All the fine fros please stand up and be counted. We have a place in the natural community! ✊
I have thin fine hair, after 26 years of trying to have an Afro I arrived at the conclusion that all dreams are not valid.
Shiko Wanjiku I have the same issue but my hair is becoming thicker so keep maintaining and have protein treatments once in a while .
Castor oil does work, put some on your roots regularly and massage your scalp afterwards do it every for a week.
Check the length before and after 2 see the difference.
I saw it work 4 me, my hair is fuller and longer!
Shiko Wanjiku lmbo ugh girl me too! My hair is too thin/fine to have a nice round fro 😩
Ladiosa Amor eh it depends lol castor oil isn't going to make hair follicles appear out of nowhere lol 😂
Jumoke Girl that's very true I have the same issue but it strengthened my hair for some reason...
Protein treatment like a henna mask or coffe or herbal tea rinse , Castor oil and scalp messages worked 4 me as thin hair Afro girl so hopefully it can for someone else!
Ladiosa Amor probably added some thickness to the hair shafts!
I remember telling my aunt that I had fine hair and her saying that I had coarse hair. I feel like people in general and also specifically in the black community say that their hair is thick or coarse meaning that it is hard to handle but your hair can be tightly coiled and still not be thick or coarse. The two do not always go together. I also think that having textured hair in general people automatically assume that it is thick, but looks can be deceiving.
yep you've hit the nail on the head. But you know it's not very talked about so many people don't know
Your hair is the closest I've seen to resembling my own hair on youtube!
msinterpreted101 woohoo hair twins!
msinterpreted101 yes! Me too
ikr!!! Her jair is why I subscribed. It's like mine
I have a hang up about hair thickness. I never cared about texture, I ALWAYS obsessed over thickness and density of my hair. Im so envious of 4b/4c UA-cam naturals that have extremely thick hair/ I mean I do have dense hair, but I want it 7x thicker!
AfriPrincess411 one, girl me too because I'd rather have fullness than definition and two, girl bye! Lol you already have thick hair! Hahaha 😂
I have thin & fine hair. I have less hair follicles and my strands are very thin compared to the thickness of others' strands. I try to explain this to ppl all the time cause they think I have thick hair and I tell them it's just how I manipulate it to give an illusion of thick hair. Most ppl still do think thin hair means damaged hair as well.
MekaSharee girl! Me too! Don't let the Afro pick fool ya now because if you see my hair wet, you know it's thin 😂 lol and damaged? How sway? 🤔
How sway...I'm dyingggg
MekaSharee same here. my hair is thin and super fine.
MekaSharee
Hi, I know this is soo off topic but I love your hair in your thumbnail. How did u achieve the look?? I love it😍😍😍 Thanks
The difference between strand diameter and scalp density has always been clear for me, but I can say that your breakdown is one of the best I've seen on YT. Good job!
1GoldenBreeze yay thank you!
So helpful! You're the vlogger who helped me realize I have thin hair and that's why it will never look like the youtubers who seem to have mountains of hair! Once I realized that, my hair life got a lot easier lol.
Christina Lynn girl! Me too! I had to just accept it and take a different route lol
Wow that was informative and you sacrificed your strands. All Tree of dem.
lmbo! all the three follicles of hair haha
Lmao
I have fine strands densely packed.
fine thick hair is great :)
Jumoke yeah but it wasnt always this way
Oh my gosh too! I have fine dense hair and it’s a lot of work sometimes lol.
The ends of my hair is fine, but I have 4c kinky coily hair. I stretch my hair, but I don't want it too stretched, because it will look like spaghetti. So I embrace puffy hair, it makes my hair look thicker.
Luvu 21 girl me too! My hair is in a puff right now lol 😂
You took the words right out of my mouth. I never thought I would prefer twist outs to braid outs, but braid outs overly stretch my hair, making it look too stringy, while twist outs provide just the right amount of stretch plus shrinkage. Who knew that shrinkage would become my best friend!
