Take the Guess Work Out of Natural Hair Care. ~ Facts and, "Not So" Common Sense to Longer, Thicker, Healthier Hair. - Jak na to + styl
I tell black women all the time, it comes down to length retention. Properly moisturized & low manipulation is key for Afro textured hair. There’s no magic oils or vitamins. And just because our hair can “shape shift” into so many styles doesn’t mean that we should. I’m tired of this false narrative that Afro hair is so strong & can handle all these tight braids & chemicals. When our hair is literally the MOST fragile.
Your hair will thrive!!❤❤
How do you wear your hair? Thanks!
@@yourjway Wash n go mainly 💜
What do you use on your wash n go?
Loc method has worked a lot for me!
But I'm a very anxious and stressed person, so sometimes it's damaged. Especially the edges.
@@yourjwayif your hair can handle oils I’d use shea butter. I’m west African and almost exclusively wear my hair in wash and goes and twists under glueless wigs. I only use water, shea butter and eco styler gel for my wash and goes and my hair has retained its length really well. Also consider stretching your roots out in winter.
Interesting. Just this morning on the bus, I was watching the back of an Asian boy's head and yes, hair just stuck straight out, unique.
@@Broski.is.Polski Yes my ex is puerto rican and his does that its very spikey. even indians native americas hawaiians etc anyone with straight.
@@Broski.is.Polski I have nver heard a black person think that it can grow up? because when black ppl hair is short it certainly does not grow or stand up. never heard of that. Maybe your refering to standing up without falling down. yea but to compare it to straight hair standing up in its short stage.. thats different.. nv heard that in my life.
@@Broski.is.Polski grow up as an afro is different from spike short hair that's not the same. They are not referring to that and not all black ppl talk that way. its interesting that you take what they are saying for their hair and apply it here. Though they are talking just the overall manipulation of their hair. To describe it as a metaphor.
Once that short hair is grown out its no longer spiky it rests. Every culture of ppl have their way of describing the beauty of their features. I don't think you should worry about what some black ppl try to relate it to religiously or not. Indians have a way to describe the same thing of their own features to the earth and God.
Hispanics as well. You shouldn't get all bent out of shape of it.
@Broski.is.Polski The belief that hair growing upwards brings you closer is God is actually a spiritual African belief where hair was and is of great importance spiritually.
Im native American and my hair when I cut it short grew like a straight afro. As it grew out it started to lay down. My hair is too silky...this isn't always a good thing.
My daughter has a combination of my afro hair and her father's asian hair. Her hair is curly, and her hair strands are very strong and are like wires. She can do almost anything to her, and it very rarely breaks
All I’m hearing is black + Asian equals power couple hair, W discovery
@@synnakae04pretty much, been saying that for years lol
@@synnakae04Power couple? No.
@@Mushimushi25 Emphasis on the hair
@@synnakae04what if you get the worse of both worlds ?!
The hair sticking up when east Asians have short hair is seriously soooo cute. Faye Wong in ChungKing Express had this look and she's stunning
I love the way it looks too.
I agree. And yes she looked so adorable in that movie.
@@pagethreemodel I love your picture lmao

I love the disclaimer! “Different does not mean better or worse.”
Thank you! I emphatically love my Afro textured hair!
This is so true
East Asians’ judge of “good hair” is fine hair (ie. even if the vast majority of us have straight hair, they don’t want it to be coarse) and that fine hair is often more similar to European hair. I can’t confirm it but it’s very possible that this beauty standard that is specific to us pre-dates European colonizers reaching East Asia
When my mom did my hair as a kid, she would complain that I didn’t get her fine hair, and that although I had more hair than her, it was coarse and less malleable
As a Korean woman, I believe there's worse, better... lol. To highly educated, sophisticated Koreans, straight hair is cheap, peasant looking. Curly hair is the choice for high class artistic beauty. Low class Asians will think straight hair is better though lol.
