      @brittany.381 5 лет назад +15

      You can get rid of excessive shedding with using rice water (so I've heard) or ayurvedic herbs that specially target that problem.

    • @alisonhilaire4170
      @alisonhilaire4170 5 лет назад +24

      Shedding can be linked to iron deficiency, excessive stress or other health issues. Best to check with a doctor to be on the safe side.

  • @merkabamagick9096
    @merkabamagick9096 4 года назад +89

    Why doesn’t anyone talk about texture when it comes to the feel (how heavy the hair strand is) and look (how naturally shiny it is) such as coarse, wiry, silky, cottony. You can have the same curl pattern as someone but have a different texture. 4a with silky texture and a 4a with cottony texture will look and act differently. I have HIGH density 3c hair but my hair is silky in texture so it looks & behaves differently than high density 3c with a wiry texture. Some naturals say they have multiple textures throughout their heads. Never see anyone talk about this.

      YESSSSSSS I WAS JUS DEBATING WITH SB IN A COMMENT SECTION ABOUT DIS RIGHT HEREEEEE, im so happy im not the only one dat thinks like this bc i feel like its important because for the longest i thought i could make my hair silky n make my curls naturally clump like the typical 2a-3a hair. i was using soooo many products n then i jus come to realize that my hair texture jus isnt like that. i wish it was sooo bad cuz i jus wish i could get shine n definition w/o haveing to do a 2 hr "wash n go"🤣 ppl with silky hair also seem to get less single strand knots and their hair is easier to detangle bc when they hair jus so soft n silky so the brush slips through they hair bc its so silky yk? i also realized that they curls naturally clump n they hair soaks up product really nice so its real easy to detangle n glide through so their hair is easily managed

      Check out Latoya Ebony's video 'The real reason you can't find your hair type' or 'The difference between 4b and 4c hair'. She talks about hair texture in terms of look and feel. Wiry, cottony, silky, and so on. She tests her own hair in the video.

    @Crewelperleology 5 лет назад +8

    "Frizz" as I know it, pertains to strands of hair separating or raising from each lock, or group of curls, resulting in puffiness around the remaining hair. Sort of like when you brush against knitted mohair. Shrinkage on the other hand, is when the curls draw up closer together, much in the way that a Slinky toy does.

    The nostraightened side of the illustrative cartoon reminds me of my "detangled" hair texture (4:52).
    My shrinkage doesn't bother me. My concern is tangles and knots. If I did not detangle my hair a couple of times a week, my hair naturally dreads (or permeantly knots). Which would be fine if I was choosing to wear it that way.
    I have not used heat on my hair since I big chopped in 2014. I airdry and am only willing to use heat with a plastic cap and head dryer for occossional deep conditioning. No hand held dryers, flat irons, curling irons, etc....

    I honestly don’t understand how to simply finger detangle. My strands stick and clump together. When I use my fingers, that clump just passes between my fingers and I end up missing it completely. A comb is the only thing that will alert me that those clumps are there and help me to break it apart. The clumps form from shed hair wrapping itself around a group of curls.

    I have about 70% shrinkage and it’s NO FUN....that’s why I either have it tension blow-dried or in a crochet to make my life easier.
    It’s time to take my hair down from my crochet and I am excited about having my hair again. The power of a good haircut/trim also makes difference in just the ease of styling and holding the shape of those twists and creating the style you want.
