Halfrican Beaute Hey My name is Musiah & I have cut my hair off twice and the first time I just wanted to try something new and the second time I had too because it fell out. I bleached it and it really hard to to get my curls back they are real loose and don't curl as well as they use too and it's very frustrating. Also trying to do a a wash and go it also difficult because my curls aren't as PAWPING as before I bleached it . How do I get back to my natural state. The bleach really damaged my hair it has grown out majority of the way but its just like Ugh !
I'm a licensed and seasoned cosmelogist and this is the best informational and professional video I've ever seen. I will use and refer to for hear on out. Congratulations and super proud to see this
i’m hispanic and in no way black but i’m watching this to get educated because i’m so fascinated by the beauty of black hair, and the types of hairstyles.
Hello beautiful young niece/ daughter. I did not intend to write a novella but... In any event, though this post is over 2 yrs old, it was just now recommended to me. I have most certainly needed you! I'm in my 60s and still magnificent! I've never had hair down my back (7-10 inches) but I have always had great volume and what we called a beautiful head of hair. A few year ago my hair began thinning. I've tried all kinds of products to stop breakage, thinning, etc. NOTHING has worked. In fact I've lost over 70% of my hair. Now the length is
Wow this video came out 2 years ago and I'm now finding it. Thank you for this, learned soo much and took notes. I'm now following you! Low porosity High Density Course width 3C - 4B Started Bald working on a Halo Fro (that's how my hair grows)
Girl you are beautiful! This video was dope! One thing I have come to learn about natural hair is that the combinations are endless. Like you said someone can have long curly hair but it is fragile and fine or short strong and thick.... find what works for your hair to thrive. I also wish people would emphasize hair health over length.
OMG! Thank you so much for this video ❤️❤️ I've been on this transitioning journey for about 4 months now and I've been trying to figure out my hair porosity and hair type. You have definitely schooled me girl! Love it 😍😍😍
This series is so helpful! Especially this episode, I've always been confused about my hair's porosity and this really helped me to understand what hair porosity even is! Could you please also do a video on the best (and cheapest!) leave in conditioners and deep conditioners for hair depending on hair type? Where I live, (Ireland) there isn't much care for the natural hair demographic in stores so knowing what to look for would be really helpful! #BEAUTEGang
Thank you soooo much for this. I have been transitioning to natural and have been completely clueless. This series is helping me so much with understanding my hair. Wonderful job!
This video was so helpful, I did not know about hair width at all. You helped me understand my hair in a way that will help me with styling and moisturizing! Thank you!
I'm actually crying, the struggle is too much because I don't understand my hair. Now I'll be able to treat it the way it deserves and love it like it should be loved. THANK YOU best video about natural hair on youtube🙏🙏❤️❤️😌
All I can say is WOW!!! That was a LOT of information and I LOVED every moment!! I love learning about natural hair and I've heard all of these things at least a million times before but your explanations and demo's really made sink in and stick! Thank you for this!!!
Mine is Same and I seriously do need help because of how stubborn my hair is and how stressful it is to out of shrinking and tangling. It's so hard and am almost giving up on this who natural hair journey 😧😢😭. Please how do take of and cope with yours😥
Hi Sweetie, I’m a 62 year old fabulous grandmother of 6, & I feel like I have adopted another granddaughter.(you) LOL! Thank you so much for the wonderful and invaluable information you have shared with us all. I have been locked for 18 years. Made the mistake of cutting it, & due to medications, my hair has become very dry and brittle. But with intense care it’s finally, slowly coming back. It’s just thin on my crown, and shoulder length all over. Now I know the porosity, density, texture and type, thanks to you . Low porosity, low density, fine, type 2-3 (it refuses to hold a curl of any kind). Again, thank you for the information, and delivering it to us in a way that was accurate, interesting, articulate and just ‘plain old fun’. God Bless You 🙏🏽
Thank you so much for this video! I am a white mama raising a black son who has done countless hours of research and spent a small fortune on hair products. After watching this video I realize he has 4c low porosity hair and we need to change up our routine a bit. Thank you again, will definitely be watching your other tutorials.
