Oh brother, I'm getting tired of her "I have to prove my hair" videos. She needs to start making videos on tutorials, and product reviews like the rest of the yt natural hair channels.

I may be wrong, but I think she started out doing that, and people started inundating her with questions about her hair type and telling her that her hair type was x, y, or z. From what I've seen, she doesn't use that many products, so maybe she doesn't have much to talk about on the review front. She's mainly a hair porn goddess. But hey, I can dig it.

Her dry hair falls closer to the 4B category, but she has coarse, heavy individual strands that cause her hair to hang down and have less shrinkage. Most 4Bs have fine strands that stand up and shrink onto themselves and need heavy products to coax it to hang a little. That would explain why her hair looks so different than others because it has the coarseness associated with straighter hair but a kinky texture.

I guess it is true. Her 4B is not my 4B.

I definitely agree. Not that this makes a difference (but by way of example), her unmanipulated hair looks just like my stretched out 4b hair, except with a bit more of a curl pattern in some places.

Her hair reminds me of this FABULOUS wig that I once saw online but I didn't order cuz I thought it would look too wiggy :perplexed :lol: Some of us are just lucky I guess :)

I voted 4a/4b btw.
 
I went back and forth between 3a/4a, 4a, and 4a/b. But I voted 4a. Her hair is kinky, so that makes it a 4, but its not tightly coil and it does hang, so I said 4a. My mother has hair exactly like her's, length and texture, but not thickness and my mother is about a 4a/4b. Mostly, 4a.
 
I voted 3c/4a using the much coveted '"Eeny, meeny, miny, moe" system out of frustration I admit that it's less than an educated guess but her hair turned everything I thought I knew about hair typing on its head.
 
For people claiming she is in the 3s, where the hell are her spiral, softer curls? Look at the video from 3:30 to 4:00.

People who are not 4B, ESPECIALLY those in the 3 category cant stand the fact that Chime's hair looks better than their own. So they demote her to a lower hair category. Remember not all, but a lot them do this.

Oh. The way it was typed, I think a word was missing or something. I type hair based on the curl tightness NOT on silkiness and all that. There are kinky type 2's and 3's whose hair is afroey looking while still having a loose texture and there are silky/fine type 4 with really tight curls. I saw a video of her and she shows her naked wet hair in it around 4:30.

That is not type 4.:spinning: She doesn't seem to define her hair much.

hair isn't supposed to be typed on wet hair though...water weighs it down, in addition to the fact that she washes her stretched hair in braids/twists. her hair throughout the recent video is what people should type her by because its unmanipulated, product free, unstretched, and dry.

hmmmmmm, i dunno about that. Many people with naked, dry hair have a totally different texture than wet and naked. I think wet and naked is the most accurate. Nobody wears their hair naked and most people never see it or keep it in that state except for type 1's.

I did my nieces friend's hair this weekend. naked, it looked like a thinner version of that girls hair. As soon as the water hit it, 3b/c ringlets. I detangled it, put a leave in and sealed and it was a totally different head.
 
Let me tell yall something that girl has some FO type haya on ha head...

She only wear twists out so her hair is always stretched out...and even after she washes the constant twist outs keep her hair stretched and hold the pattern...

DONT HATE PARTICIPATE wear ur hair in twists out constantly and ur hair will stay stretched out as well but the length and weight also add to this

She's either a kinky/course 2c or a 4-something with no shrinkage but I'm not entirely sure which one to pick. I'm leaning towards kinky 2c but in that facebook pic posted in the old thread it really does look like blown out type 4 hair. I know this sounds crazy but I wish I could see like a single strand of her hair close up.

but wouldnt the best way to type hair be the way it grows out of your head which is dry and product free? people might not wear their hair naked, but thats how it grows from their head, which is what is supposed to be "typed"...and hair isn't naturally wet either...my wet naked hair is looser and silker looking than my dry naked hair, but my dry naked hair isn't that different from my dry hair with product except product makes it less frizzier and slightly more clumpish...detangling is different because it separates the curls and makes it look more fro-ish, but if you let your niece's friend's hair dry without combing/brushing it, and she's 3b/c then she should still have visible curls when dry, even without product.

But in the other thread it was mostly people with type 4 hair that were saying she wasn't a type 4.
 
Waaaaait I wanna change my vote! She did have some looser s-curls even when dry so I just saw 3c/4a and put that (I just woke up!) but I really think it's 4a/b/3c...lol.

SND411 It's funny you say that b/c in the other thread it seems that many of the people saying that she was not a 4 were in the 4b category.

not necessarily true at the bolded. I have seen many a type 3 with afro looking hair annd once it's wet or has product (condish, gel, etc) then u see the curl pattern. For example, look at a lot of kids (usually the ones with moms who don't know what to do with their hair). Unless the hair is REALLY loose, their hair when they are small is usually a big, puffy fro. It's usually not until these kids get bigger that u will see big defined curly fros. Many of us on here in kid pics have big, fluffy 4b looking hair. It wasn't until we got to LHCF or late adolescence that many discovered they had "curly" hair. If most typed their hair based on nakedness, there would be a whole lot more type 4's.

I just notice in every hair typing thread, the stringent, totally naked hair thing only applies to type 4 looking hair.:look:
 
Oh, I read that thread. I have my own conclusions on why 4B women do this. Doesnt dissolve the fact that women with looser curls do the same.

I guess it can go both ways but it's certainly not what I observed in that thread for the most part.
 
Who gives a flyin fig puck what her hair type is. Her hair is beautiful and those who think different got some serious hateration going on. The last thing haters need to be doing is sitting in front of a computer trying to bring somebody else down anyway. They need to log offline and try to make themselves better so they dont have a reason to be hatin so hard. #realtak
