Finding your hair type

I wanted to take a second and discuss hair type and texture. It's kind of a touchy subject for some and a useful tool for others.. Here are some tips on how to assess your hair type beyond just the letters and numbers. No matter what hair type you are, taking care of your hair starts with understanding your limitations with heat and chemical services. Most importantly loving your hair makes the biggest difference. Smile, you're beautiful. xo

Who else’s hair crazy like it’s straight, wavy, and curly all together like different parts of your head

Wish you could give examples of photos of women who have each type of hair so it would be easier to see where my hair looks like the model instead of trying to figure out by just looking at a graph

I am 68 years old and TODAY I finally understand my hair type. I have struggled my whole life trying to manage my hair. In the 60s, the Afro freed me for the first time! I had an enormous fro and felt hair confidence at last. But corporate America wasn’t into the fro so after college the real struggle began. Perms, relaxers, heat...you name it. And none of it really worked. Anytime the humidity was over 60%, my ‘do’ was history. So I did the big chop and I’ve been here for roughly 40 years. When short, my hair is an acceptable mix of frizz and curl. But it MUST be cut frequently or the old problems return. And now add the more wirey texture of grey hair into the mix. Now I want to try the Wash and Go technique. Based on your EXCELLENT video, I’m thinking I’m 3c, 4a, maybe some 4b, porous and thin in some spots from damage over the years. It’s definitely worth the effort and who knows; my new growth may make me proud! I wish we had historically understood our unique beauty. Thank you so much 😊! After all, better late than never!

Curly Hair is nice and all until you have to whip out the comb/brush

Or when your aunts are always telling you to give them your hair

Or when strangers decide to touch it.
Yep. It's definitely perfect

My hair holds tons of water. If I get stuck in a desert, all I need to do is squeeze my hair and I'll have water for days 😂

[adrianameyer]

after every shower it's a surprise if it's gonna be a 2a or a 3a or something in between

[사라-tg]

I got all the 3 types (3a/3b/3c) and it’s a struggle to style. Respect to type 4 ladies rockin’ the the styles!

Bruh I haven't seen one person say it but she is just stunning

[TeKeyaKrystal]

4c, dense, coarse, low porosity ... yes, it's a struggle

[Depplova]

I just have a hair salad - everything from 2c to 4a. I just make sure I moisturise and keep the beast happy. Lol

I can not express to you how much i appreciate you doing these videos...Thank

[symonelopez-mondy]

I don't even bother with this hair chart. I just know i have black people hair. It looks like 3c/4a but i just stopped caring about that and i just want healthy hair.

My hair is like 2b 2c 3a and 3b mixed together

[rosemari]

This was really helpful, especially for a girl who's not black/mixed but has naturally curly hair!! My hair definitely ranges from 3c-4a depending on the day! Thank you so much!!
