THANK YOU for being so inclusive with us THICK hair girls, even when it is not your hair type. Gathering this knowledge and these tips firsthand from girls with the type 4 hair is so important and I appreciate you for that 👏🏽🤎🤎

[@emanthescripter1076]

The natural hair movement was created for type 4 hair, you were already included.

[@pgdi82]

I don't share your curl pattern but your videos HAVE SAVED MY CURLS!!! I'm a proud curly girl thanks to you, Bianca!!

[@pgdi82]

Soaking wet styling, another game changer for drier textures!! This completely improved my curls!

[@mjsolomon5427]

I think this is good for all curl types. It's just that some are doing okay without it.

[@TosinAfolabi423]

I literally can not work the product into my hair without it being completely soaking wet

[@rdaliz]

Bianca everything you have shared works for all curls. Cleanse, condition and style. The styling part is where the chaos comes in because a lot of people think they need 5 different products to style when you don't. For the tight curl girls that need help, let's work on identifying how do you want to wear your hair? What style are you trying to achieve? What Biaca shares work for my tightly coils. I don't even use leave in.

[@jaleesasilvin5542]

I have type 4 hair, but I've watched your video's from the start of my journey. So you helped me out a lot! Really cool that you are making this video about type 4 hair. I can appreciate that! You doing great!

Aww thank you 😭❤️❤️❤️

[@anivonhunt]

Uncle Funky's Daughter bye bye build up was the best cleanser for me. I did not have to pre poo when using it. That was my #1 cleanser. Any Briogeo conditioner gave me slip. Then I used Bread Beauty shampoo and conditioner which I loved. Best leave in conditioner was Kinky-Curly. Best gels was Kinky-Curly and Uncle Funky's Daughter Curl Magic. Other steers I ke because I can put them on damp hair Not Your Daughter Curl foam and Shea Moisture Curl Smoothie. I never do twist because my hair will Curl. Now I am allergic to fragrance and only use fragrance free products. The best ones are: Seen shampoo; conditioners I like Briogeo, Jessicurl, and Frize-Frize; styles I like Frize-Frize (cream and gel which leaves my hair so soft), Urbanbella's gel, and Quia creme (is the only one I can put on damp hair). I love my hair. I do not cry about it because I know what ingredients work which is so imperative with natural hair.

[@sofhiaramos1252]

[@Neosoul_prima]

My type 4 hair routine has definitely changed! A lot of things really shouldn’t be too difficult or different in our routines! A thorough rinse, clarifying shampoo, moisturizing shampoo, DC, detangle, rinse and style in a twist out! Depending on my deep treatment, I’ll add a leave in if needed, but things can be all so simple!

[@jhazell25]

Love this! I have "3C" and "4A" low porosity. I follow a variety of curly influencer because all curls are different and the variety of tips has helped me. Some parts of my hair I can rake in product some I need to finger coil a little. It also helps to know what may not work for my hair just as much as what would

[@kreyol539]

Keeping it simple is where its at! It can be relatively easy. Im type 4 (my hair looks pretty much exactly like natural reign’s), don’t pre-poo, Ive only worn wash n gos since the time I big chopped to 4 inches of hair almost 3 years ago, and my hair is already slightly longer than armpit length. Its also dense and low porosity. I consistently Cleanse every week (no co-washing, just shampoo) condition, and style (1 leave in and 1 gel) only. I also see my stylist every 3 to 5 months for a trim and to maintain my shape. Thats it, thats all for me!

As a person with type 4 hair (bare in mind I have high porosity, thick hair) , I do like 80% finger detangling and 20% Felicia Leatherwood brush. I find that this works best for me !

[@EricaLandWriter]

THANK YOU. The struggle has been real trying to figure out how to style my hair which is between type 3 and 4. I tried some of these tips and just had one of my best wash and go’s ever! The one that worked for me the most was applying my products in the shower on soaking wet hair. It was a game changer for sure.

[@amoritaleonard6391]

Hey, Bianca! I have always found your videos extremely informative. Even though I have type 4, fine, low density hair, I'm able to tailor a routine to the needs of my hair based on the information you share. Even your yearly challenges help me care for my hair. I appreciate you!

[@BiancaReneeToday]

Aww thank you so much! I appreciate this comment 🥰🥰❤️❤️

[@pgdi82]

This is why YOU ARE THE CURLQUEEN!!! 👑❤️

[@lenaedyse9634]

I use coconut oil as a prepoo the night before I wash my hair. Then I wash my hair, rinse with water, then add apple cider vinegar with water to my scalp, leave it in for a few minutes then rinse it out, deep condition for 30 minutes, rinse out and then Banta knot. I like to squeeze out any excess water because I do not use a towel to dry my hair. I add leave in and then mousse. I detangle with my fingers and a wide tooth comb. Then I put my hair in 8 plats, then leave it for in until a day before my next wash day. This process can take me about 3 to 5 hours.....5 hours if I get distracted.

