      Hey thanks for this video I understand now. My hair is all over the place the top of my hair since it’s more natural it’s like a 3 but it gets really dry and frizzy middle of my hair is a 2b/c dry and frizzy and the bottom is like 1/2a because I bleached it many times. I wish my hair was more curly and not be all over the place lol.

    • @user-xm2nb7qj1t
      @user-xm2nb7qj1t 3 года назад +423

      That's how everybody's hair is unless it's straight. Curls get weighed down when your hair is longer, thicker, has a lot of product in it, etc. So you might have 3a textured hair when it's very short, but then it becomes 2b when your hair is really long.
      Since your ends aren't weighed down nearly as much as the rest of your hair, you will likely have more texture on the bottom than on the top.
      There are ways to sort of fix this, but the looser the texture the harder it is to avoid.
      It can look nice though, so you may not even want to change it if in you think it is.
      You can make your hair's texture fully come out by getting specific haircuts. You could even get a haircut made specifically for your hair type, but only if you wear it natural all the time, because it won't look good with straightened hair.
      Sorry for the long comment!

      보석Nat This is the most relatable comment ever lol. To help you figure out your curl type, you can see how much it shrinks from when you pull on the curl, to when it’s in a normal resting state. I have type 3c hair. When it’s wet, it’s obviously weighed down, so it looks like type 2 hair, but you can still tell that I have curls. If it were to look straight while wet, then it would probably be more like type 2 - 3a hair. I hope this helped and also, best of luck with figuring out your sexuality. I have the same struggle all of the time.

Seeing photo examples of each type was extremely helpful. I knew that my hair was *somewhere* between 2b and 3b. Now I know that it is 2c at the top and 3a at the bottom. I was only able to narrow it down after seeing the explicit examples in this video!

    My hair is mainly 3A with 2C and 3C on the wrong places (crown and nape, respectively). So most people think my hair is either wavier or curlier than it actually is (depending on my patience on the day for styling it).

    OMG! Thank you for this explanation! I have seen, heard, and read people talking about curl types, but I had no idea what that was. Curl types weren't really a thing when I was growing up in the 60s and 70s. Either your hair was straight or curly. That was how hair was defined back then. LOL! I'm new to curly hair. After losing over 3/4 of my thick hair to illness, all the hair that grew back, grew back very thick, very wavy and curly. Now, I know my new hair type is between 2C and 3A. The problem with styling my hair, though, is that the old hair that didn't fall out is now thin and is 2A. Because this hair is intermingled with my wavy/curly hair, it makes it challenging for me to style, especially since I'm so new to this curly hair and trying to style it. Your tutorial/explanation was the best I've seen! Thank you!!

It loves protein and hates too much moisture. I use the new Pantene curl and volume lines, including their curl cream, which I use as a leave in, along with Cake mousse and Herbal Essences gel.

    Babe, first of all you are GORGEOUS! But thank you so much for this! I was actually seeking videos to take care of my daughter’s hair properly and learn new styles . Realized I had no idea what hair type she has. I learned a ton and you helped tremendously with pictures as reference! I was so confused reading online. So now I know her hair is mostly 3b with a little 3c. And I’m 2b2c. Had no clue. thank you! ❤

      There was something in the water where I used to live that was killing my hair. Losing large clumps in the shower and it wasn't really growing either. For a few years I cut my hair really short ( almost shaved) and concentrated on restoring the roots. My sister found a cleansing conditioner by Ren Pure Solutions that I use 6 days a week on my hair and once a week I use a shampoo called Generic Tea Tree oil shampoo. It's made for getting impurities out of the scalp. Once I towel dry my hair, I use a few drops of OGX coconut miracle oil and work it through my hair.
      It's taken a few years, but my hair is almost completely restored to what it should be.Btw my hair is 2c/3a. I hope this will help. 🤗

I always thought, based on the curl charts, that my hair was a mix of type 2s and type 3s.. but after watching your video my hair makes total sense! It’s a type 2 mix!! I am so excited to finally be able to move forward with this method now that I understand my hair a little better. I am definitely going to look into density and porosity, too, because I might be mistaken about my hair in those categories, too!!!
    I love all curly hair types. I find so much beauty in ALL hair types, even straight hair. I love to look at the uniqueness of each hair type and I love seeing the different ways that people style their curls. I am not sure exactly what I love about my hair type specifically, but I think I’ll say that I am loving learning about it. I am hoping to actually be able to love my own hair once I figure out how to live with it!!!

    I had ringlets as a child, like Shirley temple all over, and then my hair grew and the weight pulled the curls out to waves. I have really thick hair, 3.5 inches in diameter thick when in a ponytail, and it would tangle easily, so my mother and grandmothers solution , neither of them having my hair type, would be to rip through my hair to get all the knots out. My hair went frizzy and pouffy after that, and stayed that way until I was 17, when I cut my hair to a pixie, and then it grew back wavy, 2b, and I learned about curly and wavy hair styling and it got curlier and curlier until now, 2b-3a hair, it’s still changing and adapting so who knows, I may get back to that Shirley temple ringlet