This was veryyyyy informative!!!! Thank you so much! I have been natural for 5 years!!!! And it’s love/hate relationship but I learned so much about hair that I HAD NO CLUE! I appreciate this video! God Bless 🙏🏾❤️
Lmao it's all about the grind ma'ma haha nah but really, half the videos from this series were recorded a while ago like over the summer and then i finished up the rest when i got back to school and instead of putting them out one at a time so they'd be scattered, i decided to hold off and put them out all at once in a marathon form. Plus, putting all those videos out for everyday last week gave me time to film more videos for the following weeks to come lol it's definitely a formula to this
Thank you so much for this. I’ve been natural for YEARS, but I’ve never understood my hair. I’ve tried so many products and done so much damage that I’ve pretty much just given up. You’ve given me hope that I can actually learn how to take care of my hair!
Very informative. I'm currently taking care of my hair after 35 years of not really doing much. I'm very happy we have women like you who can educate us with ease. The examples were on point. I'm so excited to start my natural hair journey now. Thanks Sis!!!!
Thank you! I wish some people would just say Type 4 if they have a mix of curls. Too often people say 4c just for clickbait. A simple analogy would be like a tanner light skin person giving makeup tips for "dark skin girls". Like hello that is clearly click bait and whilst your makeup may look good and we are all Black women, I can't take a shade reference from you because youre in the medium tan section and i need deep or dark shades. Translation: People with Type 4C hair are like those looking for deep or dark shades. There are so many people trying to get a shade reference but CZcams and social media is filled with sharks trying to get clickbait for 4c whilst they posters are really have some patches of 4c [if youre lucky] and hella 4b/a. Give 4C guys and gals a chance to actually see ourselves on screen. Use Type 4 if you're not sure or you have a mix of hair types. Stop taking textbook 4c folks advantage.
Crazii Cookie i have the same hair and it's crazy but get picked on cause my hair is high density, coarse,and type 4 . But every body assumes that only dark skin hair can be like that and im Caucasian
This series has help a lot I recently just been chopped my hair and this has seriously is helped me maintain my new natural hair. I have a quick question do you think you can make a video on how to maintain a braid out / twist twist-out etc. It would mean the world to me❤
Thank you so much! I think I can finally take care of my hair properly and so many issues I’ve had with my hair make total sense now. I have Medium Porosity/ High Density/ Fine Hair Width/ and 3B/3C Hair Type. Knowing my hair width has helped TREMENDOUSLY! I couldn’t understand why so many people from the natural hair community recommend buns and braids for protected styling and my hair would get so tangled. Honestly my hair does the best when I just leave it alone. I put a cap on when I sleep but DON’T tie my hair up or braid it. Doesn’t help me at all.
Thank you for breaking this down. I recently did a ''reset" and big chopped down to basically a fade. I wanted just to start over. Since I have been natural for a while, the basics were hazy. I really appreciate not having to do excessive research since I've been doing my own thing with my hair for so long. Thank you!!
THANK YOU so so so much for doing all of this research for us! :) I appreciate your hard work so much! You’re right, there’s no videos out there explaining the terminology, even in 2020.... I’m EXTREMELY picky on who I watch on CZcams and I am sooooo glad I came across your videos! Your personality is EVERYTHING and I LOVE how you say Volume like Valium(the loopy drug) 🤣🤣 Seriously tho, THANK YOU 🙏🏼 for making these videos!
I have NEVER commented on anyone's CZcams page/channel, however I must admit you did that 😊 Thank you,Thank you, Thank you.. Your video was EXTREMELY informative, encouraging as well as helpful. Thanks SIS
I learned so much from your video . I believe I’m type 4c, high porosity, high density, with thick strands, I must find a steady hair care regimen. And winter hair care routine! Natural hair is hard work!
