The thumbnail is everything 😍😍 it’s amazing how all this radical acceptance content started flooding this year and I am here for the #coilyhairmovement !! I wanna see variety, creativity, PERSONALITY. We are our own standard of beauty & need to start acting like it 💯
Thank you so much and thanks for introducing me to Pinterest. I’m definitely going to highlight a lot of cool and creative ideas I found on there in my natural hair video next week…all 3 girls on my thumbnail are from Pinterest I can’t wait to incorporate more🤎🤎🤎
Our community puts too much emphasis on length of hair instead the health of our hair. I'm learning to get more comfortable wearing my 4c hair out in a society that encourages wearing wigs and chemically relaxing our hair.
Thanks for commenting and I agree 100 percent and I’m so glad you’re now embracing your natural hair 🤎🤎🤎 If you want me to address any topics that will help you along your journey please let me know 🤎
Idk I don’t think the natural hair movement was “hijacked”. I think alot of BW didn’t like their hair so they watched women who had the hair texture they wanted. N sadly tried to “change” their hair pattern with certain products etc. But there were type 4 girlys making videos back then, but type 4 girlys weren’t supporting them. I remember bc I watched them. There are many BW that have looser textures and they needed to be represented as well. It was called “the natural hair movement”. That’s how I saw it.
I don’t see it that way, it was somewhat hijacked. I watch “natural hair” vids and that algorithm kept putting people that don’t look like me in the way, everything will get whitewashed because we can’t have anything, some white woman or man always needs to say I have naturally curly hair too, they weren’t wearing their hair “natural” until we did.
Unpopular opinion: I dont think we should make another hair movement. We should just support women with natural hair that looks like ours. Let the actions be the movement. We know relaxers are damaging and we know weaves can damage as well if done incorrectly or worn more than required to the point of the real hair being neglected.
Thanks for your insight…and I agree about educating ourselves on what is damaging to our hair and rather or not we create a new movement or a subgroup within the natural hair community their needs to be a clear distinction between curly and Coily hair so we are get the proper representation we deserve and so we can learn to take care of and love our unique hair type. Not every product that works for curly hair works for Coily hair and Coily hair products doesn’t always work on curly hair so we need products that cater to our hair needs. These are some of the reasons why I feel we need to identify ourselves as the Coily community. Rather it’s considered a subgroup or a new movement I agree that we also need to support women with natural hair that looks like ours🤎
In the process of transitioning now! Sadly my hair has been relaxed since I was 5 years old (in my mid twenties now) and I have no idea what my hair even looks like in it’s natural state. So excited to begin this journey, finally! #coilyhaircommunity
Yay! That’s so exciting and I know you have beautiful hair without your perm…once you start seeing those coils coming through you are going to love it…let me know how it goes throughout your journey so I can make videos tailored to any questions you may have 🤎🤎🤎
God gave us this blessing. Our hair DEFIES GRAVITY. It keeps our heads warm in the winter. And keeps our scalp from getting burnt in the summer. I love my afro. PPL. Especially some females are hating.
Stop waiting for the world to celebrate our hair (and our beauty)and celebrate it OURSELVES as a form revolution. ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼 We keeping waiting--IN VAIN--for the world to deem us worthy. WHY? I'm honestly tired of it. We don't need to be the standard. The "standard" is BO-RING...and us lamenting not being it is starting to really grind my gears. So let's just...STOP??? 💁🏾♀️ We are unique. The standard does not and will never make room for what is unique.
The "Coily Fro Community". Drop the word HAIR and use FRO instead. Infiltrators will be attracted to HAIR but they will not be able to go past the FRO.
I know other ppl can have textured hair, even 4c, but the movement is for BW. Not only do ppl try to co-opt our movements, I've seen some "black" and/or African youtubers try to include nonblack women with curly hair. It's sad. I call my hair afro-textured, coily, and/or 4c.
The joy I felt while watching this😂❤️ This is what we need The Upliftment of type 4 hair,whether short or long,zero obsession with length,just loving and caring for our hair❤🎉 Thanks for this video ❤
Personally, I embrace the term "nappy", as in 'Happy to be...' But I understand that term can be a bit traumatizing for Black women. So I guess kinks and coils are the best terms we have now.
