Uhm ew. Then you clearly have yourself to blame. Where do you think he got this knowledge from? I can find plenty on UA-cam just alone showing they made videos well over 2 years ago. SMH. I learned about it 15 years ago as a young black child. Your lack of education on your races hair types doesn’t reflect the black community as a whole. Do better instead of trying to give credit to people who aren’t black. This knowledge has been around in the black community long before he ever started in the hair business. Shame on you. The only thing he should get credit for is properly educating himself on all types of hair before even thinking about touching them. Which is the bare minimum.
All my confusion is gone so clear with proper real hair examples! Slowly and precise conveying of information. Thank you 😊 I’ve gone through loads of videos yours is the best. I’ve been classing myself as 4C when I’m 4B and 4A at the back.
I have the same 4b hair, and it's so soft and coily when it's wet. However, it hugs itself to death that when dry, Itso is knotty, so having it straight stops the knots😂
I have 3c, 4a, and 4b. I’m happy you explained 3c vs 4a. I’m not really sure if I have 4b in the back or 4a and possibly low porosity in the back. The front is definitely high porosity but when I moisturize the back it looks just like the front but it tends to be dryer in the back and looks more fro like. The front in some spots have a very loose curl, almost straight. The middle in definitely s curls but the back tends to go more fro like in a few days but the front maintains its curl pattern
I have the same three types of hair type as you! The back and top crown is a 4b and also dries out more and I have to def add more products plus do finger coiling to make it look defined. I’m learning more about my hair at the age of 46 😊
Your culture doesn’t have a hair type. Maybe your ethnicity does. And anyone can be educated about hair types… especially if it’s their job to do hair.
Great job and well explained. A lot of miseducated rumors had us all thinking all brown and black women had the same curl pattern 4C, which isn't true. I have 4A my daughter has 4C. I would love you to make more videos about 4A type hair. Thanks
Hi Mike! Happy to see your videos on the hair types. You made me realize that I've been classing myself as 4a but I really am 3c. I found you from your Kerastase videos and I purchased 3 products due to your videos. I must say I really am pleased with them as my hair feels amazing now. I got the curl manifesto mask, the discipline line's keratine thermique and the Elixir ultime oil. I do have a question for you though. Do you think I should buy more of the Discipline line for the days I choose to do a blow out and flat iron? I live in the Caribbean and just the thermique has done a good job with keeping my hair from reverting due to the humidity. It makes me wonder if I use the shampoo, mask, and conditioner if the results will last even longer. Would love your advice.
Thanks for this video! Would love to see more Type 4 hair care videos from a hair dresser professional as on UA-cam it's mostly just bloggers speaking from personal experience.
Hi I found your video very interesting,thank you for the advice, yes I’m 4b, and my hair needs lots of moisture, my hair also puff up when I go outdoors so now my style is gone.
Great video but I'm still unsure of what my hair type is 😕 the hair around my hairline, nape & edges is very loose, soft, with clear curl patterns, that grows quickly - possibly 4a (?) but the hair growing from my crown is very dense, shrinks and is undefined... I don't know if it's 4b/c!?! it is genuinely cotton-like & puffs up, even with water/moisture...it still has low porosity & so different from the rest of my head
This is the best video I’ve seen explaining coils and I could use ur help really. I have a weird curl shape pretty sure it’s 4c and I feel that my hair is damaged and I need help with what routine I should do to restore my hair.
@Seruzul 3C and 4A are extremely different one grows downward the other upwards. 4A and 4B are way more alike verses 3C/4A. Which he explains in the video dum-dum
Question can a person have all 3 types of 4A, B, C in their hair at the same time?. I feel that i do.. its challenging on how to style and use products
Hi Mike, thanks for the education( 3c/4A always dull and dry= shrinkage, puffy, frizzy mess - any advice??). Thanks for listening and asking questions(read your comments). Subscribed!!!
@@Esquire2024 Yes, Jasmine. Notice white people are A1 and blacks are 4A or 4B the last in the list no wonder black women are insecure with their hair. I never knew it was the last in the list.

My hair in its natural state, is a blend of different textures, it’s thick. My hair soaks everything up. Sometimes it was difficult to understand my hair. But I have learnt a lot about the textures of my hair.
I have type 4 hair its wavy,but i perm it and i cant keep moisture in my hair, my hair gets frizzy and dry and sometimes break off ,what should i do. Because i like to plait my hair in little bitty French braid plaits./what products do you suggest i use.
stop using the relaxer - it’s drying your hair out which is making it break off! type 4 hair is never wavy. that’s the relaxer loosening your true curl texture.
@@vanousisi8112 i was told from a Chinese lady at store,when i was going to get braiding hair for box braids,she touched and look at my natural hair and said your hair is type 4,my hair is black ,but in the light it looks brown, so your saying all them years ,i was told wrong hair type,my natural hair has curly waves?
@@bridgetalexander8950 i think so because wavy is type 2 3 is curly But 3c is towards the coily but remains in 3c because of it's curl size probably twice larger than 4a hair size curl According to the internet Crochet needle size but i am still confused about mine because it's larger than a crochet needle size but they keep on saying it's 4a hair.
Ok, so what do you do when you have multiple textures? Like my hair up top is more coiled, but my hair on the sides are more on the curly/straight side. I look at all of these videos and feel like each section describes characteristics of my hair 🤦🏽♂️. Everyone is always telling me “you should take care of your curls” but no one ever has any helpful tips.
I have 3c, 4a, and 4b....I started using a combo of light serums, heavy moisturizer and light oil 👍🏼my hair loved it. I have high porosity and other methods of moisturizing left my hair dry (even with carefully checking the ingredients). I learned I had to moisturize everyday, maybe twice a day to keep my hair happy.
For the person who said hair is hair..you need to get more knowledge on BP hair. Ok ur hair is not like everyone else's hair. We have a range of different textures,hair curls etc. This man on this video is getting information on BH because it's unique and it's profitable for his benefit(cash 💰💰). He took his time and studied this carefully and interviewed people. Would you think the same if it was a BM telling us about WP hair? 🤔. This man can't say nothing to me that I don't already know. Don't believe the hype family.
I’ll be the one to say, I’m sick and tired of people talking about our hair. What happened to the rest of the damn alphabet ? Wealthy people are just bored and want to market off of us like usual. Just because Oprah co-signed the hair chart doesn’t mean that all of us agree with this bs. Just another way to put us in a damn chart and scale. I just wonder how the world would be if we were to disappear? What would people talk about? hahaha my co worker who is a white woman, asked me if my hair was 4c. I didn’t really know how to respond because I wasn’t expecting that to come out of her mouth? And then complimented my ponytail I’m the same sentence. Hahaha I would of been wrong if I asked if she weighed 250 or 350 😉