July Fit ugh but I like length! Lol I have to let them go but I can't haha 😂
Cheryl 21 thank u lol someone understand the only stretch I do is pick it An let it naturally shrink back but still get a little stretch lol
When I was doing twist or coil out I undo it the spray with water lol then pick it out I just wanted the ends to have cool shape but rest fluffy like a cloud :p
This video breaks it down pretty well. My hair is very thick, but it is also fine... A lot of people dont know the difference😅
had to let em know lol
I've given up on salons unless I need a trim because they all tell me how "pretty" my hair is then proceed to treat it like its that full thick hair that can hold any style. I walk out looking like I have 2 strands of hair and my new style blows away as soon as a little breeze hits it. Advice to my fellow fine and thin hair girls; reduce how often you wash to a max of 1x per week (even less in the winter), if you take any medication consistently, read the side effects because sometimes they impact hair thickness, stop heat and chemical straighteners NOW and finally, pray that it doesn't get worse as you get older. PS: you have 1 more strand than me lucky girl!
lol you know the struggle!! and I work with what I got haha
Totally agree about the salon EACH AND EVERY WORD!!!!!!!!!
I have thick fine hair. my mom had my strands analyzed at a cosmetology when I was little. She wanted to know why it wouldn't hold curls for long if she did a press and curls. When I later got relaxers I used all kinds of hold products and the curls didn't last. Now natural again fingercoiling is a joke. I can really only wear my own pattern for more than a little while. I dont understand why people talk negatively about coarse hair when actually coarse hair can be EASIER to care for because it doesn't get damaged or break off as easily. It's sturdier. My hair is easily heat damaged. The group of people most likely to have coarse hair are Asians.
yep you are so on point with this comment! people don't know the struggle fam smh
So glad I found you, your hair is almost identical to my own, and the story of alopecia seems to ring true as well. Keep sharing. Thanks
I'm soooooo happy I found I your page!!! Thank you. The fine/thin hair community thanks you! I was looking for somebody with hair like mine. I have been struggling watching videos of hair nothing like mine. THANK YOU!!
aw no, thank YOU for supporting! :D
Thanks Jumoke, that was Crystal Clear!
I have medium density with a mix of fine and medium hair strands. I could work with that combination. I wish more popular UA-camrs explained that instead of sending us on a scavenger hunt for products that "makes hair thick" 😒 like if I have 25 strands per inch and u have 100, how ur product gonna help me sis huh? How?
OKAY!! I be looking at these challenges like how we gone defy genetics? how sway? How castor oil gone make me sprout more hair follicles? lol
I have thin fine hair too! Your hair looks beautiful
thanks love!
Subbed - because you're thorough and it's a relief to at last find someone who understands my struggle!
aw thanks so much and yes we are here! lol
I would say if you haven't already get your blood levels checked. I've been researching, and while some people do naturally just have thin strands it could be related to a deficiency in vitamin d or iron...or really any vit/mineral.
hmmm! You might be on to something! I got a blood test done a couple of years ago and everything checked out fine but I was low in vitamin D which is ironic because I live in South Florida lol
Interesting. I've always tested low on iron and my hair is fine and thin too.
absolutely amazing way to explain thanks! U also seem to be my hair twin. ive been binge watching your vids I love them!
Sublime 7everine aw yay! It's so hard to find people with hair like mine! Lol
you probably couldnt even see my hair if it was on that paper lol
lmboo the struggle
Thank you for this video! I have thin hair too and have always wondered what the difference was. Finding a well-represented 4C natural on UA-cam is difficult enough and finding one that matches my thin hair is even tougher. Thanks!
Lakeisha no problem! I'm trying to be the change I want to see :)
Love the way you broke it down ... thanks for the good info 👍🏾👍🏾
theresa chambers thanks for the comment and no problem! :D
You Did A Wonderful Job, Explaining😍
And The Demonstration, Amazing!
yay!
