I am a 4A and my hair loves light serums and moisturizers, anything heavy weighs it down.

[@happyandblessed9753]

I have 3c, 4a, and 4b. I’m happy you explained 3c vs 4a. I’m not really sure if I have 4b in the back or 4a and possibly low porosity in the back. The front is definitely high porosity but when I moisturize the back it looks just like the front but it tends to be dryer in the back and looks more fro like. The front in some spots have a very loose curl, almost straight. The middle in definitely s curls but the back tends to go more fro like in a few days but the front maintains its curl pattern

[@jessicarosado3081]

I have the same three types of hair type as you! The back and top crown is a 4b and also dries out more and I have to def add more products plus do finger coiling to make it look defined. I’m learning more about my hair at the age of 46 😊

[@Tathy_Pikachu]

Good to mention that an individual can have 2 or more different textures on the head. I myself have 2C, 3A, and 3B at the same time. Love your videos and tips! 😊 (Just saw that you mentioned it in your type 3 video)

Uhm ew. Then you clearly have yourself to blame. Where do you think he got this knowledge from? I can find plenty on KZbin just alone showing they made videos well over 2 years ago. SMH. I learned about it 15 years ago as a young black child. Your lack of education on your races hair types doesn’t reflect the black community as a whole. Do better instead of trying to give credit to people who aren’t black. This knowledge has been around in the black community long before he ever started in the hair business. Shame on you. The only thing he should get credit for is properly educating himself on all types of hair before even thinking about touching them. Which is the bare minimum.

[@youen2]

Hi Mike! Happy to see your videos on the hair types. You made me realize that I've been classing myself as 4a but I really am 3c. I found you from your Kerastase videos and I purchased 3 products due to your videos. I must say I really am pleased with them as my hair feels amazing now. I got the curl manifesto mask, the discipline line's keratine thermique and the Elixir ultime oil. I do have a question for you though. Do you think I should buy more of the Discipline line for the days I choose to do a blow out and flat iron? I live in the Caribbean and just the thermique has done a good job with keeping my hair from reverting due to the humidity. It makes me wonder if I use the shampoo, mask, and conditioner if the results will last even longer. Would love your advice.

[@MikeDeCanter]

hey hey yes and no depending how often you flat iron your hair

[@thealisterr]

Tbh you probably have both curl patterns on your hair it’s quite common to have multiple different textures. 3c/4a gang 🤙🏾

[@JassminaVellucci]

My hair in its natural state, is a blend of different textures, it’s thick. My hair soaks everything up. Sometimes it was difficult to understand my hair. But I have learnt a lot about the textures of my hair.

[@Clearskies3848]

As a black person there’s a few things I want to say Our hair does in fact get oily, it actually can end up being far more oily than other hair types Our hair is very light and dense compared to other hair types so it tends to have more volume Our curls actually clump very very easy, all it takes is water, we actually can in fact go without products to achieve our curl patterns, the hair will just need to be combed only in the shower and not outside of it(use fingers to detangle and do not comb dry) EVERYONE with Curly hair has to consider whether they have low porosity or High porosity hair when thinking about how my hair hydration their hair needs and work to keep the hair’s PH levels in the desired range. Type 4A to 4C hair can be more stretchy and actually can be one of the most easy to take care of hair types if you know what your doing, remember to finger detangle in the shower only and do not comb dry, this hair type isn’t going to be hanging down your back we are not white people! If you are black go to a black hair care channel to actually learn about our hair. While this stylist can tell what hair types he’s looking at he clearly does not actually fully understand Our hair and that’s okay. And like I said before I cannot stress enough that Our hair does not need products to thrive and grow, stop treating your hair like you are white and it will be healthy and grow well

Great video but I'm still unsure of what my hair type is 😕 the hair around my hairline, nape & edges is very loose, soft, with clear curl patterns, that grows quickly - possibly 4a (?) but the hair growing from my crown is very dense, shrinks and is undefined... I don't know if it's 4b/c!?! it is genuinely cotton-like & puffs up, even with water/moisture...it still has low porosity & so different from the rest of my head
