Well mixed hair isn't a hair type hun, I'm East African, dark skinned and have a similar hair texture as the girl above.

3b/3c, I hated my hair type and wished I had wavy/2c hair like my sisters, so after being natural my whole life I decided to texturize my hair recently :b

I basically didn't know what I was doing and had to cut off half my hair since the texturizer straightened parts of my hair.

I'm wearing a turban/hats until my hair grows back out…After that I'm cutting off the rest of my damaged hair..

Honestly girls with loose curls probably struggle with the same shit you do.

Just learn to love your hair, btw I hate this idea that only mixed girls have curly hair.

im white through and through, and i always notice black girls hair whether it be weave, straightened, a big afro, a shorter one, or "mixed" hair, and i think no matter what kind it's so awesome and beautiful?

but i always feel weird complimenting it in case it sounds like i'm objectifying their hair? but in response to your last sentence, i really do think natural hair looks great even if it's not the kind that's ~instafamous~

I have hair kinda like the OP pic but black and a lot thicker. I've had short ass hair (straightened everyday) for the past decade but now I've been growing it out. My current stylist doesn't like short layers in curly hair but I've also heard that curly hair needs short layers? I've never tried to deal with/enhance my natural hair before so I'm at a total loss of what a good style looks like.

I've been thinking of visiting a salon specializing in curly hair but their appointment process is kinda a pain lol.

Stylists are the enemy when you go natural tbh. You don't "need" short layers for curly hair. You just need to make sure that your shampoo is sulfate free, you comb that shit out when it's wet and let it air dry, and that your hair gets properly moisturized.

No. 58901

I am mixed and have hair like the pic IF and only IF I let it dry naturally and don't brush/comb it when dry or floofs up. I do keratin straightening though to keep my hair in good shape because it's just terribly dry and having to comb through it is just…awful.

I think most black girl natural hair could benefit from keratin too, even if you don't straighten it out after you wash. It'll at least make the kink/curl a little easier to handle.

Hi,

So this far I've had OP style curls for some reason. My mum has a fullblown pic related style hair naturally, but the hair texture is rougher.

My hair has started to curl lately a lot more, OP pic is now what it looks like if I don't do anything with it.
Since I'm a whitey, I have about half of the hairmass though. Any tips into the future care? It's pretty apparent that my hair is becoming an afro pretty soon and I have no idea what to do with it.

tldr I'm pale af, white eyebrows and all, but I have a blonde afro and no idea what to do with it.

No. 58991

>>58960
hair texture and shape can change depending on things like stress and hormones.

Also what do you want to do with it? Downplay the curls or really get them poppin? Maintenance would obvs be different depending on what you want to do with it.

No. 59012

>>58991
Id like to play it up, no point in trying to downplay. No hairdo stays and straightening doesnt work, it looks okay for about 15minutes.
Atm I use TIGI Blonde Curls stuff and have some Kardashian oil stuff. Ive never really done anything with my hair, since I like the look it has naturally. So,Im totally new and dont even know my options.

Any good blogs or resources to learn from? Googling obviously gives results, but afraid to fuck up my hair by taking bad advice.

No. 59027

First thing you have to learn about is how your hair holds moisture

https://www.naturallycurly.com/texture-typing/hair-porosity

If you're high porosity, that means your hair absorbs moisture quickly, but looses it quickly. The LOC method would work best for you

http://www.naturalhairrules.com/the-loc-method-2/

If you're low porosity, your hair doesn't absorb moisture quickly but it stays there for a while. So the best method for you is the LCO

http://www.naturalhairrules.com/l-o-c-method-best-order-hair-type-products/

(Talks more about all methods but you get the point)

Now for you in particular anon since you're white your hair doesn't need as much moisture, so adjust accordingly.

Moisturized hair is very important to having nice curls, but too much can cause moisture overload. I don't know what products to tell you to use because I'm black with a shitload of hair so you'll just have to figure that out on your own lol. Try starting with products that have coconut oil in them.

No. 59098

Coconut oil is really heavy though and a borderline meme, even for curls sometimes. I'd say try lighter oils first (you can google) and work your way up to find one that works for you.

As a white girl i just want to use this anonymous platform to say I love black girl hair. Whether it's styled more to a "white" style or you go full on natural afro, there's something about your hair texture i absolutely love. I know there's struggles with that kind of texture so i'm not like fetishizing it but i just wanna say this about it: If you got it, fucking rock it because god damn it is fucking beautiful.

