Mistakes I Made Texturizing My 4C Natural Hair

No. She sounds like Essence Atkins!!!!!!!!!

Yup! "Essence Atkins" lol!

[@Xtowdavis3772]

Lol just thinking that

[@valeriewilson3298]

silk elements from Sally's is the only texturizer that's perfect. leaves so much texture and of course leave hair not straight and do one side for 8 minutes total and wash out then other side same thing. perfect results!!! can't texturize entire head at one time. make sure to put some type of grease..lol..on the texturized hair when you do touch ups to avoid over processing. ;) good luck

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

+Valerie Wilson Great tips! Thanks you for sharing. I'm sure you just helped someone big time. ❤️

[@iamlorrainev8614]

Can you still blow dry your hair and come out with good texturized results if you blow dry your hair with this product only because like her I’m not really sure what my hair texture is (I’m assuming 4c) but my curls are tight Nd shrinkage is real .so it’ll be kind of hard applying it evenly to my natural curl pattern

[@daniellenash6434]

Would you say this is the same for 3c/4a hair?

[@jcchrist7343]

Valerie Wilson you are absolutely right about silk elements. That is the best texturizer and the only one that won’t straighten ur hair. I used it for years and I messed up when I change to another one. I am all natural again but bout to do another silk elements.

[@0nly.bhadbby40]

What about linage textutizer

[@rvlogger7024]

I too have 4c hair, and I find that this hair type thrives either fully straight or fully natural, the in between that a texturizer offers, leads to breakage. Another lesson I learned is that because the hair is so tightly coiled, it takes way too much heat to straighten it, n that amount of heat kills the strand with every pass... It's been a minute but I think I've finally mastered my natural hair... Great video, stay blessed ma!

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

+rhonda vlogger oh those are great discoveries! My hair NEVERTHELESS gets bone straight when it's fully natural. The very first time I flat ironed and it poofed up 10 min later, I knew. Lol! #thestruggle Thanks for sharing!

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

+rhonda vlogger I meant my hair NEVER* gets straight. Lol

[@brencarr3629]

LaToya Ebony When I flat iron my natural hair it is straightened but then poofs within a few minutes. Did you you figure out how to avoid that and keep it straight? If so, please share that information with me. I need help.

[@queenditty2783]

@@brencarr3629maybe try doing something to lower the porosity of your hair maybe. I realized that it's pointless for me to do a blow out for that very reason.

[@brencarr3629]

Oh lord I nearly texturised my hair last month 🤦🏽‍♀️. 4c hair is making me give up.

[@lauren-9460]

I just got my hair texturized yesterday with 4c hair--

[@ChichiOkorie]

Honestly my own is going to deliver tomorrow! I give up 😭

[@JwanDeFleur]

4c is amazing the only reason it seems “hard” for u is because u want/force it to be something it’s not

[@ChichiOkorie]

@@JwanDeFleur im not sure the type of hair you have hun but when people are complaining about their hair type, you need to be quite! type of hair is different from others and maybe you have strong strands and they are easy for you to manage, I have fine core strands that are very full and very fragile and is low porosity at the same time, so shot up you have no idea.

[@melindalavender5974]

My mother just texturized her hair last week. She couldn't take the dryness of the 4c hair.

[@yinkae1447]

There truly is no easy way. Everything requires maintenance. That is something I've learned along my journey as well.

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

+Yinka E So true 🙌🏾

[@moreafterthistime]

Yup! That’s just Black hair

[@ItsKeneisha]

I like your outlook at the end. Change is inevitable. Sometimes I change my hair believing it’s going to be “my look” only to want to change it I’m 3-4 months. I’ve been natural, did the chop, grew it out, texturized, had a braid phase, wig phase, you name it. My 4c hair is a challenge, my texturizes hair is a challenge...I’m just going with what I feel at this point. Right now I’m texturized again (for the second time in my adult life) as of April.

[@Kia5968-d2x]

In my personal experience the ISO Maintamer texturizer is the bomb ive used it for 3 yrs now n I texturize once a year in the summertime when the humidity is at its worst this product has allowed my hair to grow and it helps my low porosity hair to retain moisture ive had positive outcomes onmy hair journey and I wish the best for all you ladies out there on your hair journey

[@elenafouiti1578]

I also have low porosity 4c hair ! What is your hair regimen for texturized hair ? I want to texturize it but I want a good regimen to take care of it

[@Ps.CompleteWonderer]

I have 4a,b,c mixed hair type and used a soft 'n free scurl texturiser. The mistake I made was under processing my mid-ends. I do suggest sectioning stretched hair into five parts, two in the front and back and one on the top centre. Do not start at the front of your hair, it will go straight if you are slow in applying. Start where the hair is the most curly, for me it is the top of my head. Apply your coconut oil to your end! and keep within the 7-8min time frame. My curls are still very prominent, but I no longer have the shrinkage issue.