So true about type 4 hair! My daughters hair is like that and yes even though it is coarse and wide it breaks easily if not moisturized. But yall can definitely hold a natural style alot longer than us. I tell her all the time just because her hair is different it doesn't mean it's bad. You can have coarse, kinky, thick hair and it is still beautiful and healthy! Thanks for sharing
thank you so much for making these videos. I am 11 just now learning to take care of my natural hair. before my hair was damaged. now its reaching its healthy state, and i'm learning about the beautiful hair my ancestors gave me because of u
When you shower. When you get your hair wet does it take a lot of water for ur hair to even feel wet aka its like it skips ur hair strands and go straight to your scalo or does ur hair gets damp like a mop? If your hair geta like a mop then u have high porosity. If it take forever lkke mine then u have low
Beauty 🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽I have been following you now for 3 days.... I freaking love you! I’m transitioning right now, 4 months post relaxer and you give me so much hope!!!
I have been rockin Locs for 20 years and for the first time in my life I finally know my hair type after watching this video. This is so crazy! All this time I was thinking I was at my most natrual. Still on the journey just a different chapter! Thanks Queen.... Oh FYI my 10 year old shared your video with me..Hahahhaha
Awesome video! Since I stopped relaxing over 10 years ago, i have been learning how to take care of my hair that is a 3b/3c which was so annoying growing up that I opted for relaxer ruining all of my beautiful curls, not to mention the scalp damage. I will never EVER put another relaxer or straightening chemical in my hair again.
You betta school me, Sis!!! Yazzzzzzz !!! 👏👏👏👏This is the most comprehensive, overall explaination and educational tool on natural hair types for people of African origin. Until this tutorial, I just did not get it. Why? Where all the other tutorials or vlogs took the approach to only focus on a certain type of hair (their own), your tutorial is inclusive. You do not assume everyone knows their hair types, what hair porosity, and that hair has a density, and how to determine your hair type. Who knew? I didn't, and I appreciate that you focused on making sure we are all informed. No one else has done that !! Thanks millions !!!👏👊✊ #nonappyheadleftbehind
I saw this video 5yrs ago but I didn't comment on it then so girl you have evolved, you have been my number one since day one I came ago your videos when you were in college, keep up the good work I've learned a lot from watching you peorid! ❤💯❤
Thank you SO MUCH!!!EASY TO FOLLOW-AND helpful!!!-Now I know about the porosity for my hair and more than I knew before. Well done video. I am now one of your subscribers!!! I have so much hair and I am going to keep it now. This info will help me know how to buy products for it now.
Same, but I just did the water test again and got low porosity so I'm just sticking with that. 🤷 (Plus the water test feels a little more accurate but it may just be me.)
Thinner Products Such As "Cantu" or "Kinky Curly's Knot Today" .. Bc Your Hair Has Low Porosity, Your Cuticles Lay More Flat So Much/ Heavy Product Isnt Necessary .
I appreciate you refreshing my knowledge for the first time in years I have decided to stay natural and it’s been stressful I will check to see which one I am and get back with you.
I love that this video was the first video I chose to watch as I have just completed my big chop today to start over for a new beginning! I’m nervous and not feeling too good about my decision right now but I did learn that I have high porosity hair, it’s fine, and when wet I think it’s a type three. I’m not sure yet the type but I will be checking back and keeping up with how to take care of my natural hair. I love curls and I pray that this works out well for me!
I need help! POROSITY: I thought normal bcz my hair keeps moisture and can take all day to dry and I feel in the strands the bumps some more than others . But the cup experiment resulted in low. WIDTH: I have very thin and normal strands all over (3a-3b depending on how I dry it and if I detangle it) then on the top I have a few thick strands that are allways 3c and horrible to manage! And my hair seems to act differently than what you describe... My hair without much care (cheap shampoo and coconut oil as a leave in) looks soft and shiny bleached, natural, or colored. I can go 7 months without a trim and have no need for a trim. I rarely use heat maybe that helps. But no silk pillow are special drying techniques. I actually dry how we aren't supposed to. All this and my gair looks and feels amazing. SO WHAT IS UP WITH MY HAIR?! Im growing out a pixie and I want to go to extremely long and starting to take interest in all of this.