You all keep rocking it because if it wasn't appropriation of me to do so, i'd lovingly style an afro every day.


Sincerely, a little white girl with fine, completely straight hair that doesn't hold a single curl ever

I want to say the same. I know you can't admit this publicly but wish I could have afro puffs. Even though I understand there are a lot of different hair types, watching 'dear white people' gave me so much envy especially for Colandra's natural curls and for this beautiful bouffant.

Some of their products where heavy for my hair, I have coarse strands with a normal porosity. If your hair starts to feel gummy and takes days to dry, then the products you're using are too heavy and you may have moisture overload.

With moisture overload at first your hair will feel very soft and nice, and you'll feel like everything is okay. But after a while you hair becomes very weak and starts to break a lot.

But if it works for you and leaves your hair properly moisturized then you're fine. How do you wash your hair exactly? Maybe you're being a bit rough.

I also advise you to make sure your shampoo is sulfate free, and try co-washing (washing your hair with just conditioner) and seeing if there's less breakage. How often do you wash your hair btw? I try and limit it to every two weeks unless I'm putting a lot of product in it. dry hair is brittle hair.

>>60593

Curl pattern twins ay. Don't see why your curl pattern has anything to do with dying your hair, though. I used to dye my hair all the time and the only reason I stopped is because I'm lazy/undecided on a new colour.

Also, do you need help with styling, or growing your hair? Because my hair is about a little past chin length curly and collar bone length when it's stretched out. I'm trying to get to collar bone curly so I've just been mostly keeping my hair in braids for now.

Ironically, by boycotting Shea Moisture like the little petulant children they are they're effectively harming a black business and preventing it from becoming (more) successful because they don't want the company to cater to everyone with curly hair, they specifically want Shea Moisture reps to stand next to their displays in Nazi uniforms and slap every curly haired white girl on the wrist before pointing to a big sign on the stand that says 'blacks only'.

Of course those are the same girls who then turn around and cry that the beauty industry is overrun by white people and that is why they can't find a good foundation shade. Somehow black businesses are always supposed to hit that sweet spot of catering to an ethnic niche whilst remaining successful and popular. Mmkay.

Bain Capital (which Mitt Romney co-founded) started investing in Shea Moisture's parent company about two years ago, through a minority stake. I don't use their products (they don't cater to my demographic), but most of the backlash I've seen seems to stem from this shift.

Sundial (the parent company) still seems like it's black and family owned, but a lot of those positions could be ceremonial (maybe that's what the other anon was saying?).

>https://www.fastcompany.com/3062099/how-sundial-brands-ceo-richelieu-dennis-is-challenging-segregation-in-the-beauty-aisle

Anyway, considering how they've planned to almost double the amount of distributors for their products, it does sound like they were attempting to broaden their demographic and cut corners at the same time, if glycerin is also cheap enough to use as filler.

Anyway, if a company no longer provides products intended for a specific audience (by eschewing their needs), it's not a surprise people are going to drop them. There's a difference between making a new line for experimental products and reformulating staples for your core base to the point it becomes unusable for many of them.

Sundial Brands, a leading skin care and hair care manufacturer and maker of brands including SheaMoisture and Nubian Heritage, is committed to making the highest quality products possible with natural, certified organic and ethically-sourced ingredients. Widely credited with introducing the concept of the New General Market to the beauty and retail industries, Sundial founder and CEO Richelieu Dennis began the company in 1992 with his college roommate, Nyema Tubman, and his mother, Mary Dennis, shortly after graduating from college and being unable to return to his home country of Liberia because of civil war."

It's more annoying that we have to share our products with white women and are eventually pushed out of products which were initially marketed to us using our money. Plus, as >>60801 said, if you're going to switch the formula you should make it worth the cost for EVERYONE, including your initial demographic. I think many Black women are also tired of our products, hair, and threads being co-opted by white people - especially women - who feel the need to have an input or belong to a movement that is not geared towards them.

Anyway, I brought up Ouidad because their products are actually pretty thick and I haven't ever heard a bad thing about their formula. I wanted to try them since someone recommended them as being similar to Shea Moisure but… Never tried anything from Sephora on that level before.

