How To Change Your Hair Type 

It does actually, not much but it does it’s called curltraining but i think it only works if you already have curls

I have wavy straightedge hair and I twirl around my finger alot and now its more curly, so like 2a to 2c/ 3a

i finger coiled my hair and uncoiled it and it went back to 4c so I can confirm that this comment true lmao

@@niribee4126 sorry but you cant change your hair type unless its with chemicals. This is not how it works. You cant just finger coil and suddenly your hair type, your genes, just change. Thats like me straightening my 4c hair and claiming I have 1a hair. It doesnt make sense

@@in3pired9 yes

@mimi • 10 years ago really? this does kinda give me hope..

@mimi • 10 years ago mine changed for like 2 days after i toke my dreads out but thats it

Yeah same

how did u grow it or it’s just grew naturally

It doesn’t change, your hair just got heavier so it made your curls more elongated

4c doesn’t have straight ends

This doesn’t sound healthy or safe at all!

it sounds manageable and thats maybe what they care about its not your head God bless you

How do u change it?

I know I’m extremely late but how often did you apply heat to your hair?

I have 1B hair

@@mattc236 cool

That's so true its annoying

You need a deep conditioning and to keep it in your for at a day that will make it more manageable especially if you have low porosity hair. I would suggest looking for some natural ones on Etsy with ingredients such as Marshmallow root or Black strap molasses.

@@mattc236 k

You already know!!!! haha thanks!

Deadassss🤣🤣🤣🤦🤦 had me weak

so how did your hair become curly

What the hell 2b is awesome

Can u give me an update on what u did and if it worked because I literally have the same problem as you

You're white tho wtf

I have 3b but I want a course aka like 4

U need to hair this or hear this😭

Climate

@@jjkollia3796 That’s cool my mom only cut it down a little but enough to get the damaged hair out but I got rlly short hair now

Perm

Not 3c

No that is not possible

Amen!!

@@honeyluvz1231 I think you need to read his comment again

@@jazzylashay2983 I was replying to somebody else but they deleted their reply

keep away from chemical products and heat... i’m sure good hair masks are beneficial

@@enevaeh5880 thankuu

I don’t know if itd work with your type, but I’m 3C and I used carol's daughter coil enhancing moisture butter on my hair and it made mine look like 4A. It says coil enhancer, but it says it can be used on curly hair too, so maybe it’d help make your hair have the appearance of tighter curls.

@@dontgetnotifications5598 thanks boo I’m def gon try that

shut up Good luck hope it works out

conditioner might be good but idk sorry

@Gacha Princess do u know how I would go from 3b to like 4a??

​@@imdatnigga1409 this is what I want to do too and there is litterally no information 😭

literally same, it was good until i turned 5

In my opinion I'd much rather have type 4 hair then type 3

Literally exactly me when used to have 3b 3c up until I was around 6 or 7 and I went buzz cuz my hair got messed up and since then I been stuck with 4a/4b which I mean it’s nice but I wish I had 3c or even half 3c/ 4a I’d be satisfied any tips how to achieve that?

You can go 4c to 4a if you grow you hair and make curl training,and you hair get light than you has 4a or 3c/4a

j bez

Omg same, I have 1c hair type and I need 2b type, I just know I would look better with that type

flattops, mohawk, fro, etc.

hahahahah!!!! thanks !!

Bottom and sides was 3c 4a still

But then after I got older and got a cut again it got 3a on top and quite a bit of 3b 3c and 4a on front so I lost quite a bit of curls

I wish I had 3c curls, my curls went from 3a to 4b

@@yoEliptic howw?

@@-boionyt-8572 I'm guessing puberty but possibly because my hair is damaged so it split and now looks like half of the big curls it used to b

@@yoEliptic mhmmm

You'd most likely get your old texture back

Yes you can braids braids braids. Or perm Rods. Anything where ur hair is curl or twisted in anyway. I bleached my hair and then went to a black box dye over and over again and it was fried. I have 3c hair and it worked wonders. Or just let it grow out.

