Your hair is “TYPE BEAUTIFUL” it doesn’t really matter the hair type 🤷🏽♀️ as long as we all love our natural hair we don’t need to worry about anything else ❤️❤️❤️ Our natural hair is TYPE BEAUTIFUL 💛🌻
This is exactly why I DO NOT hair type. My hair isn’t algebra. Hair should just be cared for and maintained, not “typed”. We should just appreciate our uniqueness and keep it moving.
We have white skin, light skin, tan skin, brown skin, and dark skin. So why can't we have straight hair, wavy hair, curly hair, and tight curly hair ?? It's all beautiful, yes, but there's still a visual difference......and that's all that's being said.
Her hair type looks 3c-4a her hair texture looks medium. You guys confuse hair type with hair texture. Me and my mom both have type 3c curls but my texture is medium and my moms texture is fine
Here's my take: A pure type 3 will have to scrunch and diffuse. A pure type 4 will have to stretch hair. A 3c-4a will use the dryer/try to keep their hair exactly the way it is.
You know your hair better than anybody...🙄🙄, the internet trolls have too much time on they hands. Also, your hair is 🔥, doesn’t have to be 3c to be that.
Xariah Ashantae Curl type (3C/4A) is different from texture. Some 3C/4As have a fine silky texture and some have kinky strands or a mix. Curl type is about the size and look of the curls while texture is about the feel.
Exactly me and my mother have the same curl pattern but my hair is much thicker than hers and her hair is more fine . It doesn’t matter do what works for you🤷🏽♀️
Hair typing isn't even that important unless someone is first starting out as a natural. People get so butthurt over it and it's not even that serious to me.
FYI: you can have “multiple porosities” throughout your hair along with “multiple hair textures” in areas of your hair.. Just do what works for “YOUR” hair.. And of course that varies from person to person.. Each of us have different heads of hair..💁🏽
People get hair texture and hair curls confused. I feel like people see your hair and see the texture and automatically put you in a box. People can have more than just one hair type. I myself am a mixture of 4a/3c. You’re definitely a type 4. If we are speaking of curl patterns your curls are coils. But honestly, you can have more than one curl pattern, and only you have the ability to say what that is. You spend the most time with it. You see up close and personal. Hair porosity is WAY more valuable and important when dealing with your hair. Hair typing is pointless when caring for your hair. Knowing your hair porosity is key because it means you know what your hair needs and lacks to get it to where it needs to be. Black hair is so beautiful, we are a combination of everything just like our hair. Regardless, your hair is BEAUTIFUL and it’s making people go crazy out here.
And those hair typing charts are always incorrect because they’ll pull out a picture of hair in so many different states, defined, undefined, straightened and still try to compare them
You are totally right. It really is not a big deal what type of hair you have. That is one of the biggest problems in the natural hair community and it tends to take away how beautiful each hair type is. Once you are taking proper care of your hair that is all that matters.
I have the EXACT same thing. I can't tell if Im 3c or 4a. It varies based on different scales. I know Im definitely high porosity. We need a category between 3c and 4a lol. Im kinda leaning towards you being 3c even though your hair doesn't coil in a circle. lol
Mia Nicole New subbie here! Many of us have a combination of curl types, textures, and porosities throughout our head. Your hair looks a lot like mine, a mix of 3C and 4A (kinky curly). I also have some 3B in one area. Also texture and curl type isn't the same. I'm 3C/4A with fine, silky hair strands (that's the texture) but some 3C/4As have kinky feeling strands. You can have a mix of porosities too so depending on the hair that you tested with....you get what I mean. At the end of the day, people of African descent have lots of different curl types and textures that can't even be determined by the hair typing system. It was created by Oprah's long time celebrity hair stylist (can't think of his name right now); it is just a guide not the end all be all. Your hair is beautiful. Just keep it healthy.
Type Multi-texture Hair to me 4a/3c when hydrated💦 type 3 can also come in Zigzag and Curls 〰️➰➿ . Some of my curls are the width of a Sharpie marker (type3 curl size) and some of my curls/zigzag are the size of a pencil and pen spring (type 4 hair) I consider my hair multi textured or 4a/3c with marker/pencil/pen spring size curl and Zzzz 🙋🏾♀️🙋🏾♀️🙋🏾♀️
I don’t like hair typing because everyone’s hair looks different. My natural hair is in the type 4 range too, but everyone tells me something else. So when ppl ask me, I say my hair is CURLY and THICKK(with 2 k’s)😂
Your hair look like type 4a. But remember you can have a combo of types hair on your head. Like the back of my hair has tighter curls than the front. So I have a mix of type 4a and b according to my stylist. I personally use product according to the Porosity it’s much easier.
Those hair charts are most definitely confusing, from what I seen I think my hair is both type 3 and 4. But I agree it’s not that big of a deal everyone’s hair is beautiful.
