I appreciate everything you said. Our hair is beautiful! It's important to learn to love our hair. Our hair may not look like another's and you're right--it's not supposed to. Very encouraging!
I learned that my hair is not the same as someone else's in the videos I watch lol. I learned that the hard way when I did a Bantu knot out. But now when I do it my way, my hair is popping 👏🏾👏🏾. All 4C is not created equal lol (that goes for other hairstyles)
Natural hair has so many different variations. When we follow hair tutorials online like you said we gotta realize that they may not turn out exactly like the person in the tutorial lol. Great video!!!
Can I just say BEAUTIFUL! Look at the movement on that thing Honey, and the definition. I have no idea why you didn't like it. But I understand (I think). Am I the only one who is subscribed to ONLY 4c textured RUclipsrs whose texture is just like mine? Texturism? Maybe, but it keeps me grounded.
+Nappy Fu that's exactly what I mean. Like - this person gets it. She knows the struggle, so I can listen to her. And whatever results she gets, I can reproduce.
Amen...Ms Fu. your such a hair savior...lol my girls wont listen to me, but the will listen to The Ms FU.. thanks lady for brighting my struggle. ~luv u luv me luv many~
Giiiiiirrrrrllll you just spoke the truth! 4c hair is very Unique....i definitely learn that all technique, products and style dont work out for everyone! Your hair still turned out nice! tfs
Girl that’s a bomb Bantu knot out. I’m watching you and learning. I actually look forward to trying out this style. I don’t have your length or density, but ima still try it.
Your hair looks very good to me in this bantu knot out tutorial. I like the technique you used for creating this style. I am also 4c hair type I've worn my hair natural three years now still counting. Watching this video has inspired me to finally do a bantu knot out using your same technique. Thank you Nappy Fu.
Yes, to letting go of the expectations regarding the outcome of styles that you are doing based on someone else's results. Thanks for reminding me of this fact. I would add growth expectations based on the growth rate of many here on RUclips. I don't care what the average rate of growth is, you may not be the average. So let the expectations go and just let your hair do what it do.
The results came out cute girl! & The one thing that I learned in my journey was to leave my hair alone. My hair thrives better in protective styles instead of leaving it out. This is just what works for me.
I absolutely agree with you what you talked about on your video what I have learned all 4c natural hair is NOT ALL THE SAME!".. so you try different natural hairstyles and if it come out the way that it comes out that's just the way your hair is some hair products may work for 4 C hair and some don't everybody's 4c hair type is different thumbs up on the video:-) keep up the good work on your success
You are such a doll and this video was so so true! I love the bantu knot out results but BAYBEE, the expression on your face! I've learned that my grey hair is cool and my hair looks better and HEALTHIER than it ever has before in life. I used to just say "okay" when people complimented me on my hair but now I see that they are correct - it's FUNKY FO SHO, Hahahahahaha! Thanks sweetie, appreciated this!
I just took mine out today for church after I had it in for 2 days and that's exactly how looked. I got so sad, but I learned that I'm different and how to appreciate the fact that I actually have hair to do.
What's up Grandma Fu, lmao. Your hair looked beautiful girl. That flat twist Bantu knot out had curls for days, yasssss. You would have gotten several days out of it since it was so tight.
I am transitioning and experimenting right now. I know I have 4c hair and am working on the moisturevand finding the products that will work best for me. Your videos are the ones I relate to the most. I have to get back into the habit of actually doing my hair again. I was the queen of ponytails or just bumping the ends. I am going to try bantu knots this weekend. Wish me luck.
I did my bantu knots in reallllly small sections on already stretched hair...the first day i took them down...i was disappointed with my results but i still rocked it! But OMG the second third and fourth day hair...u couldn't tell me nothing lol once the curls dropped some i had the stretch i was looking for....I def understand where youre coming from as a fellow 4c
I do love this style. Very cute and I did the EXACT same thing. It took me almost a year to realize tha my hair is different from the natural vlooger I was watching/fixated on at the time. I also had to come to grips that just because someone is natural the same amount of time as you does not mean your hair will grow at the same rate. I'm still have to remind myself of that one :/
I felt like that very early on in my hair journey. it was short lived for me tho. I found vids and youtubers like you who explained and showed me the many beauty of type 4 hair.
Lol! I saw the final fluffed out result of your hair and was thinking, "how did it not come out right?". It looked great Nappy Fu. Thanks for posting it up!! :)
I think your hair looked great! For more stretch do a 2 strand twist and bantu knot the twists. You can also hairpin the bantu to the opposite side of your head or try using hair ties and put them in ponytails overnight. These all have worked for me. Hope it works for you. XO!
