I AM SO ANNOYED I forgot Soft Dramatic!!! drive.google.com/drive/folders/1-CHNHP4dcUz1EcdLx3knIBWacAqZ9haG?usp=sharing in this folder I have some great SD examples. They look best in long hair, with large round curls which are neat and glamorous ♥️ If you want to know my opinion on your body type, go to bodyandstyle.com
@@DanzaMissBanana look at Sofia Vergara,Sofia Loren and Monica Bellucci ,they are great examples of SDs and many more like Bella Hadid,Tyra Banks etc.there is a whole list on the internet
can you give examples of R hairstyles that belong to celebrities in today's world? Although Maryline is beautiful. I can't relate to a hairstyle from the 50s.
I'm a FN and I never understood why people always compliment me when I let my thick wavy hair go wild. I'm learning to embrace it! Honestly, it's easier than styling it all the time. Julia Roberts is my new hair muse!
Same, I have thick wavy hair too as a FN and get compliments when I let lt be unruly and wild and also if I do a messy bun. Honestly I'm glad I don't have to sculpt it like a classic for example because I'm kind of too lazy for that. Wild just matches. Julia Roberts is my ultimate hair muse too! Also Cindy Crawford, especially with the bigger hair in the 90s, like in the Pepsi commercial. 😅
Honestly same I’m romantic and I don’t like short hair because my hair is curly so I end up looking like a clown and when I see that us romantic can’t pull off long hair it bugs me because I’ve seen that long hair makes me look more feminine.
@@clairemondemanseau1250 I haven't quite watched the full video yet, but I think the idea is that unbroken length weighs us down, or doesn't accommodate our softer, rounder lines. I personally think long hair works for romantics, but it just has to have a bit of bounce or flow to it. Leave the long, stick straight styles to the dramatics
I think you have forgotten the soft dramatics 🥰 For the other soft dramatics: I go for diva style. My hair is wild and wants to be natural. With a bit of styling it looks better.
So upset! We have the BEST hair. Sophia Loren, rRacquet Welch...Eva Mendes.... huge voluminous fun! We can wear the most outrageous hair yet NO mention!!!
First an FOREMOST. that baby pink maxi dress you wore in your intro at 0:40 was so stunning on you. You looked so angelic/ethereal and the way it drapes on you. immaculate.
I love all of your videos, but felt a bit skipped over with this one. Maybe you can make a video like this with natural and curly or protective styles and how those play into your body type or essence? I would love to see more hair types represented ❤️
As a Flamboyant Gamine I prefer longer hair, I think the round bluntness of my face doesn't handle pixie cuts nor very short hairstyles too well. I look great in wavy hairstyles or looser curls, so movement in my hair is great as well as straighter hairstyles with slight curls at the ends. I do lean towards more bluntness in my frame (slight sharpness in the limbs) so natural styles tend to work for me.
Soft gamine here, and i completely agree. Short hair and especially pixie cuts make my jaw look even weaker than it already is, while long hair pulls attention away from jaw and "lets" eyes be the vocal point
Flamboyant gamine here too,and I prefer long wavy hair too ,with movement ,but I cut my hair to shoulder length which looks fine when free but I thing face proportions play a big part too .my middle section of my face is the longest so shorter hair brings more attention to it in my opinion.face proportions play a big part in hairstyles
@Glambunni Flamboyant gamine here, and I totally agree with you. I'm a bit tired - when it comes to haircuts for gamines - to always hear "short cuts" or "pixie cuts" as the only recommendation. I have long wavy hair, and I think it balances the proportions of my face way better than any short cut would. Penelope Cruz is a good example of what I mean: she looks stunning with long wavy hair
I was convinced essence is more important than body type when it comes to hair cut, but I guess it makes sense that body type is more important, since it defines the frame and the whole shape, and hair is a part of that.
I love my really long, thick hair as a soft Classic. I just have to make sure that it’s always very accurately blown out with soft rounded edges or neatly put into a low bun/ French wrap something like that 😊 and lots of oil in the ends for shine and softness
I am always torn in-between soft natural and dramatic classic, I'm not sure what I am, but the moment you said THE MESSY BUNS OF THE 2010S, omggg I looked so terrible in those. Now I have the Dakota Johnson haircut, wispy-longish bangs on layered long hair and I love it, I get so many compliments on it.