[@leijaira2830]

I never really considered that "pre-pooing" but that is what it is. I always moisturize my hair with some kind of conditioner or hair milk the day before wash day and put it in a loose bun. It makes the wash day steps a lot easier to deal with. We definitely take the same amount of time though lol. What mouse do you use?

[@lenaedyse9634]

@@leijaira2830 l like using Swear NYC because it does not leave my hair crunchy like other mousse do.

[@pondeck]

Yaaay, I love & watch so many of the influencers you showed bc they're so beautiful, I love their personalities & channels, & I'm always rooting for their success! We need to have & give love & support inside & across all hair types, & to be able to just listen, be respectful, & let each other shine for who we are. And btw some ppl have crossover 4 & 3 textures. Plus, spoiler alert, there are some 4 & 3 crossover tips when it comes to hi-po, density, & strand size, but honestly it is just liberating across all textures to let go of battles with/against frizz, shrinkage, definition, shininess, consumerism, etc., & just celebrate the uniqueness of each person & the beauty of our collective community. Thanks for this series Bianca! 😘

I love you for how you approached this. I've watched so many influencers speak about other hair types in super broad terms and say it like it was concrete facts. It irritates me so much, especially when what they say in reference to my hair type doesn't apply at all. You were humble enough to admit your limits and seek knowledge from people who know. 👏👏👏

[@michelegrigsby]

I have thin hair, probably 3c/4a and it makes perfect coils..like little springs. I never scrunch and hate diffusing my hair. Air dry is the way to go, it shrinks but not as much. I use a lot of water on wash days with a cream leave-in (Blueberry bliss) and the matching gel to finish for my wash and go. Never twisted my hair because I'm super, super lazy. On wash day I use a wide tooth comb then a smaller tooth comb to detangle, again super lazy, but because I don't normally shed I like to get the hair we normally shed out. Also, I want you to know you were one of the first people I found when I was thinking of starting my journey. Thank you for your wonderful videos they have really made my journey much easier! 💜💜💜

[@paigepage6791]

I love this video, you took the time to ask these questions and deliver the answers but not only that you gave a low/high key shout out to those beautiful 4 type hair youtubers, you are awesome

[@arr0991]

I agree with the detangling of the hair with conditioner or dc before shampooing 1)because of what they mentioned of the tangles and the shampoo, and 2) because you can’t get it super clean if your hair is very tangled, so you want to be able to get in there and clean your scalp well so detangling first helps. Also I died with that montage at the end of type 4 hair!! THE VOLUME!!! So beautiful!!

[@pgdi82]

Love, love, love this video!! Not my curl pattern but the amount of research and work you put on it is absolutely amazing and appreciated!! 😘😘😘

[@2k11Emma]

That adding more water, is great for Curlsmith gels, especially when refreshing on dry hair. I learnt that with the curling soufflé… water water water! I have 3b/3c ☺️

[@feliciarussell8731]

🤩 Such a great video!! Appreciate how you really try to help everyone with their curls. I thought I had 3c hair until it started growing & it’s 3c/4a. I might try the detangle before shampooing & then end with a deep conditioner, just to get rid of all the shed hair before washing.

[@tammie3194]

Oh I have 3c/4a too and detangling before shampoo is one of the best steps in my routine. I hate detangling matted/very tangled hair. Since I only do twist outs, I only use (a very moisturizing) leave-in and oil.

[@evettewalker5596]

Natural Reign, Will on a Whim are great Natural Hair Influencer's.

[@mjsolomon5427]

I'm glad the refreshing thing came up. I can't "refresh." I tend to wash my hair every day just because I can't refresh. MAYBE I can get 2 days. So y'all saying I need MORE product???

[@TosinAfolabi423]

The only way I refresh is if my hair was in a pineapple overnight, I spray a little bit of warm water and a fresher product then fluff it out to get back in shape for wash and go look. I only do this to the back and maybe sides of my hair where if I loose curl definition won’t be so obvious Which is my it’s best to put my hair in pineapple for bed.

[@karinwells687]

I have the same problem more gel helps but I still get only two days 😆

The Uncle Funkys Daughter gel is so great. Honestly one of the only gels that actually does something in my hair. Edit: I do have to note that my hair did fizz with this.

When I take them out in the morning it just looks like a stretched wash and go! Ima also try the hair mask before washing. Only if I don’t use gel tho.