I know this is an older vid, but there's still a couple things that I learned around this time. I learned that my brain and my hands not tryna work together for a flat twist or a cornrow. Nope not happening, and I refuse to have to cut out chunks of tangles like that one time when I tried to learn. smh I also learned that my hair isn't 4c no matter what I thought or was told. Its amazing how many people think that putting a styling product on wet hair changes its type. It was only after watching true 4c girls do their wash and go's that I realized I really was not a "loser textured 4c", like what!?! I now know that means your hair is a 4a or 4b. Lawd the stuff people say, and truely believe. What were you thinking. Your hair was gorgeous! Glad you mind caught up to your hair. LoL
My length now is the same as yours in this video and I avoid Bantu knots for the same reason! Our textures are pretty much the same and I would love it if you did a "hanging Bantu knot" tutorial for this technique that you speak of. If you didn't do one already, of course.
It looked good in my opinion once you fluffed it out. Bantu isn't for me either. I get best results with flat twist forward with a knotted end. Never fails me. Thanks again for sharing girl!
You hair actually came out great! When I had pressed hair and permed hair, this is how my hair looked on Day 1. I would put it in a pony tail quick and in a hurry. It's interesting to see something similar on natural hair.
I learned my 4c hair is protein sensitive so I stopped using products with protein in them. Now my hair is happy and flourishing. My hair would grow fast and thick but keep breaking and knotting up when I washed it, and I didn't know why. But with prayer and trying different products, I finally found my holy grail. I've been natural for about 5 years now and just found out my perfect natural hair routine last year. Natural hair definitely takes time and patience
healthyis13eautiful A beautiful testimony! Thank you for sharing! i especially like that you PRAYED! I've prayed, too! Haven't found my hair groove yet, but I'm experimenting! 😁😁😁
Mine comes out just like yours did. I've learned to look forward to second day hair, that's when I get the most volume and stretch. I only get three days of wearing my hair out before I have to re-twist. And, my hair doesn't like to be fluffed or separated so I have to make smaller sections if I want definition and wear the twisted bantu knots for at least a whole day to make sure it sets correctly. If not she is going to frizz immediately.
I actually think you look beautiful in this video!!! I love my 4C hair. It's crazy in the sense that you just neva know whats it's gonna do or not do next.
This was really inspiring :) I tend to do the same but now after watching this video, I look at my hair in a different light so thank you so much for that
+NappyFu Girl your results were great! It looks really cute. I think this style complements your face as well. Can we say... #froenvy lol😍😀 love your channel. Thanks for helping me learn how to make this 4c do what it do. 😊
not knowing what to put on my hair when it broke off! do I need protein or moisture? my strands were both long and Short. when I added moisture still broke off, do I added protein oil and it still broke off while I comb it. I grateful for your channel! my hair if much better
New Subbie! You are hilarious lol I have a question though, how do you alter a shampoo to help moisturize to our best benefit? It was from that 4 tips your regimen isn't working video.
Lmfao. whenever I use just a curling cream my hair comes out bad, but when I apply a mixture of shea butter and coconut oil it comes out pretty good. I learnt that the hard way
I kept my hair in braid extensions during the first part of my natural journey because my hair did not look as I expected it too. I regret not enjoying that initial phase.
I flat ironed my hair thinking my hair was going to be fine and I got a little heat damage in the back and I thought it was from not having the right heat protector. Then for my birthday I got it flat ironed again and I got severe heat damage it was so bad it looked like I was stretching my relaxers so now I learn the my baby (my hair) can't take that kind of direct heat. So a couple of months ago I cut most of heat damage off, all that I could see and i started styling my hair like I did before the damage but for some reason my nape area wouldn't curl and so I kept cutting it thinking it was just the ends but it's not it is damaged all the way to the root so I have decided to get a undercut so I can grow it back out healthy and strong.
Was it Whitney aka Naptural85 or Taren916? Cause that's where Naptural85 got it from. There's so many people who does that style I'm pretty sure it's not one of them 😂. And it wasn't bad Nappyfu. I liked it alot as it got older like you said 😊❤
I've learned that I CANNOT style my hair on wet hair/put styling product on Wet hair and expect it to be something other than dry and tangled. Just barely damp is best. Smh.
Chillllllllle.....at least your ends didn't come out frizzy like mine always do. And I could bathe my ends in oil and they still frizz up. I'm still figuring out how to make my twist outs and knot outs look presentable.
The #1 mistake I've made as a natural is not sticking with what works with me. The ONLY conditioner that works for me is pantien relaxes and natural, I have to use soap nuts to shampoo my hair and Shea butter and coconut oil to seal my moisture. When I deviate from this, all heck breaks loose
I appreciate everything you said. Our hair is beautiful! It's important to learn to love our hair. Our hair may not look like another's and you're right--it's not supposed to. Very encouraging!