Emily Ariana I agree with you its not a big deal but in terms of hair products and techniques some things work better on certain hair textured than others example shea butter is great for my 4b/4c hair but too heavy for 3b/3a or type 2 or 3 hair but most of us have a mixture of textures ..also knowing your porosity is important because again certain products n or techniques works better or different for high, low and medium porosity hair ..this is why natural hair is call a hair journey cause what may work for one isnt going to work for another person
My hair looks exactly like yours except it’s shorter at the moment (big chopped for the second time) & consider it to be 4a. When my hair was longer, the curls became more weighted down & it does manipulate how the curl looks slightly, but it’s still 4a. 3b/3c is a much looser curl. People think because you have definition means you can’t be a type 4! I was seeing people say “Oh if you don’t have an Afro you are not type 4.” HUH? Lol, that’s not how it works. 😂
Could you possibly do a video sharing how you "trained" your hair from what it looked like before to now? My hair is similar to how you described yours when you first went natural and it does not want to work with me, it's so frizzy!! By the way, your hair is beautiful!!
I thought I had 3c hair but looking at charts now i’m thinking it is 4a now. and yes based on the chart and pics you have 4a hair. either way your hair is beautiful that hair type stuff is too confusing lol
I looked at your hair videos and you both have totally different hair types/textures. I thinks she has a beautiful combination of 4a/3c and I think you appear to have a beautiful combination of 3c/3b. Both heads of hair gorgeous but very different.
BTW I think your hair is beautiful no matter what type or texture it is. All hair has the potential to look jacked up if it isn't cared for properly, and also look beautiful as well.
I've been natural for 27 years and non of this mattered until recent years. It's like ppl want to feel like they have "good" hair meanwhile good hair could be 5 inches long, where 'nappy' hair could be down to the person's butt bc they know their hair. It's so divisive!! What matters is the relationship you have with your hair, meaning, how well do you listen, observe and actually KNOW your own hair. Know your hairs porosity and never waste $ on products!! treat your hair WITH LOVE! Just like skin, everyone's hair will be different and you must treat your hair like an individual. Happy hair journey, everyones hair is beautiful when you love on it!❤❤❤
you probably have a mixture of 4a and 3c. Hair typing is so hard b/c I don't feel like my hair falls into a specific category. your hair looks bomb, and your accent is cute lol! found your channel today and subscribed!!
Low porosity doesn’t stay dry. It’s just hard to get the moisture in. Once in it stays pretty moisturized. And our hair takes forever to dry. I said this on a more recent video, but it’s def 3C/4A combo. Some are 3C, some 4A and some look like a mixture. Hair is also typed when wet/damp, not dry. But in the end, as long as it’s healthy, that’s what matters most.
Yeah. Like others commented, people confuse texture and pattern. They basically see silkier hair strands and say “oh no, that can’t be a type 4 curl pattern,” when that’s very false.
Ma’am you know your hair better than anyone else. I have the same issue as you. Our hair looks alike but you have a higher density. I know depending on products, wetness, and dryness, I have three different types throughout the week. I don’t classify. It’s just curly and I use creams, gels, custards,. If I were to classify it would be 4a also.
Omg girl I get you cause I’ve always said I’ve had type 4 hair and I was proud of it and people were always like oh you have curly hair why don’t you embrace it but at the end of the day it’s just hair and it’s not that serious honestly just embrace your hair❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yea those comments in your last video were OD lmao. It also depends on if the hair you put in the cup had hair product on it cause that’ll weigh it down. You have to make sure the hair is clean before you do the porosity test. Please do a video on your hair journey with pictures if you can, I would love to see where you started and how you got to this point.
Yeah people also don't understand that type 4 hair loosens as it grows due to the weight of the curls so type 4a as it grows tends to almost mimic 3c hair the longer it grows so the two constantly get confused with one another. My hair is shoulder length and as it grows it dramaticly starts loosening and mimicking type 3 when its moisturized and hydrated simply due to the weight of the hair opening the curls.. In the end it doesnt matter because none of us have the same exact curl pattern even if it appears to be identicle hair is like finger prints its very unique to each person no matter the race of people. As black people some of us forget we are the most genetically diverse people on this planet so our hair textures are so unique to each of us individually so no curl typing chart will ever be 100% accurate its impossible so the chart is just a gauge for what ever range your hair texture falls into so it can help with styling and techniques for hair care that are good for what ever your range is.
You can tell the difference between low and high porosity basically if you was to put product on somebody that has low porosity the products going to sit on top and for somebody for high porosity the products soaks right in
Notification Squad!!!🙋🏾♀️❤ Love the Intro and Content!!💃🏾💃🏾🥰 I was the same until I went to the hair show in ATL and one of the hairstylist told me I'm 3b 3c. Just not sure of my porosity but I will do the test.
Could you please give us transitioning people some tips? Also could you give us beginners on how to get our curls popping like this? Last how did your hair look when you first started?did you transition?
The thing about the porosity test is that it’s best to get a strand from the root, and also a strand without any product after a fresh wash. Product buildup can not only weigh the strand down but also keep water from getting in, producing a false result.
Thank you! Someone told me that earlier, so I definitely will be doing it the proper way to make sure I actually am high porosity. But based off the characteristics alone I do feel like I am.
I defiantly felt this in every level 😩😩🙌🏾 frfr, me personally I think you have 4a hair. But like you said it doesn’t matter, shoot your hair still looks beautiful 😍❤️
Girl my hair is just like yours hence why I subscribed to you and I thought I was type 4. I get confused by those charts and I know porosity and density play a major part. I think I have a mix of hair types
That's true because my hair is 3c 3b 4a and it's not that hard to blend the 4a section with the rest of my curl patterns. I just give that section a little extra loving and it comes out very defined.
