      Joy Before Her Hey I am a new subscriber ☺️ I have the same type of hair as you but I get a lot of frizz in the back of my head like the noticeable parts what can I do to get them more defined and less frizzy?

    • @JoyBeforeHer

      Hey thanks for this video I understand now. My hair is all over the place the top of my hair since it’s more natural it’s like a 3 but it gets really dry and frizzy middle of my hair is a 2b/c dry and frizzy and the bottom is like 1/2a because I bleached it many times. I wish my hair was more curly and not be all over the place lol.

    • @user-xm2nb7qj1t
      @user-xm2nb7qj1t 4 роки тому +428

      That's how everybody's hair is unless it's straight. Curls get weighed down when your hair is longer, thicker, has a lot of product in it, etc. So you might have 3a textured hair when it's very short, but then it becomes 2b when your hair is really long.
      Since your ends aren't weighed down nearly as much as the rest of your hair, you will likely have more texture on the bottom than on the top.
      There are ways to sort of fix this, but the looser the texture the harder it is to avoid.
      It can look nice though, so you may not even want to change it if in you think it is.
      You can make your hair's texture fully come out by getting specific haircuts. You could even get a haircut made specifically for your hair type, but only if you wear it natural all the time, because it won't look good with straightened hair.
      Sorry for the long comment!

      보석Nat This is the most relatable comment ever lol. To help you figure out your curl type, you can see how much it shrinks from when you pull on the curl, to when it’s in a normal resting state. I have type 3c hair. When it’s wet, it’s obviously weighed down, so it looks like type 2 hair, but you can still tell that I have curls. If it were to look straight while wet, then it would probably be more like type 2 - 3a hair. I hope this helped and also, best of luck with figuring out your sexuality. I have the same struggle all of the time.

      I really liked that she included photos for all curl types. Most people just show the squiggly line diagrams, which don't really show much of anything. Seeing photo examples of each type was extremely helpful. I knew that my hair was *somewhere* between 2b and 3b. Now I know that it is 2c at the top and 3a at the bottom. I was only able to narrow it down after seeing the explicit examples in this video!

    Coming from someone who is also a mixture of 2b/2c/3a curls, I completely understand the difficulty with understanding how oddly straight my hair looks when it's wet but as it drys it just looks so much like yours and people often don't get it (and if I'm being honest, neither did I until the last year or so).

It loves protein and hates too much moisture. I use the new Pantene curl and volume lines, including their curl cream, which I use as a leave in, along with Cake mousse and Herbal Essences gel.

For a few years I cut my hair really short ( almost shaved) and concentrated on restoring the roots. My sister found a cleansing conditioner by Ren Pure Solutions that I use 6 days a week on my hair and once a week I use a shampoo called Generic Tea Tree oil shampoo. It's made for getting impurities out of the scalp. Once I towel dry my hair, I use a few drops of OGX coconut miracle oil and work it through my hair.

    I had ringlets as a child, like Shirley temple all over, and then my hair grew and the weight pulled the curls out to waves. I have really thick hair, 3.5 inches in diameter thick when in a ponytail, and it would tangle easily, so my mother and grandmothers solution , neither of them having my hair type, would be to rip through my hair to get all the knots out. My hair went frizzy and pouffy after that, and stayed that way until I was 17, when I cut my hair to a pixie, and then it grew back wavy, 2b, and I learned about curly and wavy hair styling and it got curlier and curlier until now, 2b-3a hair, it’s still changing and adapting so who knows, I may get back to that Shirley temple ringlet

I spent my entire childhood being told I was "lazy" and "didn't take care of" my hair because it was always frizzy and the curls like to invent new directions to curl in. (And humid days... UGH.)
    I started heat straightening it to stop people from basically accusing me of leaving it un-brushed for a month. It was self-defense and then as an adult, survival because of workplace attitudes. I've only just recently begun to try and work with the curl instead of fighting the curl.

      @@danaalmalik2871 I condition my hair every night with aussie or suave, but i usually let my curls hang loose everyday, I brush the frizzyness with a toothbrush I sprayed with hairspray. Sounds dumb but it pushes the friz down but it doesnt make my hair crunchy or wet looking on top. I also use mousses and scrunch my hair, plus texture creams make the friz go down too and make the curls more defined. Hope this helped, I'm 13 this is the best I have lmao :)

    Growing up I was never taught how to love my curls. My mother didn’t know how to take care of my hair... then she abandoned our family so I was really left to figure it out on my own. I begged my dad for a straightener and sometimes I wish he would’ve never allowed me to get it lol. I completely damaged my hair. I’m just now starting to take care of it. It’s so hard because I bought the damn deva curl products but they completely leave my hair feeling so dry. Now I know it was because of the change in products. It just sucks because I miss my curly healthy hair 😭 but I promised myself to keep going on this journey of recovery. I can’t even pin point my curl pattern. Right now it’s like from 2a-3a 😂😂😂😂💀💀💀💀 a damn mess. The one thing I do love about my hair is that it has volume for days.
    I can go a whole week without washing it. Cheers to all the curly girlies we got this 😭

      Same. My mom has wavy and my dad has curly. My mom legit always blow dried my hair straight when I was a kid because thats how she liked hers, and she never learned to love her curls.
      Now im 26 and have been loving my curls for around 8 years!!

      I recently started using the real raw coconut curls products and they are working well for me. Very moisturizing so for some it is probably too much moisture

    I am so glad you showed the model with the tight curl pattern pulling her length. Whenever I flatiron my hair and wear it long and straight, my coworkers ask if that's my hair. They don't understand that natural kinky hair shrinks. I am type 3c/4a.

    My hair is the same type as yours and I have been doubting my curls because some people told me it was wavy. It used to be 3b, but it changed and now I'm relearning how to style it. Thank u very much, the next time someone doubts my understanding of my own hair, I'm sending this video for them

    I’ve recently started embracing my curls. I never used product in them I would just wash them dry then put it up. I never truly knew what my curl type was and now I do! I’m a mix of 3a and 3b with a little bit of 2c in there!!

  • @aveclbanque2798

    A few 2b locks and areas, but mostly 2c, a few very rare 3a
    I had written that backwards Lol fixed it
