You just can't post pictures of someone with hair that silky, long , healthy looking, and say she's a 4 then say she's natural and not have any 100% natural just washed/ not pressed/not flatironned pictures and expect everyone to trust your words on LHCF (or any other Black hair care forum). :look: .... we just like to see pictures.

Not trying to be mean
 
I agree with you on that but how are people trying to judge the hair type without a pic of it in it's natural state. Also I think OP may be confusing in her words of it's not curly when wet. I think when she thinks of curly hair, she is reffering to the 'S' shaped type of curls not the tight curls that 4a/4b have.

Well, what you ask is part of the larger question re. examples of hair stories WITHOUT PHOTOS. I only saw two photos, and I think none were of the girl's hair in its natural state so we're all grasping at straws here and just as we hair fanatics do, we ask LOTS of questions. Such scrutiny should have been anticipated, esp. when the answers got iffy. Again, I give the OP the benefit of the doubt that maybe she really didn't think it would get that serious.... But it's a beautiful head of NATURAL hair and we wanna know how it got to that point. Point blank.
 
Wow that is some FABULOUS hair :up: Looks like a really great wig/weave job.....[Please don't take that the wrong way]
What is her regimen? You say she is natural?

I should have waited for this response. She said it better than me.

There we go. I couldn't have said it better myself. :up: Thanks.

OP...you know how we hair ladies are. That's why when I did my hair udate I showed this picture. Because I wanted to show that my type 4a shrinks 100% even though I press it straight.

WTH... this thread is ridiculous! :nono:

anyhoo, to the OP ~ your friend's hair is gorgeous! I'd rethink having her join, esp. since she'll probably have to go thru the lhcf hair background check... :lol:

errrrrr PinkSkates can I join you on your fitness, better body challenge?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Wow the tone of this thread has really changed from upbeat and amazed to us being the hair police lol. Nobody ever saw pictures of Macheriemore's new growth to prove she isnt another hair type but lots of us type 4's still take her advice. Pretty hair is just pretty hair. Heck even if she is a type 3...its still a lot prettier than even most type 3's....heck Ill go as far to say its prettier than most type 1s and 2s lol. Just nice silky, pretty, lush, healthy hair....it is what it is.
 
I was kinda thinkin the same thing. Her hair looks like Joan off girlfriends in her braidout pic! So pretty but we know most 4a/4bs dont look like that in a braidout...it would look much kinkier. And her wash n go pic looks like someone with naturally curly hair without product to define the curls. Thats also probably why it gets so silky straight too with heat. Very pretty head of hair though, whatever type it is!

My hair doesn't look very kinky in braidouts and I'm a very definite 4a

:badcop:Well just go ahead and deputize me!:goodcop:
The point of contention for me was that it was stated that this was NATURAL hair. TYPE 4 NATURAL HAIR AT THAT. Specificity matters. And this thread is a prime example of why a natural hair board would be SOOOO NICE because the blend of natural and relaxed perspectives is blurring the major premise of this thread.

This sentiment feels a bit mocking toward the natural heads who are making sincere inquiries about the example put forth in this thread.

But Macheriamour is relaxed. I don't think hair type matters as much with relaxed heads. It's more about density/thickness. A lot of times with naturals, the hair type makes a difference as far as methods and products go. If somebody has a similar hair type and they do XYZ, then more than likely my hair is going to react the same way to XYZ. I know I personally try to find people with a texture similar to mine when I'm looking for advice. When I'm browsing fotkis, that is what I look for.
 
:love: Pinkskates I want my hair to be like yours when it grows up. :grin:
Ditto! And I meant to add in my previous post that I cosign Pinkskates for posting her pics showing her natural hair before and after blow-dry/press so that there's NO QUESTION about the hair type being dealt with....

ITA... Wildchild mines doesn't either if I do it on wet hair with product. Same thing with twist outs. But it's still not loose waves/curls either. It doesn't get rid of my shrinkage. Maybe when my hair gets longer it'll do that.
 
Everyone PLEASE stop going back and forth on this b4 it turns UGLY!!! Lets be patient and wait for the OP to post some more pictures that will be able to PROVE to us what she wants.. till then dont worry about it,,, its absolutely GOOD to be skeptical and since we are OP should turn up so more pics for the sake of satisfying us:grin:

You most certainly can! I will post the thread on January 1 or 2.
 
All I wanna know is how do I get my hair to come out like that?

Lemme know, please. Even my puff is getting sick of the puff.

You have beautiful hair OP's friend!
 
she's right here..she says she goes to the salon once per month.
She deep conditions every 2 weeks. She is switching to co-washing weekly. She uses biosilk to moiterize. Y'all she dont even know the name of her shampoo and conditioning products:rolleyes:

That's what they all say. I'm like "Well how do you go to the store and pick up the same thing each time?" :rolleyes:
 
Beautiful hair (love the new color!) and pretty girl!!

Yes, she could be a 4a for sure, look at the lovely PinkSkates :yep:

I can't wait to see a fotki, her list of products and her unmanipulated wet hair :) Gorgeous hair! :gorgeous:
 
i guess i don't know the difference between 3C and 4A.

I do know a 4B head when I see it though. :lol: all i gotta do is look in the mirror
