  • Our natural curls come in all sorts of amazing shapes, sizes, and lengths, and in this animated video I go into detail on how these curls are classified according to the well - known Andre Walker Hair Typing System. Hair typing is a popular natural hair practice seen all over social media and the natural hair community, and, in this video, I explain the following elements regarding this practice:
    - What hair typing is
    - Who Andre Walker Is
    - An explanation of how the system works
    - A rundown of the different hair types in it
    I hope you enjoy, and please let me know in the comment box below if you would like to see more animated videos! :)

    I read that type 3c is when the hair starts growing up and out like an Afro instead of downwards like 3a and b, anyone know how accurate that is?

  • @Tangerinesorbet
    @Tangerinesorbet 3 роки тому +5

    Greatly appreciate this detailed breakdown of the hair typing system. My only critique of the hair system would be that there is gradual progression of curls in types 1-3. Bigger curls become smaller curls labeled a b c. With type 4 it’s never explained why there is a jump in a pattern from curl(a) to zig-zag(b) back to curl(c). Shouldn’t 4b just be a smaller curl than 4a and not zig-zag? Maybe, Andre walker was really looking at another hair type ( Type 5) and just called it 4b because he was biased against deeper study into the kinkier hair types?🤔

She gave me tips and even told me about hot oil treatments. I don't know why we never hear about this much as a white person? 🤷‍♀️ Thank you so much for the info!!! BLESSED BE 🙏☮️

      Its honestly a waste that companies use to get ppl to buy their products. Etc. As a black girl, many of us have moved past this. It was in the height of the natural videos on UA-cam but its not really useful.

  • @sisterlees1004
    @sisterlees1004 2 роки тому +1

    Someone need to add the wavy curl pattern in between the 3b/3c curls. I have some areas on head that are neither 3b or 3c because they simply falls in a wavy way no matter what. But they’re tighter than type two hair. I don’t know if that makes sense. I’m constantly been told that they’re either 3b or 3c but they form in a wavy way no matter what I do. Do any of you on here feel that way about your hair?

    • @CollegeCurls
      @CollegeCurls  3 роки тому +1

      Are you just beginning in transitioning? If so, it will be awhile before you start to see a curl pattern. And even then, it will be hard to tell what your curl pattern truly is with your relaxed ends pulling your hair. I suggest looking at old pictures of yourself if you were natural when you were younger or even looking at your mom’s hair for some idea of what your pattern MAY be like 💕
