do you comb out the natural patterns of your hair? Or do you kinda just use a product and let it curl up?
U need to do a styling vid for me cuz I want mine to kinda spiral like that :stressed:
Your mess grew so long so fast so I know you're doing something right. :wellheythere:
And what products do you use for like leave in, daily styling etc
Hey bae :stressed:
I just do a wash and go.
Finger detangle and finger comb my hair in the shower, then once I'm out apply a leave in conditioner and a little bit of oil to seal the moisture in.
Then I take just a LITTLE bit of gel (quarter size amount) and rake it through.
I've noticed that the less I do to my hair, the more it "likes" me. :dead:
I've been using way less conditioner, etc.
My hair looks a bit thick and coarse when it's all together
but if you look closely, my hair strands are all very fine, a combination of waves and curls.
so it's only so much my hair can take before it starts looking weighed down and matted. which ain't fucking cute.
But it all depends on your curl pattern. Whether it's combed or not, your curl pattern is your curl pattern.
I don't own any grooming utensils, everything is done by hand.
my mother's side of the family all have hair like mine. I'm just learning how to take better care of it.
Do you know your hair type?
Lemme post a pic and maybe u can help me out...
Should I wet it ain't oil it a bit first then show u?
:stressed:
No I'm not 100 % sure of my hair type but I know i only have one type and not a mixture. But like you said there are times where it can look dry, matted and coarse and normally it's not like that especially if I don't over wash/condition it
I recently had to cut some of my dead ends and so I've just been washing, parting, moisturizing, twisting and setting it to just leave the moisture in. And I also wear a drag now at night. And it seems like it's been growing back pretty fast.

In order to see your natural curl pattern, make sure your hair hasn't been heat treated for at least a month or so.
U know how I feel about flat irons and mess. they're the devil .
A lot of people get "tricked" once they put down the heat and the perms.
they see a "curl pattern" and automatically assume its their natural mess. curls! waves!
permed/heat treated or damaged hair has a limp, lifeless look to it.
This girl is one of them. She thinks she has curls but that "pattern" is simply her hair getting out of a damaged state. And she had the nerve to add a disclaimer in the description for other people about "embracing their curl patterns" when hers hasn't even surfaced yet.
"Don't try this home if ur hair isn't curly! Not for everyone!"
Like sis, those aren't even curls. 3C Curls spiral. like a corkscrew. they look bouncy and lively. not dangle like a damn string. :dead: :plzstop:

Ooop.
Well I did flat iron my hair once in September. I don't do it often but sometimes when I want my mess to LAY, I'll do it.
Normally I just blow dry it, oil, syrum and wrap ha and it gets pretty straight on its own over night.
Let's see here...I'll snap a few pics and show u how I normally set it over night and lemme know if it's a good technique