Usually when your hair is multiple textures one of two things, maybe a combination, is going on. It's internal, you need to detox or there is damage present from breakage caused by split ends and/or dryness. Keep in mind u got two textures so your routine may not b helping the problem area. Also, pay attention to your scalp, if it's not tended to it can cause your pores to clog which will prevent the hair from growing as it shud which will result in a off texture as well. Hope this helps!
I've watched hundreds of natural hair videos and I'm like 😵😵😵😵 so freaking much but this video gave me life and much understanding of what kind of hair I have. 😊 Thaaaaaank you finally I feel better 🙄😉 👍👊 good job sister.
jaishon wilson that's right African AMERICAN Sudan is a country which is in Africa which is why it's called Sudanese just like I'm from Florida and we're called Floridians my Father in which was born and raised in Khartoum Sudan broke it down for me Black is African American while on the other hand Sudan is a country in the continent of Africa don't forget there are white Africans too so to say we're black just because it's Africa is completely false people that say that don't know history and geography and those are my subjects
Shama Elshreif there are no white africans ... the south africans you speak of are literally Europeans who went a took over the country so no you dont spit false knowledge if you are from North Africa youre most likely arab but everyone from africa originally are black you know the thig where you have high levels of melanin... plus i agree black is an american term but i mean black is black we all from the same continent in the long run i know that africans tend to say that they are not black and the tribe they arefrom just like white people like to say that they are swedish and german etc instead of white but that doesn’t cjange the fact that they are white. Overall your black and white and native to sat youre sudanese is ok but its just the same thing your dad just isnt from america! Like ok cool doesnt change the fact that its black
I have low porosity hair and it has to be one of the most annnnnoying things ever! Anytime I put gel into my hair it completely dries it out. Does anyone else have this issue?
Excellent job well done on all of your research! It’s been 20+ years since I received my cosmetology license and I feel as if I just took a refresher course, thank you so much! It’s nice to see someone with natural hair like mine who knows exactly how to properly care for it! Got me paying some serious attention to my natural hair instead of my wig! I’ve watched a few of your other videos as well, excellent! Job well done, Sis!👍🏽
I just have to say...you are a natural in front of the camera. So professional, concise and fun. Not sure what your aspirations in life are but a career in Journalism could definitely be one. Keep doing your thing!
BE SURE TO SHARE THIS VIDEO TO YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA!!! Let's help other naturals out!!!

thank you so much for making these videos. I am 11 just now learning to take care of my natural hair. before my hair was damaged. now its reaching its healthy state, and i'm learning about the beautiful hair my ancestors gave me because of u
What if some of my hair strands are bumpy and others are smooth do I have low or high perosity?
When you shower. When you get your hair wet does it take a lot of water for ur hair to even feel wet aka its like it skips ur hair strands and go straight to your scalo or does ur hair gets damp like a mop? If your hair geta like a mop then u have high porosity. If it take forever lkke mine then u have low
@@NoName-sp5dp thank you sis!!!!
Different parts of your hair have different porosity. It’s the same with curl types most ppl have looser frizzier hair at the crown
High Porosity
High Density
Mesium strand
Type 4 I believe.
Glad I found out my hair porosity I have been missing an essential part of my hair routine and now I can address it accordingly👏👏🙂
Beauty 🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽I have been following you now for 3 days.... I freaking love you! I’m transitioning right now, 4 months post relaxer and you give me so much hope!!!
Thank you for starting this series I've been wanting to do a big chop and take better care of my hair it's been so helpful and learned lots.
Density: Sometimes I wonder if I even have a scalp. Parting my hair is difficult because theres always more hair just everywhere.