Thank you for sharing this wonderful teaching video 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👏👏👏
You are my new role model!
aw
OMG thank you for this!!! soooo helpful!
no problem :))
I'm so glad I found your channel! 😃😃 it's so frustrating seeing all these natural hair videos knowing that NONE of it will work for you. I didn't flat iron or use any heat on my hair for a full year but I think I'll go back to it. I've never really needed a perm because when if I leave my hair in a ponytail long enough (all of 30 min, basically when it dries) it'll be straight. I have mixed 2a/3a hair. It's wavy at the top & middle and baby doll curls on the sides & in the back. Most ppl don't understand the struggle 😂
Martina Davenport lmbo what an interesting mix and I get you girl!
Martina's Way Wow your hair air dries in 30 minutes. Mine takes an entire 24 hours especially the roots.
Great video! Clarified the difference well!!!
Gia Star thanks!
you did a good job explaining! i feel like i get it now
neuyogi yay! 😄
Lol when you first took the paper out I was like damn is it that deep but it made it easier to explain. I get you. Anyway we all have different hair types that's what makes us unique
lmboo thought it would help with a visual and you are so right
OMG I have been struggling with my hair. I finally found someone who understands my struggle which is why I subscribed lol. I have watched about 4 of your videos (BTW congrats on your saved journey)...anyway around my hair is thin ;( but the middle is think...like you said about yours...My husband wants me to try different things but it is so hard...hope I can get some tips from you!!!
hey thanks for the support! and yeah I gave up on all the manipulation of natural hair styles a long time ago haha but stay tuned! hopefully I will have some tips that can be of use to you!
Im glad , you did a video explaining the textures. some girl looked at my hair and said "wow her hair is really coarse" I guess out of ignorance she meant that it is "hard" (majority is 4c and the nape is 4a)but SIS, I do not have coarse hair. its fine! SMH. some strands are like extra fine. I have low porosity, fine , thick hair . its like my hair is the definition of an oxymoron.
lol man people just don't know! but it's real out here!
Why do ppl think 4c is hard , so annoying lol
you should make tutorials of the hairstyles that you use that look good with your thin hair. like twist outs , protective styles, braid outs etc and what you do to upkeep them or special tips to help other thin haired naturals
Jahnaya Harris thanks for the suggestions! I'll fine time to make them :)
Great visual. I'm in the from the thin fine hair club.
whoop whoop! join the team ;)
I have both! its been such a crazy trial and error over the past 7+ years and im still trying to figure it out. Afro pics are our friends! A steam cap is our friends too! im still figuring it out too since i have like 3 different textures as well! my crown is the coarsest.
ooo hair twins! :D
Okay, so I am not 100% sure I have thin hair, but I know w/o a doubt that what grows from my hair is definitely fine. I have to treat my hair like delicate lace, especially the entire perimeter of my hair, the perimeter is like a mix between 3c with a small mix of 3b, while the rest of my hair is primarily 4a. I have struggles styling it because it is prone to breakage. Using products that are heavy is just asking for it lol. I've been implementing protein treatments which is truly helping. And I also am giving my hair a break from any kind of twists or braids. There are certain things that I want to do with my hair, but I fear the result because of childhood memories 😣 lol long story, but I have always known that I have extremely fine hair, and I'm trying to learn to care and nurture it. Anyone else dealing with this?
yes girl I can relate! #thestruggle lol
so glad I found this channel!!!! #hairtwins
hey twin!!
Wow this was so informative! I never knew African American women could have fine+thin hair too, as the hair always looks so thick because of the curls. I would never be able to tell your hair is thin/fine. It’s really pretty, and doesn’t hang stringy and greasy like thin/fine straight hair :)
yep we're out there! and thanks so much! your hair is beautiful as well :)
Great video! I believe I have mostly medium density & mostly fine strands
AkirSenrab thanks!
thanks for the detailing
I have both!!
I can totally relate. I have 4a-c hair, and both high and low porosity and thin/low density hair that’s medium thickness. My biggest problem that I cannot seem to get right is that my crown which is 4C and high porosity keeps breaking. Instead of starting over and giving into just relaxing my hair, I’m trying to treat that section differently this time. Hopefully it will recover, but I wish I had all of 1 type.
aw stay encourage, sis!
very informative!!! 💖💖
thanks!
this is great information.
thanks so much!
new thin/fine subbie ✋
Lia O'NE 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Your hair looks beautiful.
thank you love!
