I'm a biracial guy who for a while hated my hair because it wasn't straight, I love asian straight hair, I can do whatever my style dictates(sorry for spelling errors) but I've been thinking sometimes I miss being natural, my hair type especialy for me is VERRRY unique very much like the woman in 2:21 however more redish brown with a blonde tint, and incredibly think and shiny, but still like straight hair, so I'm torn,lol

@DeCaY45

The thing about natural hair is its diversity, u can wear it straight or curly, the main point is you can switch up if you wanted to. Diversity is key.

@eprahs1 maybe I don't know how to manageit ,to get it straight is a pain,lol, looking at it you would assume it's very managable, I'm not lying though people of all races have told me that they never seen ahir so thick,lol it's Crazzzy thick, so If I want my hair straight I have to leave that wave, and it won't lay down flat, and won't stick when I want it to stick up,lol I've been natural all my life, I'm now 18,lol

@DeCaY45 first you need to find your curl pattern, then search youtube to find the right products to use, find somone on here who has close to the same hair type and watch their videos and ask what type of products they use. When u find the right product for your hair, stick with it. Try marvalousmixedracehair.blogspo­t. or other types of blogs, dealing with this hair requires alot of research.

i think natural hair is very pretty

[Weewinkle7]

I'm pretty sure Tracy Ellis Ross is a 3 a or b. You had some 3a's and b's in the type 2 category. No disrespect, just an observation.

[RavenDarlin]

i just dont know what type of hair I have... sigh

[Kayonmangement]

Hair typing confuses the shit out of me.

@Weewinkle7 she's more like 3c/4a her hair is actually pretty tight when not stretched like she always has it

[IsiTheGooseGirl17]

What about those without a uniform curl pattern or with a mixed hair type? It is not uncommon to see people with varying textures on different areas of the scalp.

4:18 is my favorite! When my hair wasnt in a twist out, it looks like this but more curly. I think I'm 3c! I can't wait for my hair to grow that long :)

[nickierainbow]

Im a mix between 2a and 2b I think.

My hair is wavy but has lots of volume. Some strands have tighter waves and others have looser waves.

4:11 "don't comb will grow even longer." I love that sentence!

[msfashionlover17]

I have type 2

[Kayonmangement]

You've completely mixed me up
