Niko's adopted cousin...My LHCF Recruit! (A MUST SEE)

[HoneyA]

It appears I missed a lot in this thread since I posted this morning...

 

[nappity]

i guess i don't know the difference between 3C and 4A.

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

Yup-
Apologies to anyone who perceived my observations as being the hair police. I agree the lovely lady has beautiful hair!. Most 4 hair is sheeny not shiny- so that hi-glow her hair has isn't the glow i get no matter what I use. Pink skates and macherieamours hair is sheeny thats why I can see them being 4 hair types. But I'm only human there is a strong possibility that Im dead wrong in thinking she's a three- pictures can distort texture. I hope she doesn't miss out on the great opportunities of being a member on this board, cause of Andre's or LOIS hair typing. We all learn interchangeably. Maybe i can attain that shine

Nappity, I wasnt referring to you personally as being the hair police lol.
I was talking about us as a whole, myself being included because I was skeptical. My point was just that regardless of her hair type, that is not your every day head of hair that just anybody can attain! That is just called being blessed IMO lol.

 

[lilamae]

I'm just gonna say it: if this thread is a lie, that's real messy. REAL MESSY.... Ima leave it in the '07.... Folk are sincerely asking legitimate questions and the answers are less than specific. Messy.

Deuces.

what are you talking about. i started to think differently about this site y'all know how to make drama out of nothin

 

[tyte curlz]

I’m not sure why everyone started attacking the OP but she only stated what she knew. Her friend is natural and has healthy long hair. whether u are type 3xyz or 4xyz I think the OP intentions where just to encourage those on the board that health and growth can be achieved without one denying the other. Thanks for posting the pics u and your friend are pretty girls with beautiful hair. Please don’t let some of the comments stray your friend from joining lhcf. We are all here to encourage and promote growth... right??????????? But any way let us know when her fotki's up and running

HAPPY HAIR GROWING

That description isn't the be all and end all for type 3 hair. It doesn't even mention type 3C. We all agree here on this board that hair typing is subjective. And everybody is not going to fit into one box or another because there is still variation within each hair type. But there are some things that clearly make somebodys type one thing over another. Like an afro versus loose curls versus waves. I think the point that some people (myself included) were trying to make was that we couldn't see what her texture really was, due to the way that her hair was styled in the pictures whether it was straight, a braid out, etc. That is why her texture was brought into question. That is all. Her length wasn't an issue for me.

whatever...

 

[nappity]

Les- with you and me no explanations are necessary- I'm a big fan!
Just thought that I would like her as a resource no matter what.
Id like to know how to get hair that shiny!

 

[glamazon386]

whatever...

Whatever then. You just don't get it. We're not trying to talk bad about your friend. We just wanted our questions answered. I know I wasn't the only person with those questions as they were posed by more than one person in this thread. But you know what I'm not even gonna get started.

 

[Moonxyz]

OT: pinskates your looks great

back on topic: the girl has gorgeous hair. i don't know about her hair type but my 4a/4b doesn't look like that with a braid out or WNG.

But maybe she has a mix of hair? some 4's and ome 3's? and the hair typing system is confusing in general. Heck the 4b label is the closests to my actual hairtype but doesn't completely describe my hair.​

 

[lilamae]

That's what I think. Since the OP is relaxed, she may not have the same knowledge about natural hair that some of us naturals here on the boardl. We may be seeing somethings that she is not familiar with. You can read about natural hair all you want but until you have to deal with it from wash to walk you just don't know. That even goes for transitioners. That's not even totally the same.

y'all are judging from pictures..give me a break

then dont.....

 

[glamazon386]

Alright Fire Marshall Billy Jean. How are you going to get mad/offended at people asking genuine questions? Did you not expect questions when you posted pictures? That's what this board is all about. Clearly, you came in here posting about natural hair something you know nothing about. I'm done...

 

[PaperClip]

One is either part of making drama or solving drama. You're in it and your post to me here isn't solving anything.

 

[Poohbear]

Her natural hair looks beautiful straighten!

there in this thread on like page 3 or 4

I saw the picture of her braidout, but her braidout doesn't look like it was done on 4a/b hair. Are you sure she's not 3a/b? I would like to see her hair in her unmanipulated shrunken state too.

and what are you doing?