I'm trying so hard to love my 4c hair. she's wild and gravity can't hold a candle to her. nice video
Those results were beautiful! You live and you learn!! I'm glad that you revisited this and recognized it for what it was!!
Can I just say BEAUTIFUL! Look at the movement on that thing Honey, and the definition. I have no idea why you didn't like it. But I understand (I think). Am I the only one who is subscribed to ONLY 4c textured RUclipsrs whose texture is just like mine? Texturism? Maybe, but it keeps me grounded.
+Nappy Fu that's exactly what I mean. Like - this person gets it. She knows the struggle, so I can listen to her. And whatever results she gets, I can reproduce.
I remember that bantu knot out video... Once you loosened the curl more I thought it looked age appropriate and beautiful! And it still does!
Amen...Ms Fu. your such a hair savior...lol my girls wont listen to me, but the will listen to The Ms FU.. thanks lady for brighting my struggle. ~luv u luv me luv many~
Oh my God it came out beautiful, sister!
Giiiiiirrrrrllll you just spoke the truth! 4c hair is very Unique....i definitely learn that all technique, products and style dont work out for everyone! Your hair still turned out nice! tfs

But it so hard too tho

i love it you didn't used more products for your hair,4c hair is different for any people but i think that i am the same quality as you
You are such a doll and this video was so so true! I love the bantu knot out results but BAYBEE, the expression on your face!

It took me foreeeever to get this! Your hair looked really cute - I still can't get my bantu knot outs that uniform. Great thoughts!
I did my bantu knots in reallllly small sections on already stretched hair...the first day i took them down...i was disappointed with my results but i still rocked it! But OMG the second third and fourth day hair...u couldn't tell me nothing lol once the curls dropped some i had the stretch i was looking for....I def understand where youre coming from as a fellow 4c
I'm asian with type 1 hair. I'm just here for the humor and the African accent. I LOVE it.
I do love this style. Very cute and I did the EXACT same thing. It took me almost a year to realize tha my hair is different from the natural vlooger I was watching/fixated on at the time.

Super Cute! I loved your results!!
Wow. your hair looks just like mine. Gorgeous😍

😁😁😁
I have exactly the same hair texture and type . Thank God I found you. Love your videos
shoooo..... that was gorge! great look.
lmao, "I look like somebody's little sister." you're too funny
Was that Chizi Duru?
Mine comes out just like yours did. I've learned to look forward to second day hair, that's when I get the most volume and stretch. I only get three days of wearing my hair out before I have to re-twist. And, my hair doesn't like to be fluffed or separated so I have to make smaller sections if I want definition and wear the twisted bantu knots for at least a whole day to make sure it sets correctly.