I have fine hair all over
hi jumoke, that was a nice touch including hair samples :) for future videos I'd like to see more of your current regimen and also what's your opinion on clip ins in fine thin hair. bad idea? breakage? I'm concerned about my edges and my nape.
MsChelle82 thanks! And I'll be sure to get on it but it's just that my regimen fluctuates every so often but I'll give y'all the most recent lol 😂
MsChelle82 and as far as clip ins- I don't wear them but I know that the quality of the clips are very important because they can damage your hair if you're not careful
Heey look! you have my hair! I have every hair texture on my head from 3c to 4b and it's thin and fine and very confused lol
TheShyscarlet girl we the definition of multi textured! lol
TheShyscarlet Me too. It's thin ie less follicles and fine ie diameter of hair strand and different textures. Long bra strap length but i don't know what to do with it.
Oh MG!! 😪😪Where have you been jummy!! Your explainations are just so understand ,I do have thin fine hair!!😪the struggle!!but I put my hair on cornrolls a bit often I hope it doesn't have a negative effect tho
Very informative. I can't make a proper afro and this is why. Thanks
no problem :)
My hair has a really fine texture, and really thick so I really don't know what to do when I am finding hairstyles. Anyways I'm am officially not confused, thank you!
I have thin and fine hair too. Glad that I'm not alone
nope. welcome to the community!
I'm in the thin, fine 4c hair squad and LAWD! The struggle!
I get it I have 4a4b4c hair
hair twin
Eunice Saint-Victor yay! Twinsies! 👯
This can be confusing, especially if you've transitioned recently. I think of the difference as--fine as the opposite of thick/coarse and thin as the opposite of dense/full. I have a lot, or a high density of super fine hair.
I know a lot of people with that type of hair as well!
can I wear half wigs leaving my edges out and a vixen sew in and still grow my hair as a protective style now since it's winter in NJ...I like wearing my hair out in summer
try it and let me know how it works for you!
Tfs💖 I love your make up in this vid, especially that shimmer on inner crease. Do u have a tutorial on it?? Thanks
no, I don't do makeup tutorials but thank you so much for watching! :)
Jumoke
Thanks go much for response pretty 😍😍😍
:D
Oh my gosh my hair is like that so I figured it’s fine hair
yep. it's more common than people think!
Ok so i have soft hair....like if I put braids in they jus slip out....i wanna work out a hair routine....but idk where to start....any ideas
hey there! why not just wear your natural curls?
Omg did I just find my hair twin?!?!
maybe! :O
I feel like I'm in math class. 😂👏🏽 you look really pretty though.
Fearless Sheer lmboo I was trying to be informative 😂 and thank you!
i have fine but thick hair, so like the individual strands are thin but i just have a lot of it. it's kinda annoying.
I get you lol
I have fine, thin hair a high forehead and most recently alopecia. SMDH
mswtaz94 ugh alopecia sucks!
Do you fine that your styles don't last more than a day??? If not, how do you make it last. My hair is extra soft, thin and fine and will not hold a style longer than a day and half.
Jen C I use curl restore creams. the only one that works for me is soft sheen curl restorer in a yellowish gold and red bottle. I use it for wash n go's, braid/twist outs. my hair is thin and fine it used to erk my nerves doing a style then the next day it doesn't look like I even tried to do anything to it. it's just a big poof you can see through. lol. that curl restorer is my best friend.
I just don't care lol I like my hair big and undefined!
Jen C lawd finally! U have the exact same issue as me 😩 I thought I'd never see the day. My hair hasn't been permed for 3 years but feels like a damn cloud if u touch it lol
what do you mean when you say 4c hair, because I hear see it all the time on hair videos?
