Her hair has that "swang"!
my grandmother's hair was similar to this youtuber's hair. She could wash her hair and plait it and it would air dry kind of straight with waves from the braids. My grandmothers hair had texture but it was very easy to comb/brush her curl pattern out.

And it stayed the same after she wet it?
Glycerine attracts moisture to your hair which results in reversion. She's baggying her hair multiple times per week with a glycerine mix.
that would be the closest description but her hair was a cottony, fluffy 2c/3a not silky at all
Kurlee said:what about her hair looks suspect?
That's what I want to know. Looks like she was rocking twist outs but nothing out the ordinary. And even if she is relaxed, she's killing it. And she's been natural 4 years and is WL. That's a pretty average growth rate. I swear, sometimes yall do the absolute most.
Not to be antagonistic, but I knew as soon as I read this post that she was a dark skinned woman. No one ever seems to question someone's hair texture if they have lighter skin. Just an observation .....
I didn't look at all of her videos, but my hair acts like that - it's low porosity so it takes longer to absorb things. Just putting a moisturizer on my stretched out curls will not automatically cause them to spring up especially since my curl pattern is looser. The video I saw where she wet it was on a twist out and it looks like her texture is silky from root to tip. We didn't see her hair after it sat for a minute so I assume it "reverted" after a while.
I'm not being defensive, I just know how my hair is so I'm not ready to call bs based on that alone. I do think it's strange that her hair stayed so straight when she put that dc on, but like I said it probably reverted later. I straightened my hair then doused it in coconut oil and was surprised it stayed straight until I actually washed it. Her conditioner contains water so if she's natural it would revert from that.
I need to see more videos of that hair and probably see her washing it to be convinced.
do you think this has to do with how thick the hair strands are? I find with my hair, the finer strands are easy to get straight by brushing or using heavy products (grease, gel, etc). The crown, which has thicker strands curls up if you sneeze on it.You described my grandmother's hair. She used blue magic grease so her would stay straight even when wet. The only time it would curl was when her hair was stripped by a strong shampoo.
Kurlee said:oh, someone pointed this out already? ok, cool. Yup, that's where I suspect the suspicion is coming from
I don't know if it's skin color per se because I see it with the LS girls too. People around here are quick just to discredit someone's eles' hair journey if they aren't a member (she lying, has so and so texture, she's relaxed, her grandmama white, she had hair as a kid, she has a split end right there, etc) but then turn around and create a thread when someone IRL does the same to them. Some people can actually have healthy hair without LHCF.
My hair is similar, my curls are easy to brush out, however when I do the same thing a couple of times a week (moisturize and seal) I mist with the spray bottle and some of it does start to curl up, but just a little and I use NO heat whatsoever. But my hair is very curly/coily no heat damage. I basically stretch my hair all week in a bun, hardly wear it down. By the end of the week most of my curl is gone and it looks like I have a light blow-out. Its obviously not straight straight, but super stretched. ESPECIALLY if I have used shea butter, that stuff is so heavy on my hair lol. If I put water to it though it obviously starts to curl and is very coily straight out of the shower if I choose to leave it that way. I usually do a curly pony the first couple days then that evolves into a top knot and then I comb, brush my curls out and stretch it in bun, changing the position every couple of days... so like someone said her hair is probably super stretched and there is the possibility of heat damage but who knows
But she does have beautiful hair love it!
