    In this #shorts video, I am discussing hair typing in a simplified manner, with photos as visual examples of each type. This is a representation of curl types, but not of whether or not the hair is fine or coarse, low, medium, or high porosity, or protein/moisture balanced. Hair typing helps you to more easily understand the styling capabilities of certain curl/coil patterns, NOT whether or not a product will work well on your hair. Porosity is a much larger indicator of the products that will work on your hair, as it impacts product absorption into the strands.
    If you should have additional questions, please check out my full length video, and then let me know if you have any other follow up questions! Have a great day, You know I love you boo!

      Hi Linwood. I recently found your shorts and I very much trust all of the advice you have given. This video of a natural sister getting dragged an IG page with a large following BROKE MY HEART. She literally had me in tears recounting the events.
      Can you please make a response or reaction video? I believe her name is Myoma or something similar if you don’t trust the link below.

    I'm Asian (southeast asian) and I was born with Type 1 hair, until I reached puberty. Then, my hair started to expand(?). It got super frizzy. Doesn't matter how much conditioner or oil I used or how much I brush, it still frizzes. Until I saw a YT vid that suggests I might have wavy/curly hair. Had to learn about the types of hair and go through an awkward hair rehabilitation phase. Now, I have healthy hair that's 2c (depends on how well I take care of it). Why my hair went crazy after puberty? Beats me but it can happen 😐

    • @GetGlamFam
      @GetGlamFam  3 года назад +283

      At puberty your hormones changed, and hair is always affected by hormonal changes. Hair often changes after babies are born, during menopause, and also if there are any hormonal disorders in the body.

      My mum has poker straight hair, it holds nothing, curl it and they drop out so quick. I'm between 1 and 2 but my daughters 3a is really difficult to deal with. If I brush it the curls lose definition and it goes frizzy, dont brush it and it matts and tangles sooo quick. Lately I've been only brushing it when it's full of conditioner. I put it on for 10 minutes then brush it through and rinse. I can get 2 days without having to brush it like that. Just a little finger detangle. I saw that on some video and it's working good so far. I love her hair and I just want to keep it looking good but boy, is curly hard work!

      @@SrirachaSandvvitch just seen your reply. For me, I personally like the sisterlocks. Although the process of installing them is very arduous; I love the freedom they afford me. The frizz is more controlled and I can go longer than 4 weeks to redo them. After 2 weeks of palm rolling my hair would frizz up. I couldn't stand it.
      Now I have sisterlocks, I do not worry about frizz and my hair looks neater for longer. The only downside is the retightening takes longer, but I'm ok with that. It just depends on what you'll be able to deal with long term. Mine was less frizz, neater locs and a longer break between retightenings.
      Good luck on your loc journey. I hope you love it. I do❤. I have no desire to go back to loose natural hair💃🏾❤

    @GlamFam Hair & Beauty Thank you...!!! People always think that Asians always have sleek straight hair.. now I'm Japanese but even so it's common for Asians to have wavy and 4B type hair. We just straighten and use sleek and straighten products often.. but the Asians commonly have straight hair is a part of the asian beaty standard that's always perpetuated (a stereotype) just like Asians are commonly white skin and that all brown east Asians are blasian or middle easten (It just isn't true).

    Nicely done, and in under a minute!!
    I read something about the hair typing system today, namely, that Andre Walker (I may be getting that name wrong), its creator, came out and said that 4c hair was the type that he thought was most limited from a styling standpoint and that it should be processed. I'm paraphrasing, but in view of such sentiments from the system's ultimate authority in a sense, I can understand the ill will towards it from many with textured hair. Honestly, like any tool or classification system, it can be helpful when used by people like you who lack the obvious bias of its creator and who honor and celebrate the diversity of hair types given us by THE Creator. Besides, given the mainstream society's prevalent inclination towards lighter skin and looser curls, I believe that the kinky end of the spectrum would have drawn the existing stigma in ANY curl/coil classification system.

    • @GetGlamFam
      @GetGlamFam  3 года назад +1

      You are completely correct there! Andre initially said that it needed to be relaxed. That was his ignorance speaking. The method I speak of in this video is modified from his method, as this doesn’t deal with texture, only with curl pattern. His dealt with both, and 4b and 4c were added as an after thought.

The owner of the IG page posted her selfie, which she herself had captioned "THIS is 4c hair", and captioned that post, simply and disdainfully "Respectfully....thoughts". What followed was a barrage of vicious, nasty, clearly racist comments ranging from "you need to get a weave" to God knows what else. The owner eventually responded with a "I didn't mean any harm" sort of non-apology, AFTER she pinned the original post with her shady added caption. I'll share the link if you like.
