      Naomi Williams her content is what people with kinky hair need and it’s crucial for the natural hair community because she brings real facts and science on the table. Some UA-camrs have a million followers and bring false narratives and confusion. And are not knowledgeable.
      So since most people committed to natural hair contents want to have healthy and long hair or just healthy hair it is important a majority of girls/women with that type of hair follow her so they don’t revert back to the creamy crack. And at the moment a lot of them follow the “wrong “ people who give out wrong information and/or are just here for paid partnerships with click bait titles!🙄

      If you subscribe to the 4abc chart then it says 4c has very tiny coils with out much clumping. Clumping is 4a. According to it 4c certainly has no 'curl'

    • @kaylynboyd2035
      @kaylynboyd2035 4 роки тому

      Jessica Ike common sense tells you it’s not clear cut and it’s impossible for every person with the same hair type to have the same exact curl pattern. If you subscribe to the chart you also have to take into account density and porosity for why two people with the same pattern can have different looking hair.

As a women who was growing up in a time, the late 80s-early 2000s when natural hair was not as widely celebrated as it is now, I have seen and am now living with the consequences of that mindset and lack of knowledge. Now as a women with CCCA (scarring alopecia) It breaks my heart to think about where my hair could be today if only my mom and those around her would have known but I am a believer that God doesn’t make mistakes! As a mom of a baby girl now I am on a mission to educate myself in hair care as I go about caring for the beautiful crown God has blessed her with. Thank you for this video.

    Great info.! I've been natural for almost 30 years and I rocked a twa for 27 of those years. So, for me my tightly coil hair type pattern wasn't a consideration as I was rocking my twa with a daily wash-n-go.
    But then I decided to grow it out for a wedding where I was a member of the bridal party
    Then came the wake up call that the more I grew it the more I realised that I needed to understand the needs of my particular "4c" type hair once I realised that a lot of the recommended "4c-type" products did diddley squat for my hair with some doing more damage than helping.
    Before I saw this video, I thought I was nuts when I realised that I have predominantly the last three curl patterns described. Thanks, now the straight-jacket is off!👍
