my hair journey - I didn’t know my hair was curly / wavy

[@taylaios]

If you guys would watch the video before commenting, you could see I used the term “wavy” throughout the entire video. I personally think my hair is a mixture of mostly wavy and a few curly pieces! And for the title, I used “curly” because it is a broader term and wavy hair is still a curl pattern. 😊 thank you to those who have actually had something nice to say/sharing their own experience! I made this video so people can embrace their natural hair and take care of it differently, whether it be wavy, curly, or both. *other curly / wavy videos:* including my hair routine and what products I use!! kzbin.info/aero/PLd6It5U5PkZoUnO3dymLSW32abVa8UXSd

Taylor Laios I hate how butthurt people get because of a damn word, it’s ridiculous

[@Marina-xd7gp]

People are so toxic. We can clearly see what your hair looks like from the thumbnail. If it doesn't help them they can choose to not click on it.

[@1cakesz]

Nessa Drake I get where you’re coming from. But instead of getting defensive maybe you can try to understand why people get “butthurt” over this certain word? There is a much deeper meaning behind it than you may be aware. Not trying to start anything but wanted to point it out in case you were interested because I think I understand the underlying message you’re saying. Anyways, her hair is gorgeous and thank you for sharing the video!

[@Kris_Si2]

1cakesz lol girl, it’s not that deep. People out here literally looking for a reason to be offended. And my hair is natural and curly, my blood pressure didn’t go up cause this girl with wavy hair said curly 🤣

[@milekmalik8368]

Posted this already under another comment: I can explain to you guys (and Taylor) why these people want others to use correct terms for their hair. People with really curly or coily hair usually go through years of severe bullying by peers and sadly also family members/ care takers and teachers. We are pressured to straighten our hair and constantly reminded that we are less beautiful. I have become a victim of even physical attacks simply because of my curly hair. Media (especially films and ADS) always presents natural curly hair as ugly, frizzy and problematic while fake curls (so models with straight hair or wavy hair who were styled to have fake curls) are presented as beautiful. Even in relationships curl shaming is a real thing (my ex mentally and verbally abused me everyday over my curls reminding me how ugly natural curls are). This is something curly and coily girls go through a lot while people who fake their curls or who have straight/wavy hair do not go through all of this. At least not in that extend. Now when someone who does not have curly hair calls their hair curly it represend the media and our natural curly hair is directly compared to the "more beautiful" wavy/fake curly hair of others. It is dismissing our problems. All hair is beautiful but natural curls are not treated as such. Your wavy hair is beautiful and stunning, you can be proudly name it wavy. Wavy is not less or more beautiful than curly hair. Another comparisation: it is completely ok to draw fake freckles on your face! Just do not call them natural freckles. Do not lie, just label it as it is.

🙄 people are really trying it. Her hair is definitely curly/wavy. The straight hair era hit us all pretty hard lol. When I want my hair straight I pop on a wig now. I found out I have 3b/3C hair which is now past my shoulder blades. It took a lot of care and trims to get it to where it is. I used to get relaxers and ugh...my hair was so bad. So glad to see everyone taking better care of their crowns.

[@_bewitchedbyyaz]

Amaris Belghiti I was forced to get relaxers until I was like 16. I’m 22 now and realized when I truly stopped using heat and dying it my hair is 4A. When I was natural but still dyed it and flat ironed often I thought my hair was 3B. I still get pushed to straighten my crown. Nope 🙅‍♀️

[@Rosedamenace]

Its not a negative comments to say someone hair is wavy, correct. But when you’ve been struggling with your hair for years and you’ve finally come to that point where your comfortable with your hair and how it looks naturally, it definitely hits home when people are sitting there with so many opinions on something thats not even on their head. Her hair is curly she has a combinations of textures. But no its not about being “sensitive”. Theres always been a huge divide between straight and textured hair, even when you’re in the textured hair community theres a divide about what curl patterns are the best ect.... when for years curly hair has been looked at as something that always needs to be “tamed” or put up to be seen as “put together” or even “professional” , there are much deeper roots to this then what u guys are just observing through a camera. In reality hair really means nothing but to our society it’s pivotal. PS: yo I’m mad late I didn’t even know this got a response eeeek🤣

[@chocolatebubbles6426]

How can y’all get offended over HAIR?? Is there some sort of competition for who’s hair is the curliest? She shouldn’t be afraid to call her hair curly!! Please support her instead of tearing her down!!