4c is a hair type. Based on a typing system from 1 (straight) to 4 (kinky), 4c hair has the tightest curl pattern
comparisons ive seen on other videos for determining fine/coarse hair strands is usually with a piece of sewing thread: thinner than the thread is fine, same thickness and thicker is coarser. im definitely on the fine end
but thread is usually coarser than even coarse hair but yeah fine hair squad!
Jumoke lol guess it depends on the thread but I've read on blogs and forums that people use 2ply or separate it into 1ply
yeah I've seen it too and I always thought it was odd to compare to lol
Jumoke hahah it's quite an inconsistent standard really
Which is better for fine strand hair, twists or braids..
hmmm it depends on how big or small the braids are and a variety of other factors
My hair is pretty fine but I don't think there is anything O can do about that but do uk if there is way to thicken my hair because it is also thin
nope. we just have to embrace it :)
Lucky you small head, big head right here so you can imagine how a bun looks like for me
lmboo ay you better rock that big head haha
my hair has never held a permed or natural style. I would always cut it shorter than I needed. it is now longer than the length in which I would have cut it. but I just keep it n braids under a scarf. I'm afraid to do anything because I want her to feel save at this longer length. lol I know this sounds crazy. but yeah I want length too but how can I? i don't know what a split end looks like because my hair is very fine. no perm since 2003. hair should be longer but I have not cut it short since 2010. still struggling with it. #safewithbraidsnoweave.
lol I get ya! And sometimes you can see the split and other times it's how your hair behaves. For me, I start seeing little dusty pieces of hair when I manipulate my hair so I know it's time to trim
So knowing that your hair is thin do you use any oils and so on differently to those with fine hair please?
yes I do! just released a video on that:
ua-cam.com/video/5YArhVdOt_0/v-deo.html
My hair is thick where I have a lot of strands per square inch. But the overall texture of my strands are fine, and it’s frustrating. I never see any natural hair gurus or bloggers with fine strands. I feel like we’re the super rare ones in the natural hair community.😕
I feel like most people do though! at least from what I've seen
Jumoke Really? I rarely see naturals with fine strands. Always course or medium. I’ll still keep up with my regimen. Just found out that my iron is low which is a huge factor in healthy hair growth. So I started taking Iron supplements last month.
This is my channel
Jumoke hey namesake! Kept this name for my channel since like a year and a half a ago or more I believe. Switched from jumibearz to Jumoke :)
Yes, I'm kidding :)
Not worry :p
I have course hair. Do you have any suggestions?
you can try creamier products and less protein
thin hair = low density
fine hair = the size of the strands is as thin as a piece of string
that what i think it is any way, but you can have so many different textures of hair on one head
basically lol
2damecuteUK I have both. :-(
tequilashots875 welcome to the family! Lol
has anyone ever used kaleidoscope miracle drops? my hair is super thin and fine
nope. never heard of it
I have very coarse very dense low porosity hair. Water beads up on it like water on a ducks back. I can't do a wash 'n' go because every single hair has a mind of its own. There is virtually no curl pattern. Thee are different patches of hair that range from 2c - 4c. What do I do?It is strong and thick so at least I have that! Please see my natural hair art at:
www.etsy.com/shop/GwendolynRobinsonArt?ref=seller-platform-mcnav
sounds like good hair to me! lol wash and gos aren't the only style you can do with your natural hair though. with a little research, you could find what works best for your hair :) thanks for watching!
lol my boyfriend's name is Obi too 😂
you mean you can have both or are they the same ?
dee GiLes no, they're not the same and yes, you can have both at the same time
btw i like your accent lol
You're speaking of volume density? Not the thickness of strands??
I spoke about both in the video
I have thin hair
me too :)
INTRO MUSIC?
hello! elevator music royalty free. If you google it, it should come up
My hair is a lot like yours. Can you do a mini twist?
without looking ridiculous? nope! haha
you end your videos like lizza.. that whole byyyeeeeee thing.
who? lol I got that form my close friend in real life who doesn't have a UA-cam channel lol that's how she ends her calls with me haha
Lol I wouldn't even be able to see a single strand of my hair that's how fine it is
lol #TheStruggle!
