PROS of FINE & LOW DENSITY natural hair | Why I don’t want THICKER natural hair

[@JunePolk-o3r]

I’ve been wearing my hair natural and consistently for about 3 years now. I am > 60 and I’m just grateful for the hair that I have on my head! When I was younger I had a shoulder length head of full thick hair. Not so much anymore. I’ve mourned the loss of that thick hair and recognize that all is fleeting in this life. ❤ yourself and just be happy and grateful for your individual locks on your one of a kind head.

@@JunePolk-o3r well said 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@buhlemaz]

Fine hair, low density babe here 🙋🏽‍♀️ Totally agree with everything you've said. I enjoy being able to just part my hair into 4 sections, moisturise it and slap on a wig and it doesn't look too bulky 💛

[@CoilyDiaries]

@@buhlemaz wow wow wow! Forgot about that one!!! Would be tricky to just do that with thicker hair!😍

[@islandgirlruby2750]

Girl you better speak that truth

[@lovejoy1301]

I have fine, low density hair😊and I wear my hair predominantly in an unstructured stretched afro with lots of frizz...people say oh, your hair sooo thick 😅 honestly you can't tell me nothing 😊😊😊But humbly, I say thanks, because God has been gracious to me!

[@CoilyDiaries]

Amen sis!👏🏽

[@esthertjones]

I have mostly medium, low density hair, and I'm happy with it. 😊 The best thing about curly hair is we can make it look thicker through wash and go, afro, or blow dry styling if we so desire.

[@CoilyDiaries]

so versatile

[@A_Wilson]

I’m getting spoiled with all the daily videos! 🥰 And yes, there’s definitely some benefits to not having a ton of hair. I think the Lord gives us what we can handle. 😅💙

[@CoilyDiaries]

love it 🥰

[@Aniexo_]

Same lol

[@LivingInTheShade]

I have fine hair and you nailed it on the head with the benefits. I love thick hair but I couldn't manage it. I have a relative with fine hair and very high density I could just about do their hair it was difficult. There one thing I don't like people confuse fine hair with thin hair they're two different things. Thin hair is when the parts are very wide and you can see the person's scalp easily.

[@CoilyDiaries]

@@LivingInTheShade great clarification there! They both have their pros and cons but finer hair is simply uncelebrated 😏

[@sandraboullineau5283]

I appreciate and love your videos

[@LivingInTheShade]

@@CoilyDiaries Very true.

[@sobruhkey]

I just recently learned the difference between fine and thin hair, so I'm sure that most (other) people are living with misconceptions. Fine/coarse has to do with the thickness of each hair strand. Thin/thick has to do with how many strands there are across the whole head.

[@pragooutube]

​@@sobruhkeyCorrect!

[@cassenav]

Having fine hair is such a PITA though. I’ve been trying to grow out my hair for YEARS, and if i slip up for one or two weeks, it sets me back for months. I just wish my hair was a little bit less fragile.

[@CoilyDiaries]

delicate strands we’ve got! keep discovering ways to improve on your routine

[@sarebear7777]

Honestly, I feel this. I used to hate not having thick hair but I don't think I’d be able to maintain super thick hair. My hair is a medium density and it's good enough for me.

[@CoilyDiaries]

😍😍😍

[@solitaire10]

I have fine , low density hair and I'd like thicker hair. I don't want long hair but I grow my hair for the coverage I get from "shrinkage". I love a dense TWA.

[@CoilyDiaries]

love what shrinkage can offer

[@blessednhm]

I have medium to high density hair, and one thing people often forget is that dense hair is not just dense on your head. It's also dense on your arms, legs, face, etc. I love my hair now, but a dense head of hair for me came at a huge cost. I know that's not true for everyone with high density, but it is for me. Managing body hair can be extremely tedious, but I've learned how to manage it over the years, so now I'm happy with my hair density.

[@CoilyDiaries]

true… didn’t think of that

[@aprilblooms273]

The video us fine hair girlies needed!! Thank you 😊

[@CoilyDiaries]

You’re welcome 😊

[@missfabidia]

My hair is fine, medium density and I love it ❤

[@CoilyDiaries]

That's great!

[@pragooutube]

To prevent confusion, we should use these terms: For individual strands: FINE strands> medium strands> COARSE strands For whole head of hair/ density: THIN>medium density>THICK Personally, i have very fine strands, yet medium to thick density. The challenge i face is that heat can easily damage my fine strands, yet in its 4c curly state, it's very thick and i struggle to put it in a woogie unless it's stretched. Pro with my hair: because it's fine, it can stretch easily without heat, so twists. And since it's medium to thick density, twistouts look very full and voluminous. 🎉😊

[@CoilyDiaries]

@@pragooutube true…

[@Bromeliadsss]

It’s the sleek buns that I’m a lil jelly of. I did a sleek bun one time and I was fighting for my life. Never again 🙃 but I love the look. Stay pretty ladies ✨

[@CoilyDiaries]

it’s very pretty for sure…

[@killahkurlz7157]

This is meeeee. Was this what people used to glorify as “good hair?” cause ever since I went natural I’ve coveted coarse hair.