Good :stressed: Keep that fucking heat away from ur head.
Hair isn't meant to be baked :udontlookok:
How long have u been doing that?
these are the products I use.
I follow what's called the "Curly Girl Method" now. Just started and I've noticed a huge difference. which is amazing because its quite simple. Don't know why I didn't do this before. I think a lot of times we like to think we know what's best for our hair. oh! special! not like everyone else! my own routine! :cheerup: when there are simple steps that work for pretty much anyone with that hair type:
http://www.naturallycurly.com/curlreading/no-poo/the-curly-girl-method-for-coily-hair/
But I don't follow it exactly the way its presented. Here's my way of doing it.
I start with Shea Moisture Coconut & Hibiscus conditioner
gently glide it thru my hair. this gets my hair ready for detangling (never detangle dry hair. or hair that's not conditioned. it breaks ur hair off)
then, I take my fingers, using them like a comb and gently glide it through my hair to get rid of any tangles.
from root to tip. (and you'll see me saying "root to tip" A LOT. because everything should be done that way.)
(http://www.naturalme4c.com/uploads/1/4/5/1/14511778/6476476_orig.jpg?318)
then once I'm out the shower, I put in my leave DevaCurl B'Leave In .. leave in conditioner
My hair is quite fine and not coarse so it cannot handle thick butters or cremes too well. using a light, water based leave in conditioner is the best way to go for me.
Again, ROOT TO TIP, take a nice amount and I rake through my hair to ensure that it's distributed evenly.
(http://www.voila-salon-spa.com/OnlineStore/images/bleavein.jpg)
now, I take a few pinches of Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and apply it throughout my hair, raking it through.
this is called SEALING the hair. using oil AFTER your leave in conditioner seals in that fabulous moisture.
curls need all the moisture they can get.
(http://topbeautybrands.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/olive-oil-for-soft-hands.jpeg)
And I only use one styler now. Which is gel. But I use VERY LITTLE.
I take a VERY SMALL AMOUNT of gel
again VERY SMALL AMOUNT. quarter size. and I have a LOT of hair but again, VERY SMALL AMOUNT
(my hair is easily weighed down, and gel will also HARDEN your hair if you apply too much. walking around looking like curled stones are on top of ur head. :dead: also known as "crunchy curls" ...which again, ain't fucking cute)
and I gently rake the small amount of gel into my head.
Sometimes I Honestly don't think I need the gel once I'm done sealing, but I just feel weird not applying at least ONE styling product. :dead:
Okay so all these pics besides the bottom 2 I just took:
The first pic is what my hair strands like.
Then I wet my hair and add in the leave in lotion from Shea.
Then I separate my hair into 4 parts and make sure I lather my hair a bit in the two oils and detangler.
I don't like doing this process everyday so what I do is I twist it and wrap it at that pulled state. Like the photo below. Then I put a Durag on let it set overnight.
Then in the morning I comb it out (see bottom left) and then put up my man bun mess and punch. (Bottom right)

Your hair is beautiful. It looks nice and thick, and healthy.
And soft. :stressed:
Based on those pics, I'd say you have beautiful type 4 hair.
I'm going to be honest with you ... spirals are something that happen soon as I wet my hair.
I just am learning to better capture them and not weigh them down. Which is why you probably notice that my hair now looks lighter and fluffier. My curls are simply driven by moisture. Which is why I put a strong focus on conditioning and moisturizing now. And very very little focus on styling products. I'm just letting it do it's own thing.
Curl patterns don't come in a bottle. And that's fine. You have so much to work with.
I know how you feel. I may see someone with super super super wavy hair and I'm like OMG its so pretty :stressed:
But many times when we do that we forget how beautiful our own tea is.
I love your buns and the knots. I think you have your own thing going tbh. And it fits you.
I wouldn't dare try to those knots and mess. :dead: not everyone can pull it off :stressed:
Wait, I'm looking a bit closer at the pic and I think I see a little curl going on.
I wish you had a pic with better lighting so I could get IN.
This is so confusing, is there a better one? Mine my doesn't just KEEP spiraling
I wish there was a way to really tell WHAT you have for a fact? Can u have a mixture?

I love my lil knots, it helps me tend to my hair more Individually because it's so THICK. But I'd NEVER go in public like that :kii:
And thank you bby :wub:
I do wanna try your strategy tho for the times when I kinda wanna just wet lather and pump :supluv:
The oil thing sounds so help, that LOCKING in of the moisture
Let me ask you....
Your hair is shorter, but do you feel see any individual curls in your head? Like can you separate curls in your head? when I say individual...
here's a pic when my hair was shorter. earlier this year.
u can see these were kinda my "baby spirals" :stressed: they were just starting to make their way out.
i was able to pull each of them if i wanted to. they had their own little identities lol if u get what i mean.

You definitely can have a mixture of patterns.
It's pretty common from what I've heard.
but the mixture doesn't come on the strands themselves.
moreso on how the strands come together on different sections of people's head.