Thanks for commenting 🤎I actually did a video about the word nappy…check it out and let me know what you think 🤎🤎🤎🤎 Is The Word “NAPPY” Offensive? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Pgv1GkLlu7E.html
I ALWAYS MAKE IT POINT TO LET MY SISTER KNOW WETHER SHE IS ROCKIN A TWA (AKA TINY WEENY AFRO), COILY CROPPED HAIR OR AN AFRO PUFF AND STUFF. THIS IS MY MOTTO: LONG HAIR SHORT HAIR, DON'T CARE. SEXY WILD AND FREE!!! YA'LL BETTA FLING THAT HAIR AROUND AND CELEBRATE YOUR CROWN. 🥳 THIS IS YEAR OF BEING UNAPOLOGETICALLY ❤❤❤ NATURAL.
Just found your channel and subscribed. I have been Loc’d for almost two years. Can you please add to the list always say NO when people ask to touch your hair? Great commentary sis 🥰
I hope more young people see this video. They don’t realize wearing a wig, extensions even braids all the time is damaging our natural hair. I can understand as an older person wearing a wig but young ppl no. We are truly beautiful and should embrace that beauty even our own hair. Wearing these long hair wigs are not really attractive. Sorry
It's all in the way the hair is applied and maintained. You don't have to necessarily stop wearing wigs and braids if you know how to do a proper install and hair care.
@@MsRaja42 for me no. I see so many of these young people’s hair thinning. It might be nice for a small period of time but to wear these styles all the time is not good. That’s just my opinion and seeing others lose of hair especially the edges.
Why are we still using a hair chart that was created by a man who didn’t even put it on the original hair chart. I love this video and whole paradigm but if you say that we should pedestalise our hair why are we using a chart that puts our hair last it sounds contradictory. If we are truly trying to break this so we can actually truly pedestalise our hair we should rid ourselves of it completely.
Thanks for commenting 🤎and I did mention the disagreements a lot of black women have with the hair chart including listing black hair last and not including all our hair types in the video below. I completely understand what you are saying and as a community we should consider making our own chart that properly represents us. I will touch on this topic in my next video🤎 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0X7BexDk59U.htmlsi=eldfMH-c0lw0N_Do
I am so glad to see this channel. Thank you for reviving the Black natural hair community. I'm not sure what happened during the initial natural hair movement, but towards the end I witnessed a lot of hate. It seems what could not be achieved in curl pattern was achieved in unnatural length. I am all for loving the way we are made as individuals and ethnically. I hope this movement will create a huge LOVE for all of our natural beauty. I do use the word shrinkage because I hear it used as a negative term. I prefer to use the term "hair stretch." Some of us have more amazing stretch than others. I want to see people refer to their stretch as a good, healthy, desirable attribute to hair. Less stretch is okay, but super stretch is magnificent!!!! 🤓❤❤❤
Hi again! After further research, I feel that "Afro" hair is the best designation for *our specific type* of hair. Kinks, coils and curls are found everywhere. But *Afro* hair is specific to one continent and people...if you got it, you know! *Nappy* should become our personal term of endearment vs the N-word (ending in er or a) Just just a thought 🤷🏾
Love this vid! I went natural about a year ago and my coils are so beautiful and super juicy😂. I can’t get over how many years I put creamy crack in my hair because I didn’t know how beautiful it could be. It’s been a journey, but I finally know how and what products works best for my hair and I have literally fallen in love with my coils.
Yes, I believe in only using products that are black owned!! What’s the sense in using products that don’t know our hair and wondering why our hair doesn’t look like it should. I loved this video happy to subscribe.
I agree with this too. I'm finding that the products made by the natural hair companies in my country (Kenya) are usually the same price as the imported ones and have WAY better ingredients than them. Looking into products made locally for those living outside the US can be a good place to start
Thank you for your support…I have a video coming about black women with natural hair going back to relaxers dropping later this week so make sure to subscribe 🤎🤎🤎
LOVED THIS WHOLE VIDEO! Type 4 hair is beautiful & unique to us and we need to support & encourage each other in our hair journeys 💕 #coilyhairmovement
Yep relaxed my hair for many years looked after it, my hair would grow past my shoulders any style haircut. This year I decided I had enough now I am growing Locks ! So far I am enjoying my Locks Hair journey. PS, I never ever wore Weave or Wigs Hell No ❤
That’s right! Amen! I am so glad I found You! You are the real Sister putting it Out there! I have share this with my people in New Jersey! Just Rock your Natural Hair! Forget the Hype!❤❤Love Love Love your tutorials, videos, All of your communication and commentary about Rocking Our 4C Hair! Amen Sister!