[@CoilyDiaries]

😝 hehehe

[@UniquelyAshantesCorner]

I'm a part of the fine hair team too and I agree that fine hair definitely has a lot of advantages. I spend enough time on my hair as is, I don't want to spent more hours on it. Like you said, thicker hair is always promoted as the best type of hair to have. But there's absolutely nothing wrong with fine hair....it's the hair God blessed us with and it should be embraced. I think it's great that you touched on this topic. It will definitely encourage others, and hopefully, more women will talk about this important subject. Take care and be blessed in Jesus' name!

[@CoilyDiaries]

well said! thanks sis

[@laylaboo91]

Fine, VERY high density (thick) 3C bordering on 4A hair and yeah it’s not giving hahahaa. Sure it can look great but the time and patience it takes to get there 😅. I definitely wish I had more of normal density level 100%

[@CoilyDiaries]

Kiki I goes there are pros and cons to both

[@CoilyCode]

I literally just did a video about this. LIke why do we think everyone loves big hair or that thick hair is healthier? No, I love my fine low density 4c. I'd never change a thing about it.

[@CoilyDiaries]

❤️❤️❤️

[@islandgirlruby2750]

My hair is fine, low porosity and dense, not a good combination. The struggle is real.

[@BabesWeAfro]

This is my hair, though I think mine is medium density.

[@CoilyDiaries]

embrace it and continue to love on it ❤️

[@chisomdebra5128]

I have medium to thick density and haven’t been able to do slick downs. Can you point me to naturalistas that have my kind of hair but have done a sleek bun on their hair? I really want to wear my hair that way without it looking puffy😢

[@CoilyDiaries]

@@chisomdebra5128 not knowing how think or what type of hair you have but here is a start kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5XZnqqkpMqXb6csi=As951jp8aIfxkqTz Natural 85 has sleek her hair down but I think embracing the beauty and texture that comes with the characteristics of your hair. Another way is to stretch or blowout your hair before sleeking it down

[@chisomdebra5128]

@@CoilyDiaries Thanks for always engaging.

[@novatastic1111]

Try taking smaller parts and slicking it down to make it less puffy

I have medium density but course to medium strands and high to medium porosity, medium to small circle hair (tight curly kinky). The longest part of my hair reaches between lower spine to tailbone length. I'm thankful to Jehovah through His Son Jesus for the hair on my head and I agree that thicker fuller hair may be celebrated but the time energy effort and amount of products needed to maintain that hair type Lord bless 'em who has it. I'm cool with what I have. (Psalm 83:18; Rev 4:11) Thanks for sharing 💜🙏🏿💐😀

[@CoilyDiaries]

Absolutely 💯

[@Idk-xj4sv]

I have thick thick hair but i wished I had fine/medium hair couse it's so hard for me to take care of them, and i feel like knotless braids comes prittier with thin hair. English isn't my first linguage so i'm sorry if I writed something wrong.

[@CoilyDiaries]

@@Idk-xj4sv hey 👋! The goal is to ultimately love the hair you have! Thick hair has lots of pros too and maybe explore styles that suit thicker hair?

I have hair like yours terms of characteristics and this is why i love watching you not only that but also i love watching you because you are real...your content ain't about whats everyone likes but about what is true, the feelings and all that! This topic is one of hat real thing you talk about❤ And yes the pros are true and comes to think of it have anyone wore a heavy wig?! Looks good on pics but if you put it on oooh you will think where is that scissors 😂😂😂😂😂same as natural...looks good but oh firl let it stay on another one had Side note: i love them thick hairs though😂😂😂😂

Thanks gorgeous! Great point too👍🩷

[@angelvenus-africa4161]

Yes genetics plays a roles . However the older we get our density thins out. Sometimes , hormone fluctuations and inflammation can do it also. I am going through lots of pain and have a HUUUUGE FIBROID PROTRUDING , to the point I look 6 mo. Pregnant. So my hair is taking toll. Even though it's trying to grow , it starts thinning out and I can't get it past lower bra strap. Some areas are much longer like 3 in. From tailbone and other parts at the point I mentioned. I've had to cut sections of hair off due to thinning, and that part is at 5-6in. Doesn't bother me , too much, (sometimes it does) I have notice for side note, years ago ( 17yrs now) Before the whole hair movement , when I had my own hair in singles , she grew exceptionally, in one year, new hairs grew in, so my fine hair appeared thicker, So my ancestors came back in numbers but strands were still baby fine.

[@CoilyDiaries]

@@angelvenus-africa4161 thanks for sharing this, it’s sooo true

Yes the thicker your hair the more work you have to do 😄 but sincerely i love the thickness. I use to dislike it as a teenager because my hair was thicker then before all the relaxers got it but now i want the thickness back and i pray everyday for it😅.