I hate the hair typing chart because it confuses a lot of people for some reason! I already commented on the wet look video, first regardless of the type, your hair is very pretty. Looking at it in this video I stand by what I said in the other video, you are definitely 3c embrace it, it's amazing!
I love hair and studying about black African hair, its my hobbie tbh. I think the reason why people or viewers see that you are not considered as a 4 hair type because, I believe that it is impossible to create a wet look on 4 hair that is fine or thicker, coily/kinky wet looks just doesn't work. From what I can see you have medium to high density, thick, maybe fine, you know your porosity then sis that is all that matters. I was more interested in hair textures so that I could find the right hair combs and brushes that is suitable for my kinky coily fine strands and high porosity it's a lot of work. Like some books say that black hair have different textures and is true because I have tested and hopefully one day I will put my content out there. Do you, I like your videos, your bun technique actually help me as well. Thank you, have a beautiful day ☺
Hi hello Mia Nicole👋🏾 I'm new to your channel since yesterday and I have been binge watching your hair videos. (I find it calming for some reason to watch other women of color do their hair🤷🏾♀️) anywho you have yourself a new subscriber 🥰💯💖👍🏾 anyways, I'm a mixed breed chick with legit shit different hair types/textures... seriously.....my family is from all over the Caribbean, (Aruba, Dominican Republic, St.Lucia etc etc) so my genes def got it all, my Oma (grandma in Dutch def has the hair type Americans WILL label "that good hair/Spanish girl hair" etc her mother/my great grandma, was Dominican, and her hair type was in the 2's...while her dad coming from st.lucia hmmm I can't tell cuz he had a buzz cut/army cut style so I don't know) my mom got a mixture of different hair types considering the fact my oma's ex husband was an American citizen/ African American....so she got his type 4 hair, as well as her mother's and Grandma's type 2-3's hair, and the thing about genes is that you can pick up on a relative from far back in the family tree that hasn't been seen in a while, some of my relatives are white, my mom told me one of her uncles was a man of color with sharp blue eyes and damn near straight hair. So it's not to far fetched that his genes circled back around and my mom got his hair type as well, and she has blue that circles the outer rims of her brown eyes. So over all my mother has straighter type 2 or rather 3a hair in the front and sides, and various type 3 in the middle and back. And as for me being her daughter, I have it too, straighter in the front and sides/looser curls/coils/waves or whatever...... And as for the very top/middle it's about 3b-4a. (My father's side of the family is a mixture of African American and Indian. And I can see it so hardcore in my father's mother. But when I wanted to know what tribe she wouldn't tell me and was giving me sarcasm 😂.) But everyone in my family tree uses water and gel or some form of custard/pudding and keeps it moving. 🥰😁💯 So in general I said all that to make a point of saying it IS possible for a person of color to have more than one hair type on their head😎👌🏾👍🏾, we are walking testimonies of that. As for porosity, mine and my mother's is low porosity. My hair is Fuller and thicker while my mom's is thin cuz of her Lupus.(which is known to making your hair thinner😓😫😞) the sad thing about this world is that most of our people want looser curls so bad, they still try every day so hard to get type 2-3 hair, and that's why THEY binge watch videos to see what they can do to look like the mixed breeds. Point blank period....most people haven't truly embraced their hair and get comfortable with the hair type they were born with. It's that simple. And for those who would argue with me about it saying that's not true ARE the ones who want looser curls. Why else would people be getting butt hurt over it? Why else would they be willing to argue with YOU about what hair type YOU have?! 🤷🏾♀️As if they are pushing you(and possibly others they connect with) to claim the end of the spectrum of looser curls/coils. Most women of color is still fighting so hard to fit into the beauty standards the world has set in order to fit in and be called "Beautiful" not understanding that being on the darker color spectrum of skin tone IS GORGEOUS actually, and having full thick crown of tight curls is STILL JUST AS SWEET! (Hell I still get a little salty when I want to rock an Afro but can't cuz my hair won't stay up in the correct form) our women simply need to stop wanting to fit into mainstream media standards and love what they have. POINT BLANK PERIOD. They can't change what's in their genes.
I would say you have 4a that's the size of my curls on the top half of my head and it's voluminous but my back is a mixture of 3c and 3b not very voluminous so my hair looks like a mullet shape😣 that is until I stretch it🙏🙌. You could just say 3c 4a mix to cover basis for those questioning it.
I’m glad you did this video for some clarity. Just like you I’ve always looked at others to determine what hair type I am but then end I realize what type I am cause I feel like most people use it to divide the curly hair community. I think your hair is beautiful, it’s very similar to mine hence why I am a subscriber of yours 💕
I've gone through this too. I thought I was type 4, but I hear 3C. Even 3B/3C. I said maybe I'm 3C/4a hair, but it just gets so confusing and it's too much. My hair is whatever I claim it to be. You can be multi-textured as well, so I honestly don't know how that hair typing stuff works. Maybe we need to redo the whole hair typing chart if it's that serious. Since we have similar hair and I'm subscribed, I figured we were type 4 🤷🏾♀️ Keep doing you though.~
hair type doesn’t matter just shows you what your hair would look like in certain styles and that is still a maybe. porosity, density, thick/thin hair strands is what makes a difference in how your hair handles products, styles etc. everyone’s hair is different don’t matter the hair type and type 4 hair comes in so many different variations and people think that if it’s not super course then it’s not 4 no! people don’t know shit and always mad lol your hair is what you think and say it is!