[@tatyanna408]

My thoughts throughout the video: (Listed so it’s easier if someone has a comment 1. I love this idea, my hair isn’t a bit curlier than yours but I watch your videos for brand recommendations and how you describe certain products by its thickness. 2. I have to disagree about the curl type. I truly believe being a new natural and not to overwhelm yourself is to categorize yourself into a hair type. It’ll help when finding KZbinrs, product recommendations, discover more tips before eventually branching out and being able to become more confident in styling your hair. 3. Twist-Outs looks good on any hair type that could hold the twist even if it’s a 3-strand twist. Imma try this on one of my sisters. 4. Random Thought: I don’t understand how people can wash their hair in the shower. It made the process for me unbearable. I love detangling, shampoo, and applying my deep conditioner out the shower. But when it’s time to rinse it out i go in the shower and apply my stylers unless I’m doing a twist-out. 5. I personally don’t refresh unless I absolutely have too but even then I rather put my hair in a ponytail. 😭 It gives my hair a break from being down. 6. I love air-drying but I got tired of going to bed with wet hair and had to sleep a certain way so I bought a Dyson. I’m still trying to get the hang of it, but this KZbinr, ManesByMell had a diffuser video and it was a game changer. She shows 3 different ways to diffuse and the proper or best way to do it. 7. The CurlSmith Pre-Biotic CONDITIONER is the goat 🐐. I call it Hair Crack (Beauty Shop Reference 😭). The key is to go in with more water than product because it’s more on the concentrated side. The consistency is like Shea Moisture Raw Moisture Retention Conditioner but just a notch or two thicker

[@VIsidore]

Preach on the Curlsmith conditioner!

[@monica53210]

Yep hair mask before washing is amazing. I do it when I’m taking down protective styles. My fav for this right now is so Soultanicals muru muru moisture guru mask. I finger detangle in sections after taking down braids then hop in shower to shampoo it all out

[@TWS1977]

Camille rose almond jai twisting butter and curl maker gel. I also love their honey hydrate leave in conditioner. The melanin hair care shampoo is a good clarifying one

[@cakeCrumbzz]

I dread wash days cause I know the amount of time I'll spend in the shower

[@burningpopsicle6031]

@6:30 Truthfully my shower routine doesn't last too long anymore, when it used to take hours. I don't use Instagram anymore so I couldn't put my input in. But basically my hair used to take hours too. Like two or three hours in the shower. Hop out, deep condition, hop back in rinse. Four hours. My hands were not strong enough to be lifted all the time!l, and hell yeah I used to cry! My final straw was nearly passing out from the heat and bending over all the time🥴 I used to do that thing where I unravel every section to shampoo and condition, retwist, then unravel again to rinse. With my big head if hair this took up MOST of the time. Edit: Basically what was mentioned at @11:35, but for the whole routine. So what to do I do? I shampoo, rinse, condition, rinse, deep condition, rinse. While still in braids. Bam, it takes me at MOST an hour in the shower now. At first I thought it wouldn't work bc I was think what if I still have dirt in my hair? What if my hair tangles? What if I don't wash everything out? None of that happened. The trick? Detangle/pre poo (like the video said) before washing, leave the braids loose enough where the water and suds can run freely through it, take your time while washing--don't be afraid to rub the products in their and don't be too conservative with the water, and finally be gently with your hair after you get out! Squeeze the excess water out of your braids first, then gently take down your braids for proper drying and product placement (or don't, whatever. Fyi sometimes hair takes longer to dry if you keep the braids in. Ask me how I know lol) *Of course everyone's hair is different and this probably wouldn't work outbfor most people. I just wanted to share my thoughts as someone who has literally cried in the shower over my wash routine. Worth a shot tho, the worse that can happen is that you have to jump back in the shower to properly wash your hair and spend some more time detangling. Oh and yes I'n Type 4. 4b/c to be exact.

I don't have the same hair pattern as you. I am definitely type 4 but you still helped me sooo much. Curlsmith products are definitely my favorite along with not your mothers. Although, I definitely appreciate the tips still learn some things I didn't think of.

Your hair is growing so much!!!!!!!!!

[@starmaxx4]

[@sharettalee497]

Bianca, I'm BALD, and I still follow AND recommend your channel/videos. I follow you because of you!!! You're amazing!

[@samiraray5983]

I leave my twists in for like a week so I don’t have to touch my hair every day

[@BiancaReneeToday]

Nice!!

