I’m so glad that this video was done it shows ethnic people that you can take care of your hair independently that it is possible!!!

[@musicislife7282]

You are so right! All thru the pandemic people saying ethnic hair textures are so hard to manage and salons needed to be open etc. NO. YOU CAN MANAGE YOUR OWN HAIR.

[@BA-dt7mq]

Ethnic people?

[@ziergiest]

@@BA-dt7mq - Idk if you noticed but....All of the guys featured in this video are POC (people of color).

[@driveby9536]

That’s dumb asf you can be white with curls too loool

[@ziergiest]

@@driveby9536 - Ok...But white hair and black hair are completely different. We have multiple grades of texture, depth, and each requires a different level of care (as this video clearly highlighted). And while I can't sit here and say anything about how white hair works, I know that as a black man with a natural hair, there's a lot that I have to do with my hair that a white person doesn't. Do white men have to water their hair every night and wear a satin lined cap when they sleep to keep moisture locked in? Do white men have to oil their hair, apply leave in conditioners, and be sure to use the right shampoo for their particular grade? I'm not saying that they don't, but I am saying that we do.

[@russianigkadude]

This is way better than those ppl who post random videos in their bathrooms about how to get curly hair. He's a professional and actually knows what he's doing and how to do it!

[@miguelharris5242]

I’m a 3C and this video really hit the nail on the head… informative, especially when he said co~wash throughout the week!!! Another good shampoo / line is Texture ID.. it’s moisturizing and won’t strip your hair completely and the conditioner has multiple uses..

[@nathanjcabrera]

Finally there are videos for curly hair and textured thick curly hair! There's variety in the curly gang! But after watching this video I feel like my hair is in between the first two models...I never see anyone with my hair 😭 but I've learned to take care of them!

[@ashantimaluleke2267]

Are the products they advertising the normal amount someone should be spending on hair products? Each of them selling like $30-50 each and I'm not sure whether I should get them or not since I ain't really put too much time or money into hair products before. Also what should the hair routine look like on the days when I'm not shampooing?

[@arlowesley]

this is awesome! You should do a video on hair cutting techniques for these hair types. I feel like most "barbers" don't know how to actually cut hair styles for tighter textures. they give us the same 2/3 shapes and options, when there are in reality a lot of ways to cut tight her to enhance shape, style and aesthetic.

[@bearemysmom]

@@paopassan6061 possibly a good leave in conditioner could be a great start. Keeps curls moisturized and leave in conditioner wouldn’t be too matte or too shiny. I wouldn’t dry curly hair with a regular towel. It would be better with an old clean T-shirt. And whatever you do DONT BRUSH IT. Use a wide tooth comb

[@corysanon7084]

As far as Blake, I think a happy medium between the before and after would look better, maybe a little more towards the after. The before was most certainly frizzy, but the after made his hair look like it never completely dried. I do understand the difficulty, as I have a similar hair type--though it's not as thick on the top anymore.