I’m a romantic, and I definitely look best with long hair. My hair is naturally pin straight, so there’s no way I could do a Marilyn style even if I wanted to ☺️ But we need to remember that these suggestions are all just jumping off points - I’ve had angular and blunt bobs, a Mohawk, pixies, various undercuts, etc and it was only through experimentation that I found what I like best. So don’t be afraid to try new things! ❤️
I'm a gamine in my 20's and I've been wearing a vintage-style bixie hair since I was 14! I style it in a way that it has a lot of volume like Princess Diana, and I pair it with pearl earring studs! A lot of people told me that it's my best haircut for my face and body frame and they're correct!
I'm a theatrical romantic, and I've been let my hair super long, sometimes I make some curls and waves. Now I know I've been doing right since all this time 😂 love your videos ❤
I think I’m a theatrical romantic, theatrical coming mostly from my face features. I do like longer somewhat wavy and unruly hair on me, but my signature addition is a very short blunt bang. I love it. I think it adds a much needed grunge and somewhat unexpected form to my otherwise very soft appearance. Maybe not an ideal for my lines in theory but it’s quite fun and different in my opinion.
I'm a TR but when the pandemic started I thought I was a SC , I cut my hair in a lob and didn't hate it but I definitely prefer it longer, now I know why. 💖
Very helpful, though I'd like to see more textured and ethnic examples as well as bigger bodies and faces. I think I'm a SC and wear my hair in my natural loose curls with minimal styling. I've tried many cuts I didn't like esp pixie and blunt bob. I like my hair best medium to long w lots of layers, volume, and movement yet with curls still being defined and hydrated rather than frizzy, dry, or fly away. Makes me wonder if I could actually be TR, but at 5'7" I think I'm too tall.
Possible FG here and definitely agree with the rec's for that type. Before I cut off all my hair into what's essentially a tousled pixie cut, I had thick, shoulder- to mid-back-length, wavy-curly hair. People around me liked it and complimented it, but it looked and felt like a giant blanket. Cutting it off was a life-changer, not just because it was less hot(!) but because it looked and felt more "me."
I'm a gamine (not sure yet which kind), and I always wanted to have long hair. It never really suited me, and as I cut it shorter and shorter, I am liking it way more. You got a good point. 😊
Also gamine here! I have hair past my waist (I’m 5’3), and I have no idea what I’d look like with short hair (I’ve had long hair since puberty), but if you ever want to grow out your hair, it can look really good! Waves look really nice, and if you put part of your hair in front and part behind (of you shoulders or ears) it give that asymmetrical thing people seem to love on us. Also, it works better if you hair color is significantly darker than your skin for some reason😅.
I am very interested in how you would go about styling a group of people, who have different body types. If we for example think about girlgroups like Little Mix, Spice Girls or Fifth Harmony, they often had outfits that were supposed to match or make sense together, but how can they both compliment eachother and dress for their bodytypes? If you look at touring outfits, I think that is were these particular problems would accur.
Great video!! I’d love to see a video on nail styles for the different essences. I’m a flamboyant natural and i feel the only nail style that suits me is short, natural nails with neutral colored polish or no polish.
I literally just (like literally an hour ago) finished cutting my own hair. Gave myself a mid length wolf cut with butterfly layers starting from curtain bangs. I started from having long no layers hair to my belly button. As a soft natural, my frame looks soooo good now like omg (should've done this cut ages ago). Tomorrow I'm gonna style it with rollers for an event and I'm excited to see what outfit to go with it🤗 Btw I have been binging your channel for the past 2 days (literally found out yesterday that I'm a soft natural and I think a warm autumn or spring (still unsure about that one)) so thanks for the great content!!❤️
I'm a Dramatic and long sleek hair and blunt lobs look the best on me. Now I have "Bardot bangs" but can't wait to grow it out. How many times I said "no more bangs!" and here we go again 😅
I really enjoyed your video but can you please make a video with buns, braids and updos for the body types? I am a TR but I am kind of a tomboy and open hair is not really my thing 🙈. I tried it very often, but after a few hours I always have a bun. And because I have curls, this is a decision till the next washday 🙈.
