The TRUTH About Hair Texture

[@GetGlamFam]

Did this video explain hair texture well enough? Did you learn anything new? Let me know! *DID YOU KNOW?* I also do how to videos for men like this one showing how to tie an ascot: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXjJYoGMo91_atU

[@ShoalBear]

Is this part of how y'all determine if someone has 4c or 2b or 1a hair and such?

[@teetee8654]

I basically learned a whole lot today thank you for always being my free cosmology class🤪😂

[@psr076]

This was so informative. You discribe my hair wich is fine. Like you said less is better for fine hair. With time I realized it. The wet brush works well for my hair.

[@GetGlamFam]

@ShoalBear no, that has to do with curl pattern. I’ll have to do a separate video on that

[@ShoalBear]

@@GetGlamFam shows how very little o understand. I thought it was a combination of curl pattern and hair texture. Maybe that's why I am so confused when trying to figure out mine. LOL

[@suzannesuzanne6201]

Dude...you always make me second guess everything I've learned in cosmetology school. In all fairness I "did" go to school in El Paso TX where I was the only "brown" person in class. I think we spent a day or two on ethnic hair and it was basically teaching to flat iron it into submission...no real texture break down. Thanks a bunch.

[@missshebababy]

You are an excellent educator! Thank you SO much for sharing your skills and passion for cosmetology.

My absolute joy! Thank you so very much!

Excellent! I have coarse strands and dense, spongy super thirsty hair that needs TONS of product to get it correct. This helps because it shows me there's nothing wrong with my hair.💕💖

[@melibow2003]

It's always nice to start the morning off with seeing a well groomed man! And when he teaches you something new about your hair.....that's just way more than I was ready for 🥰!!! Hey Linwood! First....that tie/ascot is everything! But the sleek ponytail and even beard..... I'm done😂. You look marvelous! Now back to this hair situation.... I've always had what I considered thick high density hair- but lately it's thinning out (with the help of this dang thyroid medication) and it looks more and more like fine hair! Color damages it now and it doesn't like heat at all. Guess I'll be throwing my hat into the wig game now for real. Thanks for this great info and stay fly my brotha😎!!!

Thank you so very much! We appreciate the love!

[@aliciahaywood9188]

Thank you for this video. It is showing me that I am on the right track with my hair. People tell me that I have thick hair but I tell them it is not thick. I have fine-medium strands and high density. I have been natural this time around for two and a half years now and I just figured out the right products for my hair. Thank you again Linwood for the educational videos that you do!

[@sedsa097]

Alot of ppl say thick to mean dense

[@rochellemckinney3220]

Very informative. I was not aware of the meaning of texture when speaking of hair. Good to know. It’s the thickness of the strands and not the tightness of the coil. 👍🏽👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@GetGlamFam]

Yes ma’am! Common misconception 😊

[@The.Whoever]

I have fine, thin-medium density 4b/4c hair. I've had to learn to lighten up on products and not be so heavy handed. It's interesting being a natural with thin density. You're often seen as having damaged hair. As if it's not normal to not have a high density of hair. Especially when you have afro hair.

[@aprilbrown7480]

The Whoever Girl!!! You just spoke a word...yes! My daughter is of the same type but all products claim to be for damaged strands but they are not. The strands are fine, dense (a lot per section, and healthy). My challenge is keeping it moisturizes without weighing it down. What products have you found to work best?

[@The.Whoever]

@@aprilbrown7480 Aint it the truth. I use Knot today as my leave in. I either use it straight up or make the kimmaytube version. As for my moisturizer, right now, it's Camille rose aloe whipped Butter gel. I've found that I can use heavy moisturizers, I just have to make sure I'm not using a huge amount of it. I have a habit of being heavy handed. So if you're not already just try decreasing the amount of product or going for products w/ a lighter consistency. So if you use a quarter size amount per section, try making it a nickle or dime size amount. I have yet to try any lotions but they tend to be lighter than butters. Maybe give those a try or look for products that say "light weight". But try decreasing the amount of product first to see if that helps. Good luck, sis!

[@The.Whoever]

@@aprilbrown7480 Oh I should also add that I use aloe Vera gel. I keep a spray bottle of half aloe gel and half water. I cant use water because it will open my cuticles. Ispray my hair w/ that and then I LCO using knot today, a bit of the Camille rose butter gel and seal it all in w/ a mix of mostly olive oil and a tad bit of castor. The key for me was to find products that seals my cuticles & keep the moisture in without being to heavy.

