4C Hair is TOO DIFFICULT to Manage!

[@ladyBloom.]

I know the topic is hair, but I need to talk about the whole look. Those vintage tops with the hair and earrings is everything. Do it young sisters❣️

[@LydiaAndAlma]

Aww thank you so much! ❣️

[@RachelD077]

it’s really notttt that difficult. it can be a challenging process to learn your hair and what products you hair like but once you know that!!! you’re set 👏🏾👏🏾 i recently tried that no oils/butter situation and my hair suffered for it. moral of the story- stick to what you know you hair likes!!!

[@LydiaAndAlma]

This is sooooo true! Once we worked out what our hair liked it became so easy to manage and care for. So glad you found yours! 🥳

[@Mayousse]

There is nothing more beautiful than an afro. Stands out. Now I'm tempted to untwist mine. 🌷

[@LydiaAndAlma]

Its beautiful when we can love and wear our hair out unapologetically!

[@HeavyontheChai]

4C is not easy, but it's worth it. My 4C hair is very temperamental (weather-sensitive, too), but I wouldn't change her. Your fros are LIFE 🙌 I LOVE MY FRO 💯

[@LydiaAndAlma]

agreed! So glad you're showing your fro LOVE

[@Timetrae]

No it’s not difficult to manage but it takes a lot of time and energy for sure!! That I don’t always have!

[@LydiaAndAlma]

This is true! Make sure you subscribe as we will be showing time/energy hacks for this

[@trying0580]

It becomes difficult if you don’t know what you doing but if you do it’s not. You just have to have alot of patience cause 4C hair is like a baby.

[@nicolesteward3370]

It's not too difficult but it's incredibly time consuming. I was spending 4 hours/day detangling my hair in the evening

[@LydiaAndAlma]

it is time consuming! 4 hours is a lot, we have found ways to cut that time in half. What do you use when detangling product/comb wise?

[@nicolesteward3370]

@@LydiaAndAlma I was using a wide tooth comb and I had tried probably 15 to 20 detanglers and conditioners over the 11 years I was a loose natural.

[@motivationwords498]

So glad you both are back.

[@NinthJewel]

I love my natural hair it’s 4C/4B HOWEVER, I hate the knots and tangles I get . I can’t even part my hair with a rat tail comb when protective styling . It’s horrible!

[@LydiaAndAlma]

The knots have never been fun! We will make a video on how to manage the knots

[@lorenzaii]

Hey there. Just wanted to rat tail combs are not for our hair. I would say start with a wide tooth comb then use a rat tail one for presicion

[@blessingobute]

Thanks y’all for the video I get that alot to.😐💞❣️

These two remind me of my sister and I I’ve been avoiding her lately to figure out how we can stop fighting 🤣

[@Dr.Sharron]

Remember relaxers with chemical causes Bk women to have fibroid. I had a partial hysterectomy. I thank God it was only partial. I stopped using relaxers after that. Please consider wearing a silky press for a while. You can also wear braids or straight hair weave tracks or a wig to give your hair a vacation. My hair has been on vacation for 2 years now. 😆😆😆 My 4C texture changed from moisturizing and putting oil on it. It was a habitual routine for me. I love my 4C hair. It is the most beautiful hair there is on this planet. Yah knew what He was doing when he created us. Our hair gravitates to the sun. We were called earth people and sun people in the ancient days. Our hair loves the sun. Keep beautifying and adorning your crown, beautiful girls. Shalom. 🥰🥰🥰

[@LydiaAndAlma]

Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad you love your hair and found a routine that works. Our hair is divine indeed. Much love 💜

[@RayniDayze]

ion care what nobody say. it is difficult. really wish I had a looser pattern.

[@LydiaAndAlma]

thats okay to feel that way. Just now you have a choice to continue feeling that way or learn to work with what you have. You hair is still beautiful :)

[@iammysistersmirror]

Beautiful ladies.... How did you accomplish the look of your fros in this video?