No. 60886

>>60881
I think anon is trying to say if they changed their demographic boycotting them isn't going to really help. They likely changed it to be more 'everyone friendly' while not realizing that white and asian people can legit put anything in their hair without damaging it.

boycotting now is like when all those fat girls "boycotted" abercrombie and fitch squeezed themselves into their clothes cause the ceo said he wasn't going to make clothes for fat girls. squeezing into those clothes didn't change the fact that the company wasn't making products for them, they didn't care about their opinion, if they did they'd have made larger sizes to begin with.

here, if shea moisture changed their formula, they did it knowingly.

No. 60889

>>60886

But here a boycott will work because like you said, white and asian people have more options for their hair, and aren't gonna shell out 15 dollars for a small bottle of conditioner that's in the ethnic section of target.

If they wanted to be everyone friendly they could have made a separate line, but they probably realized that wouldn't work either because they'd have to lower the prices on that line to compete. And that would have been a while different can of worms because then you'd have the original target demographic paying out the ass for a small amount of products while everyone else gets their shit cheaper.

Or, they'd have to lower the prices on the products made for afro-textured hair without changing the formula and potentially lose alot of money.

tl;dr: they should have stayed in their niche market because they where dominating.

Isn't that the point of a commercial? To sell a product?

As said, I don't see how this would make white women/straight haired people more interested in the brand and just pissed off loyal customers. If their goal was to create a diverse commercial to attract women of other races, why couldn't they track down actresses with naturally curly hair…that would actually work well with their products?

Yes thank you you understood it. A boycott only works if the MAJORITY of consumers join the boycott. Unless you can get the white girls who are now buying shea moisture to stop buying shea moisture until they either change the formula back or make a separate line for white girl hair, a boycott will not work.

It'd be better to spend that energy trying to change it by making your own shit. It's not that difficult it just takes work, time, and research.

The best way to change things is to be part of the change.

How many women with straighter hair are even buying Shea Moisture at all? I was just in the shampoo aisle yesterday and all the women besides me were looking at the big mainstream brands, Pantene, Garnier Fructis, etc. Considering that a lot of SM products where I live are like $11 for 10-13floz, if you don't need to be picky with your hair products why would you consider that over a $7 for 20floz or whatever for those big value bottles of Pantene? So yes a boycott only works if the majority engages, but that's assuming black women/women with curly hair aren't the primary consumers right now.

All that said, I'm checking out their products on their site they DO have separate lines for "all hair types", "fine to medium hair", "wavy to curly hair", "curly to coily hair, and "straight, fine hair". So it is unclear if changing the formula means making it work less well on type 4 hair or as a cost cutting measure. My suspicion is they've downgraded the popular Coconut & Hibiscus line to work mostly for type 3 hair (it's labeled "wavy, curly"), and women with type 4 hair are reclassified as "curly to coily", but idk for sure.

Anyway, I have a question for anons itt. Does anyone use henna on their hair? I've wanted to use it, but I've also heard it can mess up moisture retention and as someone with high porosity hair, that is a huge issue. Any thoughts?

Also thinking about a lace front/360 enclosure, buuuut the money, though. And I've never had one before, so I'm not even sure what I'm supposed to do. Any experience or knowledge on those, 360 esp? I don't ever hear any downsides, everyone is beaming about them when I look up videos or forum posts…

Just like how keratin treatments were all the rage a few years back and now I don't see many women mention it at all.

w2c? The synth bundles, I mean.
And I don't really have goals. My hair has always been about mid back length curly/coily (I'm 4cish, but it looks more 4a if I keep it moisturized), a good bit longer straightened (but who has time for that?) until a salon cut off 8in because she thought dry hair was damaged (??? first and last time at a salon for me). Now I'm growing it back out and I find that shorter hair was more convenient for styling, but it also gave me less options for wearing it out/wash-and-gos (because, as you say, length gives you "hang" and it lengthens the curls). I told myself I'd start taking care of my hair at one point and seriously working on growing it out and stop washing it once every other week and only water and oil rinses, but I'm too lazy for real products and it seems to work for me really well.

I was thinking that, too. I don't think it's actually high porosity, but it does absorb moisture extremely fast and gets dry faster than it should, so it probably is.

My hair is around the 2b/c range, so it needs some products to keep the frizz at bay. This weighs down my hair alot, so hennaing it once in 2 weeks gives it life and shine.
Doing it more than that will just dry it out so much that conditioning won't even help.
Something I've heard from my grandmother is adding a tablespoon of coconut oil will reduce the drying effect. Maybe you should try that?

>girls with loose curls struggle with the same shit you do.

I don't think this is true. There's a pretty obvious disadvantage to having hair so coiled and coarse that it doesn't have an obvious curl pattern cause it just tangles into itself.