I'm a TR and long hair suits me best, straight or wavy and soft layer cut. When my hair was cut at armpit length and straight length, I look so childish and a highschooler!! Like yikes, 2 months of regret! I think if I would go for shorter hair, I would have to style it so that it would fit my essence as a romantic.
For a long time I thought I was TR, but I couldn't wrap my head around why I looked my best with layers or a wolf cut. Then it hit me, I'm a SN. Spot on! More content on Naturals please!
@@AmandaVieiraMamaesouCult I could tell I was a SN by the fact that I am muscular and broad. Wearing romantic lines makes me look like I burst out of them even though they look good on me. If your head is small compared to the size of your shoulders and hips chances are you are a natural type. I fit my head 2 and a half times in the size of my hips (i’m not on the heavy side, it’s from my bone structure). If you look good with slightly undone hair and relaxed clothing pieces, you could very well be a natural too. One more thing, slightly oversized clothes don’t look oversized on you. Your bone structure makes it easy to wear larger sizes seamlessly.
Your videos just keep affirming my self typing as a soft natural, as all your suggested hairstyles are exactly what would look good on me! Down to the short cut looking masculine, which is why I will never do it, not that it's bad at all, just not for me! Thank you for your videos! Now to continue my style journey, and figure out my essence (which I'm having some difficulty with ;_;)
As long as your hair is smooth and rounded, you're pretty much there! If you like bangs, opt for wispy ones, because thick ones may make your face wider than it actually is. As for length, it depends on your proportions: Emilia Clarke rocks long hairstyles, Madonna (80s-90s) rocked very short curly styles. It's up to your personal preference, but if you want hair inspiration, try have a look at Kibbe-verified celebrities in their daily lives and also on the red carpet (where they most often experiment) and see what suits your fancy and overall structure.
My hair is naturally like a TR and I think I look best in that but I’ve been confused more than ever what I am. I just know I’m either some type of Romantic, a SC or a SN (except SN I don’t think I am but others thought so in my photos which isn’t the right way to type anyway)
I loved this video ❤️. You have one of my favorite RUclips channels. Could you make a video including more hair types please. I have type 4B hair so it’s more kinky curly. So it grows up in an afro rather than down.
I'm hovering between FN and SN and just recently started embracing my "wild" natural thick waves, AND I have curtain bangs! Best of both worlds I guess 😅
So as a Flamboyant Natural, I have naturally very thin, flat hair, I have always wanted some volume in my hair but it would just never work. That is too bad because I would really like to be able to have wild hair as it suits me better. I have tried every thing, every haircut, every hair hack. Here is what I have found : Long, even hair, as popular as it is, is a no-no. But mullets, as old-fashioned it is, are currently the best option for me. Pixies are ok but I have to work around to make the volume on the top apparent. Ponytails look good if I roll my hair on the top as a bonus. The key, no matter the hair length, is volume on the top.
I’m a TR so thank you, I have been growing out my hair and I just cut my hair in layers, it makes sense why I like curls/wavy more in my hair because straight looks weird haha
You have such a clear vision when it comes to kibbe types. Love your channel! Okay, I know Kibbe did away with just “natural”. I am pretty sure I’m in the Natural category. I have slightly too much curve to be FN, but not enough softness for SN…and the hair I have is naturally fine & curly(texture looks like SJP). I don’t think I could pull off the curtain bangs or softer styles for SN. Pretty sure I have some ethereal essence. What is going on? Unrelated: could you do some comparisons and differentiate some of the types (like DC vs SN)? Would be great!
I’m pretty confident that I’m a SC but this video’s making me consider TR because I do prefer my hair longer and I’ve found it needs some type of curl or wave above all else. Straight hair, despite looking neater, ruins my look and I actually look my best with slightly looser waves/curls. I can’t pull off overly tousled hair, it needs to be styled, but it doesn’t need to be stiff.
This was so helpful! Thank you so much! I’m a romantic and this was so helpful. My hair used to be down to my waist and when I look back at photos it looks like I’m being drowned in my hair. You gave me courage to cut it at the shoulders and now it looks so good!! Thank you so much!!
