I believe this womans hair is in the 4 range. She did say that she blowdries and presses her hair, so maybe thats why (in combinaton with the weight of all that hair) it appears wavy while wet.
She blows out her hair and some pics look like she's pressed or flat ironed. She says she doesn't do that as much, in one of the videos, but she does do it. So maybe that's what you're thinking about.
She said she blows her hair out only once a month and flat irons twice a year, I really doubt thats enough to alter 4a texture hair to looking like 3c from root to tip like it does in her BC video. The bottom half of my strands look like a super tight 3C and that only happened because I was a straightened natural (blowdrying, pressing and flatironing) for like 3-4 years non-stop. Blowing out my 4a hair every 1-2 weeks all through my childhood and occasional pressing never changed my texture or the texture of any of my 4a friends growing up.
As for the laying down, I'm a 4a too and you'll see as your hair gets longer that it will stretch out.
Anythings possible, but I don't think that'll happen with my hair I think when my hair gets to my goal length and it has its texture in tact it will look like
RusticBeauty's Hair
her hair is MBL and still shrinks into a fro. I'm 3 inches shy of MBL and my hair still shrinks into an above the shoulder fro so I highly doubt any drastic changes will occur with just 4-5 inches.
And if I use a denman (I was amazed at how my hair layed). I mean it was so smooth, that when I pony set I didn't even have to flat iron or blow dry my roots. It was just heat protectant lacio lacio and some coconut oil to seal. I don't use t he denman anymore because I noticed hair loss. Too bad or else I would be on it! my fine hair just can't take it even though it's very dense. I have tons of hair imitating thickness but the individual strands are not thick. So what I thought was "shed hair" was my hair!
If not, I would be a denman brusher!
lmfaooo!!
girl I feel you on the denman note!! I tried that bad boy when doing some twists and its really hit or miss but overall I'm none too pleased with the shedding....unecessary hairloss is not a good look
and I have thick/coarse strands so its not just you girl! I think that brush is a bit harsh myself
She must not workout. I couldn't imagine washing my hair once a month with all the classes I teach. My hair would smell let alone itch like hell.
I thought you maybe had heard wrong or confused a word or somethin when I read this post and I went to go watch her regimen video myself, YEP you heard right. Different people's hair like different things I guess she says she can get away with it because she has dry scalp.
I can see how maybe that would help her gain length I mean that's definitely low manipulation but um yea......not washing for a month every month...thats just not a good look for me
you start stankin after 2 weeks, in my experience. I don't worm out now but I've found its important for your health to sweat and be healthy and its important to keep the scalp clean I feel but I think sometime leaving it alone to grow can be good too....all I know is its DEFINITELY workin for her! her hair is absolutely movie star GAWJUS!!
Gorgeous hair!!!! Subscribing.
I don't think she's 4a though. Pinkskates is who I think of when I think of WL 4a hair that shrinks to tight curls when wet.

COULDN'T agree with you more
I went back and looked at her progression over the years. I think she's 3C to 4A because if she were a straight 3c could she do an afro puff like that?
Yes!! They're the tightest curls of the 3 family their hair has the potential for alot of volume. Some 3c's can even rock a curly fro. 3C's are tight small curls, but
curls is the operative word NOT tight pen spring sized coils. They have curls or waves that are visible to the eyes when you're 4a your curl is not visually identifiable unless you manipulate it into a style like comb coils or a straw set like what I did on the left side of my siggy.
Anyway, her hair looks like it's been heat trained like pinkskates. This really makes me want to do a length check but I know me, the minute I get off this site the urge leaves me. I'm lazy.
Nah, when your hair is heat trained you have like annoying straight patches in some places and inconsistent curls because it isn't your natural curl, PinkSkates is a true 4a though
All of this is imho of course!!