I have type 2, 3, and 4. It's also high porosity and color treated with blonde highlights. I was a product junkie. I found Curlsmith scalp line and Pattern Beauty (gel). I'm good at last! I pre poo with any conditioner mixed with castor or olive oil on my dry ends overnight. I do like twist outs because my hair is out of my face for a week. A bun if I will be in hot weather. I go for a wash and go, but eventually end up twisting my hair because it takes too long to air dry. I use Curlsmith oil in cream or air dry cream as a leave in. I use Pattern Beauty or Extreme gel as my styler. I use olive oil to seal everything in if I need it. My top three deep conditioners are Briogio, TGIN with honey, Mane Choice Egyptian, Shea Moisture Manuka Honey & Yogurt Hydrate + Repair deep conditioner if I need it or Curlsmith bonder. Thank you for sharing your knowledge regardless of hair type/texture/porosity. I learned a lot from you. 😘

[@omalleypieternelle392]

I don't have your curl pattern, but I've learned A LOT from you. It's just relaxing and funny to watch your videos 🤗👌

[@shawnetteamarie]

I love your videos all the time anyways, this one was AWESOME💞

I'm not sure of my curl pattern yet. I think it doesn't reach type 4, but it is definitely curly-er than the type 3C (I think) still I do a lot of the tips you've shared to us and work, like: prepoo with a mask, sections, my hair never gets touched by a towel and have to re-wet once out of the shower, sometimes I do twist outs and never really refresh (it takes too long to get my hair damp, it will be easier to just fully wet it in the shower). I haven't thought on following type 4 influencers, I might have to look into that. Thank you for the recommendations!

[@sarailvazquezortiz792]

Great video 👍. I'm one of your followers who doesn't have your type of hair. My hair is afro and i love your chanel ( very useful and entertainment, no matter wich type of curl ). Well done 😊

[@carleneclark1702]

I love All your Topics!😘🥰😍. Keep going, I will watch 🤓.

[@RecRoom77]

I have type 4 hair with a b and c throughout that is low porosity and very dense. Favorite brand is Curl Smith because their moisture line is the ONLY one with staying power past 2 days. I live for the Cream to Oil Conditioner which I will layer with the Curl Soufflé for twist outs and flat twist. Must style my hair soaking wet. For detangling the game changer is the Curl Mix Flex Brush. And Curl Mix makes the best hair mask I have ever tried. They are all bomb, you can’t go wrong

[@YusraRahmatalla]

I love watching your videos even if it's beyond my hair type (or makeup) ❤

[@msrina333]

I love this idea Bianca, great job!

[@kellzwillz1592]

I enjoy binge watching your videos. I’ve learned so much since starting my journey.

[@ashleymaxime3696]

I like to rake the products in my hair in stead of scrunching it. I get more definition than scrunching.

[@chantelglenn900]

Really cool to hear about the 4's! I'm in the 3bc range and I was quite surprised with some of these answers!

[@shereeseblackman7871]

That was amazing Bee👏👏👏👏🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🙌🙌🙌

[@1Letter23Numbers.]

I use a conditioner wash, then shampoo (they say shampoo twice so the cowash breaks up the dirt and grime, rinse, repeat with shampoo) and then a treatment conditioner/hair mask. I have what could be classified as 2c to 3b hair throughout my head, with pieces that bounce and curl and other pieces that lay there all limp like they've given up on life. I wore my hair in a ponytail all through the 2020 and 2021 pandemic lockdowns and social distancing. I am currently trying to revive my hair so thank you for these videos! Not my hairtype under discussion, but still very valuable recommendations.

[@AdriannaLLopez]

Have you ever done a braid-out video? I looked and couldn't find one....would love to see that

[@maylavernebarnes2007]

Hi Bianca, I have one more pre-poo recommendation: Nature's Little Secret Fenugreek Detangling Pre Poo. It has become one of my favorites. Also the Mane Choice's Heavenly Halo collection has a nice Pre Poo. The Mane Choice also has several multi-use products in other collections that serve as leave-ins, pre poos, and rinse out conditioners (Alpha, Exotic Cool-Aid, & Tropical Moringa lines). Favorite shampoos: Soultanicals Sheyurvedic and Rice Butta Shampoos, Mane Choice Kiwi Guava, Alikay Natural's Moisturiziing Black Soap & Caribbean Coconut Shampoos, and Earthborn Organics Aloe Curl Cleanser. I also like using clay washes from Soultanicals and Chocolate Kinks and Kurls. Favorite deep conditioners: Alikay Natural's Honey and Sage, Miche Beauty Strengthen DC, Soultanicals Ayurvedic Fenugreek Mask Treatment, and Uniqurl Aloemint Moisturizing and Silkening DC, Curlsmith Doublecream Deep Quencher, and Hydro Crème Soothing Mask. Favorite gels: Uncle Funky's Daughter, Curlsmith In-Shower Style Fixer, Miche Beauty Sculpting Gel, and Earthborn Flaxseed and Chiaseed Nourishing Hair Gel. I still have brands in my stash that I will be using for the first time. I sit under a hooded dryer for my wash and goes and sometimes use a blow dryer. I also Style on wet hair and sometimes refresh my hair. I have thin hair so I am not heavy handed with my products.