I loved your hair!
I actually think you look beautiful in this video!!! I love my 4C hair. It's crazy in the sense that you just neva know whats it's gonna do or not do next.
your hair is beautiful
I've learned to love my thin 99% shrinkage natural hair because others envy it even if you want it thicker. lol she is the bidness.
my bantu knot outs come out like this and I always thought it was because I was doing it wrong. I'm glad you uploaded this video! #4cstruggles
omg but once you fluffed it was so freaking cute ! 😍
Girl i like it and i'm 4c ima try it!
that 4c hair can be difficult to work with but with more tlc and hard work... 4c hair can be beautiful...
Girl I love ur videos!!!
I strongly feel you, I've been there! lol the life of a 4c chic, ahhh the joys lol on another note I love your hair
i liked the results! i like tightly coiled styles anyway that's just me. nice!
This was really inspiring :)
I tend to do the same but now after watching this video, I look at my hair in a different light so thank you so much for that
Np love :)
Yes. I loved your results.
you beautiful with any kind of hair girl!
The exact same thing happened to me!! AND my hair came out exactly the same as yours lol! I like it :)
advent.
_ureswithbea.
GIRL! Story of my life. I fail my bantu knots HAHA
Grandma Fu!😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
great definition tho. how did you sleep on this?
not to put too much product on my 4c hair it hates it! love your videos!!
It looks good to me!
+NappyFu Girl your results were great! It looks really cute. I think this style complements your face as well. Can we say... #froenvy lol😍😀 love your channel. Thanks for helping me learn how to make this 4c do what it do. 😊
not knowing what to put on my hair when it broke off! do I need protein or moisture? my strands were both long and Short. when I added moisture still broke off, do I added protein oil and it still broke off while I comb it. I grateful for your channel! my hair if much better
I always say in regards to our 4C hair, that what we perceive as a FAILURE, can/will be seen as a SUCCESS by someone else!
New Subbie! You are hilarious lol I have a question though, how do you alter a shampoo to help moisturize to our best benefit? It was from that 4 tips your regimen isn't working video.
One lesson I've learned- keep my hair stretched through the winter or I'll be sorry.
Yassssss, you can say that again. I have to keep my 4c hair STRETCHED!..
Yes lord i keep mine stretched year round
Omg yesssssss
Gorgeous
That was a cute curly fro
Gurl! What you talking about!? if I had that result it was good hair day for me!!!!!!!
If I wanna see some length of my hair I stretch my hair in big plaits for a couple days then do something like Bantu knots.
Lmfao. whenever I use just a curling cream my hair comes out bad, but when I apply a mixture of shea butter and coconut oil it comes out pretty good. I learnt that the hard way
I wish I could share my Bantu knot result with you. looked just like yours.
a comb can go swiftly through my hair. no tugging needed. if i take car of it.
How do you get the bantu knot to stay in place? I can't get mines to stay in place.
I love it you look good.
your results was beautiful to me at least... 😊
I kept my hair in braid extensions during the first part of my natural journey because my hair did not look as I expected it too. I regret not enjoying that initial phase.
me too 😣
I flat ironed my hair thinking my hair was going to be fine and I got a little heat damage in the back and I thought it was from not having the right heat protector.

Butters are better for 4c hair than oils because 4c hair gets sooooo dry
Jolie Wesley Ooh! Thanks for sharing that! Good tip!! I appreciate that, b/c I am still trying to get my 4C hair MOIST ALL day!!!
I learned to not put heat in my hair. Natural hair hates heat!
I thought it was pretty personally...... You did good doll
Was it Whitney aka Naptural85 or Taren916? Cause that's where Naptural85 got it from. There's so many people who does that style I'm pretty sure it's not one of them 😂.
And it wasn't bad Nappyfu. I liked it alot as it got older like you said 😊❤
Oooh you said you forgot who you got it from ok. I'm watching it twice and I heard you say it this time.
I've learned that I CANNOT style my hair on wet hair/put styling product on Wet hair and expect it to be something other than dry and tangled. Just barely damp is best. Smh.
Chillllllllle.....at least your ends didn't come out frizzy like mine always do. And I could bathe my ends in oil and they still frizz up. I'm still figuring out how to make my twist outs and knot outs look presentable.
Chizi Duru might have been the RUclips natural hair channel you watched.
I like it
I liked the results as well but I have the same problem when it comes to bantu knots. I come out looking like little orphan Annie. lol
It looked so nice to me lol
there are so many 4C typa hair . everyone is saying 4C but my hair is soooo hard and i just strugggle... helpppppp
The #1 mistake I've made as a natural is not sticking with what works with me. The ONLY conditioner that works for me is pantien relaxes and natural, I have to use soap nuts to shampoo my hair and Shea butter and coconut oil to seal my moisture. When I deviate from this, all heck breaks loose
Oooh oooh ahh ahh
be-u-ti-ful :)
😂😂😂😂 I quit doing twist outs. Doesn't work for me
cute
Yeah my curls be dry as hell😂😂😂
less is more. I used to use waaayy to much of everything.
damn that shit is cute lol
Grandma Fu? 😂😂😂😂 No No you didn't look like that
I thought your hair was cute!