Your hair looks so soft.
don't see the spirals or lil bvy corkscrew curls.
I just think you have very very soft hair.
it looks like type 4 to me. like 4A.
you have curls, they're just not very loose. to the point where they form individual mess . that's all.
here's a beautiful example.

if u dnt alrdy
argan oil is good to use afta u condition
it rlly lock tha moisture in & gives ur hair sum extra sheen & shines!
And I so hate even really discussing hair types sometimes because I feel like we get a little TOO wrapped up into it. But it's sooooooooo helpful when looking for products to help your hair. Extremely helpful. White people use the hair typing system as well. They usually fall under 1 or 2.
At the end of the day, what matters is that your hair is sitting. And that your mug is sitting. :supluv:

only because its so much thicker. Becky can put a DAB of conditioner in her bone straight thin hair and cry that it's too oily and weighing her hair down. :kii: :kii: :plzstop: :plzstop:
We tend to have a lot more hair.
I just have to be really careful not to weigh it down with TOO much. my hair is tricky because it's not becky, but it's not very coarse either. so finding that balance has been tough.

i think our hair needs a lil more product than white people's
only because its so much thicker. Becky can put a DAB of conditioner in her bone straight thin hair and cry that it's too oily and weighing her hair down. :kii: :kii: :plzstop: :plzstop:
We tend to have a lot more hair.
I just have to be really careful not to weigh it down with TOO much. my hair is tricky because it's not becky, but it's not very coarse either. so finding that balance has been tough.
Now our SKIN. honey.....it couldn't get any simpler :justabit: hehe! :cheerup:

Hey bae :stressed:
I just do a wash and go.
Finger detangle and finger comb my hair in the shower, then once I'm out apply a leave in conditioner and a little bit of oil to seal the moisture in.
Then I take just a LITTLE bit of gel (quarter size amount) and rake it through.
I've noticed that the less I do to my hair, the more it "likes" me. :dead:
I've been using way less conditioner, etc.
My hair looks a bit thick and coarse when it's all together
but if you look closely, my hair strands are all very fine, a combination of waves and curls.
so it's only so much my hair can take before it starts looking weighed down and matted. which ain't fucking cute.
But it all depends on your curl pattern. Whether it's combed or not, your curl pattern is your curl pattern.
I don't own any grooming utensils, everything is done by hand.
my mother's side of the family all have hair like mine. I'm just learning how to take better care of it.
Do you know your hair type?
!!!!! black people dont need a ton of hair products and skin products. You just need to
find whats right for you. Everything aint for us :dead: end up bald and broken out all over if u want to

Just make sure not to LATHER it on at first.
layer it on gently to see how your skin will react. especially with it being colder now. unless you've just finished working out or something where your face or body is considerably sweaty.

Body - Black Soap and moisturize Cocoa/Shea (mixed with coconut oil, essential oils, jojoba oil) keeps me smooth.

my hair is kinda a combo of my mom and dads side of the family
i didn't notice that until my grandmother pointed it out.
my moms side has very curly and wavy hair types, but their hair is on the thinner side
and my dad's side has very thick coarse hair.
put them together and voila! :cheerup:
genetics are amazing.
i spend more on product cuz my hair is so dense. but i wouldn't trade my dense, thick hair in for ANYTHING.
overall though I look like my mom's side of the family.