As an FN, I never saw this more clearly than when I did a halle berry cosplay and put her picture and mine side by side. I had a short pixie cut like hers, and while on her, the hair looked seamless, on me, it looked really intense. I actually liked the look because it made me look like a bit like an Amazon because it reallyyyyy brought out the shoulders. And definitely androgynous because my slightly wider jawline looked more prominent in that cut. But it wasn’t nearly as seamless on me as it was on her. On me it stood out as a choice and a bit of a costume. On the other hand, big wild unruly hair is 100% the most seamless on me. I love learning this stuff!
there's no soft dramatic?!!?! i find this quite difficult as my hair is very fine and absolutely pin straight. i have now discovered extensions which is actually really easy to add the volume and bit of wave to make me look more in my lines.
As a soft classic, i look best when my hair is both neat AND soft. Unfortunately i have superfine but thick hair (think - a soft halo around my face!) And am a wash, brush and go kinda girl, so no matter how neat/ classic my clothes and makeup are, my less-than-perfect hair always makes me look slightly untidy 😵 ideally, a blow-dried soft layered look is great on me but i really cannot afford to be styling my hair for 20 mins each morning! I compromise by tying it in a sleek ponytail or bun...but while it does look neat, the look is too stiff to fully flatter my soft classic features...but i take that as the lesser of 2 evils - better look slightly severe and mature than homeless 😂 (especially working in a super professional environment)
I’m pretty sure I’m a Romantic - the best description of all of my features is basically round, and my bone structure is short-limbed and hourglass-y, even though it’s hard to tell because I’m also very fat and carry my fat mostly in my belly, which tends to disrupt the hourglass and turn me into a pear, and I have to say, I think you’re right about the hair for me. I have had tight curls my whole life, and got compared to Shirley Temple almost constantly as a child, and since I’ve become an adult, the hairstyle I’ve chosen for myself is this asymmetrical semi-bob, with one side buzzed or shaved to the skin, and the rest of my hair brushed to the other side, which looks quite nice and, when I’ve let the hair grow to buzz-cut length on the short side, not really edgy at all.
@@angelaleishman1570 Unfortunately I didn't know of any that utilized Kibbe typing and the essence system but another comment mentioned there is such a black stylist by the name Frani Matthews!
I think I might be a flamboyant natural, but I have a hard time letting my hair go wild because I am a perfectionist with my hair most of the time. Also, my hair is long and is a weird in-between of wavy and straight and I never know what it's going to be like the next day. So I don't really know how to style it wildly without just looking like lumpy bedhead that's kinda straight with some weird waves scattered here and there. I do have some times where I get some really nice natural looking curls for a few hours but they often loosen a lot by the end of the day and don't look great anymore. I love it the way it looks at first though:) In short, I don't know what to do with my hair to make it look "wild" or free, but I do love experimenting with hair so I'm open to ideas! Also I'm not 100% sure I'm a flamboyant natural, so I'm a little worried there but oh well.
Yes! It kills me the way people choose a hairstyle they like ON ANOTHER MODEL, and then wonder why it looks kind of funny on them, you know, just as an individual. Something else would suit them so well, and for a reason, lol.
Great video! I'm 90% sure I'm a Soft Classic and I have fine, straight hair with a couple of cowlicks (one on each side at the front, argh!). I've always been super lazy, not very girly about doing my hair - I like to just get up and put it up (or have it short) because I really don't like my hair hanging down near my face. Please, can you offer suggestions for this predicament! Am I going to have to learn to enjoy products and heat treating my hair, playing with those flat-iron thingies like you do? (You look lovely, by the way. Is your hair naturally wavy or straight? I've only just discovered your channel so haven't checked...)
For anyone who needs to hear this. Please don't idolize anyone who has money or fame, etc. We are all human and are all different, we are not the same for a reason. You are it!! Your unique you is what matters. It really bothers me to see humans who bow to other humans like Brandon, Tramp and all the other humans that play on other humans as if they are better and that their opinions matter.
Not disagreeing here but I have naturally curly hair I wear long to keep it under control. None of these types really accommodate that except flamboyant natural and that’s not me.