I think you have type 4 hair I see type 4a but you’re right it doesn’t matter because most black women curl pattern is different in each part of their hair due to heat damage or chemical damage but your hair looks beautiful.
Man that’s he my hair is now... it takes a lot of products to get it to curl and to feel moisturized and I think I’m high porosity too with the test. What did you change? Like Shampoos... Deep Conditioners... etc. And waging routine. Because I’ve learned that my hair love silicones but I don’t want to use them all the time.. I gots to get this together lol
I don't think hair typing makes a difference. I just use what works. It is impossible to type my hair, because I have 3 different types on each strand. It grows out straight from the root, then becomes wavy and curls on the ends. I don't know what you would call that. At any rate, your hair is beautiful!!
I wonder what's my hair type . It's not silky but when I put products on it , it's really curly and pretty. I think I'm 4a 4b ... My cousin has 4c cause no matter what products she put on her hair when it drys the curls disappears.
id say its definitely 4a because im 3c with some 3b and your curls are pretty tight and small even while wet, but I definitely understand why hair typing isn't productive because density, coarseness, and porosity also play a role
Thanks for this video!! It's really not that seroius, who cares what they think. Who are them to tell you about your own hair! Your hair is beautiful. 💖
I see why you did this video! They was going @ it in the comments!🤦These #'s for hair is getting out of hand! Thinking about it, it seems like another way to divide &conquer. I'm looking @ it on a deeper level...It's hard trying to figure out your hair type... But to figure out porosity it's supposed to be on fresh clean hair w/o any products on it, so I'm not sure if the hair from ur brush had products, but do it freshly washed w/o any products!...Anyways, I was doing the same thing as far as seeing certain types of hair that was similar to mine w/certain products&would go out&buy those products and using oils &my hair was very dry&brittle &lifeless after trying all that stuff so I dont think my hair likes oils so🤷I was thinking each person has to do what works for them!👌
I don't know my hair type or my porosity either and I don't care. It's multi textured and too complex to put into a category 😃 your hair is beautiful and healthy and that's all that matters.
I have to same hair texture lol and i glad to see im not the only one struggling with figuring this out. lol so for all my people so lets just call it 4z because its in between both.
You know they say to use strands with no product coating & bone dry, my hair visually looks like yours, but mine's odd it floats, but I left cup on counter came back it sank, came back even later & it was floating again ! what the *$#" ?! P. S. & water post to be room temperature ?
If my hair stretches instead of shrinking When Wet what type hair do you guys think I have I've always wanted to know that I'm just still not sure
5 лет назад
Honestly I don't know and can't figure out my hair type...🤷🏾♀️I always thought my hair was like 3c/4a but I really don't know fr. Either way it go I love my hair it's healthy and that's all that matters 😊I do know I have low porosity hair tho.
I dont like the hair type system its annoying and I feel like hair type in a way changes especially as our hair grows longer it can start to appear looser, so idk.
For me hair typing doesn't matter; it doesn't mean anything literally its just the physical appearance of ones hair but that doesn't help determine how beautiful your hair is or what products to use.
I haven't hair typed either. When I was transitioning I had someone who was so eager to type my hair and I'm like wait til I get rid of my relaxed ends first sheesh! But I think I'm 3c 4a hair as well. But really I don't gaf😂
Girl yes, ppl take this way too serious. It’s okay to have suggestions, or to help ppl find out what their hair type is. But to come at people so aggressively like that, it’s just not that serious 🤦🏽♀️
Watch the entire video I include pictures as well..
What do you guys think tho? Do I have 4a or 3c 🤔🤔🤔
I think u have a mixture of 3c and 4a like me
Could be a mixture of both, it is possible.
You have a mixture of both. I have 3 different textures throughout my hair so it's very possible to have two lol.
Type Mix Zigzag Curls 〰️〰️➿
Look like combination
But not easy to tell always by camera views
It is a combination of 3c/4a. Just keep taking care of your hair. It's beautiful. Don't pay attention to comments. You will end up crazy.
My hair type is 3c/4a too I wish my hair was that long though
Your hair is “TYPE BEAUTIFUL” it doesn’t really matter the hair type 🤷🏽♀️ as long as we all love our natural hair we don’t need to worry about anything else ❤️❤️❤️

Any photo with type four hair in its undefined state is immediately labeled as 4c, so the hair typing system is very flawed 🙄🙄
Here's my take: A pure type 3 will have to scrunch and diffuse. A pure type 4 will have to stretch hair. A 3c-4a will use the dryer/try to keep their hair exactly the way it is.
I feel like the discussion is kind of pointless, but maybe you should make a video about how your hair texture changed with care.
That’s so true 😊
You know your hair better than anybody...🙄🙄, the internet trolls have too much time on they hands. Also, your hair is 🔥, doesn’t have to be 3c to be that.
My hair texture is 3c 4a, but when I see other youtubers with the same texture the grade of their hair is different. Hair is very tedious

Exactly me and my mother have the same curl pattern but my hair is much thicker than hers and her hair is more fine . It doesn’t matter do what works for you🤷🏽♀️
Right my curls are 4a but my texture is fine
Hair typing isn't even that important unless someone is first starting out as a natural. People get so butthurt over it and it's not even that serious to me.
