Why don't you like the results? I'd like to know because I am considering switching from relax to texlax.

I just broke down and got some Mason Pearson combs for that VERY reason. They are handmade, seam free combs. Not cheap, not cheap in any way, shape, or form, but I figured they are more than worth the money, as they are supposed to last roughly forever.

Right now, I'm using a black plastic shower comb, a Jilbere, a horn comb and my Denman.

hmmm - I don't think I am 4 b - after looking at other heads.

WHERE HAVE I BEEN? I have different textures but I qualify myself as a 4b, but who knows. Look at the siggy and you tell me! But anyway, PROUD FIERCE 4B HERE!!!!!!!

Based on what I can see from your pics, you look like 3c with maybe a few 4a hairs here and there.

I was just looking at them on amazon it they look like they run in the 20 buck range. i'm tempted...no seams...hm, thinking, thinking...okay let me try a couple. and who knows, i may get somee more...i'm just so ready to throw away these raggedy combs.

You can either buy a seamless comb, or you can take a file or sand paper and sand down the seams on your plastic comb.

I use these two bone combs.

You all have some beautiful hair!
I am part 4b!

 

[iff479]

Im a natural 4b who needs all types of advice. I wore braids for 18 months, cut the relaxer out and started using Hollywood beauty olive cholesterol, MTG w/ scurl mix on days I left my hair in a bun. Organic hair mayonnaise w/honey once a month, shampoo, deep condition, condition and rinse out leave in condition (whew):} with Bumble & Bumble when I wanted to flat iron my hair, and finally thanks to Que I now use pantene deep conditioning mask twice a week, man that stuff leaves my hair sooo soft! I love it. My hair is kneck length and I would love to be shoulder length by christmans. Do you think thats possible? Can you advise me please?!!!!

You all know that there is another community specifically for 4b, called c-napp, right?

 

[sunshinelady]

I'm 4b, transitioning from texlaxed. I've got a question. Does everyone else have a defined wave pattern if their hair is slicked down, but none at all through the length? That's how my hair grows and I don't know if that means I am really 4a or just what. I have no defined curl pattern, just lots of waves at the root.

Maybe I have a teeny tiny wave pattern if I pull my hair back. My hair is far too thick to be "slicked down". I don't know if this is what you mean:
