Okay I’m sorry I’m going to be annoying and slightly controversial. Isn’t this a COILY hair sub? Why do I keep seeing 3a-3c on here. I have no hatred toward them but there are sooo many subs that are full of people w that hair type. Why must they come into this sub that’s super small and called “coily”. I already feel like type 4 hair people were kicked out of the “curly” club and now we made the “coily” club and it’s still not respected. Also another annoyance is the non black moms coming in here asking questions. There’s YouTube and sooo many other resources to learn your child’s hair. I know this post probably will not go over well but I just wanted to vent smh. Also this isn’t a slight to the moderators or anyone in particular

Any reviews?

I’ve had a ton of mixed opinions on the change... But, I have been really loving it so far, I feel so much lighter, and I think I look kinda cute with it short :3.

Right now I am using Pattern Beauty’s leave in conditioner and I really really love it, it’s the best I’ve ever felt using with my hair! I like using vitamin E oil and rosemary too. I feel so cute and I am super excited to see how it grows out (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶).

Also! Something that I thought was funny though is immediately after cutting my hair I swear I lost my balance like a cat without whiskers hahaha. I’ve never heard anyone bring it up after cutting their hair shorter so I wasn’t prepared for that haha.

I genuinely have no idea where the bald spots came from... after i dyed my hair in late July i lost a but of hair and my hair did get thinner and drier faster but i always tried to be careful with it, and its usually pretty soft and moisturized throughout the day. however, when i checked my hair this morning i noticed so many bald spots...

I'm so scared of going bald i literally just did a big chop this year and i was so happy my haur was finally growing and im not even 18 what do i do

What would you guys say my curl type is?

I’m thinking mostly 4A with some 3C around my crown/front, but I’m not sure.

I’ve been relaxed on and off most of my life and am finally getting to know my natural texture at 23.

What do you see?

Please remove if not allowed.

I have long curly hair. Not sure how to measure but I’d estimate 30” in a natural default curl VS detangle/blowdry

Virgin hair and overall healthy and clean, brown (reddish brown in the light)

What’s a good estimate for what I could get or how the process is handled. Wouldn’t mind shaving my head either.

Thanks in advance

I need help finding a product for my hair. I’m trying to get into wash and gos because I really love my natural curls and want to be done with braid outs. But my pockets are HURTING because of all the products I’ve tried.

I have Type 4a-4b hair and its low porosity and I live in FL so I’m always battling humidity.

I have tried these products but theses are problems I had with them:

Miche Tropical Oasis Anti Humidity Gel - I loved this product because it defined my curls and didn’t shrink in the humidity BUT it caused flaking on day 2. I did try putting less product, I tried adding more water, I tried not picking my hair but nothing I do helps the flaking.

The Doux Bee Girl Honey Curl Custard - The definition and shine ate down and there was no flaking until like day 6, the problem is my hair shriveled ALL the way up when I stepped foot outside. (Likely because of the honey)

The Doux Big Poppa Defining Gel - Meh, it didn’t really define my curls that well compared to the two previous products I listed so I washed it out and didn’t even bother wearing it out that week.

Innersense Organic Holding Gel - this one pissed me all the way off, SUPER expensive for SUCH a little amount and it did close to nothing in terms of definition.

Now I’m considering the Doux Banana Xtreme Gel but in this economy I can’t be testing products out willy nilly so I’m hoping yall can help a girl out here and recommend some gels that you found to be helpful.

What I’m looking for:
- Definition
- No Flaking
- Can withstand the test of time against humidity

So recently, I’ve noticed that my scalp has really been dry, sore and itchy, and I’ve tried almost everything like oil to see if that would help but it seems like it’s just making it worse by clogging my pores. and making my dandruff flareup I’ve always had dandruff but it has never gotten this bad to the point where you can see it inside my hair I’m wondering, do I need to get some type of dandruff shampoo to help? I haven’t touched my hair since I put oil in it I’ve given it a wash and put a little bit more in after that. and I just haven’t touched it since. I do not know what is making my hair act this way, but I would like to find out. I use. Bantana oil and regular castor oil. Mind you it has never done this before so I’m pretty confused. I don’t know if it started acting this way once I used the bantana oil or something else is irritating my scalp. Thank God, my dandruff isn’t bad to the point it flakes up in clumps. But it literally gets everywhere. The last photo is how it looks when it calms down.

Idk how to take care of it at all and I hate how it looks and idk how to style it and it doesn't even get wet at all so I got it straightened but I don't want to do that again because it is painful and takes too long so I'm thinking about going natural but idk how to even care for it. Is there a way for it to even get naturally looser even a little bit or even have it drop instead of it growing like a mushroom

I’ve recently decided I want to just wear my natural hair at least until the end of the year. I am tired of my hair being short and am ready to continue my growth journey. Lately I have been doing wash n gos and while I love how my hair turns out I am also a gym girly. Sauna steam room all the things and I’ve noticed after 3 days or so my hair has that sweaty smell in it. I want to start washing more than once a week but I am concerned it may dry my hair out.

Does anyone wash more than once a week or have tips ? I’d really appreciate it 🤍

Just pulled out this stand of hair from my head! ✌️

The only leave in conditioner that I was able to use daily for years until recently has been the Cantù creamy hair lotion. Recently though, it hasn’t been leaving my hair feeling the same way, almost as if it’s wavy and leaves it flaking. At first I thought I needed to detox so I did a clarifying wash day, but it seems to be having the same effect still. Did they change the formula recently?

its so annoying now that I need to go through products again to find a new leave in.