[@urmom.97]

I agree she has curly hair but it's not the curliest I dont see why people are so mad that she calls her hair curly when it is. Yall should be mad at people who take your hair type and let people compliment their perm when another curly heads hair isnt appreciated.

[@nadia-sr8bs]

Briana Morales You’re not stating facts lmao. Curly hair is not just one traditional ringlet. It’s on a “spectrum,” and 2a-2c is wavy hair and 3a-3c is the traditional ringlet we see and 4a-4c is kinky/coily hair. But they’re all CURLY hair, waves are the loosest curls and the ringlets are just tighter, and the coils are hella mf tight. You guys are complaining and telling this girl what her hair is. It’s her hair and it’s clearly curly, to be more SPECIFIC, she has wavy hair which is in the sub-unit of curly. Just leave her alone, it’s just hair.

[@NaomiTCOOKIES]

I totally relate with the straight hairpocalypse period. Everyone around me had naturally silky straight hair while mine was a bushy mess. I used to get bullied for it and get asked if I even brush my hair (which I would do and make it worse). I begged my mom for a flat iron so I could conform to the straight hair beauty standard, but now I regret using it and damaging my hair. Now everyone including the same classmates who bullied me for my messy curls are curling their hair 🙄

[@sparksfly6149]

Same here. I straightened my hair for a full year. I would brush it out. I showered nearly every day. I had completely forgotten I had curly hair, which is stupid because as a kid, I had curly 3b hair. Then I realised that I’m an idiot!

[@NaomiTCOOKIES]

@@sparksfly6149 Have you tried the curly girl method thing to restore your curls? I've just started a month ago.

[@sparksfly6149]

Naomi I have, sort of. I don’t invest in too many curly girl products, but I do have some good, silicon-sulphate free highly moisturising conditioner and some curly hair gel. I follow some of the curly girl rules as well. I’m just a little lazy. I’m assuming you’re following a stricter schedule than me, so how’s your hair going? Probably better than my uneven 2b-3c hair lol

[@NaomiTCOOKIES]

@@sparksfly6149 For now I'm following the CGM strictly as a guideline before I fully figure out what my hair needs specifically. My hair is really damaged from heat/chemicals but so far it's been going pretty good; got nice waves and some ringlets but the results are a lil different each time. I've got 2b/2c and currently trying to transition to full 2c. I hope to get back my 3a curls and plan to give myself a year to see how far I can transition. I totally get what you mean by feeling lazy though. And it makes sense not investing in too many products because the work is tedious and pricey.

[@sparksfly6149]

Naomi That’s a pretty smart idea. Find what works for you. Yeah, my hair was pretty damaged too. Even now it’s definitely not completely healthy. I straightened it, dry-brushed it, did everything you’re not supposed to. It’s nice to hear that your hair is going well then. 2b-2c is definitely a good start, keep going. A year sounds like a good amount of time to wait for your hair to become a bit healthier. Have you considered cutting it? And yeah products are so expensive, it’s not even funny. So right now, my routine is 1. Shower, shampoo + conditioner 2. Scrunch with a bit of conditioner, and then gel 3. Let dry, scrunch every now and then.

True for me lol. I always had straight hair down to my waist growing up, always brushed it when it was wet then went to bed. Senior year of high school I decided to do a big chop and cut off over a foot of hair (to just above my shoulders). After showering and letting it air dry without brushing it, I woke up the next day with crazy frizzy and curly hair (probably about as curly as this vid, but very thin fine hair). My hair never holds a curl when I use a curling iron so I was hella confused! I’ve switched to sulfate free shampoo and such and have started using some oils and gels to help keep my frizz under control and I’m so happy with my curls now 3 years later.

