    Just want to comment because I'm a white man about to marry a black 4c girl whos given up on her hair and always hated it. I asked her if I could do research and we could walk this out together with more love and compassion and she said yes.
    You bring up so many important points that really help me better grasp how difficult this can be for 4c women.
    At the end of the day my goal is that I hear my future wife and best friend say she loves her hair, and I think part of that journey is loving yourself truly internally.

    YESYESYES realizing no amount of twist outs, products, oil, and whatever other concoctions the natural hair community is obsessed with, is going to magically give you 3c hair that's long and shiny was the biggest hurdle to get over for me. Once I started being realistic and looking for people with hair like mine, i learned how to take care of MY hair. And it grew(not a lot but, still), got thicker, less breakage, the whole nine.

Seems we all want to be middle of the road yet be unique at the same time (white girls tan, perm their hair, and try to get bigger lips & booties....black girls try to go the opposite...both just want to meet in the middle). Now that I'm older, I'm better at appreciating what God gave me. He made you beautiful just the way you are...

Coming to the realization that it will never be anything but 4c made me more determined to love it the way it is, even when it does look conforming.

    Thanks for affirming this for me; I went through a phase where I was researching the power of hair A LOT and came to the realisation that even telling ourselves that our hair is “hard to handle” or takes “a long time to do” is a negative way of loving our hair & in return we neglect it by not seeing our hair in a positive light. Since I stopped proclaiming such beliefs, my hair started growing a lot esp. as I started wearing it out more and taking better care of it!

      I can relate! I have in Nubian twists now, but I recently did cut off a lot of my ends, my hair has just been DRY AS HELL🤦🏾‍♀️. I can also say I have not been deep conditioning my hair enough so maybe that's why it's been so dry?what do you think? Is a deep conditioner necessary? I will just use some tressemme conditioner and that's it, maybe it's not enough. My hair is several textures of type 4. yes, I drink 💦, 😅. my hair shrinks ALOT over 75%. Not sure what to do with it now🤷🏾‍♀️. I don't want to leave these twists in for too long because it's been like almost 3 weeks and it feels dry😄.

    • @sihintsegay6918
      @sihintsegay6918 Год назад +4

      @AfroMystik if I can add my two cents, deep conditioning regularly can make a world of difference! I honestly don’t expect much from regular conditioner and feel like my deep conditioner is my real conditioning step. I deep condition every time I wash my hair and it works for me! TGIN has some good ones and I usually leave it on overnight or put a cap on and sit under a dryer for like 30 minutes if possible. Depending on your hair you may not need to deep condition every wash, but maybe feel it out.
      Also dryness in your twists might be helped by spritzing a little mixture of conditioner and water ( mostly water and a dollop of conditioner) on your twists and a little oil to seal that in. Make sure your twists dry fully tho afterwards

Like you said deep conditioning must be done. I think my hair has been missing it. Because the regular conditioner is not cutting it! My hair drys very quickly, and soaks up product fast since having a second baby 6 and 2, I don't have time!!! I rush through it . But now I'm going to just dedicate an hr and take my time to deep condition. Btw do you think I should continue to add twist extensions not sure if that could be drying my hair out more also🤔

    i remember being so frustrated with thin brittle 4c hair and finding your channel when you were just as frustrated. Your hair growth since then is unbelievable, just amazing. Im still struggling but have seen some improvement and growth. I've kind of resigned myself to the fact that as a 40s woman, possibly premenopausal, my hair will grow, but slowly, so i will continue to take care of it and just accept it as it is. if it flourishes, great, if not...well, what to do. Pointless stressing about it. One thing i will say is that youth definitely plays a role. Your hair hair has the opportunity to thrive before you hit that stage where hormonal and other issues causes the hair to not flourish as much

    Positive self-talk is such a game changer. There was a time where I told someone something like "When I'm home by myself it's like being left alone with someone who really doesn't like me." It was BAD. Then, I made a rule: I'm not allowed to say anything to myself or talk to me in any way that I wouldn't use when speaking to someone else. I would NEVER EVER call another person lazy or stupid, but I did it to myself constantly. It took a while for my inner voice to recalibrate- it didn't have anything nice to say, so it wasn't allowed to say anything at all - but that silence created a space for new conversations. After the compulsive self-dragging stopped, I started asking myself what I would say to my spouse if they were struggling and being as harsh with themselves as I was. It was like a light flicked on.
    The idea of my husband beating himself up about things he could help really hurt me, and this ridiculous exercise helped me empathize with myself for the first time. After that, my internal voice became this super annoyingly supportive cheerleader coaching me through my difficulties. They know the difference between "I can't because I don't feel good, and I need a break," and "I can't because I really don't want to," and they gently talk me through both situations. I'm reminded that I need breaks and that it's better for everyone if I take them, or I get kicked into gear with comments like, "I know you're really tired, but I know you can keep running for another minute. You've already run for five minutes, so one minute is nothing: you can do this!"
    I know it's just my internal dialogue, and not another person, but it's so different that it feels like a different person - and I'm a completely different person because of it. It felt so silly in the beginning, but it literally changed everything. I'm happier than I ever believed I could be.

    Your hair has definitely grown a lot! I think if you were to do another hair series, you could do one that focuses on embracing shrinkage rather than running from it. It's just what our hair naturally does. Just letting my hair live where it wants without having to stretch it has helped me appreciate and love the beauty of my "short looking" hair. I am also able to measure my growth based on the bigness of my hair instead of feeling inclined to pull out a measuring tape. I have been wearing wash n go's without stretching them and have fallen in love with how my hair sits without any coaxing. This shifted my mindset about my hair to a different level.

    this gives me so much hope. I’ve been realllly feeling it lately after removing my crochet and detangling my hair + the works, but with all my hair loss it feels like I’ve gotten no where.
    Whilst I feel it’s more a case of being unable to afford anything more than basic shampoo and conditioner (alongside a generally stressful environment) I’m nevertheless feeling hopeful to keep it protective so I can bide time until I can properly progress in my journey :D❤

    • @cerealis_5432
      @cerealis_5432 Год назад +13

      If it helps, I personally just deep condition and don’t even bother w/ regular conditioner anymore unless I need it for detangling. Also, you can make deep conditioner out of regular conditioner using olive oil and honey. If that method works for u, maybe the money saved on conditioner can be spent on a good leave in!

For the longest time I was very hard on myself and how my hair looked (especially because of the negative comments I would receive sometimes) and I had this mindset that once my hair was a certain length that I would love it. This video has helped me become patient and loving towards my hair in its current state and I feel more confident and happy about it than I ever have before! Thank you so much again, I really love your content!