To be honest, life would be a lot easier if my hair had actual, loose curls. My mom didn't want to deal with my nappy, coiled hair when I was a toddler, so she relaxed it and it left me with two large bald spots that I cant hide until it's long enough to manipulate into hairstyles mimicking a looser curl pattern now that I'm trying to go natural because my hair in its natural state won't reach a length that would mask it due to curlier hair showing less length

That and curlier hair is typically drier and more prone to damage due to dryness because the oils from your scalp won't travel down the hair shaft, so that's another challenge of having doily 4c hair as opposed to loose curls

I mean, not saying you don't have any problems with yours, but it's really not the same as having 4c hair

No. 63995

I'm african and my mom relaxed my hair since grade school (funnily enough before that i got bullied for having natural hair by none other than other black girls). Then in 11th grade I went natural until the end of my freshman year of college, and it was really hard to deal with or do anything with. My hair would shrink to the point of matting like a rug no matter what I did with it or stretching it out. Went back to relaxing after that. I usually get braids so it's no big deal anyway, I don't mind straightening my hair since I don't do it often.

No. 64108

I have 4c hair but it's pretty soft and def has an obvious curl pattern. It didn't have one until I learned how to take care of it properly, though, so I guess you just have to find what does it for you. After experimenting for a while, it's soft and bouncy! I just embrace the shrinkage as a characteristic of my hair. Chasing a looser curl pattern rather than figuring out your own will only end in disappointment.

I've noticed (personally, in my rl exchanges), that it seems that women with the most trouble with their natural 4 hair just don't know how to do their hair and since they've had straight hair all their lives and don't understand that it's simply a different kind of work. Your hair should not be getting tangled too badly after only a few hours/day. My hair detangles after running it through the shower if I'm taking care to keep it healthy and hydrated, so maybe your hair isn't getting the right kind of protection? Maybe try letting the sebum get to the ends of your hair?

I'm not disagreeing, but so many people treat 4c hair like its the worst possible thing when it's manageable as long as you treat it like it should be, not treating it like your permed hair or just following everyone else's formula.

recently started to go natural this past July/August and my hair has gotten quite lengthy since the big chop. i haven't been natural some the 5th grade and I'm now a sophomore in college.

anyway i don't remember my afro being this thick nor this curly. i have coils of curls?! they're ringlets and they're plopped randomly in my hair, while some areas are frizzy I think. i don't know how to do my hair texture number letter thing, but I will try to describe the texture with them anyway lol. the coils look like mixtures of 3a/3b/3c, and the non curly hairs look like type 6 in pic related. an hour ago I noticed that my hairline was peeling (dandruff), i think it's mad dry, which is odd because I've seriously been struggling to wash my hair due to how thick the roots are. i washed my hair multiple times in the shower and it just seems like the product build up is never-ending!! fuck , my scalp is struggling to breathe but I can't seem to get all the product off! it itches so much. please save my scalp. ah and I didn't have this problem until I moved. it's not even hot here so idk what could've changed.

I'm white and my parents are as well, but my great great grandfather was black. But if it weren't for my hair, I look 99.9% white. Blonde and blue eyed, and really pale.

It makes me hate my hair so much because people expect me to have straight hair based upon how I look. And they think that I have damaged hair, when in reality its just kinky 4c hair.

People question my ethnicity. I get rude comments how I should straighten it (which now I do. before I always wore lots of braids), how i should just shave it all off. That its poofy. I'd kill just to have looser curls like the OP pic. It'd be somewhat more easier to style instead of coils that frizz up. It always feels like I have 300 pounds of hair on my head. and it gets matted so easily. I have to keep it straight unless I want to spend a long time on moisturizing natural hair care, which is too time consuming for me, and the outcome is not worth it since I hate the look of poofy, short hair.

Its such a relief to straighten it and my scalp can actually breathe. I don't look good with short hair, or an afro. I hate when my new growth starts showing and people tell me I should get dreadlocks, that its time for a touchup, etc. My Dad always wore his hair short and tex-laxed, easy for him. I keep my hair long but the upkeep of relaxers is so tiresome, expensive. and the transition from new growth to my next touch up is always time consuming to keep up with. I probably will get backlash for my opinion, but I hate this type of hair, and I've learned to just live with it to the best of my ability.