Most black women I've encountered have been super encouraging and helpful!! I'm so appreciative. I'm grateful that KZbin has a community of curly girls now! I always felt like the only white girl who struggled with "bad" hair, and now at almost 30 I'm learning how to do my hair for the first time😳. My baby is 9 months old and I can already tell she's gonna be curly! I'm excited to be able to teach her what I've learned, and to love her curls😍

[@Xristosanestii]

Yeah like a lot. Like people wanna bounce the spirals and you get called a sheep, a poodle, etc That’s why boys with curly hair shave lightly and girls straighten. It has to do with ur personality like a lot of people embrace it and have a pride in it. But if u are shy or awkward u will be made fun of by jerks or bullies.

[@serenar8772]

I’m Puerto Rican but my race is white. I have really curly hair though and I’ve never really known what to do with it. I’ve always been jealous of girls with straight hair because it just seems so easy to manage.

[@bente1695]

Diamond Lincoln girl I would literally spend HOURS brushing my wet hair straight, then using heat to get it to stay straight, I even took my flat iron to school sometimes if I didn’t tie it up to hide the frizzy mess😭

[@chelseaozanic92]

I think MOST girls wanted their hair to be super straight in middle/high school... at least that’s how it was when I was still in school haha. (I went to 16 different schools because we moved every year, sometimes multiple times in a year). Seriously, almost every single girl in my yearbooks had long, straight hair. 😂 Now that I’m older, I’ll be 28 in October, I want my curly hair back! 😩 I’ve been dyeing and styling my hair with straighteners and curling irons since I was 12-13. I’m glad I found this video!

[@laurenhylander9085]

wavy, curly, coily, kinky- all makes for 2,3,4 type curl patterns. They’re all still classified as curly hair:) also, her hair most definitely has a curl pattern- it’s not just straight with bends- her curl pattern just happens to be looser (and beautiful!)

[@laurenhuq]

So are you saying that all hair that is not straight is curly?

[@MORBmb]

Lauren she literally said wavy, curly, coily and kinky those are types of curls. So yes kinda? But she isn’t wrong.

[@laurenhuq]

Racheal.m Banjoko I understand what your saying but I’m just confused as to how wavy hair is curly. I’m not tryna be rude. I’m just asking. I get that it’s a pattern of hair but doesn’t wavy fall under its own category and not curly?

[@jillianjacques4190]

Lauren no, wavy hair is a degree of curl. Curly is an umbrella term. Personally I think wavy not curly starts at waves you’d see in sleek pin straight type hair, the kind you get from braiding said hair texture, some girls have that braided wave look naturally but that’s just the only way I can describe the waved. There’s a stark difference between braid waves and this girls hair texture.

Wavy is most definitely a curl type. The same way tighter or more “uniform” curly,coily, and kinky haired individuals appreciated seeing videos that they can recognize themselves in, others with similar experiences to Taylor’s appreciate her telling her story!!

[@juliaarnold1078]

I don’t think people realise that curly is a synonym for wavy. People commenting on your video saying “your hair is actually wavy, not curly” would be like commenting on a video of someone with type 4 hair and saying “your hair is actually kinky, not curly”....

[@nonkululekotembo1652]

Wavy hair has an S type pattern and is normally almost straight looking. Curly hair has a spring like pattern. Kinky hair has a tighter curl, it's normally categorised as 'Type 4' hair. Saying her hair is not curly isn't a bad thing. It's BEAUTIFUL. Saying someone's hair is kinky also isn't a bad thing. But there is a difference between curly and wavy

[@hate9486]

It’s not a synonym but ok. Curly is tight or quite loose ringlets. Wavy is just a S pattern.

I have 4c hair. I know it's kinky, not curly. Her hair is wavy, not curly. They're not synonymous. You're wrong but okay

Finally, I realized that if I didn’t brush it, scrunched it, and used really lightweight and moisturizing products my hair would be smooth and curly. Unfourtunetly I dyed my hair last year which ruined my curl pattern so I had to cut it to my shoulders. It’s getting there...