Natural J same here!!
I think a lot of it has to do with the length of your hair. It looks like 4a to me.
FYI: you can have “multiple porosities” throughout your hair along with “multiple hair textures” in areas of your hair.. Just do what works for “YOUR” hair.. And of course that varies from person to person.. Each of us have different heads of hair..💁🏽
That’s exactly what I’ve been doing before I even learned about hair type/porosity.. my hair does what it wants so I just act accordingly lol

Hair type is straight, curly,wavy ,kinky and coily but
Texture is a ,b ,c

I think you have 3c/4a Hair😍🌺
It actually kinda looks similar to Bella Mecia’s hair but your hair is longer.

Jacky ! Hey girl!!!
A lot of people in the other video seem to not release that Type 4a is closer 3c and can mimic it when wet.
Absolutely. She is 100% 4A as this video shows. ruclips.net/video/V8x-9Oxrz4w/видео.html dumbasses cant tell she has product in her hair.
Exactly but it's being said that 3 c is bigger
Type Multi-texture Hair to me 4a/3c when hydrated💦 type 3 can also come in Zigzag and Curls 〰️➰➿ . Some of my curls are the width of a Sharpie marker (type3 curl size) and some of my curls/zigzag are the size of a pencil and pen spring (type 4 hair) I consider my hair multi textured or 4a/3c with marker/pencil/pen spring size curl and Zzzz 🙋🏾♀️🙋🏾♀️🙋🏾♀️
Your curls remind me of jewelina palencia and she's also 3c -4a the first chart you used wasnt accurate
GSW Power jewjewbe has 3b/3c hair
@@marbelysamparo7984 no jewelina definitely has 3c/4a
Jewelina has 3c and 3b if you watch her videos you can see
Merroegia Alice uhm no jewelina has nowhere near 4a...
Jewjewbee is definitely in the type 3 family
I don’t like hair typing because everyone’s hair looks different. My natural hair is in the type 4 range too, but everyone tells me something else. So when ppl ask me, I say my hair is CURLY and THICKK(with 2 k’s)😂
Exactly why I don’t hair type 🤦🏾♀️
Your hair is mix of 3c and 4a , mostly 3c , beautiful hair😍
Marbelys Amparo *mostly 4a
tsuyu asui no it’s mostly 3c. Compare her hair to naptural85 and then come back sis
Are you seriously arguing about hair on somebody else’s head 😂
Your hair look like type 4a. But remember you can have a combo of types hair on your head. Like the back of my hair has tighter curls than the front. So I have a mix of type 4a and b according to my stylist. I personally use product according to the Porosity it’s much easier.
You’re so adorable and pretty
Bryanna Jordan thank you ☺️
Those hair charts are most definitely confusing, from what I seen I think my hair is both type 3 and 4. But I agree it’s not that big of a deal everyone’s hair is beautiful.
Emily Ariana I agree with you its not a big deal but in terms of hair products and techniques some things work better on certain hair textured than others example shea butter is great for my 4b/4c hair but too heavy for 3b/3a or type 2 or 3 hair but most of us have a mixture of textures ..also knowing your porosity is important because again certain products n or techniques works better or different for high, low and medium porosity hair ..this is why natural hair is call a hair journey cause what may work for one isnt going to work for another person
My hair looks exactly like yours except it’s shorter at the moment (big chopped for the second time) & consider it to be 4a. When my hair was longer, the curls became more weighted down & it does manipulate how the curl looks slightly, but it’s still 4a. 3b/3c is a much looser curl. People think because you have definition means you can’t be a type 4! I was seeing people say “Oh if you don’t have an Afro you are not type 4.” HUH? Lol, that’s not how it works. 😂
I think it’s both 💜 I have multiple textures in my hair too.
Could you possibly do a video sharing how you "trained" your hair from what it looked like before to now? My hair is similar to how you described yours when you first went natural and it does not want to work with me, it's so frizzy!! By the way, your hair is beautiful!!
Your hair is both 3c and 4a, either was its beautiful and hair type doesn't matter that much anyway
I thought I had 3c hair but looking at charts now i’m thinking it is 4a now. and yes based on the chart and pics you have 4a hair. either way your hair is beautiful that hair type stuff is too confusing lol
I looked at your hair videos and you both have totally different hair types/textures. I thinks she has a beautiful combination of 4a/3c and I think you appear to have a beautiful combination of 3c/3b. Both heads of hair gorgeous but very different.
I totally agree with Luna Mysteria. You look like you're strictly in the 3 family, no type 4 at all. It'll be easier to tell as your hair gets longer.
BTW I think your hair is beautiful no matter what type or texture it is.
All hair has the potential to look jacked up if it isn't cared for properly, and also look beautiful as well.
Can you do a video on your hair journey
I've been natural for 27 years and non of this mattered until recent years. It's like ppl want to feel like they have "good" hair meanwhile good hair could be 5 inches long, where 'nappy' hair could be down to the person's butt bc they know their hair. It's so divisive!! What matters is the relationship you have with your hair, meaning, how well do you listen, observe and actually KNOW your own hair. Know your hairs porosity and never waste $ on products!! treat your hair WITH LOVE! Just like skin, everyone's hair will be different and you must treat your hair like an individual. Happy hair journey, everyones hair is beautiful when you love on it!❤❤❤
you probably have a mixture of 4a and 3c. Hair typing is so hard b/c I don't feel like my hair falls into a specific category. your hair looks bomb, and your accent is cute lol! found your channel today and subscribed!!