The only positive side is I won't ever go bald. (even with relaxers, I still seem to have so much hair), and never gray, since the generations before me didn't. And if I ever want loose curls or beach waves, my hair will of course hold curls in all day without a problem.

at first i decided to have extensions to help grow my hair but then when i started attending university I started wearing wigs. people kept on thinking it was my real hair and I have been wearing wigs a lot since then (while keeping my hair in plaits underneath).

gonna get flack here but thoughts on the idea of 4c hair being a myth / temporary dry state of african hair? i had a 4c texture all my life but i finally worked out how to properly moisture and detangle my hair and now it looks more wavy/curly and hangs instead of sticking up. if it were possible to purposefully dry out my hair enough again i would like to still be able to style an afro from time to time (i prefer the way certain styles look with it) but the curls clumping together has made managing my hair so much easier since it doesn’t tangle or dry out as easily. it doesn’t seem worth losing the health and growth (went from back-length stretched out to mid-thigh!)

There is some validity to that claim. Cause I know so many people who just have badly taken care of 4a/4b hair and you see this a lot in natural hair influencer spaces where they try to pass off 4b as 4c and it's annoying to people looking for genuine 4c hair advice. Also people trying to pass off 4a/4b hair as just 4c hair with a wash and go kek

I'm a white girl reading this thread because I have curly hair and was curious. I hate it when you ask to touch my hair (and you probably are asking to touch black girl's hair too). Please act normal about it.

4C is not a myth. I have 4C and I want black people to stop fucking gaslighting 4c women that are hair isn’t in 5C/6C because it’s always just so fucking dry and kinky and coily. That’s the one thing I hate about being black and it makes me seethe seeing other black women with nice, softer pliable hair textures because it’s so fucking hard trying to style it, idc how much these natural hair enthusiasts try to convince us that it isn’t hard to upkeep and maintain with a modern western lifestyle. It pisses me off so fucking much, tired of 4A and 4Bs pretending their hair is 4C and shitting up the tags with their own hair that they damn well know isn’t the “bad” hair.

I’m not convinced it only applies to certain ‘4c’ hair though, because in my experience (and in some anecdotes) my hair was completely indistinguishable from any other 4c. so what would be the distinction? if everything is the same i think it would be odd to assume they’re any different.

i have the time so i’ll spout my theory. i’ve put an autistic amount of effort and research into my hair because of how much trouble it was giving me and came to the following conclusions: 1, all moisturised and detangled hair, 4c or otherwise, naturally inclines to clumping waves/curls together; 2, the curlier the individual follicle the more moisture it needs to hold itself into clumps; and 3, curlier hair types are dryer because less hair clumps means less moisture retained.

basically what i found is that the more progress i made with my hair the more follicles bunched together and followed the same direction. it ended up progressing from typically 4c to reminiscent of 4a/4b to curl bunches the size associated with type 2/3 hair (but the curl shape looks different, more random meandering and coils upward at the tips, sort of water-like). picrel is not my photo but looks exactly the same as how my 4c hair looked when i first noticed the curls clumping after a veryyy long couple of hours trying to wash a hair mask out.

i’m simply convinced people are too busy putting money into wigs and extensions etc to experiment with research around our natural hair. current hair science is geared to caucasian hair types, from shampoos to conditioners - we don’t have the luxury of products scientists have literally researched to work for us, i would even argue this for ‘black hair products’ (like greases, they seal out moisture that just isn’t in the follicle). as a result all we have are anecdotes when there could be concrete science on this matter, especially since it seems so disputed.

saw the last reply so disclaimer - while i think locking moisture into hair is probably beneficial long term i don’t consider either ‘good’ or ‘bad’ hair. i dislike when people get trigger-happy over this topic regardless of what you say, and as i said i prefer ‘4c’ texture for certain styles. but this is my experience and, once i shared what i’ve done with my hair to friends and family who also have 4c hair, the same has occurred for them. even if you believe i somehow had 4a/b beforehand, i doubt every single one of those others did, and regardless - my hair now looks closer to type 2/3 now anyway, not 4a/b.

I have super thick and dense, 4c (or maybe 4b. Or maybe a mix of both, idk) hair and it's always been super difficult for me to manage. Haircare has always been a confusing and mystifying topic for me. I've shaved it off multiple times out of frustration and insecurity from other other people judging my hair. The most recent being only a few months ago, so I'm currently in a phase of wearing lace wigs. Once my hair grows out a bit more though, I want to dedicate more time and effort into understanding my hair. Stuff like moisturizing, keeping it healthy, styling, retaining length etc…