Hello all! If any of you are Romantics/ Theatrical Romantics and don’t want to have the Marilyn Monroe hairstyle, I’d suggest that you look at Elizabeth Taylor’s hairstyles. She’s an identified Romantic and throughout her life, she experimented with different hairstyles, hair colors and cuts. I hope that my suggestion helps. Xo.
I’d love to have enough hair to do most of these haircuts. Especially as a Natural. Any suggestions if you have fine straight hair? I can’t do wild, I really don’t want to do all the processes needed to attain that either, costly & damaging.
This is interesting and I’m so grateful for your content. I have been trying to find someone talking about style and hair and how they’re linked. And it’s very informative. I just had a question. I hope i don’t sound silly. But what if your body is one type but your facial features and structures are a different type? Since embracing my natural curls I’m finding that not all clothes look good on me. (I have to keep it more “natural” but I enjoy dressing up. But when I had a sharp Bob I could get away with more. Argh, I’m so confused! Help lol but Thankyou for these videos!!!
Hi! I am getting a haircut next week and I am so stumped on this. I am a Soft Classic (by Kibbe's standards) with mostly ingenue and ethereal essence. I know you're supposed to have moderate length hair that is more set (not messy) and my hair is pin straight. Is there a hairstyle that speaks to classic/ethereal that isn't mermaid long waves? Maybe a straight style? Wispy?? I feel like the feathery wispy of the ethereal essence will clash with the set/neat look of my Classic overall vibe. How can honor the ethereal and ingenue?
What about a dramatic who can't be bothered to style my hair 😆 I had a pixie for years but I found it became less and less feminine and flattering as I got older, now I have longish wavy almost curly hair. I do like blunt bangs like you mentioned but then when I look back at photos of myself I actually like the way I look better when my bangs are grown out a bit 😅 this stuff is confusing it's hard to tell what type I am!! Maybe I'm not a dramatic at all
I AM SO ANNOYED I forgot Soft Dramatic!!! drive.google.com/drive/folders/1-CHNHP4dcUz1EcdLx3knIBWacAqZ9haG?usp=sharing in this folder I have some great SD examples. They look best in long hair, with large round curls which are neat and glamorous ♥️

Tomorrow I'm gonna style it with rollers for an event and I'm excited to see what outfit to go with it🤗 Btw I have been binging your channel for the past 2 days (literally found out yesterday that I'm a soft natural and I think a warm autumn or spring (still unsure about that one)) so thanks for the great content!!❤️
I'm a Dramatic and long sleek hair and blunt lobs look the best on me. Now I have "Bardot bangs" but can't wait to grow it out. How many times I said "no more bangs!" and here we go again 😅
goodness the way you explain it is so detailed but concise at the same time. /pos
😯
I really enjoyed your video but can you please make a video with buns, braids and updos for the body types? I am a TR but I am kind of a tomboy and open hair is not really my thing 🙈. I tried it very often, but after a few hours I always have a bun. And because I have curls, this is a decision till the next washday 🙈.
So apparently I’m a soft natural and I prefer shorter cuts exactly how you have pointed it out - to look a bit edgy / masculine. Yay!
I'm a TR and long hair suits me best, straight or wavy and soft layer cut. When my hair was cut at armpit length and straight length, I look so childish and a highschooler!! Like yikes, 2 months of regret! I think if I would go for shorter hair, I would have to style it so that it would fit my essence as a romantic.
For a long time I thought I was TR, but I couldn't wrap my head around why I looked my best with layers or a wolf cut. Then it hit me, I'm a SN. Spot on!
More content on Naturals please!
I feel like half the women take the test get TR first and then move on to SN. I'm an SN too and I hope it's not another mistyping phase.
@@AmandaVieiraMamaesouCult I could tell I was a SN by the fact that I am muscular and broad. Wearing romantic lines makes me look like I burst out of them even though they look good on me.
If your head is small compared to the size of your shoulders and hips chances are you are a natural type. I fit my head 2 and a half times in the size of my hips (i’m not on the heavy side, it’s from my bone structure).
If you look good with slightly undone hair and relaxed clothing pieces, you could very well be a natural too.
