What's your hair type I follow a bunch of different YouTubers. I might have one in my list that fits what you are looking for.

I thought I was 4a. According to what I thought, if you could visible see the curl from a distance and you have tye 4 hair, it's probably 4a. Now, I don't even know no more. People are just sticking any ol' combination of letters on their yt pages.
I just found a new channel and I think she's my hair twin. My hair actually looks just like this right this second because I forgot to pineapple last night.
It would be nice to find a few more, though. She has a whole lot of shrinkage, so it looks like her hair never grows. My whole point is, I wanna see it from short to long. *sigh*

I think I'm 4a as well. I do a similar routine with wetting in the morning. I just don't do as much water. I feel I have at least 50-75% shrinkage. My hair will probably be mid back or waist length before it looks long.I thought I was 4a.

All loced up...
Yes, lawd! I have been trying to do the exact same thing. I think I'm a 4-abc, emphasis on the c with major shrinkage. The way my hair shrinks it will have to be down to my a$$ just to get to shoulder length dry. What type are you?

Does anyone else notice that their hair seems to hold more moisture if you let it air dry while in braids? This may become my new drying technique. This morning I washed my hair before work so I put it in a ponytail put 2 braids in the ponytail and then wrapped the braids around the base to make a bun.

Twisted without tools, clips or combs and did a light finger detangle. Lightly oiled my scalp and massaged my hairline and nape. Wash day tomorrow supposedly but I think I'll be changing wash day to Sunday's.

Mostly 4a, like, 3/4 of my head. The rest is 4b/c/?.
I don't think I have a lot of shrinkage, though, cuz looking at the vid I posted, her hair is mad long, but the way it shrinks up, it looks like my length (NL). Meanwhile, my hair is NL and shrinks to NL. And I don't think it'll shrink more as it grows because I just cut it back from around SL and it actually looked SL.

Wore my hair twisted to work today, wasn't feeling the extra manipulation of untwisting from lastnight. I'm making it a point to be more gentle with my hair, hence my decision to stop using combs and brushes. Lord be with me.

Just ordered some Entwine Creme Jelly styler to see if it will help my braid outs be more defined and less frizzy.
Need to try a braid or twist out with the Big Chop clip ins I ordered. I wore them as regular clips last week but I didnt LOVE them - I think I MAY need another pack which sucks. Im gonna try to make em work before I spend another $150.

Well, I have to tell someone. I think you ladies are the only ones who will TRULY understand.
Today my boss gave me an opened bottle of conditioner. She just randomly asked me yesterday if I use conditioner? (UM OF COURSE!! lol) She says she has some she is going to give me. I ask her what brand. She says she doesn't remember. Today, when I get to work there's a huge bottle of Paul Mitchell Detangler Conditioner. The bottle looks..... unclean. And on top of that I just DO NOT TRUST HER. She has some weird fixation on my hair, constantly staring at it... I guess I should mention I am the only BW in the side of the office she works on. I wear wash n go's usually so my hair is different. She has asked me how I get my hair "like that" and told me I'm "lucky" to have hair like this instead of the other kind (i.e 4b etc) Yes, I shut her down. Not everyone aspires to a Eurocentric idea of beauty.
Huhhh but back to this conditioner. I'll probably just pour it down the drain. I can so see her giving me years old conditioner.. And I'm paranoid from you ladies' stores about hair sabotage.

I would definitely throw it out! Sounds like a hair hater to me!

Beware! At leastfor me dropping the comb proved be a mistake. Being a normal to heavy shedder lots of hair stayed trapped in my fine 4c. The ssk and broken hair was insane. No comb and finger detangle only contributed to a set back for me. I know it works for many but... keep an eye out.

I don't like to say this but there could be Nair in that stuff or some liquid relaxer or worse. I wouldn't trust her either. There's more reasons but I wo t get into that here PM me if you want.
You can
1 Just dump it but she will keep giving you stuff like your some charity case.
So if she gives you more stuff which she probably won't tell her thanks but no thanks you're good.
or
2 you can give it back to her saying I don't use used stuff on my hair that other people give to me whether new but especially not used. You use certain organic black owned stuff etc. Tell her thanks but no thanks.
And put an end to it right there it's not rude you didn't ask her for her old funky used conditioner anyways.
And look her in the eye when you say it too.

Thank you, I am definitely going to tell her I have more than enough stuff so will not be accepting anything else. And my first thought was, the charity case thing too. She tells everyone she's a liberal, and I think she wants to recreate her own "BLINDSIDE/insert movie where yt savior helps poor bp".
I just started this job a couple months ago.. so I didn't want to make a bad impression. My first thought was the Nair thing... Something about her rubs me the wrong way.
I thought it was kind of arrogant of her to even think that I would want her old nasty conditioner.

You don't have to be stank to make the point. You could just tell her, 'No thank you, I'm 'fancy'. I only use natural handmade stuff, and Paul Mitchell ain't it. But thank you for thinking about me, though...'
