      Exactly! And I hate when people say natural hair is not for everyone , that's sort of like saying ears aren't for everyone well if you were born with them apparently they are. The hair that God gave me is for me. We are blessed to have such versatile hair and if for whatever reason someone prefers straight, that does not have to be done with chemicals.

    Welcome back! I agree, we fought so hard for the crown Act and just as we're finding out how dangerous hair relaxers are, many people are going back to them. I think some of the problem is that we have made caring for and maintaining our Type 4 hair much too difficult. And childhood, it's thrived with very little effort. So, let's rewind and start this again and I think it would be very interesting if you visited beauty salons who specialize in natural hair. I've not been able to find one in my area. Let's find out what they are doing!😊😊 and, do they charge more simply because your hair is in the Natural State given to us by God?

    • @LethalLemonLime
      @LethalLemonLime Рік тому +1

      people stay saying this like little girls with 4C hair were walking around with healthy hair down to their hips... like... this is obviously not the case as most people with type 4 hair did not know how to care for their hair when they went natural (and didn't know how to care for their relaxed hair either since most had short stiff dry hair). I'm not saying this to be mean but this kind of revisionist narrative is so weird and doesn't even make sense because if it were true, people wouldn't be going back to relaxers. If it were true, most people would have known what their natural hair texture looked like. Back when I went natural 10 years ago and even before I went natural, most women didn't know what their natural hair even looked like because all they could remember were relaxed hair. And the vast majority did not know a thing about caring for their natural hair and neither did their parents.

    Your comments are spot on. Those type 3 videos gave me so much frustration in the early days of my journey. Time taught me how to work with and do beautiful things with MY hair. I wasn't doing anything wrong, unrealistic expectations were being set. And it did seem like a lot of YT content was coming from type 3. And i no longer buy into natural type 4 hair being difficult. Bc I'm not looking for t3 results or the t3 look.

      Depends on what you mean. 4b and 4c hair have a key advantage the other curl patterns don't have. That hair will hold braids and twists a lot longer. That means that you don't have to redo the styles as much. My hair will look old after a few days to a week. I know someone with 4c hair who could leave their braids in for a month. 4c hair is harder to detangle but it does hold the styles.

    As a Black man you inspired me to grow my hair out. I wasn't allowed to grow it out when I was younger and was forced to have a bald head or short hair cuts and it wasn't until I turned 28 last year I wanted to grow it out. I came across your channel years ago but forgot your name and thankfully you popped up in my recommendation box last year before I was going to cut my hair bald again lol. I watch your "Why I love my afro and why you should too" and How to be confident with type 4 hair" videos almost every day. Those two videos inspired me so much. Definitely my favorite videos from you and always liked how honest you are. You have inspired so many of us to grow our hair out and care for it Joyel 😊

    😕 Yesterday I broke down because after 2 years of re-growing my hair, I just haven’t figured out how to make my 4c hair look continuously moisturized and I have so many textures, it just doesn’t feel or look “good” 😞. No matter how much product I put into it. And I feel so odd compared to wearing weaves with softer textures. So happy to see you are getting back to this - I just found your content not too long ago so it’s motivating to keep trying!

      Have you thought about what you consider to be indicators of dry hair? If your hair isn’t damaged and you moisturize it regularly, it may be moisturized but look different than other moisturized hair because of the type of hair you have. Not all moisturized hair is shiny and soft to the touch. Doesn’t mean it’s not good or moisturized

I think you have a lot more you can offer in this area, don't sell yourself short. Looking forward to it! 👊🏼

    ❤❤❤ How refreshing!
    I'm a dark skinned type 4 lady living in the Netherlands, been natural for over 10y but only ONCE cut off dead ends or anything in all that time 😱. So silly😢
    3mo ago, weeks after graduating med school I did a big chop to start all over. 🎉
    I've been very annoyed to see what has happened with the natural hair movement as compared to what it was in/around 2008.
    It used to be about embracing your natural hair in all its forms and shapes. It changed into an obsession with "definition", which oftentimes seems to be used as a kind of code language to say "hair that seems of a looser hairtype / or hair that is of an "acceptable" hairtype 🙄
    I literally know several people who are "natural" but at the same time seem to be disgusted by shrinkage. They feel like if the hair is not weighed down with kilos of gel or something, just to make it more stretched, it's embarrassing to show and "undone". 😑 Or "looks dry".
    I've heard some extremely ignorant comments made about type 4 hair, even in my church, also coming from mixed people who were raised by a black father who appear to not have any self-love for blackness and seem t glorify whiteness. It's really sad to see, I think it's cultural in their case. Some cultures are extra self hating.
    But all this to say that your channel and you are very refreshing. May God bless you. Your hair is beautiful. But also great to see that you genuinely love your hair, and are not saying problematic stuff. I'm looking forward to more of your content.

As I searched for products to use in my family’s hair my experience was that the majority of videos coming up were of influencers with other hair types who being deceptive and even click bating. I would call that high jacking 4c movement and definitely trying to capitalize on it. It was extremely time consuming, frustrating and defeating. It was also expensive. So thanks again!