@@Cherry-blossom-2024 Oh wow how long did you keep the braids in your hair ? And what exactly does curling or twisting it actually do ? Also Is there like an alternative way I can do because I am a guy so I don’t want to be walking around with braids in my hair lol 😂

@@nickenhead500 okay so I would twist my hair and wear them pulled in a bun or down for a few days because I don’t like twist in my hair really only a few days. Next wet ur hair and try wash n go and use a good curling creme or gel. Stay consistent for a few months and u will see a difference. Perm rods help make ur hair curly until it’s grows enough to the point u feel comfortable trimming it until all those fried parts are gone. And I get what u mean I’m more of a wash n go girl I’m not big on braids either so days like ur in the house try twice a week just wet, put conditioner in it and leave it in, pull it back or rock it loose around the house. Then next morning rinse and style ur curly hair. And lastly use aphogee two step protein it work wonders but only every other month. I know it’s hard cause u want to be cute and look a certain way but just deal with it for a few months u will see a difference. Sorry I know it’s a lot but hope it helps babe ❤️

@@Cherry-blossom-2024 Gotcha so I put the curling creme on top of the braids and also where can I get perm rods from 🤔

Typing is all based on the appearance of your hair (straight, wavy, coily, or kinky) not necessarily what products to use because it doesn't factor in your hairs density, prorosity, and a lot more things that really determine what products will work best for you. And yesssss! 100% we gotta let ppl do what they wanna do and whats gonna make them happy.

Koby Lomax Almost Lol.Typing actually does take into consideration the density. Ie. The letter a,b,c. That’s what creates the pattern of the curls. Not talking about porosity which is another ballgame. But it was originally created so that naturals can identify w a curl pattern similar to those to know which products cater to their hair in an unprocessed state. Not taking anything away from what you said jus adding to. But like I said your right so many other factors play into it.

@@JRTaylorIII so if you look up hair density, that just has to do with the number of hair strands that are on your head (IE how thick or thin your hair is). The a,b,c in hair typing has to do with how curly your hair is. Someone can be 2b with fine hair and another person can be 2b with thick hair. Their density is different but the pattern of the waves are still the same

Koby Lomax I should clarify. When I speak of density I mean the thickness of strand itself. You’re looking at the number of strands. I’m talking about the thickness of the strand itself. A person can still have thick hair with thin strands and vice verse. Which is why I said it’s a guideline. 4a hair is a thinner strand than 4C or Z type. Which is why the curls look different. But that has nothing to do with the number of strands itself. That’s why I used the word density, as most people say thick hair meaning a lot of strands rather than how thick the strand is which plays a part. You just so happened to be smarter than the average and did a little research. But like I said the vid is on point!

@@JRTaylorIII Coarseness has to do with how thick or thin a single hair strand is. Density refers to the amount follicles on your head. Any cosmetology book will tell you that.

I see what you're saying, but I can do wash and gos with different products and techniques and my hair will look different. I may actually do a video on this where I do a wash and go with certain products on 1 side of my head and then use difffferent products on another side of my head.

@@kobylomax I definitely agree with that. Depending on the products or technique, it may look a bit different. But for example, for someone that has very low porosity hair, or very coarse hair, even if they have 4a or 3c hair, when it's freshly shampooed with no product, it can look exactly like 4c hair. So if they were to judge their hair off of that state, they would say it's 4c. I think another really great way for people to see their actual curl pattern in a bentonite clay mask. Since it's not something like a twist out, or finger coils. And will make your natural curl pattern very visible.