I'm black and my hair thrives using Japanese hair products. The shampoo and conditioners and oils have helped me retain so much length and moisture to the point my curls are FINALLY developing and defining themselves. It's a whole new experience. I think I have 4c/3c hair
Can you give us some examples/brands of these products and where you can find them?
I'd like to know too. Please give us the list.
I second this. My natural hair flourished in my 5 years living in Japan. Their products are very big on moisture and hydration. And their conditioners have slip guys! My hair loved the Lux products. They shampoo and conditioner and styling mist
What r the products I have 4c/3b hair 😭😭😭
Yeah! What are the products?
As an ethnically Indian guy, I REALLY love your videos. Between your channel and Katherine sewing, I've learned so much about scalp and hair care. I also think you should continue your herbal info series. Thanks for everything Green Beauty 🙏🏾
Ps: I think you're beautiful and your hair is stunning ❤👌
I like/follow Katherine too!
God have mercy
@@Nethandaon what?
I know this is mainly a African channel and I am asian, but I learned so much from this video facts of my own hair that I didn’t even know! And the many different types of black hair that I didn’t know. And yes many people perm their hair because it is so straight and flat so sometimes we want something different (I didn’t even know some of the perm done in asia is with “relaxers”! This is my first time having a perm done and I know that you can’t dye your hair if you use relaxers so I will double check if I want to dye my hair and if they ask if I had relaxers, I will ask them to do a test strand since there might be a chance (this video is so informative 😊
Do not perm your hair often as the chemicals are harmful to your health.
You can actually color a relaxer. You have to use a specific relaxer.
This isnt an african channel lol
@@danifranc7011she focuses on afro hair…where do you think that hair type comes from.
@@danifranc7011There's nothing cute about being an idiot on purpose. You exactly what she means and "Black" people that don't have identity issues have no problem being referred to as African. Same as any white American person on CZcams in this niche being referred to as a European Beauty Influencer. Grow up.
You are the ONLY person who has given us in-depth knowledge about hair!!!!! You have such a wide array of knowledge and are so informative!! Thank you for truly transforming my hair journey! I always get excited when you post!! Keep up the amazing work!!
Thank you 🙏🏿
Was going to say the same thing, good to see notifications from this channel again🫶👍🥰
Now that I have locs, I have noticed that my hair actually grows quite fast and all of my struggles with lenght was mainly due to breakage. The only downside with locs is that the first year or so it seems like there is very little growth at all.
Same, Sisterlocks ftw!
I just got microlocs too! The longer my hair got the more time it took
I’m on my second year and my experience is so backwards? My loose hair grew so fast bout my locs are literally the same length as when I started
-It’s mainly because the loc has to get heavy enough for gravity to start pulling it downward, which shows off that length.
-Firm believer that newbie locs can be stretched (gently) just like loose curly hair, especially if individual locs are are less dense.
-Example is moisturizing them and then pulling them into 5-8 bubble ponytails and letting that sit for a few hours. Release them, and voila! Greater presentation of length!
P.s. I wishhhh I could lock up like so many of my loved ones, but my hair is too fine to handle the weight, and lots of space between each follicle. So it would just be scalp and strings 😂😂😂
When your locs lie down, THEN you are on your way. 😉
Be patient. It's not a contest.
I love asian hair for the sleekness, thickness and shine. I love afro hair for the body, versatility, and earthy/ natural look.
Another difference is cost. My jaw dropped when I learned how much most of my black friends spend. I’m like “I can probably use dish soap on my hair”-so while I get annoyed with the flat hair I have (too long to still stick straight up), I do like that one shampoo bottle a year is basically all I need.
A friend of mine who was fron Hong Kong, could only get her hair curled when she went on holiday there. Her hair could not hold a curl from curling rods or European perms. I remember being shocked when she shared this, they use a special method there and it lasts for 3 months.
I learned about Asian hair perms years ago when I was watching a lot of black women who lived abroad in Japan, Korean and China. Was very eye opening and I wished more black people took a look at other cultures sometimes just to understand where not the only ones. Not in a competitive way or to diminish black experiences but it was really life changing to know it’s not always just me sometimes.