    Thank you for continuing to share your natural hair experience. I have been relaxer free for about thirteen years. I have done two big chops since I retired eleven years ago. Both times because of heat damage caused by my own lack of knowledge and my reliance on hair stylists in an area that did not have natural hair salons. I decided to enroll myself in UA-cam university 😊. After sorting through a lot of content and some conflicting information, I found a few channels that most closely match my hair type.

    Your video just popped and I like your perspective on this whole natural hair movement. ❤I can’t talk for the US because I live in Europe and grew up in an afro centric German environment. My biggest issue I’ve been seeing for 13 years now is how people are using the label 4c. Many girls on social media would call themselves a 4c owner without owning these tight coily hair strands. We would try using their recommended creams and our hair would still not curl like them or appear silky shiny. Many of us were left behind because no one taught us how to do effortless washngos. So by consuming these loose textured hair videos, it really did something with our confidence. We only saw recognition when our hair is either kept in long twists & braids or it’s combed out into a huge afro. We barely saw role models showing us that 4c hair isn’t struggle hair that needs to be moisturised daily just to keep it soft. My biggest mind shift came, when I was seeing naturals with my 4c hair curl size & texture rocking wash&gos in 2014 while doing the maximum hydration method. Washing the hair more often while focusing on plant based curly girl method principles was my biggest light bulb moment, which lead me truly not chasing straight hair or a looser curl pattern anymore.

    It breaks my heart to have been seeing the return of relaxers and remembering my 13 year old self relaxing my edges just to maintain my hair and looking at my life now in my 20’s as a complete natural of 4 years, thanks to your channel. You’re spot on about type 4 hair care being mislead by the natural community of those with looser curls! I was sad to see that you started making less hair videos knowing how greatly helpful they have been, and this video was the best reassurance that I can look forward to new hair content 🎉 so thank you!!!

    Yay, you’re back!❤ I completely support the idea that our beautiful women should not go back to relaxers and they need to get off the hair crack! Please keep your hair as is because it encourages those who don’t believe they can grow their hair. Welcome back! 😀

    I think it’s great that you’re coming back with natural hair content. You’ve always been true to yourself and original. You are one of the few of us who actually comes on this platform and speak on the sensitive subjects that surrounds our hair that many of us don’t understand or are just afraid to bring to light. Its honestly a breath of fresh air. You have my 110% support all the way, I’m here for it🎉❤❤🎉❤

    Hello Joy-el! I absolutely love your channel. You are such a beautiful young lady, and know that you are truly loved here! When I first saw your hair. I said no way. That afro was thick and gorgeous. Then I noticed these other videos where your hair has grown. Love it! I have subscribed. Keep it up! Your content is definitely needed. I am sure you have gotten some pushback from your counterpart, but we are here for you!

    I stopped relaxing my hair after I was 36 and I would never go back. There are a lot of people are have natural hair. Many will come back to natural hair. Totally agree with you, many wanted to be Type 3. I am now seeing a lot of type 4 naturals.

    I think people should do what they want to do. We all only get one life to live, so we should live it how we want to live it. We don't see a lot of 4c women rocking their hair in it's most natural state for a variety of reasons. 4c hair is the most tangled and shrunken up, so certain styles can add to the tangles and make it harder to maintain. Sometimes it's easier to wear it stretched or straightened, and that's ok. We all should do what's best for us.

    The only problem with 4C is when it starts to gray, the texture change and I’m at a lost. I’m one that went back to the perm and it’s the worst, I noticed my hair is only 4C about 3 inches up from the sides and back around to the other side, the top (bang) and crown is straight but kinky, never the feel of new growth. All my life I never knew I had more than one textures. My sister and I had perms growing up, she decided to cut her hair in her fourties’ and it grew out curly, smooth curly ringlets. I think I’m going to cut off the permed hair(at the 4C areas and leave the top heavy and trim as it grows out, because there isn’t anyway to determine what is new growth. The sides and nape you can’t get your fingers threw the new growth. The shrinkages is real in those areas.

    Thank you! So many creators are leaving “natural hair” content once their audience grows. So many say they started their natural hair journey on UA-cam for the purpose of sharing and helping other. Now, that they have a bigger audience, they say that they are bored with “natural hair” and want to branch out, which is fine. But content creator should not blame viewers when they are not getting as many views, they seemed to have forgotten that it was the “natural hair” content that attracted viewers in the first place. I started watching UA-cam because of my natural hair journey, when the platform changes, I unsubscribe. BTW, I have watched you for a while and you have helped me greatly. I loved the video when you showed you hair actually shrinking during the course of the day. Again, thank you for not abandoning us because we are STILL learning about the beauty of our natural hair.

    How cool is this, my name is very similar to yours and I too am mixed race with 4b hair.
    I find it's very rare to find another mixed person with actual type 4 hair. I decided to get microlocs a year ago and have never been happier.
    I agree it's weird when people say that natural hair isn't for them... You never hear straight haired women saying that.

    Yay! I'm glad you're back and I just want to say I loved your home content so upload what you see fit as you see fit. Couldn't agree more I had so many unrealistic expectations about my hair, but I was lucky that I went natural during lockdown and had time to relearn. Everytime I see a relaxer video it reminds me why I went natural in the first place. Can't wait to see what you do next!!❤️