Noodles4Anime I feel ya that’s me 😣
I have been rockin Locs for 20 years and for the first time in my life I finally know my hair type after watching this video. This is so crazy! All this time I was thinking I was at my most natrual. Still on the journey just a different chapter! Thanks Queen.... Oh FYI my 10 year old shared your video with me..Hahahhaha
I was full of questions about natural hair, and people around me didn't know how to help me, this video is very clear, greatly helpful. Thank you
Beaute gang 😍😊
Imagine my shock at discovering my high density 4c hair is fine!!
Awesome video! Since I stopped relaxing over 10 years ago, i have been learning how to take care of my hair that is a 3b/3c which was so annoying growing up that I opted for relaxer ruining all of my beautiful curls, not to mention the scalp damage. I will never EVER put another relaxer or straightening chemical in my hair again.
Starting my loc journey after being natural for 4 years.. super excited. Vlogging through the whole process ✨ from a spiritual journey.
7:36 is where hair types start💯
I have 4c hair type its so hard to work with
Girl you are an AWESOME TEACHER I've learned so much from you 🙌🏽
So greatful for these videos. I have a mixed little boy and no idea what im doing with his type 3 hair and this is so helpful!
I think I have type 4 hair but how can I tell if it's a, b, or c?
purposedpa the curls
Get a strand of hair one strand pluck it and measure the spiral of it or compare it to different hair type of strands booom
When you realize your hair is a strong mess 😭
You betta school me, Sis!!! Yazzzzzzz !!! 👏👏👏👏This is the most comprehensive, overall explaination and educational tool on natural hair types for people of African origin. Until this tutorial, I just did not get it. Why? Where all the other tutorials or vlogs took the approach to only focus on a certain type of hair (their own), your tutorial is inclusive. You do not assume everyone knows their hair types, what hair porosity, and that hair has a density, and how to determine your hair type. Who knew? I didn't, and I appreciate that you focused on making sure we are all informed. No one else has done that !! Thanks millions !!!👏👊✊ #nonappyheadleftbehind
Great video. Organized, visuals and straight to the point.
Informative video even for a man ... Stay pretty , bless ya queen ;)
This natural hair series is really good 👍👏
I saw this video 5yrs ago but I didn't comment on it then so girl you have evolved, you have been my number one since day one I came ago your videos when you were in college, keep up the good work I've learned a lot from watching you peorid! ❤💯❤
Thank you SO MUCH!!!EASY TO FOLLOW-AND helpful!!!-Now I know about the porosity for my hair and more than I knew before. Well done video. I am now one of your subscribers!!! I have so much hair and I am going to keep it now. This info will help me know how to buy products for it now.
When I pot my hair in water for 10 minutes it stays at the top (low porosity) but when I feel it out it has bumps? (High porosity) so.......
Same, but I just did the water test again and got low porosity so I'm just sticking with that. 🤷 (Plus the water test feels a little more accurate but it may just be me.)
If your low porosity but high density, should I use thick or thin products?
Thinner Products Such As "Cantu" or "Kinky Curly's Knot Today" .. Bc Your Hair Has Low Porosity, Your Cuticles Lay More Flat So Much/ Heavy Product Isnt Necessary .
Hope This Helps 💙💯
Richell Collins it did! Thank you🖤
Molly: tea tree leave in conditioner but water it down a little bit. Your hair will love you forever
SakuraLeti91 Thank you! How much water should I use?
I appreciate you refreshing my knowledge for the first time in years I have decided to stay natural and it’s been stressful I will check to see which one I am and get back with you.
I love that this video was the first video I chose to watch as I have just completed my big chop today to start over for a new beginning! I’m nervous and not feeling too good about my decision right now but I did learn that I have high porosity hair, it’s fine, and when wet I think it’s a type three. I’m not sure yet the type but I will be checking back and keeping up with how to take care of my natural hair. I love curls and I pray that this works out well for me!
I need help!
POROSITY: I thought normal bcz my hair keeps moisture and can take all day to dry and I feel in the strands the bumps some more than others . But the cup experiment resulted in low.
WIDTH: I have very thin and normal strands all over (3a-3b depending on how I dry it and if I detangle it) then on the top I have a few thick strands that are allways 3c and horrible to manage!