One more thing, slightly oversized clothes don’t look oversized on you. Your bone structure makes it easy to wear larger sizes seamlessly.
OMG YOU CAN PULL OF THE WOLF CUT ? IM IN LOVE WITH THIS HAIRCUT AND VIBE BUT I HAVE SUUUPER WISPY FINE HAIR 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
GIRL GO FOR IT
@@somebody-br2hm I too have fine hair and the volume helps 👍🏻
@@sup.2318 where are you getting the volume from?
Your channel is a blessing!
Your videos just keep affirming my self typing as a soft natural, as all your suggested hairstyles are exactly what would look good on me! Down to the short cut looking masculine, which is why I will never do it, not that it's bad at all, just not for me! Thank you for your videos! Now to continue my style journey, and figure out my essence (which I'm having some difficulty with ;_;)
Romantic hair got 5 seconds😩😓 ok I don’t like Marilyns hair style on me, any other suggestion for romantics….? Can’t curl my hair every day😳
As long as your hair is smooth and rounded, you're pretty much there! If you like bangs, opt for wispy ones, because thick ones may make your face wider than it actually is. As for length, it depends on your proportions: Emilia Clarke rocks long hairstyles, Madonna (80s-90s) rocked very short curly styles. It's up to your personal preference, but if you want hair inspiration, try have a look at Kibbe-verified celebrities in their daily lives and also on the red carpet (where they most often experiment) and see what suits your fancy and overall structure.
@@purrgundy thank you very much🥰🥰🥰🥰
soft gamine - layered bob and curls
I wish you could talk about which hair colour,according to each season, would look the best !
My hair is naturally like a TR and I think I look best in that but I’ve been confused more than ever what I am. I just know I’m either some type of Romantic, a SC or a SN (except SN I don’t think I am but others thought so in my photos which isn’t the right way to type anyway)
I loved this video ❤️. You have one of my favorite RUclips channels. Could you make a video including more hair types please. I have type 4B hair so it’s more kinky curly. So it grows up in an afro rather than down.
Perfect timing
Agree! 🥲
i'm a soft natural, and yes, i have curtain bangs and layered hair and i love it
I'm hovering between FN and SN and just recently started embracing my "wild" natural thick waves, AND I have curtain bangs! Best of both worlds I guess 😅
More natrual hair ideas will probably be helpfull to a lot of people:) loved the video though!
So as a Flamboyant Natural, I have naturally very thin, flat hair, I have always wanted some volume in my hair but it would just never work. That is too bad because I would really like to be able to have wild hair as it suits me better. I have tried every thing, every haircut, every hair hack.
Here is what I have found : Long, even hair, as popular as it is, is a no-no. But mullets, as old-fashioned it is, are currently the best option for me. Pixies are ok but I have to work around to make the volume on the top apparent. Ponytails look good if I roll my hair on the top as a bonus. The key, no matter the hair length, is volume on the top.
I’m a TR so thank you, I have been growing out my hair and I just cut my hair in layers, it makes sense why I like curls/wavy more in my hair because straight looks weird haha
You have such a clear vision when it comes to kibbe types. Love your channel!
Okay, I know Kibbe did away with just “natural”. I am pretty sure I’m in the Natural category. I have slightly too much curve to be FN, but not enough softness for SN…and the hair I have is naturally fine & curly(texture looks like SJP). I don’t think I could pull off the curtain bangs or softer styles for SN. Pretty sure I have some ethereal essence. What is going on?
Unrelated: could you do some comparisons and differentiate some of the types (like DC vs SN)? Would be great!
I’m pretty confident that I’m a SC but this video’s making me consider TR because I do prefer my hair longer and I’ve found it needs some type of curl or wave above all else. Straight hair, despite looking neater, ruins my look and I actually look my best with slightly looser waves/curls. I can’t pull off overly tousled hair, it needs to be styled, but it doesn’t need to be stiff.
As a SN I get complemented most when my hair is messy. Your right though, Curran bangs look great, but even better if its tousled or wayvy
This was so helpful! Thank you so much! I’m a romantic and this was so helpful. My hair used to be down to my waist and when I look back at photos it looks like I’m being drowned in my hair. You gave me courage to cut it at the shoulders and now it looks so good!! Thank you so much!!
right after i shaved my sides :’) nice
I would be really interested to see certain necklines. Also, swimsuit styles?