Black ppl learning other races get relaxers.....does nothing for us though. Relaxers hasn't been a part of Asian, white, and nonblack cultures for generations, like it has for black ppl. Nor does has it psychologically effected other races like it did black girls and women. So, really, we are "the only ones". Which is why we had to have a whole movement just to learn the basics of our hair. It's good to compare cultures, but remember not to conflate the two.
@@bre9328exactly. This is not the same experience in any aspect
And see this is why I like videos like this to combat lies like yours. Relaxers and perms in Asia are still very much in fashion. This is my very problem with some of y’all. I don’t mean literally the exact same experience I mean the fact that no culture is perfect or has issues they go through. The fact that it isn’t copy paste exactly like black people doesn’t mean there is nothing to learn from it. Some of y’all are really ignorant and manipulative. You do nothing for black people by trying to constantly dismiss the learning of anything from outside our community. It is life changing for a black girl to learn that she is not the only race of women that has hair issues. It is eye opening to learn that the grass isn’t greener on the other side. I couldn’t give a single damn if it’s not absolutely exact. 🙄
@@nopeninja9765 "I wish black people would take a look at other cultures"..."And this is my problem with some of yall"....Those two statements, one in your original post, the other in your response, is why I made my comment/why I'm glad I made my comment. You'd have to be a complete moron to not know that other races have hair struggles, we don't need to "look into other cultures" to know that. What we need to know/do is not put our own ppl down, and conflate similar issues other races have with our own simultaneously. Which is what you actually did, which is why you later said "not to diminish", because you already did. Also, in the video, she said Asians short spiked hair, looked like "straight afros" when short and spikey....and it does not...we don't have to conflate reality, to address and learn about hair issues, and that calling/comparing straight short Asian hair to an afro, was definitely conflating. As a black person who is in to other cultures, staying grounded in my own and learning about my own has helped me to not conflate issues. Once again, learning about Asian perms years ago, made me realize they do it for fasion/trends, but black ppl were doing it for life.There's a difference. Learning Asians relaxed their hair, as a black girl, was in no way, shape, or form "life changing".
I learned by being in diverse environments that weren't competitive (in the beauty dept). On one hand you had teenage boys and adult men (unfortunately mostly black) putting non-black women and their hair/features on a pedestal. On the other hand ,I'm in the classroom, ladie's room, and locker room with these women while they're complaining about everything about themselves. And of course, the women who buy into a racial beauty hiearchy will never want someone they consider to be lower on the totem pole, to know about any of their struggles.
i'm AFRO-ASIAN so it's tough to understand my hair. my little brother as a baby had like 4c hair but Also straight strands sticking up all throughout. it was so cute and fascinating.
Omg ur stunning
thank you
Common to have a lesser amount of straight hair in Afro people too.
The Afro hair is straight under the skin; when it comes out the skin it curls.
The straight Asian hair is hollow
As a Blasian I can tell you that Asian and Black hair textures, while holding differences, can hold quite a few similarities as well. For instance our hair is both very dense and thick, thicker than European hair. That is why growing up mixed, I always had the hardest time combing through my Blasian hair because it wanted to STAY tangled 😂
Conventional combs can be instruments of torture for small children.
Yes we have Blasian daughters with tons of thick hair - but OMG is it beautiful!!
Oh my gosh! I never connected the short spiky hair to anime but maybe that's what it is. The spiky look.
I never did until now.
Being of East Asian and African American descent myself this was interesting to watch. I see my hair was destined to be low porosity no matter what. 😂 In my case, the hair that grows from my temples on either side is very silky and smooth in texture. The rest is either sharpie width curly or wavy. A little leave in and gel is enough to get the hold I need but usually my hair will fall flat after three days, so I either wash it or wear it in a braid or a bun until wash day. It's interesting how my hair took on both qualities of each. It is very resistant to water and damage, but can easily be styled. I stopped flat ironing my hair ten years ago. Until then I straightened it every three or four days like clockwork; my hair was always long and healthy but it took so much time I just can't be bothered with it now. Now I just style my bangs and either braid it or bun it.