these are the products I use.
I follow what's called the "Curly Girl Method" now. Just started and I've noticed a huge difference. which is amazing because its quite simple. Don't know why I didn't do this before. I think a lot of times we like to think we know what's best for our hair. oh! special! not like everyone else! my own routine! :cheerup: when there are simple steps that work for pretty much anyone with that hair type:
http://www.naturallycurly.com/curlreading/no-poo/the-curly-girl-method-for-coily-hair/
But I don't follow it exactly the way its presented. Here's my way of doing it.
I start with Shea Moisture Coconut & Hibiscus conditioner
gently glide it thru my hair. this gets my hair ready for detangling (never detangle dry hair. or hair that's not conditioned. it breaks ur hair off)
then, I take my fingers, using them like a comb and gently glide it through my hair to get rid of any tangles.
from root to tip. (and you'll see me saying "root to tip" A LOT. because everything should be done that way.)
(http://www.naturalme4c.com/uploads/1/4/5/1/14511778/6476476_orig.jpg?318)
then once I'm out the shower, I put in my leave DevaCurl B'Leave In .. leave in conditioner
My hair is quite fine and not coarse so it cannot handle thick butters or cremes too well. using a light, water based leave in conditioner is the best way to go for me.
Again, ROOT TO TIP, take a nice amount and I rake through my hair to ensure that it's distributed evenly.
(http://www.voila-salon-spa.com/OnlineStore/images/bleavein.jpg)
now, I take a few pinches of Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and apply it throughout my hair, raking it through.
this is called SEALING the hair. using oil AFTER your leave in conditioner seals in that fabulous moisture.
curls need all the moisture they can get.
(http://topbeautybrands.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/olive-oil-for-soft-hands.jpeg)
And I only use one styler now. Which is gel. But I use VERY LITTLE.
I take a VERY SMALL AMOUNT of gel
again VERY SMALL AMOUNT. quarter size. and I have a LOT of hair but again, VERY SMALL AMOUNT
(my hair is easily weighed down, and gel will also HARDEN your hair if you apply too much. walking around looking like curled stones are on top of ur head. :dead: also known as "crunchy curls" ...which again, ain't fucking cute)
and I gently rake the small amount of gel into my head.
Sometimes I Honestly don't think I need the gel once I'm done sealing, but I just feel weird not applying at least ONE styling product. :dead:
i saw that one and should've gotten that one....i got this one because i felt like i had seen that cantu name before

then once I'm out the shower, I put in my leave DevaCurl B'Leave In .. leave in conditioner
My hair is quite fine and not coarse so it cannot handle thick butters or cremes too well. using a light, water based leave in conditioner is the best way to go for me.
Again, ROOT TO TIP, take a nice amount and I rake through my hair to ensure that it's distributed evenly.

now, I take a few pinches of Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and apply it throughout my hair, raking it through.
this is called SEALING the hair. using oil AFTER your leave in conditioner seals in that fabulous moisture.
curls need all the moisture they can get.

And I only use one styler now. Which is gel. But I use VERY LITTLE.
I take a VERY SMALL AMOUNT of gel
again VERY SMALL AMOUNT. quarter size. and I have a LOT of hair but again, VERY SMALL AMOUNT
(my hair is easily weighed down, and gel will also HARDEN your hair if you apply too much. walking around looking like curled stones are on top of ur head. :dead: also known as "crunchy curls" ...which again, ain't fucking cute)
and I gently rake the small amount of gel into my head.
Sometimes I Honestly don't think I need the gel once I'm done sealing, but I just feel weird not applying at least ONE styling product. :dead:
i saw that one and should've gotten that one....i got this one because i felt like i had seen that cantu name before

Don't allow popularity or minimal familiarity with a product to drive your purchase.
I know all about Herbal Essences. Knew about it way before I heard about Shea Moisture, because they shove it down your throat through heavy advertising. But would I pick that mess up for MY black hair? :plzstop: :udontlookok:
That comparison is a stretch, because you actually got something that should work well in your type of hair. But you get what I mean. Do research before your purchase. Read reviews from people who have similar hair as you do. You know your hair type now, we had that discussion already. That is a very powerful tool in your quest for better hair. Type it in and research which products work best for it.
Base your purchases on a bit of research. You should know what you're going to get before you go shopping for it, Jacob. Always. But the Cantu mess should work for you. Let me know what it does. But in the future, research first, purchase later. The more you know about it before purchasing, the less chance you have of throwing away a coin.
