I think 4c is "supposed" to represent extremely coily/kinky hair that lacks definition i.e. curls and "s". This type of hair is usually defined by "z" shapes in the strand. Think of hair that looks like a cottony cloud.

Hair typing makes me .

I even Hear people refer to themselves as 4zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

So, I can't even imagine what that would be. (And don't want to)

 

[Americka]

Well there are actually quite a few videos geared to the 4C hair type on youtube. I watched a couple but they didn't enlighten me but I started to think that maybe it's the same as what they call cnapp which has its own website. I will find the link and put it in this post. I'm definitely not a 4C but I do like learning new things.

Agreed. I believe 4c=4z=5a=cnapp. Don't quote me though!

 

[Shay72]

I agree Americka .

Here is the link:

It doesn't look right when it loads put you can still click on things and look through. She has a blog too.

I have no idea why they made up a hair system. I just say im natural now. I don't claim a hair number no more if someone asks im a 9v.

Okay I just saw something that referenced a cnapp as 4B texture. As LC would say *throws in towel*

 

[Shay72]

Okay now back to our regulary scheduled program....

 

[Americka]

I understand the "general" idea of hair typing, but people should not adhere to it as if it is some kind of regimented system. Some people do not take into account two things in particular i.e. multi-textured heads and heads that undergo texture changes due to illness, medicine, oral supplements, and physiological changes. Too often, it is used to further subdivide us and that bothers me.

We as black women do this to ourselves. I've been all over this forum and can barely handle going into the entertainment forum because alot of these woman get off on tearing down other women. That tells me a lot about someone.

Yes by the time you get done thinking about it you will be dazed and confused.

Myhoneychild! That was the site!

 

[Charz]

Charz, I meant to tell you that your twists in your siggy are very pretty. I wish my twists were thick like that!

Thank you

I wish my twist were thick as my mother's. She has 4b hair and her twists last for ages!

My mother went natural a year before I did, so I need to catch up with her, she is already APL. And she trims every time she twists!

 

[Charz]

I just finished using the my honey child organic shampoo, honey bee conditioner and the organic deep conditioner. I don't think my hair liked the products because my ends started to stick together and needed some serious detangling. I have about two more uses and I'll be done with it. I'll see how my hair feels when it's done drying.

Oh wow, thanks for further aiding in my decision to NOT get MHC

I'm surprised so many people still buy from her considering all the nightmare reviews and problems that have been discussed on here about My Honey Child.

I so agree with this. I don't get into it. I just go by straight,wavy,curly, and SUPA curly. Period.

Well I guess you know where I will be on Monday at 4pm...

Do you have a brown wig cap or black? In some of the wig threads the ladies use the mens scull cap to keep their hair moisturized. Its smoother than a wig cap and it stretches. That's where i got the idea to buy one for my wraps.

Yes, the wig cap is Brown. I will pick up some Black Men's Wave Cap sometime as well.

It's on the bottom left when you are in your cart. Code: hairluv

My stuff shipped quickly. When I notified her of a mistake they quickly fixed it. The products were nicely packaged and smelled fresh. I just did not like them for my hair. I research and ultimately I will do what I want regardless of what the crowd says. If that was the case I would never order from Hairveda .

 

[mkd]

Thanks Shay! I don't know how I missed that.

 

[Charz]

David used up:

Millcreek Botanicals Jojoba Conditioner
Millcreek Botanicals Keratin Conditioner

I don't use this smilie often but you know you gotta pay for your stufflol.

Yes, the wig cap is Brown. I will pick up some Black Men's Wave Cap sometime as well.

Is the wig scalp flesh colored or see through? If its flesh colored you can get away with the black but if its see through you may have to find a tan,brown or light colored cap.

Adding to this wonderful list, body frostings and whips. And the shea butter body creams. Its so much to choose from its madness.

 

[♥Lamaravilla♥]

Thanks for the recommendations! What about scents? What are some the scent options Jasmines has that you ladies like?

 

[mkd]

Anyone use Jasmine's facial moisturizers? I think I am going to get the night time one. Neither has any sunscreen and I need that for a daytime moisturizer.
