'What is my hair type?' - A Practical Approach

If you have ever wondered or asked, "what is my hair type," or "how do I figure out what my hair type is," this is for you! In this sit-down, I attempt to help you understand the structure of your hair in a more practical way instead of based on a category system.

I could listen to you talk about hair ALLDAY everyday lol

I have 4, different textures on my head, seriously. I pay no mine to that hair typing chart. In the beginning I too was trying to figure out what box I fit in, not anymore. I've learned to just embrace my hair and love whatever it does. Great video, thanks.

Somebody with a large platform needed to say this...and I'm so glad it was you! When it comes to actually taking care of your hair, your "hair type" is about as important as your astrology sign. Useless label! Amen, Mo!

[Aurumfae]

this video was on point about everything! I have 3 textures in my head and that chart doesn't do crap for me lol I wish everyone could see this video and learn how do really take care of THEIR hair!

GIRRRRLLL ....LITERALLY THANK YOU. ..I'M LITERALLY WRITING THIS WITH TEARS IN MY EYES . WOW THE POWER OF KNOWLEDGE AND ENLIGHTENMENT ... THANK YOU

I found that this video was very helpful. I use to be so obsessed about my hair type and wonder why God didn't bless me with a certain hair type. Now I do not care what my hair type is. I just care about the health of my hair. I have been a subscriber of yours for at least four years. You have showed me how to do a protein and elasticity treatment. I have went to your blog and followed your monthly hair routine. And you have and will always be my hair crush, lol. I want to congratulate you on your growth, successes and your new hair salon and the many more blessings that God has in store for you.

LOVED this😩! People (myself included) get so caught up on categorizing themselves that they miss out what truly works for them because it's not the "norm" So THANK YOU Mo this was a really great video! 👏🏽😊

"Yes you need to shampoo your hair... It is not an option! You need to wash your hair..." Yes, Yes and YES!!! LOL I love it!!! I agree 1, 000%

[sadiqua]

Appointment made! I had no idea you opened a salon!!! Congratulations, and right by my job!? PERFECT!

[mynaturaldestiny]

Thank you for sharing. Hair care has become so complicated. As a child, my mom never thought about the porosity, density, elasticity, texture, or pattern of my hair. Lol. She kept my hair and scalp clean. She ensured that my hair was looking good all the time. And my hair thrived. My mom always stressed that we not play in our hair. Hair care was simple.

I did not know you opened a salon here! I will be there ASAP!

[DS-Trina]

You bursted my hair typing bubble. You also bursted my hair vitamin bubble. It's ok though....I needed to hear the truth....LOLOL. Thanks Mo!

[Regularblackgirl]

Mo, you ain't lying about the hair vitamins. My best friend was taking biotin for over a year and as soon as she stopped her hair started to thin out.

[shimmy]

When I started watching your videos almost a year ago my hair was too trained from getting pressed often and I wasn't using the right products to preserve my natural curls. After taking your advice on experimenting with different products until I found the right ones to use at the right times my hair has become so much more healthier and it's all curly now (of course I had to cut off the damage). Thanks to your advice my hair is truly at it's full potential! It's longer and thicker. You are amazing!

[Goziah]

Mo this is dope! my mom is a cos teacher of 10 years & she would constantly say that chart is not in the milady or click cos book! thx for letting YouTube university know the real deal!

[MsCaldwellU]

My hair is wavy and I'm glad you addressed that people see my hair and always ask are you mixed I'm like why African Americans can't have nice wavy hair

[trinjuwan]

I love the way you articulated what has become seemingly complicated in the natural hair community. Obviously hair care is your business & passion, but you are gifted at public speaking.

[eboney]

I just learned about your channel when I picked up my prescriptions at CVS the other day. They all know me by name but 1 of the girls asked me how I liked a hair care product I was purchasing and we talked for 15 min about deep conditioning and shared products we liked and didn't like. She told me you were the best one out here and that your videos were informative. I've become overwhelmed with all the videos and the money I'm spending on products. I'm confused on my hair type and have quickly learned that 4c doesn't help me really care for my hair. I've done the float test but I'm doing it again tonight so I can test different strands. I believe it's low perosity but not sure on the the rest. I asked er to write down your info and here I am!!

Thank you for your professionalism and easy to understand explanations. I'm here to soak up everything I can from you.

[TrinaHoward]

YAAAS!!! MO you broke it all the way down. I am so tired of everyone saying what their hair can't do. Stop using products that everyone else use and stop trying to get your hair to look like someone else. Embrace your type, understand your hair and Rock that Natural hair.

[agbaby]

And this is why I go to mo knows hair! She's real, honest and knows what she is talking about! I was a hot mess with my hair (and Mo let me know I was) just doing too much!! I can honestly say I love the difference I see in my hair now!
Mo knows hair is the truth!💁🏽