[@aprilbrown7480]

The Whoever ok, ive seen Camille Rose products on the shelf but always thought them to be for silkier hair types. We’re more type 4 kinky coils than curls. It sound like you wear your hair out and we still tame our hair in braids or cornrows at all times. I’m a big Shea Moisturire fan, JBCO or Manuka Honey. Thanks so much for sharing. I’ll definitely be trying something new 🤗

[@The.Whoever]

@@aprilbrown7480 No I actually keep my natural hair in plaits for 4wks at a time. I'll wear my hair out for up to a week after that and then put them back into plaits for 4wks. Camille rose is indeed for us type 4 girls too. There's a lot of 4c girls that use her products. My hair is the total opposite of silky lol. Sounds like we have similar hair. Im sure you can find type 4 girls on youtube reviewing her products. I use those products when my hair is both loose and in plaits. And yes. That Manuka honey is bomb. I love the smell. Wish they had it as a perfume.

[@kathrynquinn3255]

This video was very informative and you explained it perfectly, as you do always. I see that the perms I used to get were way too much for my hair. Breakage galore!! I now know how to treat my hair with respect and GENTLY. Great video!

[@ItWasMyName1st]

I have fine hair, medium density and a z pattern. No curls or coils. I'm very prone to dryness, breakage and heat damaged. I also have a tender scalp. That being said, I Love My Hair! I don't wear it out often but when I do it's very pretty. I need a heavier product for elongation and twist outs if I want it to last more than a day.The shrinkage is real! I only do twist outs prior to my shampoo day. My beautician washes my hair every two weeks. Wash, condition, blow dry and three cornrows takes all of 30 minutes. Deep condition and trim days of course take longer.

[@rosemaryrose6994]

Thanks Linwood all true. My entire head has fine hair but its low to medium density from the crown to the edges the entire back is high density except for the nape its low to medium. Had to explain this to stylist over and over because the back seems like thick hair but if treated like coarse hair it may fall out. I'm glad you wonderfully explained this issue. You're the best on KZbin.

[@GetGlamFam]

Thank you so very much! Happy to help!! 😊🧡

[@CHRISTiandoll7]

Yaaassss Linwood boo! 😍You better wear that ascot sir!!❤️❤️❤️❤️I have coarse hair. Lmbo @ trees in your forest! 😂😂😂I understand what to use for my texture that will allow me to “baby” my hair and keep my hair healthy. Thanks for the great info Linwood! 🙌🏽

[@quartzzhuit]

Thanks so much for this. I now understand why my coarse hair can take medium heat from blow outs. I hardly see breakages. Oils only make my hair drier. Having 4B low porosity hair too grease works as a final sealant.

[@redroses501]

I have coarse hair from your description. You help me to appreciate that why my friend and I get different results on our hair. She can do a wash and go with not using a lot of product. Me doing a wash and go requires a large amount of product. Well taught! Thank you.

[@gwynthh1756]

Thank you! I always thought my hair was course by default of being afro hair. I now recognize it as being fine and dense hair. This is the beginning of understanding my hair's love language. After losing 16 inches of beautiful virgin hair that I decided to stop weaving and relax, I'm learning. Hair has never been my forrte. I am all thumbs. But you're helping me. After getting a pixie cut to mitigate the breakage, I'm experiencing breakage in another area. I have invested in a steamer and will learn to properly care for my hair between salon visits. If you know of any quality, caring, professional haircare providers in Columbia area of SC, please drop their contact info. Thx.🎉

It’s taken me awhile (and a lot of money) to figure out that the curl pattern system is not the correct way to determine the needs of my hair. I was bullied out of a facebook group for not having 4C hair. My hair is curly but I the texture requires heavy products and moisture. Thanks for the confirmation of this video.

[@GetGlamFam]

Wow, I can’t with some of these naturals online! 🤦🏽‍♂️ How are they going to bully you for your curl pattern, which you can’t control?! Curl pattern usually will help determine how moisture deficient your hair will be, but not the product you should use or the method of moisturizer, etc. porosity, texture, and density are all bigger factors when it comes down to that. Thanks for sharing your experience and feedback dear! 🙏🏽❤️