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

+Deidré Kok Aaahhh, those are great tips! I do t think I applied enough oil to my hair. It def a learning curve. Those are great tips!!

[@m3laaa]

i just texturized my hair and my roots are straight but my ends are still curly so i'm not sure if it's damaged because i want to go natural

[@Ps.CompleteWonderer]

stephxo Hiya! It sounds as if you processed it for too long for your hair. Did you do a patch test first? This was a process I only tried this one time years ago. I prefer a Brazilian home treatment, as the one I use washes out and i stretch it to once every six months. Try deep conditioning your hair in a few days and use steam to reactivate your root curls. Good luck 🤞

[@KingChameleonsEye]

Sorry watching an old video 😝💃🏽 and you kinda remind me of Tia Maury 🤔 sista sister

Never go to a so called "Professional"! Do it yourself! They will perm you! Just take your time and don't leave it in long.

[@Blkbeautee]

I texturized my 4c hair a yr ago. Well, now I have cut my hair down to the natural growth. I suggest strand test every 3-4 inches because my texture is different all over just like you Jouley Less than 5 min on my head and now its as if I did a big chop. Never will I texturize again.

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

+Blkbeautee That's a great tip!!

[@liseagnant4161]

Girl I smoothed my hair too, huge mistake indeed 😤 But I am loving my texturized hair, I have 4c hair like you and it just makes my life easier. I have 4 kids ,so I wash, air dry, use the straightening brush , bun everyday and I am good for 2 weeks

[@lucky7149]

what does she mean by not smoothing!

[@brattychik917]

+lucky not combing the product through on your hair just using an applicator brush...I believe

[@ceelluwilliams3767]

Hey! I have 4c hair I guess...more like 5c but it's not on the hair chart lol. I've been getting a texturizer now for about 3 years now. I retouch around every 6 months. I get it done professionally. Something that we have to do is to actually wet it before she puts it in so that it is manageable enough to actually get through my head in a timely manner so that she doesn't spend time just trying to get through my very thick coarse hair. Being wet makes it manageable enough so that she doesn't overlap as well. That's the biggest tip that helps me. Wet it first especially when retouching. This is only if you have very coarse hair of course. There's no way my natural hair can be combed or easily managed dry.

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

+Ceellu Williams Oh wow! I've never heard of anyone using water, just oil. That's very very interesting. Thanks for sharing!

[@nancy-jx4nw]

does the texturizer give you defined curls when wet and dry?

[@sydneylett4197]

Ceellu Williams do you think you could do a salon video of it or give the name and city of the shop i need help i want to texturize my coarse hair

[@pennyproud6757]

Quick question why would you even comb any type of natural hair dry ? I have 4b-4c and my comb glides through when damp . You can’t comb natural hair dry 😂

[@tallywithme]

Texturised girl here! No regrets. 4c very coily hair is NO JOKE. Edit: it is still very much behaving like supernatural hair & I still care for it as such. It’s growing better too 😍😎

Which one did you use

[@feliciawashington1350]

I did mine today and love it.

[@carylbrowngirl5148]

I just texturized my hair this morning and I'm so glad I did. Right now I'm waiting for this braidout to dry but I know I made the right choice. I was tired of the shrinkage.

[@JennJackson]

This video is so helpful! I used the same hair "softener" and basically made most of the mistakes you made lol. What other products would you have used? We live and we learn! x

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

+Jenn J. I've read some about "natural relaxers" and read that using an actual relaxer (underprocessed) helps your hair from getting dried out because it doesn't leave the drying deposits hair "softeners" do. Also some people have recommended keratin treatments or Brazilian blowouts, but I've seen major heat damage from people using them. Also people that recommend them usually don't have my hair type. Hope this is a good starting point for you. Sorry you're going through this *sigh* yes, we live and we learn

[@kellyfortune1]

Jenn J. Same thing happened to me..two years of growing natural went down the drain😢

[@leiamccampbell9238]

LaToya Codner Please take Brazilian blowout off your list. I've done it over a year now and I'm still suffering from heat damage. I wouldn't do it again even if I was getting it done for free. I wish someone had warned me but the hairstylist told me all the things I wanted to hear and I fell for it

[@jackies35]

You are right! I am tired of braids, wigs, weaves, and my natural hair. I love my natural hair and all the protective styles. BUT at the end of the day, we have work to do. Nothing lasts forever. I am thinking of putting in the texturizer and seeing what happens. Second, if I don't like it, I will cut my hair and start over with short pixie texturized styles and then let it grow out (back to the natural state). Thank you for sharing!