Ashley H. Hey girl hey! Thanks for subscribing 😊
Low porosity doesn’t stay dry. It’s just hard to get the moisture in. Once in it stays pretty moisturized. And our hair takes forever to dry. I said this on a more recent video, but it’s def 3C/4A combo. Some are 3C, some 4A and some look like a mixture. Hair is also typed when wet/damp, not dry. But in the end, as long as it’s healthy, that’s what matters most.
Yeah. Like others commented, people confuse texture and pattern. They basically see silkier hair strands and say “oh no, that can’t be a type 4 curl pattern,” when that’s very false.
Right
I so appreciate this video conversation. 👍🏾 I’m now rethinking the ENTIRE hair typing system and my hair too. 😂
Btw you can have different types of porosity throughout your hair. One part can be high another low porosity
Bryanna Jordan thanks.. I didn’t know that 🤔
Ma’am you know your hair better than anyone else. I have the same issue as you. Our hair looks alike but you have a higher density. I know depending on products, wetness, and dryness, I have three different types throughout the week. I don’t classify. It’s just curly and I use creams, gels, custards,. If I were to classify it would be 4a also.
Omg girl I get you cause I’ve always said I’ve had type 4 hair and I was proud of it and people were always like oh you have curly hair why don’t you embrace it but at the end of the day it’s just hair and it’s not that serious honestly just embrace your hair❤️❤️❤️❤️
Is your hair cut in layers? I love the shape of it ❤️
Yea those comments in your last video were OD lmao. It also depends on if the hair you put in the cup had hair product on it cause that’ll weigh it down. You have to make sure the hair is clean before you do the porosity test. Please do a video on your hair journey with pictures if you can, I would love to see where you started and how you got to this point.
Yeah people also don't understand that type 4 hair loosens as it grows due to the weight of the curls so type 4a as it grows tends to almost mimic 3c hair the longer it grows so the two constantly get confused with one another. My hair is shoulder length and as it grows it dramaticly starts loosening and mimicking type 3 when its moisturized and hydrated simply due to the weight of the hair opening the curls.. In the end it doesnt matter because none of us have the same exact curl pattern even if it appears to be identicle hair is like finger prints its very unique to each person no matter the race of people. As black people some of us forget we are the most genetically diverse people on this planet so our hair textures are so unique to each of us individually so no curl typing chart will ever be 100% accurate its impossible so the chart is just a gauge for what ever range your hair texture falls into so it can help with styling and techniques for hair care that are good for what ever your range is.
I agree completely. When my hair is dry with no products it looks 4a and b but when wet with produce its 3c.
You can tell the difference between low and high porosity basically if you was to put product on somebody that has low porosity the products going to sit on top and for somebody for high porosity the products soaks right in
Notification Squad!!!🙋🏾♀️❤ Love the Intro and Content!!💃🏾💃🏾🥰 I was the same until I went to the hair show in ATL and one of the hairstylist told me I'm 3b 3c. Just not sure of my porosity but I will do the test.
Thank you!! And at first I didn’t think about learning my porosity but I’m glad I did bcuz now I can know exactly how to treat my hair.
Be sure to take a porosity quiz! It's really accurate that's how I found my porosity. 🤗
Where can I find the quiz?
@@MiaNicole I took about two or three. I do remember using a website called Curlsbot. Just type in hair porosity quiz Curlsbot!
Natural J okay thanks girl 😊
I always go by the Green beauty hair typing system. That one is more inclusive and makes more sense.
Could you please give us transitioning people some tips? Also could you give us beginners on how to get our curls popping like this? Last how did your hair look when you first started?did you transition?
The thing about the porosity test is that it’s best to get a strand from the root, and also a strand without any product after a fresh wash. Product buildup can not only weigh the strand down but also keep water from getting in, producing a false result.
Thank you! Someone told me that earlier, so I definitely will be doing it the proper way to make sure I actually am high porosity. But based off the characteristics alone I do feel like I am.
I defiantly felt this in every level 😩😩🙌🏾 frfr, me personally I think you have 4a hair. But like you said it doesn’t matter, shoot your hair still looks beautiful 😍❤️
Girl my hair is just like yours hence why I subscribed to you and I thought I was type 4. I get confused by those charts and I know porosity and density play a major part. I think I have a mix of hair types
Tbh there isn’t that big of a difference between 3c and 4a. Type 4a is just a LITTLE tighter and may not hold as much moisture as easily
That's true because my hair is 3c 3b 4a and it's not that hard to blend the 4a section with the rest of my curl patterns. I just give that section a little extra loving and it comes out very defined.
I hate the hair typing chart because it confuses a lot of people for some reason! I already commented on the wet look video, first regardless of the type, your hair is very pretty. Looking at it in this video I stand by what I said in the other video, you are definitely 3c embrace it, it's amazing!
