I've seen some older women complain that my hair is 4 people's hair but they don't tell the story of how they damaged their scalp and hair with crazy and painful styles from an early age. I'm always asked about the products I use, I use Xhc (don't know much about the brand, use it because it's cheap) and it's mostly a shampoo, after which I put my hair in regular sized twists for a month. I've avoided anything that will stress my scalp and damage my hair for 4 years. Now it's past my neck🎉. I have a cousin that has hair that makes people call her Indian, when we are together it's like a confirmation that we are mixed. However, she's really young and her mother uses trash products and relaxers on the hair, I only got to see the "foreign" curls when she was on a low cut because of secondary school rules. I'm going to advice her to protect her hair now that she's graduating next year, I have to get in there before her mother resumes 😅

Also, the amount of people who grow up straightening it...grass is always greener

[@Sharquitty]

All curls can last you just have to use the right products, if it’s still frizzy you need to use a stronger gel. Most people with 4c hair do not have a visible curl pattern so they need to use much stronger gel and it is a little harder to get defined curls but it is possible, you just need a lot of patience

[@necrotic9433]

@Sharquitty that's not the point im making. Personally, I don't like the stiffness of strong hold gel on my hair. Its absolutely fine to have a bit of frizz especially since I like volume. My hair define just fine but i don't wanna be worried if its absolutely perfect all the time. It feels like taming it(for me). Its curly and it gonna do curly hair things 😅 Naturalidade is the word

[@Sharquitty]

@@necrotic9433 I get what your saying but I also wasn’t challenging your point I was stating a fact. No one should feel the need to have there hair defined all the time, however sometimes it is necessary for proper hair hydration. You said that “I’m actually crying that some people think curly type 3 hair stays like that all the time” and yes, it’s true that every textured hair does end up getting frizzy. However type 3 hair does stay defined much longer and much easier USUALLY. Key word there. Even when type 3 hair gets frizzy you still have some slight visible curl pattern which does not happen on 4c hair. However 4c hair also does not have the same need to be defined to be moisturized. Also the ways peoples hair are treated in different cultures is obviously very different. The point I’m trying to make is that while yes, type 3 hair can get frizzy fast, type 4 more specifically 4c hair has a hard time getting it defined in the first place. And because of that people with 4c hair have a perception that there hair is nappy without realizing that different types of hair is equally as beautiful and there hair has different needs than type 4 hair.

I was never allowed to relax my hair as a kid. So I’ve been rocking 4c hair since birth. I’ve had ups and downs about it but, it really is amazing. We can do any hair style! Like, we can have pin straight hair one day and then next, an Afro that fluffs up like beautiful cloud. I hate seeing people crap on it when it’s one of our unique features as a people. People need to learn how to do it and be creative instead of advertising their self hatred. Long ago, outsiders told us as a group that our hair was bad and unkept. And that was intentional. We need to stop subscribing to the beauty standards of other groups and making ourselves miserable.

It's crazy how some people think we are limited because of our hair. 4c can literally do anything.

The real tea is, those wigs look absolutely ridiculous on BW. I'm baffled at how many BW have yet to realize that those straight, platinum blonde, rainbow, beach wave bussdowns look like party city costumes on our unique, afro centric phenotypes. They don't even suit us. No matter how laid, or slayed the bundles are, they all look disingenuous and ridiculous to me and I wish other BW would stop lying to them and telling them they look good when they don't.

I also have 4c hair nd someone have also told me that I should go put relaxer in my ,that my hair looks ugly, bushy nd rough that looks like spoungh nd I said to the person no matter what you say about 4c hair will make me relax my 4c hair cos I love my 4c hair so much::what I don’t understand is why people a batching on 4c hair; imagine no salonist wants to do my hair bcos of my texture 4chair nd nd this is so devastating I decided to start doing my hair by myself nd that av be doing for years know nd I love doing my hair with no body insulting me about my hair….❤❤

[@actuallyjuliee]

People are quite literally dvmb. A lot of 4c girls will have no choice but to learn to do their hair themselves because these stylists don't even bother learning how to. I do my hair 80% of the time because whenever I go out I have to treat my hair for months to recover.

[@Bonaturalhair]

@@actuallyjuliee you are very correct bcos people are leterally dump as for me i cut my hair myself bcos no salonist understand natural 4c hair ask a salonist to cut your hair …. They will cut a very long 4c hair to a very short hair bcos they cut more than you ask for nd leave your hair damaged beyond repair nd this is very devastating nd painful,nd the worst part of it this salonist they don’t even care about your 4c hair they are scissors happy….