[@LydiaAndAlma]

@@LydiaAndAlma Thank you, yes please make a tutorial. 😊

[@daphnemagela9461]

I struggle with knots😭😭feel like just cutting all of it off. Plus my hair is healthy, I think. But it looks so see through in the sun

[@Mothirtytwo]

It’s must be fine my hair is see through in the sun and it’s high porosity, which is prone to tangles but rice water and aloe Vera help x

[@daphnemagela9461]

@@Mothirtytwo thanks😘

[@wilfredadortonbaileyiii2622]

You need to trim your hair not like a major tournament but a dusting. That is why it is for me knots . When you feel it start to not up again do another dusting trim!!!!!

[@desteddyeggroll]

I struggle with making clean parts in my hair!!!

[@LydiaAndAlma]

Is this when your hair is stretched ? wet or dry? let us know and we will help you

[@desteddyeggroll]

@@LydiaAndAlma Ah! This is when it is damp and shrunken.... thats probably why...

[@trying0580]

Lol 😀 look at the afro sistas 😎💞

[@StudentNurseMomFiance]

Heyyyy my sweet cousins 🥰🥰 you guys look amazing! I love you guys. It’s DeeDee

[@nicole_sangweni]

I've had friends relax they hair because of Afro being difficult but mostly they say its painful I guess since I'm South African our hair is more thick and rough if I can put it that way😅 but I also think because we dont really know HOW to manage it

[@janessah.1800]

Every time my 4c hair reach a certain length it breaks off. Makes me feel like the same routine I was doing to get it to grow doesn’t work anymore. It doesn’t stay moisturized. I need help☹️

[@hummingbird4335]

Try trimming the ends. It could be splitting from split ends. As for retaining moisture, after you've washed your hair in water or sprayed/sprinkled some water on it, seal/lock that water in with an oil and/or a butter/cream. It's called LOC or LCO (liquid, cream, oil).

[@TwilaB0721]

I did a big chop. My 4c hair is growing very fast and getting tangles. What should I do?

[@LydiaAndAlma]

CONGRATULATIONS! You just need to keep it moist and detangled so it can grow freely. Should we make a video on this?

[@star0138]

Lol y’all are funny 😄

[@auntiez4917]

Do you guys use henna at all?

[@marshaminor4914]

I need some help with detangling and keeping my 4c hair moisturized. Lydia and Alma please help with tips

[@LydiaAndAlma]

Hello we will make video for this dont worry!

[@anshaaisha2477]

[@LydiaAndAlma]

Haha we love this!

[@LA-tg7lt]

Why a fine? Lol Chemicals aren’t the healthiest thing but we are all free to do as we wish fine free! thanks for sharing guys.🙏🏾

[@LydiaAndAlma]

We’re just messing sis 😊 everyone is free to do what they wish with their hair. Thanks for watching!

[@britneyhoward5793]

It's not difficult to manage, people are just too lazy to put the time in and actually learn their hair.

[@LydiaAndAlma]

this has been a factor for some, there's not always a quick fix. We are however lazy natural lol!

[@auntiez4917]

@@LydiaAndAlma You can be lazy naturals but you both still put in the time to learn your hair which is why it is long, strong, and beautiful. Once you learn you hair, you can be lazy. I believe this is what Britney is saying and I agree 😜

[@star0138]

Hey ladies I am late just coming into the chat room. Whats hayning … lol

[@hummingbird4335]

Lol, that certain lady had a rehearsed small talk routine planned for encounters with naturals & you ruined it for her 😆

[@konpeitosama]

Idk because I don't have 4c hair but I heard it is.

[@kerianal9456]

It’s really not but people don’t take the time to figure their hair out and what works or doesn’t work ... I have 4c hair that’s growing past collar bone length and it’s really not that hard ... clean , moisturize and braid up or twist and put away unless u wanna do a random style and repeat lol ... and oil scalp whenever u have time . Simplicity at its finest for me💁🏽‍♀️
