🏿🙎🏿
I had to rewind the part about 'textured hair being naturally shinier than straight hair'! However, your explanation about the elliptical shape allowing light to be reflected more easily makes total sense. So we're only being told part of the truth when we hear that naturally kinky hair just has a dull appearance due to possible cuticle damage and non-clumped strands. They've left out the part about natural kinky hair being the shiniest! Who knew?! Thank you for shedding the light on this!💡 (bad puns intended)😊
Trini here 🇹🇹 I definitely learned the two possibilities of why my hair has its dull appearance. I had to watch the video a couple times, it very informative. I love you videos, you take time to explain in such a way which is easily understood and you're so pleasant, thanks for sharing .
I love what you do… keep in mind… you’re studying and it goes back to American libraries… think of doing research in Africa too cuz environment counts as well.
Hey beauty! Really glad to read this - I'm planning on returning to TH-cam. You can DM me on IG - instagram.com/Naturallyhigh__. Could this work for you?

I love that as a youtuber that's into hair you actually got out and are getting some formal education on hair to pass along to us.🙌🏾
I’m a medical laboratory scientist so I loved this! Thanks!

Love this! Not enough of us talking about the fact that hair care is a science. Great video sis. Thanks for including sources and educating us.
This was very educational! I love how your channel tackles natural hair from a very scientific view which is very unique!
Thought straight hair was considered to be shiny. A natural textured hair was considered to have a sheen.
Love your nails 😍

Woii! Hello there 👋🏿 this is a pleasant comment to see. Thank you for leaving it. Glad you learnt something ✨
Whoa, what an informative, high-quality video! Thanks for sharing all of this.
You did an excellent job explaining follicles and all… 🙌🏾
Another great video! Keep up the good work!
Aww thank you! I hope you learnt something, Abbey!
I love what you do… keep in mind… you’re studying and it goes back to American libraries… think of doing research in Africa too cuz environment counts as well.
This research takes place in labs in Africa, North America and Europe.
@@NaturallyHigh that's reassuring to know.
Awesome.
❤️
Interesting. I guess black men who wear waves in their hair achieve the shiny wave pattern by repeatedly brushing the hair to align all the fibers.
Great observation!!
Hey
Shout out from Barbados !
You're first! Big up!
That smile and that accent… got me
Nice filming location! ^^
Awww - glad you like it! I'll miss it when I leave Austria.
Beautiful as always
Thank you Love!
Hi🤗 could you please make an updated video on hair clumping? Like your whole routine and if you also wash your hair in the clumps
What is it not washing afros 🤮🤮🤮
could you do a vid on the evolutionary purpose of afro textured hair?
Love your page I learn a lot.
I'm so glad!
I've been saying to exclude race from this topic of hair, glad I'm not the only one.
I really love your videos. Please keep doing them. Also, is there a way that I can write you directly for a quick question?

Great video thank you so much for how much you share🔥❤
This is soooo informative
Hi, I am suprised about the light reflection part. I have always heard that straight dark hair tend to be the shinniest.
Darker hair is shinier but the rounded strands don’t reflect light as much as elliptical ones.
That was very interesting, thank you 😊
Now this makes sense why 4c hair can be prone to breakage 😮
Please more videos like this
I always wanted to know is it true that textured hair has generally thinner ends.
All hair does. :)
@@NaturallyHigh thanks
3.55 what ar the implications of this
