I just want to say that i LOVE how protective we are against anyone shaming her hair. We must make this a thing a cover each other as natural black women. Also , my first curl just springs from what’s barely an Afro lol. That’s what led me here. ❤️👑

[@evelyndorman5301]

Ok finally a how to video with someone who actually had 4c hair, although if there is a 4d category, that would be me. I am seriously considering the big chop after we come out if quarantine. Time to relax relaxers.

[@alexandriac.6815]

I just did it on Wednesday after not relaxing it since the end of April. Once there was like 2 inches of new growth, I felt brave. Ordered these "kinky" clip ins for when I want a different look. Be diligent on the maintenance, and whatever decision you make, own it! Happy Summer!

[@khucks8362]

@@alexandriac.6815 I let my hairdresser big chop on September 17 after having my last perm on January 30 and then the quarantine started March 13. Many days I have looked in the mirror and said, "Girl, you better own it!" I am happy about my decision (most days :-) )

I love the actual natural STYLE❣ 1 week into my natural journey and i am so excited to see so many tutorial like this one. But you actually did not add a ton of different products to show your curls. This is one look that is clean and neat that i could do easily. THANK YOU SO MUCH💯✊🏾

I like this style for my new mini fro. You are literally one of the only people I have seen with 4C (no definitive curl pattern, type hair). THANK YOU!!!!

[@stepheq7964]

I swear this is how my hair is like a bloody sponge. The hair is always difficult to comb because the end are always tangled. Till now I don't understand my curl pattern all I know is my hair is like a spring and I have tight curls 😫😩

[@nicolescott1354]

I’m a little confused. Isn’t her as a black person naturally curly

[@amtindley]

This does work better with some water in your hair. Adding a dollop of mielle curling custard gives ultimate definition. That product defines my hair best and i am a severe 4c extra kinky

[@bealoved6550]

So look glad to finally start 👀 4c sista do video as well, (not to separate us by textures) I'm used to way more wavy A's and B's showing us how its done, I'm like😶😡" yeah her hair was already wet n wavy, were is the kinky curls at! Great job representing💌🎆🙏👌

[@lisaraye5679]

Evan Imatlantis1 thank u and there’ll be more videos soon on how to style and care

[@mariaalers6108]

I have used this brand of gel, and have found that occasionally the thickness of this product varies from jar to jar!!! not sure why! but when I find that any product is to thick for distributing through my hair, I place it in a pot of warm-hot water and let it sit! It helps distribute product, and does not flake or become too stiff in my hair! never used the "coconut styler gel"

[@bettybae9687]

this just made me sooooo happy bc we have very similar, basically the same hair texture and i think this is gonna help me out a lot ☺️✊🏾 so thank you 🙏🏾

[@ggoodvibes23]

Which brand of curl activator? I would prefer anything but gel throughout my hair, that sticky residue is not for me. I like stay so soft and care free curl activators but looking for something with a better scent....thanks

Really? I've got to try that.

[@aanuaderibigbe7224]

For those who don't know the product its Eco styler coconut mix

[@aliciajames5910]

Why don't you use the edge control to get mud definition in your curls would that work? I have been trying to go natural myself but I haven't found that edge control that keeps my edges down I have very coarse hair.

[@laurab4833]

Mix the two gels together in a pot put 3/4 of the other eco gel and 1/4 of the coconut one and also after gel go back and spray some water then your hair will lay and then the curl will be more defined.

[@katasue2633]

New subbie! Girrrll I NEED YOUR music playlist in my lifr frfr...especially while TRYING to do my hair bc this natural thing is all new to me. Glad u said something about the white residue goes away as it dries bc I definitely thought I did SOMETHING OR EVERYTHING WRONG when I noticed it at first lol thanks and I appreciate you

[@henriettamorgan1173]

I use that same gel.. you should have scoop up a good about on your fingers n comb it through you hair with your fingers... if your hair is wet it won't work... when showering don't get it wet,and it will kepps for one whole week.. wish I could send you a pic of my hair.

[@kitkatpoetess]

We have the exact same hair type and this method looks amazing. I've never seen anyone do this before. I'll have to try it. I just hope it turns out this good because this is too cute!

[@candacedease1308]

I have been natural for about 7 months...and I have 4c hair... and one thing I truly learned is that what may works for someone else.. does not always for you...and Gel is one of them... my hair absolutely hates it...it becomes dry and brittle no matter how much I moisturize and condition it... it simply does not like it... so I have to use oil based products... and nothing too heavy... and works for me...this is a cute style.. I just know using gel alone...this wouldn’t work for me...thanks for the video.

