Natural and Textured Hairstyles for the Kibbe Types | Authentic by Frani

[@nikhefe16]

Great video! I wish more black women would use their platforms more to discuss how Kibbe could apply to black women. You are indeed a trailblazer! Unsurprisingly, Pinterest has a lot of helpful pins and boards that do include ideas for how Kibbe hair suggestions would look on black women. Personally, I've just decided to follow black celebrity FNs. Specifically Solange, because she fully understands her lines and what hair fits her which may be unbeknownst to her, aligns with Kibbe's standard.

[@franibeard]

Thank you! I love that! I'll have to scroll through pinterest and find a few.

[@ifetayodavidson-cade5613]

You might enjoy KZbinr Cocoa Styling. She discusses color in depth, which I love, as well as Kibbe types.

[@LP-ct4fo]

Solange is DC. She's very balanced.

[@Yo_moneee]

Reddit has been a great resource for African American hairstyles for the body types.❤️

[@franibeard]

Ooo good to know!

[@romyhols]

Hey can you please link that reddit

[@Yo_moneee]

@Marygraphy Hi! I am a soft gamine in kibble but I was body typed by Elyssa here on KZbin and she typed me as a Gamine with an undercurrent of Yin. With an essence of playful and inviting based off of a series of questions and conversation on zoom.

[@nfischer7854]

Great! So glad I found a woman of African decent talking about this

Thank you for this video! I’m a black woman who is a soft gamine that has natural hair. I hope this goes viral like the other Kibbe videos!

[@antiquebeast]

Same. My hair is in ear length small locs and they look so cute

[@unneighborlyarcades6356]

I feel the bob is so universal and can really fit all types, depending upon how it's styled. I guess that can be said for quite a lot of haircuts though. I've been more interested in hair representation since my little cousin was born. She's only 5 and already equates straight hair with "pretty hair". No one told her that. It just goes to show how a lack of representation can send the message that what is not represented is not desirable, if that makes sense. She also wants her hair rainbow-colored and with stars shaved into it, but that's not quite as worrisome.

[@franibeard]

It's amazing the unspoken messages we receive from such a young age. I remember feeling that way about my hair, especially because I got it straightened for the first time when I was about 6 years old. Very formative years for such a limiting message about what is/isn't beautiful.

[@unneighborlyarcades6356]

@@franibeard It's really upsetting and, as a white lady myself, difficult to know whether I am being part of the problem even if by complacency. It's really easy when you're part of a majority to not think about representation because it never affects you. I think that's probably why there is such a lack of information for non-white women in quite a few style systems and color theories. (I could go on a whole rant on seasonal color analyses.) Back before I knew of Kibbe and gamines, I chopped all my hair off because my little cousin (same girl, who I should clarify is black I suppose. I forget people can't read minds.) at the age of 1 and some change said she wanted hair like mine. Maybe that was an overreaction, but I didn't know how to communicate to her that all hair is beautiful at the time.

Does a dramatic classic belong to the dramatic category or the classic category?

[@fabell6]

Love this! I’m a soft natural. I love wearing twist outs, especially when they’ve lost a lot of definition and more effortlessly fluffy. And I’d like to have locs one day. I get the natural description lined up perfectly!

[@ND-nx1nt]

This! Is! What! I need! Liked this video before watching. I am a soft classic and yes agree on the hairstyle being neat. I do a lot of flat twists, low buns and plaits. When I do wear my hair out I make sure it's structured and not all crazy.

[@querenm3303]

I'm a soft natural, and my hair is naturally wavy which is really easy to style with my body type hehe

[@franibeard]

Haha lucky!!

[@ngozijanea]

This video is sooooo needed! I think I'm a soft dramatic and a great style for my hair is a twist out cut into an asymmetrical bob. With my shrinkage, the cut brings in some angularity that highlights my cheekbones, while my curls bring the rounded shapes that compliment my body. You've got me thinking about other elements to incorporate as I develop my style. Thank you 💛

[@franibeard]

Oh that sounds beautiful! Thanks for sharing this.

[@georgiawilliams2006]

As a mixed chick with transitioning hair and FG I appreciate you covering natural styles.

[@justnatonya274]

Thank you for this because I was basically guessing on the hairstyles!😂 I'm a theatrical romantic and I find wearing my hair down in braid/twistouts with accessories really flatters my look. The examples you shared help me out so much because now I know I'm on the right track.👏🏾💯

[@dianathomas2674]

Great video. As I understand, the outline of the hair is to be the focus. Sharp vs. Rounded outline. As a Dramatic who doesn't want a blunt bob, I will take the advice for long hair. Thanks. I have naturally fluffy, fine hair that does what it wants and does not do "sleek" and "sharp". As I recently did a butterfly cut that makes me look very unpolished, I will now leave my hair alone and do the long line thing. I have always tried to soften my facial features with face framing layers, a big no for a D, and Romantic and Natural lines in clothing to look more "feminine" lol. And felt miserable accordingly, until I found Kibbe.

[@alyjahflakes]

I think I’ve settled on dramatic classic and I agree with what you say. I prefer my hair to be neat, I never frizz up my curls by picking or diffusing them- I feel best and most put together when my hair is defined or pulled back. I prefer middle parts or a very slight side part but usually when I wear my hair down.

