I agree. The medium setting does not work for our (4c) hair. And it's because we have to use high heat, that I stay away from blow dryers unless I have an emergency and need to speed dry a braid set so I can get to sleep! Even then I don't completely dry it.

I also wanted to say that I've never heard of a product (except straight hair grease) that can weigh down our hair! Actually I'm looking for a product that WILL weigh it down. 4c hair is just too fly away! So if you find one, let me know.

@kameelean I try to stay away from blow drying as much as possible but I have to confess I did it last week because the hair style called for it. I doubt I'll find a product cause a sister is sticking to her shea butter mixed with oils :-D

thanks for this vid. ive got 4c hair and have been natural for eighteen months. every vid ive watched has made styling+maintaining natural hair seem so easy. i kept thinking ive been natural too long to still have to go through trial+error. im glad to know that even at your length, its okay to have moments of frustration. .sigh.

@tnsthedfo No problem :-D Trust it takes some effort, you're not alone. I'm happy for those ladies that can do their hair effortlessly but that's not the case for me.

Did you wait until your hair was completely dry or was it damp? F

[chery818]

@lovelyjazzi it was completely dry

I cannot wait for the day i get that length! It's gorgeous! I'm glad you went to high heat. It's not good for our hair but I know my hair laughs at me if I use medium on it. How often do you wear your blow out?

Thanks for sharing.... You keep me motivated :)

Beautiful hair! 4c hair breaks the most of the 'rules' that you see in hair videos on YouTube... hahaha

WOW you have great hair!

@kameelean

yes ma'am ;D

[kameelean]

@chrischeanda I just checked out some of longhairdontcare's videos. It doesn't look like she had 4c hair, but close. You should check out her length in recent videos! Let me know what you think.

[waterbearer4]

Your hair is gorgeous. I'm so glad you figured it all out because I was extremely anxious to see the results of your blow out. Thank you for sharing.

@pinkrosesfly

lol hahaha the people at my job call me MAMA-MUFASA whenever I do a blowout. too funny. And I can't wait until my hair gets her length. Mine is as thick as hers but of course shorter. frustrating.

@kameelean

oh girl..I have the same problem. My hair had only worked well when getting it pressed. I tried to get it flat ironed and It was slowly converting back to its natural state no matter how much product she put in it to weigh it down. Ugh...I have 4c hair as well.