[@taneshane86]

I just texturized my 4c hair yesterday with soft and beautiful no lye texturizer.. I did it on dirty hair tht i took down from a faux loc style i had in for like 2 months so it was already stretched and defined. I worked each section startin with the most coarse and smoothed and detangled until the buzzer went off. I kept it in for 15 mins total and baaaby i love the results my hair is still in its same state just easier to detangle, its elongated and the curls gurl the curls jus poppin all over the place! I say try a no lye texturizer as they tend to be milder than the kiddie kits

[@foxyfables_bookish]

Thanks. I’m dealing with breakage due to overlapping. Wish I would’ve done my research beforehand

[@rosemarypierre4353]

I'm so glad I saw your video. I just wanted to relax the curl in my 4c hair. I won't use a texturizer. I'll just blow dry my hair occasionally. I wear a very short gray afro.

[@Ebizzill]

i forgot to wash my hair for a month... took me 8 months to recover from that... then AFTER I started seeing progress from that.. .I experienced some MAJOR tangles, and instead of finger detangling...... I raked my comb through it and lost 16 percent in the process. It's been 6 months since I've been doing finger detangling and it's been helping me tremendously. I've only used a comb to comb out my ends for trimming, but when it comes down to it, now adays I'm even parting with my hands to get styles.

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

+Ebizzill Wow, I can't believe that happened. But then again, combs can be really harmful. I fluctuate back and forth between finger detangling and combs. I think I'll make a better effort to do it more because of your story. Thanks for sharing!

[@ZumbawithDorothy]

I don’t want straight hair just want to be able to comb without screaming. I am going to put it in real fast and wash it out.

[@alwaysdanielle929]

Did it work?

[@plightoftheblackwoman6835]

Perhaps if they came out with texturizers that are made for different hair types that would help. But most of the women I see on YTube that have used the texturizers regretted it. So I am debating whether I will try it or not.

[@user-zx5xw4yw2e]

They regretted it because they applied it wrong. They're listening to folk on KZbin n other places that do not know what they're talking about. Even licensed stylist apply it wrong ALL the time. ( I think they know better but do not wanna take the time and tedious work to do it properly cuz they're all about getting u in and out n gtg that $$$$$).

[@sassytee0722]

Thx. I'm seriously thinking of texturizing. My hair is so thick and time consuming. Glad I watched because I was going to blow my hair out. Your hair is gorgeous. Thxs again.

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

+RochSolid I'm glad I could help!

[@dziedzormd]

Thank you so much for this video, been watching a lot of videos on texturizing hair yours included because I have really been thinking about it. I got the kit 360 blow out by Lustre, did a strand test and still sitting on it. lol like you said there's no easy way out. Dealing with my coily always tangled hair especially at the roots is very challenging and terrorizing in general but at the same time I love my hair. Still thinking of going ahead with texturizing it or still staying in this super coily tangly struggle. lol. Thanks again. Really helpful!!!

[@Newchapter-ui2gr]

This was a great reminder. I haven't texturized or relaxed my hair since 2006. lol

[@emdottie813]

That stretched out tip is great. I was afraid my hair would end up straight looking at other girls' vids and pics. Going to get a test patch done by my stylist today. My hair is in a wash and go currently. Thanks so much.

Just use perm rods gurl its easier natural gives ur 4c what u want

[@tomekia]

Hi lady!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for your videos. I'm 2 years into being natural and my daughter is 3 years in. I'm definitely 4c and I DC and do protein treatments between my protective styles. My daughter has a really relaxed pattern (thanks to her dad's Gene's).... on the other hand 🤦🏾 my son has A LOT of hair(4c : thanks to me) and chooses to only taper his sides. Ohhhh it's a struggle!! After watching your videos I think we will incorporate more protein treatments and DC after every wash!!!!! Thanks for being so informative! I was all set to texturize his hair this weekend!!!! I'm going to try try different regimens before we go to the texturizer!!