❤I don't say nappy hair. I suggest we refer to our hair as, " The Same hair as The Creator mentioned in Revelation 1:14-15" We have Revelation 1:14" hair We have God's hair We have the Creator's hair Hair of The CREATOR'S Hair of the Gods Non animalistic hair Woolly hair Hair like wool❤ Daniel 7:9 the hair of his head like the pure wool: The hair of our head like the pure wool. The hair of our head like the pure wool like God's hair. Hair like God God's hair Human hair ❤
Yes I can! I try to feature sales from black owned hair businesses on my community tab as well as my Amazon store front that is linked in my bio but I plan to do a natural hair on a budget video soon and I will feature different products their too🤎
Ok thank you so much that will be helpful I struggle with finding affordable hair brand for my hair type the one's I do find are always so expensive @@CoffeeCuties777
Thanks for commenting 🤎and the natural hair movement has been happening for a long time however the original purpose of celebrating type 4 hair has been lost and this movement is attempting to revive the movement with the original purpose of celebrating type 4 coily hair 🤎
I feel like the mixed/white women with curly hair are still gonna try to invade. I motion to add the word kinky into the movement?? just a suggestion. Perhaps kinky coil movement? something where the exclusivity is soo apparent they cant just go oh we also have "coils" I may just be ranting. its annoying how the movement was co-opt by the girls whose "hair can take water" if you know what i mean. the new and improved and exclusive Kinky Coil Natural hair movement. What do you think luvs? lets be very specific because they dont stop coming for what is ours Cheers beautiful
The invasion was the other way around. I was a part of the early natural hair movement of the 2000’s, and it was mixed race women making spaces, products and brands to embrace our curls. Next thing I know, language is being expanded and mixed race/curly brands are catering to black women after black women complained. Hell, they hated the creators of Mixed Chicks for embracing being mixed. It was ridiculous. Then we were accused of usurping “your movement” all while black women infiltrated our spaces and demanded our curly products cater to their kinks-which they refused to actually accept, and tried that whole movement to get their hair to create curls (shingling, twist outs, braid outs, etc). Why would we infiltrate a movement we created and already mastered? Us mixed women have been loving our curls for 2 decades now, and have well-established products and communities, so what would even be the point? More likely, black women won’t actually flock to the Afro spaces and stubbornly stay in the mixed curly spaces to convince themselves they have curls 😒
@ravenrebel3183 You speak *utter nonsense* . Light skins and mulattos always think brown/dark skins want what they have. Kinky, coily, nappy Black women started the natural hair movement well before the 2000s. Then, looser curl type 3 girls said "we have curls too". Don't embrace your nappy hair, you should try to look like us". I'm glad to see type 4 hair reclaiming what WE started.
I believe part of the “high jacking” was also the result of type 4 women over manipulating their hair to appear in the type 3 range. I disagree about shutting out the other type 4’s. Because, (unpopular opinion) 4c hair can appear as 4b and even 4a when properly moisturized and it reaches a heavy enough length. Let’s not forget about 4z girlies!!! This movement is not just optics. It’s encouraging mental/emotional rehabilitation as well as promoting styles unique to our hair group alone. Honestly, let’s stop placing blame on other women and simply get on the pedestal 😘
@@Ehlaar I still (respectfully) disagree. There are plenty 4a/4b women who struggle with embracing their hair texture. Example: I briefly worked with a woman who has 3c/4a hair just like me. I always wear my hair in ‘ethnic’ styles and she always complimented me. However, she relaxed her curls because she felt her hair was too “childish.” What’s crazy is her hair is longer than mine!! AND she has a daughter with the same gorgeous hair type. Another example: my cousin who’s hair I haven’t seen since we were children doesnt have 4c but I know she’s type 4. Her hair is completely fried and outside of braids she only wears her hair straight. So, 4c girls may have it hard but they aren’t the only ones struggling with embracing their curl pattern & texture. We shouldn’t keep dividing ourselves like this. This only breeds resentment when we’re all in the same boat
@@LI8A__noir everyone else will be alright figuring out their needs. our needs are different we need to stay together and gate keep. I know porosity density and other factors play a role but its time we look out for us! We got this! 4c no more looking out for others.