I love hair and studying about black African hair, its my hobbie tbh. I think the reason why people or viewers see that you are not considered as a 4 hair type because, I believe that it is impossible to create a wet look on 4 hair that is fine or thicker, coily/kinky wet looks just doesn't work. From what I can see you have medium to high density, thick, maybe fine, you know your porosity then sis that is all that matters. I was more interested in hair textures so that I could find the right hair combs and brushes that is suitable for my kinky coily fine strands and high porosity it's a lot of work. Like some books say that black hair have different textures and is true because I have tested and hopefully one day I will put my content out there. Do you, I like your videos, your bun technique actually help me as well. Thank you, have a beautiful day ☺
Thank you! I appreciate your input 😌
Hi hello Mia Nicole👋🏾 I'm new to your channel since yesterday and I have been binge watching your hair videos. (I find it calming for some reason to watch other women of color do their hair🤷🏾♀️) anywho you have yourself a new subscriber 🥰💯💖👍🏾 anyways, I'm a mixed breed chick with legit shit different hair types/textures... seriously.....my family is from all over the Caribbean, (Aruba, Dominican Republic, St.Lucia etc etc) so my genes def got it all, my Oma (grandma in Dutch def has the hair type Americans WILL label "that good hair/Spanish girl hair" etc her mother/my great grandma, was Dominican, and her hair type was in the 2's...while her dad coming from st.lucia hmmm I can't tell cuz he had a buzz cut/army cut style so I don't know) my mom got a mixture of different hair types considering the fact my oma's ex husband was an American citizen/ African American....so she got his type 4 hair, as well as her mother's and Grandma's type 2-3's hair, and the thing about genes is that you can pick up on a relative from far back in the family tree that hasn't been seen in a while, some of my relatives are white, my mom told me one of her uncles was a man of color with sharp blue eyes and damn near straight hair. So it's not to far fetched that his genes circled back around and my mom got his hair type as well, and she has blue that circles the outer rims of her brown eyes. So over all my mother has straighter type 2 or rather 3a hair in the front and sides, and various type 3 in the middle and back. And as for me being her daughter, I have it too, straighter in the front and sides/looser curls/coils/waves or whatever...... And as for the very top/middle it's about 3b-4a. (My father's side of the family is a mixture of African American and Indian. And I can see it so hardcore in my father's mother. But when I wanted to know what tribe she wouldn't tell me and was giving me sarcasm 😂.) But everyone in my family tree uses water and gel or some form of custard/pudding and keeps it moving. 🥰😁💯 So in general I said all that to make a point of saying it IS possible for a person of color to have more than one hair type on their head😎👌🏾👍🏾, we are walking testimonies of that. As for porosity, mine and my mother's is low porosity. My hair is Fuller and thicker while my mom's is thin cuz of her Lupus.(which is known to making your hair thinner😓😫😞) the sad thing about this world is that most of our people want looser curls so bad, they still try every day so hard to get type 2-3 hair, and that's why THEY binge watch videos to see what they can do to look like the mixed breeds. Point blank period....most people haven't truly embraced their hair and get comfortable with the hair type they were born with. It's that simple. And for those who would argue with me about it saying that's not true ARE the ones who want looser curls. Why else would people be getting butt hurt over it? Why else would they be willing to argue with YOU about what hair type YOU have?! 🤷🏾♀️As if they are pushing you(and possibly others they connect with) to claim the end of the spectrum of looser curls/coils. Most women of color is still fighting so hard to fit into the beauty standards the world has set in order to fit in and be called "Beautiful" not understanding that being on the darker color spectrum of skin tone IS GORGEOUS actually, and having full thick crown of tight curls is STILL JUST AS SWEET! (Hell I still get a little salty when I want to rock an Afro but can't cuz my hair won't stay up in the correct form) our women simply need to stop wanting to fit into mainstream media standards and love what they have. POINT BLANK PERIOD. They can't change what's in their genes.
I would say you have 4a that's the size of my curls on the top half of my head and it's voluminous but my back is a mixture of 3c and 3b not very voluminous so my hair looks like a mullet shape😣 that is until I stretch it🙏🙌. You could just say 3c 4a mix to cover basis for those questioning it.
I also have 4a hair but mine is a fine smooth texture so i get mistaken for 3c lol honestly i consider myself a type 4 natural some say I’m a 3
Bryanna Jordan I consider myself 4 too .. but at the end of the day it really doesn’t matter, I can’t change it 🤷🏽♀️
Mine too. Im 4a curls with a fine texture
Boo you have beautiful hair . :-) keep doing what you are doing looks great
Can you do your updated "Go To" wash and go?
I’m glad you did this video for some clarity. Just like you I’ve always looked at others to determine what hair type I am but then end I realize what type I am cause I feel like most people use it to divide the curly hair community. I think your hair is beautiful, it’s very similar to mine hence why I am a subscriber of yours 💕
I've gone through this too. I thought I was type 4, but I hear 3C. Even 3B/3C. I said maybe I'm 3C/4a hair, but it just gets so confusing and it's too much. My hair is whatever I claim it to be. You can be multi-textured as well, so I honestly don't know how that hair typing stuff works. Maybe we need to redo the whole hair typing chart if it's that serious.
Since we have similar hair and I'm subscribed, I figured we were type 4 🤷🏾♀️ Keep doing you though.~
Abbey Saint thanks girl 😊
hair type doesn’t matter just shows you what your hair would look like in certain styles and that is still a maybe. porosity, density, thick/thin hair strands is what makes a difference in how your hair handles products, styles etc. everyone’s hair is different don’t matter the hair type and type 4 hair comes in so many different variations and people think that if it’s not super course then it’s not 4 no! people don’t know shit and always mad lol your hair is what you think and say it is!