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

+tomekia slade Hey 👋🏾 Welcome love! I don't use protein treatments on my natural hair. It makes it hard and unmanageable. I use moisturizers to soften it. But if you find the protein works, keep using it. My hair is already thick and relatively strong without it. It was very helpful when I texturize down my hair though :)

[@cassiemichelle03]

With the 'there is no easy way' that is the TRUTH honestly. I'm texlaxed and it's still difficult maintaining, it just has different difficulties versus natural hair. It's so frustrating because when I realized that there is no easy way with our afro hair I just got really frustrated..still am quite frustrated. I think natural hair is BEAUTIFUL but I don't want to go back to it because I just don't have the time to maintain it. But also with working with chemicals I never put it so it touches my scalp because I'm scared it will effect how my hair grows and so I start off a fresh texlax with some new growth and then the two textures collide and i get occasional mats and it's just..all overwhelming.

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

+cassiemichelle03 YES GIRL!! I feel your pain. Chemicals suck, but so does spending hours on our hair. No easy way at all. I decided to transition back to natural because it was the less of two evils and ultimately healthier. Up keeping texturizers was something I thought I could do, but it made me too nervous. And I am definitely paying for it with this transition lol! If you're down, maybe try transitioning for 6 months and see how you feel? At that point you can keep going, big chop, or texturize again. If it sounds like a good idea, keep it braided up a while to help with the process-just to keep your mind off your hair while you decide. Braiding my hair under wigs helped me tremendously.

[@cassiemichelle03]

LaToya Codner Haha! Well I actually only texlax twice a year so I guess technically I have already 'transitioned for 6 months'. I never wear my hair curly and down, if I wear it curly it's in a pony or a bun - I always just flat iron it which is why I stretch for so long because it doesn't make a huge difference, until wash day when I have to detangle the new growth. I basically just texlax so the blowdry/flat iron process is faster. I've actually been leaning towards wigs, thanks for the tip!

[@davidperrii]

I'm not planning to texturize my hair lol but I still learned a lot from your video!

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

+David Perry That's awesome, thanks!

[@aisha-3857]

It worked best for me when it was in its natural state, bc it just signed my texture. AND YES WORK QUICK! one side of my hair is a bit looser in the back on one side than on the other

[@melisalewis7463]

Aisha Delva did u do it on clean washed hair or after a braid out ?

[@trinnasultrabeautybraids9157]

Sorry to have had that experience. As a stylist we make sure we let clients know doing a consultation what to expect. All texturizer will dry hair out over time it doesn't add moisture. That's why it has moisturizer you have to purchase separately.. It's imperative that you keep it treated... Oil, reconstructor and conditioning. You should only use wide tooth comb and not use it like a relaxer. Texturizers should only be in no more than 5-15 minutes at the longest and never smooth it out unless you're actually are going straight. You should see the s pattern.

[@blessinganako9361]

Hi dear, what type of moisturizer, oil and conditioner should I use? is it a leave-in conditioner and moisturizer?

[@sevenaka7]

Everyone I've talked to says texturing works for awhile then they big chop. I'm in the process of doing my research and the more I research the more I think it's better to relax bone straight or stay natural- no texlax. I've heard good things about the ORS relaxer and the Phytospecific. Thoughts or Any recommendations anyone? Thanks

[@KneeGrowDoingKneeGrowThings]

How about taking a shower a couple hours before texturizing, so the hair is softer and makes even application in a timely manner easier.? I too have 4c hair and its impossible to get a comb or pick through my dry hair

[@twoelleeden1094]

Mine is like this too and you're right. Humidity softens it up...

[@TGRAM7]

My hair mistake was using a tiny curling iron while transitioning. I wore a wash n go but because I was transitioning some pieces were still straight and needed to be cut off. Your girl here could not let go of the length/damage so I used the tiny curling iron to make the straight bits blend better. Ugh. Eventually I got a Deva cut and I'm all good now. Ya live and ya learn, right?! 😊

[@Ashleyunfiltered]

I use just for me but I love my results 😭❤️🙏🏾

[@panaricanprincess846]

I’m Afro latina with a slightly looser curl 3c/4a and my trick for defined curls is I do a mask first with bentonite clay to get my curls to pop then I rinse it off and dab it dry but only a little because I want it to be slightly damp then immediately after I put some oils on my scalp and edges and then I apply the texturized. My curls stay moisturize and don’t feel stripped or after and the curl stays coiled but loose. ☺️ works for me anyway ❤️

[@vanityfair001]

@La Toya Codner, your explanation was very thorough and extremely helpful. Thank you.

[@MamaEzi]

What is the best texturizer in your opinion? Gorgeous hair!

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

+MamaEzi I've only ever used one. I'd say just do some research and text on small sections at the nape of your neck. It's hard to know how your hair will react without actually doing it. Maybe try a texturized and try underprocessing a relaxer...tbh I would go to a trusted professional.

