[@flovonnejohnson707]

@@greymatters7039 yes curly hair is universal but there are different levels just like what was shown on the chart which is why this comment specifically mentioned 4c hair and not just curly hair in general(and different racial/ethnic genetics can cause different things to occur even if each person has curly hair. example being white people's scalps with natural curly hair produce a good amount of sebum aka natural moisture and the hair stays hydrated and healthy whereas black people's scalps don't produce alot of oils which is why the girl in the video mentions all the oils and Creams that have to be used to keep our hair healthy and why black people can't wash their hair too often or it'll become dried out,brittle and damaged) correction: it's not that we don't produce oils but rather that it doesn't travel throughout/down the hair . And it may be just hair to you but not everyone feels that way and not every culture feels that way. There are some cultures where hair is a big part of the culture and cultural practices. There are plenty of cultures where how you style Your hair and how you wear your hair is tied to ceremonial practices, religious beliefs and even status. You can both acknowledge that hair isn't a big deal to you and still understand and respect that its important and a big deal to someone else Native American people don't let people touch their hair because they believe that whatever that person is carrying will be transferred onto them and carried in the hair/braids.

Sis thank YOU. You said exactly everything that I have wanted to teach people about black hair, especially mentioning how they group every style into "reggae mori" (which can get pretty annoying haha). This video is amazing to clear up a lot of misinformation and to educate. Nice!

[@boboblueblue2]

I just want to add on to what he said at 2:53! A lot of black people have to learn to style their hair on their own because you can’t trust that a salon will know how to style your hair, so you have to learn to do it yourself. Of course there are some people who know how to style black hair but it’s not very common, and you have to seek stylists out on your own or through word of mouth. Also, natural curly hair can take a lot of maintenance and work, so if you were to go into a salon every time you needed to do your hair, it would get time consuming and expensive! This is why I think it’s super cool that she’s so open and willing to teach! And thanks to him for being willing to learn.

[@solarmoth4628]

I’m so terrible at styling my hair and getting carpal tunnel made it basically impossible so I had to cut it super short. I wish it was easier.

[@Lady9T]

Yup! Even some black hair salons don't always know how to properly take care of black hair. They'd know how to style it but not care for it. Like you'd get braids and they'd be so tight water or worse leaves your scalp and leave you with a headache and receding hair line or they'd straighten your hair and it look good for the moment but damage.

The problem is that black people got so used to thinking that their hair was "unmanageable" and to straightening it, that they just forgot how to take care of it. I used to spend less time on my hair after I stopped straightening it than before. I also used less products and saved a lot of money.

Curly hair is super versatile and can stay in hair styles for days when wrapped and taken care of. I’d also like to note wearing Afro styles and puff styles can be damaging to the ends if you do them a lot. That’s why we use protective styles (braids and hair wraps to protect our ends) and wrap up our hair at night when we go to bed. Love your videos, I’m glad you and the team are so curious about different hair types :)

[@liu-yanagi]

Thank you for the explanation!😊 I've always wondered why😅,

[@alzahrahabdullatiff9297]

now i know why it's called as protective style. another thing i always wonder, how long you can leave braid without washing it or it can be wash without untangle it? i always watching how people do braid on internet and seeing they use lot of products and gel to secure it, it makes me wonder if they didn't make product buildup and or smelly hair after leaving braids for long time. sorry for my ignorance. i am an asian so i am not exposed to black people.

[@awildandraginghoshiappeari1199]

@@alzahrahabdullatiff9297 Your question isn’t ignorant💕. We can leave our braids in for 3-4 months depending on the style and how long someone wants to leave their braids in. Most ppl when wearing braids we only put jam on the braids while getting it braided and then put mousse and oils on our hair afterword. Most ppl use Grease, jam, and oils. build up depends on how long you have your braids in now you can wash your hair with braids in but some ppl do not and prefer to just leave the hair alone to let it grow and do what it does and put oils in to help also keep their hair protected. Me personally I do not wash my hair with braids in just bc it takes hella long for braids to dry and I don’t have time but ever black person hair is different that’s why certain products work on some ppl and don’t on others for my hair I get healthier and longer hair when I don’t mess with it while it have braids in( I’m also natural.) Natural hair products honestly depends on you curly pattern and if you have low or high porosity hair as well. Sorry this is long💕💕.

@@alzahrahabdullatiff9297 personally i leave mine in for a month, but i don’t use gel and many products while i braid, and i wash my hair regularly while i have braids in, it all comes down to personal preference. and your question wasn’t ignorant no worries 😊

I love this video and all the positive comments! To someone's earlier point, this is a beautiful exchange of cultures! Also her Korean sounds amazing! I hope as I continue to learn I can be as proficient as her. Two things that I want to comment on as 4c thick hair person, knowing that this video is exposing people to kinky-coily hair who may have limited knowledge. We can all benefit from a professional trim at least once a year. With 4c hair it sometimes can be misleading the actual damage our hair is going through with styling, manipulation and detangling. The method she discussed is a good alternative when you cannot get to a professional stylist , but it's always good to have someone really look at our ends from front to back, either through shaping the hair in its natural state or through straightening the hair and then trimming. And when you encounter knots as she did don't rip the hair apart. As someone who use to do that, that technique can be very damaging. What we heard was the hair likely breaking or splitting. When I encounter knots like that rather than ripping the hair, a little water, a wide tooth comb and professional hair shears to remove the knot works well with less damage. Thank you Kiu and Merlia!

I’m a black woman and ik it can be stressful/anxiety inducing to let others do our natural hair (hence not going to the salon, cause of the fear of someone messing it up & having to do the extra work & possibly weeks to fix it) so I’m glad she was able to let them work on their hair & learn! More stylists need to learn how to do black hair so we can utilize services like everyone else & be able to treat ourselves & have someone who can have a 360 view & be attentive. For me (and ik other black naturals) we know the back of our hair is harder cause you can’t see as clearly, & even using mirrors is trouble & time consuming so you have to settle with it probably looking not as defined as the front!

What made me so happy as a black girl seeing this is that he handled her hair with so much care and gentleness I’m so used to ppl grabbing pulling and pinching and pull yanking my hair to stretch it and snapping it off in the process, he also didn’t pull or tug a lot when brushing which can lead to fallout and broken hair strands this was refreshing to watch ❤❤

Nothing to " judge". I am Asian with straight hair, 1C. We all have different hair and skin based on race, it is good to understand about others. Most Asians are just curious. If some hairdressers turn you away it's usually because they don't feel confident handling your hair type.

This video shows so much respect. Even being hairdressers, they let her talk about her hair and listen carefully even being the "experts" about hair. Having the initiative to learn about coily hair is very cool too! Most hairdressers i went to in my life didn't know how to style my hair, a 2c-3a, and just straightened it. I imagine how it's like for type 4 hair, it must be even harder to find the right person to cut and style it in the salon.

[@corycanoe6377]

Merlia did what so many of us type 4 hair girls who watch these videos have wanted to do but are too scared to do, because of how protective we are when it comes to our hair. We are greatful she took the leap. With the skill that he already has as a hair designer, once Kiu ssaem fully learns how to take care of, cut and style type 4 hair, especially bleaching and colouring it with as little damage as possible, every type 4 hair person in Korea would be booking with his salon.