Haha thank you! I completely agree with you
Yesss finally!!!one of my favorite youtubers are highporosity and yes I feel you on that whole day one curl and humidity 😭
How is your hair cut ? Like the style ? Did you cut it on straight hair or a curly hair cut ?
I tried to cut it in layers but it was a fail. It’s shorter in the front and longer in the back. And I cut it on wet hair.
I think you have S shaped 4a curls. I think it's rare for someone with type 4 hair to have S shaped(wavy) curls instead of C shaped(looped).
I think you have type 4 hair I see type 4a but you’re right it doesn’t matter because most black women curl pattern is different in each part of their hair due to heat damage or chemical damage but your hair looks beautiful.
You should do finger coils❤️it would look so pretty
Man that’s he my hair is now... it takes a lot of products to get it to curl and to feel moisturized and I think I’m high porosity too with the test. What did you change? Like Shampoos... Deep Conditioners... etc. And waging routine. Because I’ve learned that my hair love silicones but I don’t want to use them all the time.. I gots to get this together lol
I don’t think it should matter. Your hair is beautiful no matter what it is . I personally think it’s 4a but again, it’s healthy and beautiful.
I love your hair omg 😍😍😍
What products did you use for this wash and go? Beautiful regardless of your type❤️🔥🔥
I don't think hair typing makes a difference. I just use what works. It is impossible to type my hair, because I have 3 different types on each strand. It grows out straight from the root, then becomes wavy and curls on the ends. I don't know what you would call that. At any rate, your hair is beautiful!!
Watched 5 of your videos back to back. New subscriber!
Thank you for supporting my channel ☺️🤗
you have 4a bc they think when the texture of you hair is soft that its 3c and that when its wet its 3c but when you hair dries the curls are tighter.
Your hair is just like mine. It’s a weird mix 😂😂😂 i still can’t pick one hair type 🤷🏽♀️
What's your hair care routine. Do you take vitamins etc
I wonder what's my hair type . It's not silky but when I put products on it , it's really curly and pretty. I think I'm 4a 4b ... My cousin has 4c cause no matter what products she put on her hair when it drys the curls disappears.
3c 4a PERIODTTT
id say its definitely 4a because im 3c with some 3b and your curls are pretty tight and small even while wet, but I definitely understand why hair typing isn't productive because density, coarseness, and porosity also play a role
I think I have 3c type hair but i dont know how to take care of it
Thanks for this video!! It's really not that seroius, who cares what they think. Who are them to tell you about your own hair! Your hair is beautiful. 💖
For some reason the front of my hair looks like 3c but the back is more lock 4a
I see why you did this video! They was going @ it in the comments!🤦These #'s for hair is getting out of hand! Thinking about it, it seems like another way to divide &conquer. I'm looking @ it on a deeper level...It's hard trying to figure out your hair type... But to figure out porosity it's supposed to be on fresh clean hair w/o any products on it, so I'm not sure if the hair from ur brush had products, but do it freshly washed w/o any products!...Anyways, I was doing the same thing as far as seeing certain types of hair that was similar to mine w/certain products&would go out&buy those products and using oils &my hair was very dry&brittle &lifeless after trying all that stuff so I dont think my hair likes oils so🤷I was thinking each person has to do what works for them!👌
I think the ends tend to be more high porosity than the roots
I don't know my hair type or my porosity either and I don't care. It's multi textured and too complex to put into a category 😃 your hair is beautiful and healthy and that's all that matters.
I have to same hair texture lol and i glad to see im not the only one struggling with figuring this out. lol so for all my people so lets just call it 4z because its in between both.
My hair looks like yours and I be confused too sis 😂🤷🏽♀️
I have 3b hair and my hair get's dry. Curly hair gets dry in general.
You have to do porosity on clean hair. Beautiful hair
You know they say to use strands with no product coating & bone dry, my hair visually looks like yours, but mine's odd it floats, but I left cup on counter came back it sank, came back even later & it was floating again ! what the *$#" ?!
P. S. & water post to be room temperature ?
If my hair stretches instead of shrinking When Wet what type hair do you guys think I have I've always wanted to know that I'm just still not sure
Honestly I don't know and can't figure out my hair type...🤷🏾♀️I always thought my hair was like 3c/4a but I really don't know fr. Either way it go I love my hair it's healthy and that's all that matters 😊I do know I have low porosity hair tho.
I dont like the hair type system its annoying and I feel like hair type in a way changes especially as our hair grows longer it can start to appear looser, so idk.
For me hair typing doesn't matter; it doesn't mean anything literally its just the physical appearance of ones hair but that doesn't help determine how beautiful your hair is or what products to use.
I be confused of my hairtype some ppl say I have 3c others say I have 4a I just be so confused🥺🙈💜
3c/4a
I haven't hair typed either. When I was transitioning I had someone who was so eager to type my hair and I'm like wait til I get rid of my relaxed ends first sheesh! But I think I'm 3c 4a hair as well. But really I don't gaf😂
Girl yes, ppl take this way too serious. It’s okay to have suggestions, or to help ppl find out what their hair type is. But to come at people so aggressively like that, it’s just not that serious 🤦🏽♀️
You're on team 3c - 4a
Agree 4A 👍🏽