I disagree. Even people with curly hair struggle loving and caring for their hair too. As long as women with type 4 hair love their hair the way it is, it shouldn’t matter.
I KEEP THINKING ABOUT YOU AND THIS TOPIC. just here to add more distinctive adjectives to specify for our movement. #COILY #KINKY #SPRINGY NATURAL HAIR MOVEMENT?? i guess why i came back to add this is because i realize the concern i have with the word coil is it describes the shape and i feel some mixed girls have coils and will literally hear that word and still feel the need to co-opt but those three words( together although longer) just specify very specifically that when the girls with "zendaya type hair" can understand the difference and the specifics. #CoilyKinkySpringy ?? #the 3 Y's ?? idunno just my brain farting all over this topic😂😂😂😂 Coffee hopefully you consider adding these suggestions id love for you to sound the alarms and make this the defining words to help us move exclusively. okay im backing off now lol
Thank you so much for adding your input and I will definitely use all those adjectives interchangeably in future videos. I think a lot of the infiltration will be filtered out once we create a new hair chart… I would love to hear your ideas on ways to improve the current hair chart as well🤎🤎🤎
@@CoffeeCuties777 Thank you thank you for your reply luv. I guess my only suggestion is to make afro hair number 1 instead of 4 ( i did not come up with this i am sure i heard it from another creator of which i cannot remember right now). I believe it should go kinkiest/coarsest to straightest/thinnest. Also i think porosity should be incorporated if possible in the chart as well #CoilyKinkySpringyAfro #the 3 y's #Natrual Afro Hair Movement 2024 #Springy Coils #Kinky Springs #Coily Kinks #🤎🤎🤎
My thoughts:(1)Kinky coiled hair is not limited only to black people.(2)I do not buy products based on the race of the owner.(3) I feel that even if your hair is relaxed or chemically treated it is your natural hair. If you didn't add it to your head, it is your natural hair in whatever style you choose. However, I do enjoy being educated about my hair type. 🙂
Thanks for commenting and I’m aware that other admixtures of women have kinky coily hair however this page is focused on black women and our hair. I personally do like to consider who I’m buying my hair products from and I also consider if they are representing type 4 hair types as well and on this channel the other ladies are checking these things as well and lastly relaxed hair is real hair not natural because it’s chemically processed🤎
We are not the only ones with curly or coily natural hair. Thus, the term will never be for one race. Also, people who use dye wear their natual hair strait should be included. There is too much division already
Thanks for commenting and I’m aware other races of women have coily hair however this movement is surrounding black women…also I never spoke against hair dye or straightening your natural hair…I do however speak against weave that is not your hair texture and relaxers 🤎
@@CoffeeCuties777 Please explain. The 4A, 4B, 4C Afro-textured hair is literally a phenotypical genetic 🧬 marker exclusive to BP of African descent. There is no such thing as a yt, Arab, Asian person with Afro-textured hair unless they are bi-racial/multi-racial and have some African ancestry. Maybe the commenter meant to say “ethnicity” and not race. You will never see a WP or an Asian who has no African ancestry with Afro-textured hair that grows naturally from their scalp.
This is biologically and genetically 🧬 incorrect. Yes, there are Afro-Palestinians, Afro-Israeli’s, Afro-Latinos, Afro-Asians, so forth and so on that have 4A, 4B, 4C hair; but they are still BP with different ethnicities and nationalities. It is literally biologically and genetically 🧬 impossible for a WP, Arab, Asian person to naturally grow Afro-textured hair from their own scalps. The Afro-textured hair is literally a genetic marker 🧬 for BP of African descent. So if you see a person who presents as yt but they have 4C hair texture you automatically know they are probably bi-racial with a black parent, it is literally the only way they could have the 4C textured hair.
No it's not but it is for ME. And my hair type is very specific and we do need it to be the focus in some spaces exclusively. we can't keep including other hair types because we need ours to be the focus