I agree, for some ppl, bentonite clay will really make their curls pop, but for someone with fine curly hair, bentonite clay will wight their hair down and turn their curls to waves because its too heavy for them. My freshman and sophomore year of college, I did people's natural hair in my dorm as a side hustle and I've had some clients who, you put any sort of product in their hair that isn't super watery/thin in their hair and it looks different. And according to the hair type chart, hair type doesn't have much to do with porosity, its all about what a strand of hair looks like. And that's why I recommend basing it off of freshly washed hair. Because you don't have to factor in all of the variable of styling. Its just is what it is ya know. To your point of someone having 4a or 3c hair but when it's washed its 4c. That's how it goes! my hair freshly washed i'd say is probably more like 4a but I wear it in finger coils all the time and it looks 3c. And mind you, somebosy could feel like my hair is 4b and who's to say their wrong since its so subjective ya know. Most ppls hair looks very different freshly washed versus styled (Thats the whole point of styling!) and that's why I feel like we should compare out hair freshly washed to other ppls hair freshly washed because then, if its very similar, I can try their routine and odd are, itll probably work for me.

Yes this is true, I have 4a/3c hair and you can see my curl type with just water but I know with others they can’t

i thought i had 4b hair and realised i had 3a-3c oof

Me too

But a fro is just combed out curls 😏🤦🏿‍♀️

anyone who picks out their curly hair is gonna have an afro

@@2ecember fax

@Gen love that does nothing. I do that to my hair weekly and my 4c hair stays 4c because im keeping it healthy. Of your hair pattern is changing because of that products and chemicals youre putting in your hair its just damaged and you need a cut

hes not going to perm his hair

@@joshuaoyerokun6642 it’s not a perm it’s just a gel. I did it when I went natural for a bit

Kix it may be heat damaged ends do you use heat a lot?

Kix try trimming your ends then trying a wash and go

f2. certi no but when I was younger I use to cut my hair a lot basically bald

f2. certi ok thanks

How many inches is your hair?

What do conditioners do to hair? Can you also tell me the routine and products pleasee... Im desperate to get wavy hair🥺

@@evanskaci5736 Routine: 1)Wet hair with cold water 2)Put panthene conditioner in 3)start twisting your hair around with the tips of your fingers and lift the hair up and shake it forwards and backwards 4)Wash the conditioner out with cold water 5)put a little amount of the same conditioner spread it round your hair and leave it in *dont dry your hair with a towel *dont dry your hair with a hair dryer 6)Wait for the hair to dry by it self

@@thundersstorms610 Woaaah, thanks man. Btw, dont you use like Cantu or something else to style it occasionally?

And please can you tell me the name of the conditioner, I just checked and there are many of pantene conditioners...

@@evanskaci5736 it says repair and protect on the conditioner

Me to bro but i i will do curl training to change it to 3b/3c

Imma be getting a drop fade soon I don't feel like being a mushroom top

Yea same

I really like it between 3c and 4a

What is your natural hair type?

@@kingkeem8493 4b, 4c

Patrick Walton Same. I’m gonna try that. I tried a bentonite clay treatment before and posted results on my curly hair channel. It has similar results I heard.🔥 m.ru-vid.com/show-UCAjmp_DCSRVjHrKdZvVEqew 🔥

@@kingkeem8493 I love bentonite clay. I use it often i add olive oil in mine for slip and mostiure retention. I actually paired the clay with a cowash and got great results too.

@メ ヤタ 4b 4c

Look it up

Use heavy products and lots of them. You also have to have long hair tho for your hair to really hang.

Koby Lomax thanks 💯

Make curly train

You cant

@Tiger era not if you dont have it genetically in you dna. Trust me the is no possible way to manually change you hair texture with out chemical or heat training. That would just be unnatural and you actually hair type will just grow back out as the one you had before. You cant change your DNA kid

@@yutazen_cm1176 nope hahaha I had dead hair when I was a kid and I cut it and now I have curly hair like curly curly

@@chromeify yeah you cant change your genetics. You have curly hair now bc you've always had curly hair. Your hair didn't look curly before because it was damaged obviously

@@chromeify because you were a child 🙄 Until puberty your hair changes as you grow older

lol i wanna see tha

how?

Cap hes white he hair can never be in the 4s

You can do this ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xS7vKDvBAMA.html But it's permanent and if you want to get your natural texture back you'll have to cut everything off