It was actually never meant for us. The man who create it hatred tightly coiled hair 🤷🏾‍♀️ I don’t even type my hair anymore. Too many women scream and rant about what is or isn’t 4c, b, or a.

[@cebile1493]

I used to also not like my 4c hair when I was relaxed.....after cutting it I had to acknowledge that because in the beginning I used to follow women with looser hair textures 3b 3c 4a and think my hair could do that after deep conditioner and moisturing process I remember the day I stopped following those ladies and stopped liking their posts I then started following West African women and a few USA women and my algorithm was algorithming so beautifully on Instagram, Pinterest, KZbin and TikTok....I only then started to appreciate and love my hair then after I noticed a change in my hair density, length, shine and volume I did this before such conversations like yours were being discussed and I am so glad I did that because I would have never known the potential of my natural hair and people always stare at it and give compliments and I am not gonna lie I can't get enough of the compliments 😂❤.....mind you this is my view and my story and it doesn't apply to everyone

[@actuallyjuliee]

Yasss. My first advice for 4c girlies learning their hair is to follow more creators with their hair type. Of course you can follow people with different hair textures but if you're still in that delicate place of not liking/understanding your hair, you should affirm yourself by surrounding yourself with textures like yours.

I've been noticing how the other races wanna look Eurasian, and some of them are honest with it 😏😏, some aren't. 😐😐 Us on the other hand, a CERTAIN section of us at that, want to look Afro-Asiatic and we really have to be honest about it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The hair, as we know, is usually outsourced from Southeast Asia for one. ☝🏾☝🏾 For two, the makeup styles mimic the techniques of drag queens and Arab women which are usually exaggerated and dramatized to high heavens, like..... what's REALLY going on?? ╚(•⌂•)╝ Something must be in the water for real. Btw, I put ol girl and ol boy on mute (with subtitles on), because I can't have ignorant statements like theirs swim about in all three parts of my consciousness. ¯\_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯ Once AGAIN, it's one thing to feel negatively about your hair texture (which you should have a support system for, and possible therapy sessions), but to blast all the things you hate about it ONLINE, for all to see, instead of in a diary (like it was mentioned in that screenshot, just got to that part LOL) you could've gotten from the Dollar store to your fanciest Arts and Crafts shop is NUTSO.

your 4c hair leave out would match your bundles if you use the exact texture of your hair.

[@LethalLemonLime]

I mean some people do think something is wrong with our hair. I don't have 4c hair but my hair is type 4. I'm often asked questions about my hair by my students because they have never seen hair like mine. My students predominantly have bone straight hair (I live in Asia). A little girl asked me why my hair was like that and I said I was born like that. So I decided to ask her why her hair was like that and she said because her mom knew that this was the prettiest hair lmao. I got negged by a 2nd grader. Unprovoked. So it would be untrue to pretend that other people don't see our hair as not pretty or nice. I know for a fact they do, due to living here for almost a decade. However, I don't think that's an excuse for us to neg our own hair. Although I think if the majority of us wore our hair and normalized it, this would change.

Unfortunately, we tend to want what we don't have. My hair is 3c/4a and long, and I love 3b curls (my son has 3b curls and it's so easy to do and absorbs moisture so quick, 3b tends to be normal porosity). I've seen people be a little obsessed over 3c hair and trust me it's not easy to do. It tangles very easy, it's dry, breaks super easy and shrinks a lot. Wash days take a whole day! Now, I do love my hair especially once it's all styled, it's also a struggle just like 4a, 4b etc (my crown is 4a). Being frustrated with our hair once in a while is normal (I've been frustrated almost every week lol), but when that happens, I just watch videos of 3c/4a hair to motivate me and keep going... or simply do a ponytail etc. to take a break cause it's a lot of work. I try to only straighten it once a year, but when I'm extremely frustrated... I just straighten it until I miss my curls again 2 weeks later. It's a process, but no.. 3c/4a is not easy at all

Some black women do not realize that if they hydrate and take care of the curls properly it will match whatever wig they’re trying from water wave to 4c wigs. I have 4a hair I buy 4a wigs that are a longer than my real hair. My leave out matches because I take care of it. If I want it to look “ wet” it’s a 2 hour process in the morning even with the proper hair care I have. We need to start normalizing 3a-4c hair so women can love themselves.