Beauty standards since we are young no matter what ethnicity broadcast that sraight long hair is idolized. Media also widely portrays that with lack of representation for differences. Most people are guilty of generalization thinking curls and or waves only happen for people that look a certain way. Society brainwashes and shames those who begin to embrace their hair. Their comes a time when you begin to love yourself and better yourself for who you are and not attempt to assimilate to the norm and are still judged and scrutinized. For instance those blatantly trying to prove her wrong in this video or twisting her words. I think her embracing her curl pattern is beautiful it goes to show that she is embracing who she is without conforming. Her curls represent confidence and self love.

That's EXACTLY how I felt for the longest. Now I finally found out how to take care on my naturally curly hair...glad I found someone with the same curl pattern as me :)

My 13yr old babygirl has beautiful natural curls. She gets fustrated because one side is very less curly. I'm glad you mentioned the brushing, I have constantly and constantly told her NOT to brush hair, to use the big comb for curly hair & also when hair was beyond the most natural beautiful curliest was when she didnt even brush it nor comb it. She also desires straight hair, but I told her to embrace her natural beautiful hair& i also mentioned to her that most of us gals just want the opposite of what we have, lol! I have straight fine boring hair, curls don't last on my hair more than past 15mins, even perm dont stay after 2weeks, and hairspray wont even hold my hair... but I have learned a few tricks here and there to give some volume naturally. I luuuv natural curly hair♡ but I have learned all of us gals have our own hair beauty& just have to figure out the right touches to naturally bring out that beauty shine out🥰💖 your hair is so beautiful & amazing, luv your volume& curls💖💖💖🌺🍃

Ahh! Finally someone with my wavy/curly type! We have a similar journey too!

Your features pop sooooooo much more with darker hair!!! Love the dark way more than the blonde highlights!

[@Amorazula]

y’all are literally putting so much effort into deciding wether she has “curly” or “wavy” like sis -.- let her be 😂 regardless it LOOKS GOODT. those are most definitely, curls. idk who looks at that and says *oh wow! look at your waves today they look so pretty* because it’s not ringlets? it’s not considered curls? what the fuck 😂

[@Toppdash]

Curls are curls, waves are waves. Theres a reason why they are 2 different words. Nothing wrong with wavy hair, it's just misleading for the curly girls coming to this video expecting to see somebody with their hairtype.

[@Amorazula]

Sone Foreva I get what you mean but based off her thumbnail you would see the *type* of curl she is referring too so it wouldn’t be misleading. at the end of the day her hair does curl. these are curls. look up waves and curls and she is considered to have curly hair, it doesn’t have to be “ringlets” “tight curls” “curls at the roots” etc to be considered a curl. now we have a bunch of girls with her hair type hesitant to call their hair curly because someone on the internets going to tell them it’s not curly. the logic i see down this video is compelling af.

@@Amorazula the definiton of curl is: noun 1. something in the shape of a spiral or coil, especially a lock of hair. "her blonde hair was a mass of tangled curls" So yeah no, its not curly because those aren't spirals or coils. If it's not a spiral or coil it's not a curl. Even if is not that misleading, people will start being confused about their hairtype if we keep spreading misinformation like this. I don't get why people get so defensive either when we explain that their hair is wavy and not curly, like curls are not superior to waves or anything. If anyone is hesitant about their hairtype then just look up the hair type chart and defintions and thats it. It's not like anoyone is suffering because their hair is wavy and not curly, it's not that dramatic lol.

[@Amorazula]

Sone Foreva wavy is still considered from the curl family though... as a 2B diagram would show. it seems odd for people to get so meticulous on a curl or wave. she isn’t misleading anyone. when she put both “curl and wave” because everyone clearly has their own opinion on her hair. no ones being dramatic lol except for the people knit picking her hair. when she’s just explaining her personal hair journey story.

[@Toppdash]

@@Amorazula Where did you get that information from? A curl is a spiral. If it's not then it's not a curl or from some "curl family" that literally makes no sense, sorry. It's not a species, it's literally a hair shape and texture. Look at the defintion of curl. If it is anything besides the defintion then it is not that. You can't just listen to what some curl blogger tells you and look at that as a fact. Her hair is clearly wavy and not going into spiral so yeah it is misleading to put "curly" in the title since her hair is not that, even if she added in "wavy". The people "knit picking" are just saying facts it's not an attack in anyway.
