Thank you so much for making this video! I am also a 4c. You made this video over a year ago and it is still difficult to find styles for 4c hair. I absolutely love this style!
I love your hair, i am going to try this on my hair since i finally have the length...keep it coming! I also love the song of choice by Keisha Cole...Jamming...:))) peace n blesssings...
You know what, I have 3c hair so I can't relate to some of the struggles of my 4c sistas but Im so happy that you are able to work with your hair because my cousin has 4c hair and she struggles and it hurts me because I don't know how to sooth her pain. Im going to most definetly show her this video so she may be inspired by your work. Thank you soooo much for posting this.
I've been nature for two years since the end of March. You have to be comfortable with your own process. So, if that works best for you until you get to the point where you want to see your hair completely out and nature, you'll go for it! Good luck and keep me posted.
Job well done with your hair. I'm a 4C, I think (Whatever that means, lol) Anyway, my hair is similar to your texture, but have not grown out to your length because i have recently done the BC. I am loving my 4C hair, I am trying Cloth handbands to add a little umph until my hair grows a little longer, and you have allowed me to look forward to that, so Thank You. :-)
@sydoneyblake You should use satin or nylon or silk headbands instead. The cloth headbands will absorb the moisture from you hair and when your hair isn't moisturized it will break off. Believe me i had to learn the hard way. My edges were very short compared to the rest of my hair and i had to cut my hair all off so that it was even all over.
@sydoneyblake I appreciate your comment. Kanani04 is right; not only are the nylon and silk headbands less likely to damage your hair as the cloth headbands, I actually think they look better too. Keep me posted on your journey!

My pics are on my facebok and they are from last year. I am going to a play on Sat, so I will get some pics to you. How long have you been natural? I started in Aug of 2010. I refused to do the chop. I wore weaves and trimmed. Rollers sets and trimmed. I still have some relaxer in 2 small sections. I will keep trimming until its gone.
@mzaprilification Ok...I would love to see the pictures; I haven't been on Facebook in a few years. I will have been natural for 2 years in late March. I've cut my hair since this video; so, it's a twa again. I understand why you don't want to chop it completely off (although I had a brush cut to start). For a long time no one even knew I was natural, because I would wear wigs and weaves, but that all stopped when I discovered the inspirational natural sistas on YouTube. Keep me posted!
@sonamand Yeah... I didn't realize I was even going to post anything until I had already completed the style. When my hair grows out again (I 2nd BCed), I will surely depict the process. Thanks for the comment!
I have three textures in my hair (one of which is 4C). I enjoyed this video and look forward to more so I will have more direction when my mini TWA grows out. Definitely subscribed! Take care.
This video is so inspiring . I have 4c hair and i live in UK. the whole going natural thing is not very popular here yet. Could you pleas do a video on how you get your baby hairs to lie so flat cause mine won't. Thanks and stay blessed
@e1hazeleyes Thank you... Your comment is inspiring. I understand how difficult it must be, because I still find myself indirectly defending my hair when I hear passive aggressive comments about it, and that's here in the U.S. Keep up the confidence! Also, I'm going to try to remember to post something on my baby hairs this weekend.
Thanks for showing your style. I had a time putting my hair up in a puff, due to the fact that my hair didnt grow evenly. Now I can try your style here and hope it will stay in place. I am learning not to put too much product in my hair at once and apply it at times during the style I'm working with. I see your waves and curls, SWEET! B.) I think I am 4b,c mixture, may be more. The top seems to be courser.
@rebarenee7 I'm sure you can rock it! It seems that 4b/4c ish hair types mistake daily moisturizing and detangling for difficulty. We can do it! We just have to work at it. So you're saying that your putting too much product on, and it's making your hair less manageable?
@MichelleShell20 depending on the product like cantu, I dont need much product on. I think that I have been applying too much which takes more time for my hair to dry. I have noticed a dull white coating too. I may be using too much of my shea butter mixture because I have found out that if I rub or smooth the shea butter mixture in my hair from root to ends, I can feel the difference. I have found out that I only need to use water and not have to apply product every day to revive my style.
Trust me it rocks. I should start posting pictures or vids up as well. There is a lot you can do with 4c hair. I 've learned thru trial and error. I used veggie glycerin around the edges because it breaks down and softens. Put a little Eco gel on after , then a Oucheless band , double it and get my curly puff on.Whatever you do, DO NOT put the veggie glycerin on your curls. They will fall out. Trust me on this one! :)
Hello, I am a 4c also. I used Eco Styler gel and shea butter w/castor oil mix. Get some grey perm rods and roll your hair wet or dry. Put a comb on the side and rock it!!!!
Hey the hair is nice can't wait til mine gets a little longer to accomplish this. By the way, what do you have on your lips? I really like the color and frosty look.
@chyna7702 Thanks.... (Re: Lips - This is going to sound kind of extra, but the first thing I put on is the "Blistex - Lip Medex" for lip protection, the second layer is "Milani Crystal Gloss," the third layer is "Miliani lipstick Sugar Rim" #43, the fourth layer is "NYC Liquid Lip Shine #558," and then I put another final layer of "Milani Crystal Gloss"...ffew!)
@MichelleShell20 love you vid! having TROUBLE with my hair and it looks like yours so I guess i'm a 4c. It's breaking so bad. Thanks for the advice and encouragement lol at your lip gloss regimen, too poppin' lol :)
@bhg135 In one of my videos, I show the results of Chunky Twists after I changed it back to my natural hair color (1B). The color was ok, but for some reason, I felt like my natural hair color looked healthier. However, looking at some of my videos with lighter hair, I miss it! lol
I have the 4c hair as well. Thanks for posting your videos and embracing your kinks. So tired of not seeing enough of us represented and being honest that we can't do what everyone else does with their hair. :).
@7779311sassy Thank you Sassy... It is rare on youtube, but most naturals have our hair texture; more of us need to be proud enough and experimental enough to get on and inspire us 4Cs ;-)
@MichelleShell20 ok.... well its a featured video on my end... thats good! probably because i have 4c hair also, but your hair looks wayyyyyy better than mine
@farmah100 Thank you Girl! I figure the more of us who track out progress, the more help for all of us... I'm literally figuring things out as I go. Thanks for you inspirational comment.