Thank you for shedding so much light on this
I am a soft dramatic with coarse hair (medium density) and it’s wavy (2B-2C)
So what should I do when I have naturally wavy/curly hair and be a dramatic?😅 Can you recommend hairstyles for curly hair?
As an FN, I never saw this more clearly than when I did a halle berry cosplay and put her picture and mine side by side. I had a short pixie cut like hers, and while on her, the hair looked seamless, on me, it looked really intense. I actually liked the look because it made me look like a bit like an Amazon because it reallyyyyy brought out the shoulders. And definitely androgynous because my slightly wider jawline looked more prominent in that cut. But it wasn’t nearly as seamless on me as it was on her. On me it stood out as a choice and a bit of a costume. On the other hand, big wild unruly hair is 100% the most seamless on me. I love learning this stuff!
you look adorable here, the best I’ve seen from your vids. 💗✨
What about Soft Dramatic? 🥺
thankyou😭😭
Pinned comment
there's no soft dramatic?!!?! i find this quite difficult as my hair is very fine and absolutely pin straight. i have now discovered extensions which is actually really easy to add the volume and bit of wave to make me look more in my lines.
I do wish you can give more examples of POC
As a soft classic, i look best when my hair is both neat AND soft. Unfortunately i have superfine but thick hair (think - a soft halo around my face!) And am a wash, brush and go kinda girl, so no matter how neat/ classic my clothes and makeup are, my less-than-perfect hair always makes me look slightly untidy 😵 ideally, a blow-dried soft layered look is great on me but i really cannot afford to be styling my hair for 20 mins each morning! I compromise by tying it in a sleek ponytail or bun...but while it does look neat, the look is too stiff to fully flatter my soft classic features...but i take that as the lesser of 2 evils - better look slightly severe and mature than homeless 😂 (especially working in a super professional environment)
I’m pretty sure I’m a Romantic - the best description of all of my features is basically round, and my bone structure is short-limbed and hourglass-y, even though it’s hard to tell because I’m also very fat and carry my fat mostly in my belly, which tends to disrupt the hourglass and turn me into a pear, and I have to say, I think you’re right about the hair for me. I have had tight curls my whole life, and got compared to Shirley Temple almost constantly as a child, and since I’ve become an adult, the hairstyle I’ve chosen for myself is this asymmetrical semi-bob, with one side buzzed or shaved to the skin, and the rest of my hair brushed to the other side, which looks quite nice and, when I’ve let the hair grow to buzz-cut length on the short side, not really edgy at all.
It would have been nice if some natural hairstyles for black women were included in this :/
Frani Matthews, who is Black, has a whole video on natural hair for each type! it’s really great!!!
Agreed
There must be some black personal stylists who would concentrate on black women's hair surely?
@@trinity9980 I had never heard of her, thank you! going to check out the vid you mentioned rn :)
@@angelaleishman1570 Unfortunately I didn't know of any that utilized Kibbe typing and the essence system but another comment mentioned there is such a black stylist by the name Frani Matthews!
I think I might be a flamboyant natural, but I have a hard time letting my hair go wild because I am a perfectionist with my hair most of the time. Also, my hair is long and is a weird in-between of wavy and straight and I never know what it's going to be like the next day. So I don't really know how to style it wildly without just looking like lumpy bedhead that's kinda straight with some weird waves scattered here and there.
I do have some times where I get some really nice natural looking curls for a few hours but they often loosen a lot by the end of the day and don't look great anymore. I love it the way it looks at first though:)
In short, I don't know what to do with my hair to make it look "wild" or free, but I do love experimenting with hair so I'm open to ideas! Also I'm not 100% sure I'm a flamboyant natural, so I'm a little worried there but oh well.
Please, don't exclude pure Naturals... I'm this body type and NOTHING recomended for FN or SN suits me. I love your content!
Yes! It kills me the way people choose a hairstyle they like ON ANOTHER MODEL, and then wonder why it looks kind of funny on them, you know, just as an individual. Something else would suit them so well, and for a reason, lol.