And my hair seems to act differently than what you describe... My hair without much care (cheap shampoo and coconut oil as a leave in) looks soft and shiny bleached, natural, or colored. I can go 7 months without a trim and have no need for a trim. I rarely use heat maybe that helps. But no silk pillow are special drying techniques. I actually dry how we aren't supposed to. All this and my gair looks and feels amazing.
SO WHAT IS UP WITH MY HAIR?! Im growing out a pixie and I want to go to extremely long and starting to take interest in all of this.
Usually when your hair is multiple textures one of two things, maybe a combination, is going on. It's internal, you need to detox or there is damage present from breakage caused by split ends and/or dryness. Keep in mind u got two textures so your routine may not b helping the problem area. Also, pay attention to your scalp, if it's not tended to it can cause your pores to clog which will prevent the hair from growing as it shud which will result in a off texture as well. Hope this helps!
Omg the same happened to me I be thinking I’m tripping so I just say normal porosity hair
i got normal porosity
i swear my hair stays moisturized for three days at a time.
Sameeee, used to be high buy consistent deep and interchanging protein changes it
Girl how does it feel to be God's favourite? I have low porosity and it is a STRUGGLE 😭😭😭
I've watched hundreds of natural hair videos and I'm like 😵😵😵😵 so freaking much but this video gave me life and much understanding of what kind of hair I have. 😊 Thaaaaaank you finally I feel better 🙄😉 👍👊 good job sister.
I'm Sudanese, Arabian, French, White, Native American , and Black American with BEAUTIFUL 4c hair
Shama Elshreif sudanese and black are the same french and white are the same
jaishon wilson sudanese and black aren't the same
Shama Elshreif sudan is in africa. They are black. Black is im assuming african american which means both are black
jaishon wilson that's right African AMERICAN Sudan is a country which is in Africa which is why it's called Sudanese just like I'm from Florida and we're called Floridians my Father in which was born and raised in Khartoum Sudan broke it down for me Black is African American while on the other hand Sudan is a country in the continent of Africa don't forget there are white Africans too so to say we're black just because it's Africa is completely false people that say that don't know history and geography and those are my subjects
Shama Elshreif there are no white africans ... the south africans you speak of are literally Europeans who went a took over the country so no you dont spit false knowledge if you are from North Africa youre most likely arab but everyone from africa originally are black you know the thig where you have high levels of melanin... plus i agree black is an american term but i mean black is black we all from the same continent in the long run i know that africans tend to say that they are not black and the tribe they arefrom just like white people like to say that they are swedish and german etc instead of white but that doesn’t cjange the fact that they are white. Overall your black and white and native to sat youre sudanese is ok but its just the same thing your dad just isnt from america! Like ok cool doesnt change the fact that its black
I have low porosity hair and it has to be one of the most annnnnoying things ever! Anytime I put gel into my hair it completely dries it out. Does anyone else have this issue?
I have this issue!!!!
Now I use light, water-based gels, and make sure to style on damp/wet hair. No more styling while hair is dry. No ma’am
I have low porosity hair. Be sure to use the gel after using a cream or use a gel that is water-based, not oil based
I feel u this whole low porosity thing is killing me
Excellent job well done on all of your research! It’s been 20+ years since I received my cosmetology license and I feel as if I just took a refresher course, thank you so much! It’s nice to see someone with natural hair like mine who knows exactly how to properly care for it! Got me paying some serious attention to my natural hair instead of my wig! I’ve watched a few of your other videos as well, excellent! Job well done, Sis!👍🏽
I just have to say...you are a natural in front of the camera. So professional, concise and fun. Not sure what your aspirations in life are but a career in Journalism could definitely be one. Keep doing your thing!
You didn't tell us your porosity
GG Smith she says towards the end her porosity is high. Since her hair is colored, I'm guessing that is a factor in her having high porosity.
AkirSenrab Thank you for clarifying
@@akirsenrab No, it's not.