 

[SerenavanderWoodsen]

OP to end all this unecessary drama can we see more pics that will convince us who are skeptical????... or if not then LET US FORGET IT since we cant PROVE anything and honestly if we're gonna take advice wed' rather have more evidence, im speaking for those who arent 100% sure,, lets not fret over it please

 

[mytia]

Wow! Her hair is really gorgeous!

 

[PaperClip]

Asking questions. Seeking answers. From the source, not you. So unless you meet the OP and her friend, run your fingers through her hair washed, unwashed, checking for tracks or otherwise, you are merely a passive observer and your perspective has little to no bearing on my participation here.

 

[MrsQueeny]

WTH... this thread is ridiculous!

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...

For real goodness gracious!!! Q

 

[Poohbear]

I agree. I KNOW my hair is type 4, and the natural part of my straightened hair is very similar in texture to her straightened hair. Also, is it possible that she did a braidout on pressed hair? I've done braidouts when my flat ironed hair starts to puff up, and they looked like that since I didn't start wet.

At any rate, her hair is gorgeous!

This is what I started thinking after skimming through the thread. My pressed hair braidouts/twistouts do look different than my nappy hair braidouts/twistouts.

ITA, why grill the OP about ole girl's hair? The thread was meant only to post pics of a recruit, someone who could possibly join in the future.

Only eye candy peoples

 

[lilamae]

this is my last post on this thread ( and possibly on lhcf)....i will not be inviting morgan or any other girls to this website. I sent her the link to this post and I am sure she is like WTF?

I was just tryna share but everyone wants to accuse, dissect, evaluate, re-evaluate, make claims, refute etc etc. So unnecessary.

y'all carry on. Thanks to those who showed her some love

 

[SerenavanderWoodsen]

Nope she is not a type 3. Her is not naturally curly.To acheive curls she must do a braidout. The natural pic attached is a super old braidout. Dont want to discourage the types 4's. This is a full black girl (not mixed) with really nice hair​

, what do u mean exactly by super old??? the fashions shes presenting do not look super old at all,, that plaid jacket look with sweater dress is awfully current.. LOL LOL im sorry i had to ask.....???

 

[kweenameena]

Her hair is gorgeous!!! It looks like a lot of the ethiopian girls' hair around here. She def. doesn't look like a 4 anything. But if she is....where do I sign up?

To the OP: Do you have any freshly washed pics of her hair? People want to know so they can be inspired not to be mean. I would love to follow her regimen to get my hair straight if she has hair like mine...but if not, I don't want to set unrealistic goals for myself.

 

[Nay]

Y'all are

Lilamae, thanks for sharing the pics of your friend's hair. Don't bother trying to get photos of it in it's "just washed" state because someone will still swear that it is not what they believe 4a hair is supposed to look like, no matter how kinky, curly, dry, afro it might be.

(I bet you wish you wouldn't have bothered starting this thread)

 

[senimoni]

I understand that people have questions or want to clarify but jeez the tone in many of these responses are ridiculous.....OP I suggest you leave and no longer respond to this thread, its a lose lose situation.....seriously.

That said I think your friends hair is beautiful, 6a,4b,3c or whatever it is.

 

[Poohbear]

I never said anything about her being mixed but yet you keep harping on the point that she's not mixed which automatically equals long hair. I could care less if she's mixed or not. I don't subscribe to that school of thought. Everybody who has type 3 hair is not mixed. Just like everybody who has type 4 hair is not necessarily black either. I know that. I'm not talking about that first braid out picture. I'm talking about the picture you posted later that said it was a wash and go. Type 4's have massive shrinkage. If that was a wash and go, she must have virtually no shrinkage to her hair when it gets wet in order for it to hang to her shoulders while curly. That's what made me think it was a braid out, twist out, etc and not a wash and go.

Also, some type 4's do have curls or have "naturally curly" hair like you mentioned. They're just small curls. I'm a 4a with curls but my curls are small like pencil/coffee stirrer size which categorizes type 4 hair. And my hair is curly when it is wet. It's curly when it's dry. But it's not loose curly like your friends hair appears to be in these pictures. And that's the point I was trying to make. How can she not have hardly any shrinkage with a wash and go? Shoot, spill the beans because I need to know how to do it too. Shrinkage can be a b!tch.

I AGREE with everything you have said!!! Mixed doesn't always mean looser hair texture and I didn't see anyone here ask if she was mixed.

And type 4 hair has more shrinkage than type 3 hair and her hair looks like it doesn't have hardly any shrinkage.