Do more water girl, drown your hair in water. More water better turn out

You should try cantu custard. It'll bring your natural curls out. Basically a wash and go. But loved the look and Technic so I'll be trying it.

I think you should try Hawaiian silky and then that gel and see if that helps lay it down better because I'm 4C and I use Hawaiian silky on my hair my hair loves glycerin I think all of our 4C hair love glycerin and moisture

[@alnikajames465]

I am 4c too and my hair look just like that

[@SierrasInterlude]

I think this method might work for me because literally nothing else does 😩. I cut my hair like 2 days ago & im starting my natural journey ❤️

[@alicer1391]

Sierra Stephens Me too meeee too!😊. I have 4c and cut my long locs down to a TWA about 2 weeks ago. Gonna try this method to see if it works. I only wish i felt safe to go to beauty shop, cause I need help with shaping my ‘Corona cut’ and evening it out. Will keep working it though, as I am loving my newfound freedom and short hair!

[@SierrasInterlude]

Alice R It actually did work for me !!!! I found a barber that was doing house calls and he got me right so hopefully you can find someone safe!

[@jennj.9975]

Try s curl gel activator. I have the same texture as yours and I swear by that product. Eco styler usually dries my hair out and flakes bad.

[@lisaraye5679]

Jenn J. Thank u I’ll definitely try that

[@lisapierce737]

Jenn J. What kind of gel activator do you use?

[@takeitorleaveit304]

Your hair needed to alot more wet for the gel to do the job n work how u wanted

takeitorleaveit304 Montana it was pretty wet just wasn’t like dripping, I literally just came out the shower before I started recording

[@maryamsy8995]

she needs a curl activator

[@JosephineMcKinley]

I was thinking the same thing. The hair needed to be wetter.

[@llonfolosakko2488]

I really like them, the ones that say they don't see curls is because they aren't 4c. obviously i will do it on my wash day

[@allombard615]

I think that you’re very pretty, but I don’t see any curls.

[@MI-vn4tp]

I saw curls...

Fun fact!! An afro is made of curls.

[@bonnieblanco2840]

Well its cuz she has 4c hair

[@melaninqueen6767]

I see curls

[@tirapatstew1355]

You should part your hair in very small pieces and then apply the gel. You will see a better curl definition that way.

[@katmc3833]

Hey thanks for this! Just wondering how long this style lasts you? If it doesn’t last long do you do this every morning?

[@shelleyb.3130]

Love your hair! Thank you for the detailed explanation of how you created this 4c hairstyle. I tried it and it worked. My curls are more defined and moisturized. I am satisfied with my hairstyle. I really appreciate your advice and suggestions.

[@queenangel1797]

I recently chopped as well and gel seems to be the only thing that works for me. (Not a fan of it ) We have the same hair texture but I’m not that thick. Hopefully you’ll find another alternative so I can try it as well lol.

[@lisaraye5679]

Trying to find something else too not a fan of the crunch....I got yawl

[@josetteveasley6872]

My hair is the same texture and thickness and I use curl activator and kinky curly curling custard. I retain moisture and the curl for several days with that and my hair is silky soft.

[@momtingz9447]

You have thick hair JUST LIKE MINE ❤ I’ve been keeping it short because it’s easier to manage. I miss two strand twisting so I’m trying to grow it back out, my hair is about the same length maybe a tad bit longer. Thick hair is HARD to do, and sis you slayed this 👏🏽❤️ Im the same with ALL eco gel, I like it for curl definition but ugh too many products don’t go with it. I have to mix my products with that gel and I mean I doesn’t matter which it is. I always check if it’ll mix smooth or make my product turn to white little balls 😑I have a love dislike relationship with eco style gel. Murray’s Edgewax works amazing as well for edges!!

[@vlbrown5789]

Your hair is nice and thick, but also naturally curly with big coils. Have you tried the shingle method or even different products that work better with your big fat curls?

You needed to wet your hair first. It looked dry when you were adding the gel. You wouldn’t have had to use so much.

I have her exact texture. I don't think it's "breaking". My ends curl really aggressively around my ends and it sheds alot. When my hair grew out longer I had less shedding, it stretched better. That hair needs to be stretched first

What's the name of the second styling gel?

[@tonicarpenter4126]

Took too much effort and struggle. Will not be using this Eco coconut gel.

[@lishajhohnay]

The reason why you’re experiencing a lot of breakage is because you’re manipulating you hair too much while styling. If you’re going to do that much brushing, your hair should be wet and saturated with a conditioner or leave-in.