My friend is of Chinese descent and she has that issue with the baby hair standing up so she uses edge gel.
Afro hair is so beautiful ❤
A really insightful video, as always. I lived in India from 2013-2017, as a young teen, because of my parents work. Aside from indians I had friends from Indonesia, Nepal, Laos, Japan and Angola in our international school. I know most of those countries are in South Asia but their hair also has characteristics you mentioned.
One of my laotian friends asked me to do dutch braids once and her hair was soo pin straight that it would slide easily and I couldn't grip it. Our angolan classmate did manage to braid it since she had more technique and experience than me. Indians had their hair in one or two simple braids as a protective style and our school didn't allow artifical colors so their hair was very well cared for.
I would only let my hair out on special occasions, like traditional school dances were they included us foreigners, and it was easy to do hairstyles on my head that lasted without the need of pins and hairspray. That was also around the time I came across the Natural Hair Movement on CZcams and, thanks to it, I learned to care for my hair and properly style it before the shows.
GB you're the best DNA Scientist. that's your passion and we appreciate it, cause we learn a lot through your hardwork and investigation girl. You're Appreciated 😊
Thank you 👋🏾
Love how you break it all the way down for all to understand!!! It's the distribution of knowledge for me!!!!🧡
This was so informative. My husband is southeast asian and it was cool learning how different our hair is from each other on a scientific level. Thanks for sharing!
I love how there is no hate In your voice whatsoever . You are just comparing two different types of people and that’s great
😮 Wow, thank you ! I didn't know Asians, especially asian men, use perm on their hair in order to change the texture too.
Asian and white people use perms and black people use relaxers.

This was educational, thank you sis
Incredibly informative.
Excellent video!
Excellent video. My favorite part was the explanation on the flaws of hair growth rate measurement method. I always intuitively felt it didn't measure Afro texture hair growth properly. Now I have an concise criticism 😊. About the title, wouldn't it have been better to say African hair vs east Asian as you did in the video?
Thanks for the suggestion. I agree, the title has been changed 💚💚💚
Wow I didn’t expect to see a video like this tonight. What an interesting and informative video. 👏🏾 a perfect breakdown

Welcome back! Well, it been a while since I watched a new video from you. You provide such educational content on hair. I really enjoyed this content. I wonder is their relaxing treatment is eventually going to be found out it is killing them. Thanks for sharing and ta ta for now!
Very good comparison. I love this information about our natural hair.
So cool and informative! Different strengths on both sides I never knew. I hope every hair type loves their hair equally.
Thanks from an infophile! I love the education you are giving us❤!
Infophile! You've introduced me to this lovely word. Thank you!
Visually, afro hair types are their own works of art 🤎 Very interesting and well done video.
You are truly amazing at what you do, and this channel is so informative! Thank you for taking the time to research and pass these messages along❤️
Very nice, in depth, unbiased, comparison. Well done.
The One Off custom hair studio in Taiwan. Their logo is literally an Asian with an afro. Just like you pointed out that Asians get relaxers to lay their hair down, it is true that they also have perms to turn their hair into afro hair. That’s what they specialize in at these studios and their work is mind-blowing. Check out their work, it's crazy.
Thanks so very much Content Developer, Researcher, Presenter or & content reader!!! Just like to say well done you, I've learned a lot & have always recognized textured
hair as being able to be molded into the most beautifully interesting styles from way back right into modern day
I love this video, so I'm gonna watch more videos about all other hair types
Yes, we learned alot of this school. But this video was so much more educating.
I'm going to post this video on my *Dutch hair website,* thank you very much!

Absolutely!!
I love my afro hair ❤❤❤, thank you sis
I love that you included a photo of a taper cut for black hair in the beginning!❤️ short cuts are always beint left out in black hair representation