I cut my locks off n wanted to jist weat my regular hair n stupid me agreed to let the hair dresser put chemical in it. Now its dry n breaks cant wait for it to just come off. I will not put anymore chemicals in my hair.......

[@indriadrayton1132]

Thank you. No creamy crack lite for me!!!!

[@thatgirldivan5036]

If you relaxed your hair and you are transitioning can you texturize your hair?

[@lovenmunchkins1999]

Did you have to cut your hair off? I went natural for 2 years I got a weave and permed my leave out and been putting a lot of heat toy hair I really don't want to cut it but I know it won't grow healthy

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

You don’t have to, but I did!

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

Have you made any hair mistakes? Share them with us and how you fixed it (if you did)!

[@jessicabrooks6713]

If you textlax your hair once will you have to keep doing it ?

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

Yes. Or your roots will grow out and the different textures may break your hair off. If you don’t texturize again, you are considered “transitioning” back to natural.

[@shortbossofficial3399]

Can a texturized hair convert back to natrual

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

Unfortunately, no.

[@shortbossofficial3399]

Unfortunately your wrong

[@shortbossofficial3399]

Because i been texturizer my hair from i was at high school and i stop at about 20 now am 23 and my hair is pritty much the same it once was aka natrul

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

LOL! Why ask a question you think you know the answer to? When hair is chemically texturized it breaks down the bonds of the hair, altering it forever. The only way to get the original texture back is to grow it out and cut off the texturized ends. Based on what you wrote, you stopped texturing your hair and for three years your original texture has grown out. I encourage you to research what happens to the strands of the hair when a person gets a texturizer or relaxer.

+Alicia McGee Thanks for watching! ❤️

[@lexie02jones25]

you are so prettty and you look exactly like tia Mawry :)

[@digthewarmth]

Texturizers seem like they never really work long-term. Just use it once to have loose curls, then basically cut your hair off lol. It seems like a nightmare to prevent demarcation lines, and the curls never turn out how people want. Should people just texturize while wearing little flexi rods? and you just use the same rods every time?

[@kayw5562]

I totally screwed up just for me knocked all my curls out! I have to chop! Sadly, I watched this too late.

[@pocahontas4583]

That before pic looks more like 4b to me

[@carmenjackson3214]

XD when I first opened the video, I was greeted with the previous video's girl, and her face was TWITCHING to ur voice XD

[@musthavesbodyworksinc.]

i want to texture my hair so bad my curls are sp tight i just keep cutting it off and i want it to grow so bad

[@cheryljackson196]

Just for me is the worst. I used it to texturize my daughter hair it ruined it. I texturized her before and it was beautiful but the product I used was no longer on the market. But will never ever use just for me again.

[@itslaurenbxtch]

Omg I did the same thing!!! Did you cut off all her hair?? I don’t want to cut mine again 😫

[@LXRDXNOfficial]

shouldve used aloe vera plants to make your damaged hair turn back curly

[@gettingthere007]

Essence Atkins

[@mellgoldson4357]

Section all your hair first so you don’t have to section while applying the product

[@mgm333]

You remind me of Kim Reese from A Different World. Lol 🤣

[@erikascott1260]

The only thing missing from this video is storm clouds and the sounds of Doom.... I watch this video to hopefully get inspired and now I'm tempted to get my money back... #NappyLivesMatter

[@isabellebetancourt1932]

[@moreafterthistime]

[@tracystarks1669]

She looks and sound like Essence Atkins

[@selfloveandfun5039]

Is she an actress

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

Yes I am 🤗

[@JwanDeFleur]

@@LaToyaEbonyHair in what movie? I wanna see it

[@d.nichole4753]

Oh lord. Why would you texturize your hair just to straighten it?! 🤦‍♀️

[@LaToyaEbonyHair]

I thought the same thing myself. 😂 It definitely wasn’t on purpose lol

[@taneshane86]

I just texturized my 4c hair yesterday with soft and beautiful no lye texturizer.. I did it on dirty hair tht i took down from a faux loc style i had in for like 2 months so it was already stretched and defined. I worked each section startin with the most coarse and smoothed and detangled until the buzzer went off. I kept it in for 15 mins total and baaaby😍i love the results my hair is still in its same state just easier to detangle, its elongated and the curls gurl the curls jus poppin all over the place! I say try a no lye texturizer as they tend to be milder than the kiddie kits

[@eprahs1]

p.s. leave chemicals alone. ☺
