This lady is funnnay! She has a point - whenever anyone mentions long 4b hair, the same few names are thrown out. I can't begin to even count the longhaired type 3s I've known IRL and see on the Internet - at least 20 right off the top of my head.
"...you f*** natural hair people, you're like in a f*** gang or cult or some s*** leave me the F*** alone"
LMFAOPIMP!!!!!!!!!!! I lost it! Hysterical!!! I wanted to leave her a comment, but it didn't go through :-(
I never post videos like this because I know the poor person is going to get e-ganged up on
Have to disagree with you there. I have 3c/4a mix. I have the definition of the 3 girls but all the drama of the 4 girls. When I started my journey, I couldn't find a 3c/4a girl to save my life!! I've broken brushes, combs, clips, etc.But in all seriousness, I do get where she's coming from (I just don't approve of HOW the message was being relayed). Type 3 hair isn't as susceptible to single strand knots, frequent breakage, and dryness compared to type 4 hair. That doesn't mean that a person with type 3 hair might not experience those things, but it sure is more likely to happen to a person with type 4 hair. Because type 3 hair doesn't have as tight a curl pattern as type 4, it can withstand abuse and still grow. I don't think watching people with type 3 hair is relevant to me either.I'm just sayin'! xD

There is nothing ok about thatWow she had one of them "ignant" moments. There are plenty of 4bs on YT that grew hair long. RusticBeauty is one of them I can name off the top of my head. Other than that, her speech was funny to me, and she resembles Paul mooney to me a lot.
Yall... she just uploaded another one about 45 mins ago... no comment on it
YouTube - Before u natural hair girls JUDGE ....Watch this n shut the hell up !
I don't take the video seriously. It seems to be a joke.
As for the type 3 vs. 4 debate....
Yes, type 4 hair is more coily, has more bends (and points of weakness), is generally harder to detangle and tends to be more dry and can take less trauma.
However, I don't get why it's so upsetting. It is what it is. If you know the structure of hair, then all of this is fact.
If you have type 4 hair... that's what God/Genetics gave you. Work with it. IMO it's not a curse. You just really need to be on top of it. Instead of complaining and comparing your hair to people with a different hairtype, do what you need to do to make your hair flourish (if that is your desire)
If you have type 3 hair... yes, our hair is different. This in no way should be taken as an insult. Just a fact. Doesn't mean that type 3's have no issues with their hair.
The one that is really crazy to me is type 4a vs. 4b. It's almost like some 4b's want to make it out that their hair is "the worst" or some type of curse. Not even other type 4's know anything of "their pain."
I feel that it's human nature to divide and get an "us vs. them" mentality for practically everything. It's SAD.
I didn't get that from her all. She is describing her frustrations with her hair. She acknowledges that she doesn't know how to care for it and she is asking for videos from people who have had similar experiences with their hair to help. She may have phrased her request in a let's say unconventional way. But I'm not seeing the self hatred here. It's not like she's asking how to make her 4b hair look like 3c. She just wants to grow her hair.what annoys me is that people make type 4 hair sound like it's inherently bad or weak. Or that it's not authentic unless it exhibits "negative" qualities. It is very possible that the wrong methods are being used to care for the hair. Before i found the hair boards, the texture of my hair was different and the detangling was a nightmare. Now with the newfound knowledge my texture is totally different and I can detangle with my fingers alone in maybe ten minutes. The big difference some moisture and regular conditioning can make. No pain, no nothing. I used to have dry scalp and since i started using GOOD products and stopped using mineral oil, i don't even have to pay attention to my scalp, anymore. I think self-hatred and ignorance as to how to care for your hair type, fuels a lot of the frustration and perceptions about "bad" type 4 hair. 9 times out of 10, it's how the person treats their hair that makes it "bad", "nappy" and or "little nubs". Hair grows no matter what you do, that's why u need touch ups. It's how you treat it, that decides whether or not u keep it.