Great video! I'm 90% sure I'm a Soft Classic and I have fine, straight hair with a couple of cowlicks (one on each side at the front, argh!). I've always been super lazy, not very girly about doing my hair - I like to just get up and put it up (or have it short) because I really don't like my hair hanging down near my face. Please, can you offer suggestions for this predicament! Am I going to have to learn to enjoy products and heat treating my hair, playing with those flat-iron thingies like you do? (You look lovely, by the way. Is your hair naturally wavy or straight? I've only just discovered your channel so haven't checked...)
For anyone who needs to hear this. Please don't idolize anyone who has money or fame, etc. We are all human and are all different, we are not the same for a reason. You are it!! Your unique you is what matters. It really bothers me to see humans who bow to other humans like Brandon, Tramp and all the other humans that play on other humans as if they are better and that their opinions matter.
I am a Dramatic with a buzz cut. 🙂
Thank you and great concept, however I don't know which one I am. The descriptions seem vague to me.
I wish you would speak about naturals. ("pure" ones)
Not disagreeing here but I have naturally curly hair I wear long to keep it under control. None of these types really accommodate that except flamboyant natural and that’s not me.
I have actually felt that way
Could you please do a video of body type but for men? Thanks!!
I have dramatic body type and curly hair. What should I do? I don’t have naturally straight hair.
I love 💕 watching this video it makes me feel better ❤️❤️💕❤️❤️
you should include one POC wth each example you give
Is there one for soft dramatic please?
Hello all! If any of you are Romantics/ Theatrical Romantics and don’t want to have the Marilyn Monroe hairstyle, I’d suggest that you look at Elizabeth Taylor’s hairstyles. She’s an identified Romantic and throughout her life, she experimented with different hairstyles, hair colors and cuts. I hope that my suggestion helps. Xo.
I really enjoyed this, and just generally love your channel! Xx
This hair are really cool
This is exactly what I always ask and the hair stylist never know what I’m asking.
But what if that's not possible for my hair type? I'm FN, but my hair is pin straight and super thin.
do you think you could do a video on hairstyles for men? kinda like the one you did with women :)
This helps a lot
Can you do a video on theatrical romantics?
I’d love to have enough hair to do most of these haircuts. Especially as a Natural. Any suggestions if you have fine straight hair? I can’t do wild, I really don’t want to do all the processes needed to attain that either, costly & damaging.
This is interesting and I’m so grateful for your content. I have been trying to find someone talking about style and hair and how they’re linked. And it’s very informative.
I just had a question. I hope i don’t sound silly. But what if your body is one type but your facial features and structures are a different type?
Since embracing my natural curls I’m finding that not all clothes look good on me. (I have to keep it more “natural” but I enjoy dressing up. But when I had a sharp Bob I could get away with more.
Argh, I’m so confused! Help lol but Thankyou for these videos!!!
Hi! I am getting a haircut next week and I am so stumped on this. I am a Soft Classic (by Kibbe's standards) with mostly ingenue and ethereal essence. I know you're supposed to have moderate length hair that is more set (not messy) and my hair is pin straight. Is there a hairstyle that speaks to classic/ethereal that isn't mermaid long waves? Maybe a straight style? Wispy?? I feel like the feathery wispy of the ethereal essence will clash with the set/neat look of my Classic overall vibe. How can honor the ethereal and ingenue?
Thanks for the explanation
What about a dramatic who can't be bothered to style my hair 😆 I had a pixie for years but I found it became less and less feminine and flattering as I got older, now I have longish wavy almost curly hair. I do like blunt bangs like you mentioned but then when I look back at photos of myself I actually like the way I look better when my bangs are grown out a bit 😅 this stuff is confusing it's hard to tell what type I am!! Maybe I'm not a dramatic at all
Ohh my God hairstylist and Taylors can make you cry big time
Always interesting. Thank you
This is very helpful
DC here. Very sat hair isn’t really an option when you’ve got curls.
Soft Dramatic? 🤷♀️♥️
I would have loved a bit more options or explanation for romantics...
I love your videos ❤️
I'm a dramatic, now I know why I am so attached to my blunt bangs lol.