[@thinkingbubblz]

I appreciate this channel sooo much. I am soft gamine(well I did get tr once but I’m certain sg) I love the style ideas and I’ve always had long hair my entire life😅 but I do feel more myself when it’s shorter/natural fluffed air dried hair. Or basically I love volume/natural lived in look ,over definition so I think like flexi rods, the rollers if wanting to stretch the hair

[@hpysparrow]

Soft Classic: Thank you for this!!!!!😍😍😍

[@1021Marcy]

Glad I found this. I was getting anxiety bc I found my dress lines but hair is another story

[@franibeard]

So glad it helped alleviate some stress!

[@Marss90]

Thank you so much for this. A Kibbe type video for black women is so necessary. Looking forward to more :) x

[@ambientsounds8219]

Great! Was looking all over for someone who spoke on this topic! Cause I struggle as a true classic with natural hair

[@alexiscarroll7159]

Thank you so much for this video! This representation is sorely missing and I love how you discussed it and the examples you gave. Very well done!

[@franibeard]

I'm glad it resonated! Thanks for watching!

[@wheresashleigh]

I’m grateful for your content! I recently discovered that I’m a Soft Natural and not a Theatrical Romantic. It’s led me to try to find a protective style that will work with my body, and I think, based on your suggestion, that I’ll try Senegalese Twists because they will resemble the dreadlock look the most.

[@susiedbc]

Thank you for these videos! I am white, but have 3B/3C hair. I appreciate your analyses.

[@MichelleSMV]

I found out recently I'm a soft natural and I was wondering what I could do for my hair so this was honestly a great video to find! Thank you so much

[@Sammyyrow]

Love the content. This is a much needed space as it taylors to ethnic women but using Kibbe's principles. The only feedback I would have is it would be amazing to provide timestamps in your discription for your viewers. So if someone wants to just get the advice for a soft dramatic lets say, they can refer to that exact point from the provided timestamp.

[@sholapetinubu4214]

So happy i found this video! I've just recently discovered the kibbe body types. I'm a soft classic. I've shaved my head a couple of times - fun but too much yang. I'm finally growing it out - about 5 inches with shrinkage. And add some texture with a sponge and i think i could wear my hair like this forever. It's such a classic look but the texture adds such a softness 💖 thought i'd share.

[@macaronmoon]

I hate that I'm only finding this now but crochet braids are also very versatile as a style and can go well with soft dramatic, natural, or even classic types and also a less permanent style alternative to locks.

[@AngelaCelesteMay]

This is fantastic! Thank you for doing this. It's so necessary. I love that you took the time to show a variety of great examples and options for the different body essence types. I am pretty sure I'm a theatric romantic and I love wearing gold metal jewelry in my natural hair. Excellent job!

[@UR6IXCents]

Thank you so much for this! Been struggling to find content regarding natural hair with the Kibbe types, especially as a soft gamine, and this just hit the nail on the head. Doing God's work!

[@sheilakosoff5806]

What about a soft dramatic with chin length locs? I just stated to Under stand the kibbe method and it explained why I liked certain clothes on my body. I mean I finally understand about the long vertical lines. I would always alway get compliments when wearing my lines. And why I looked better with longer hair. I had my head buzzed cut for awhile and when I grew it back it was I looked better in my clothes. There is really something about this kibbe method. I just subscribed to your channel because I finally found some representation.

[@AudreyCoyne]

Absolutely love this!

[@domuniquelashay]

You are such an angel. Your energy is so authentic and kind. Thank you for your videos

[@niyahpia]

I have been searching high and low for a video like this!

[@PatriciaSantos-wz2jc]

Thank you so much for that! I wanna let my natural hair grow and I had no reference of what is an ornamented haircut for the R family. I truly appreciate it!

[@akashicsong9904]

I’m sooo glad I just found your video! I recently got typed into Romantic and my Kitchener essence is Ingenue/Gamine. I’ve been trying to figure this out since I feel pretty set with my fashion style, getting my haircut in harmony is exciting. Thanks!❤

[@LovelyD11]

This is soo good!!! I have long locs like 10 years worth, but I love when my hair is loosely curled or wavy! Not sure what my brown girl friendly kibbie type is because the facial features always throw me off. I think I am In the natural category body wise but my face feels rounder to me...

[@wrendor9465]

Great content! This is such a big topic and if possible I would love to see more hair talk. I fall in the romantics (TR) category and I am interested in hair braiding and even faux locks. Please elaborate more on this subject, perhaps in a part 2. Thank you :)

[@queenali91]

I just discovered your channel (not sure how!) so I've been binge watching all of your videos! You seem really sweet! I've never heard of the Kibbe Body typing before, so I took the test and got soft natural as my results. But from more research I think I am more of a flamboyant natural, but I honestly don't know. It's fun to think about though!

[@franibeard]

So glad you're here!! It's definitely a fun system to talk about and an interesting way to perceive style and body image.

I’m romantic style and I have locs so I’ll try pipe cleaners and lox jewelry 😊

[@Syren90...Aka9]

Coif - sounds like (K*wh*au*ff). Is the pronunciation you were referencing in regard to Janelle's signature, retro hairstyle. Great video, very informative and your presentation is lovely. Take care.

[@shayogirl]

Hi, Quiff (kwi-ff) is actually correct. It refers to that specific hairstyle. However I think coif and quiff might be interchangeable. Cheers

Meghan Markle essence

[@britjj5126]

Speaking of which I’d love for someone to do suggestions of outfits that would flatter her kibble type. I feel like when she was in England as a working royal her style and whole essence was in shambles probably due to stress and unhappiness. She seems happier and more her authentic style self in recent photos of video stills.
