14 is ironic bc the natural hair movement was initially created for tighter curled naturals, so us accepting our hair should've been a given, instead we found ourselves a new hair insecurity (not having loose enough curls) and thus perpetuated more hair hate, that we are only now undoing.

One thing I noticed about all the 4c naturals I've seen here on KZitem that have gotten a lot of length is the vast majority are obviously FIT! Considering how much obesity plagues the black community, I don't think that is a coincidence. As someone who struggles with building healthy habits guys, I KNOW it's hard as hell, but if you're serious about growing your hair out as fast as possible, or are at a length plateau, try EATING RIGHT AND EXERCISE REGULARLY! (If you don't already). What I think happens a lot of times when we eat too much crap is that our bodies do not get enough nutrition, and proper nutrition is necessary for healthy hair growth. It IS possible to suffer from malnutrition when you eat a lot of crap and/or are overweight. They call them "empty calories" for a reason! Limit the amount of junk food and processed foods you consume, drink tons of water, and MOVE MORE. Not only will you look and feel better all around, but it WILL help your hair grow faster as well.

Awww baby! I danced for years, and when I was growing up, people used to say I was manly. I had abs, muscular arms, strong thick legs from dance. I used to feel badly because I thought I wasn't girly enough, I was too manly." But the gag is, a lot of the boys making fun of me ended up having a huge crush on me before I left high school. They liked that I was in shape lol. Being fit and healthy is NORMAL and GOOD. Don't let anyone make you feel you aren't pretty or desirable because you don't have arm fat! The only way to get over it is by wearing sleeveless tops, crop tops, or whatever shows off your arms. I used to be nervous about wearing sleeveless shirts because I had broad shoulders, but I got over it over time. Just go for it! Get used to owning your body in this summer heat

I've been natural since 2010. I have 4b/4c hair and been through so many trials and errors that I ended up losing count. Started from a fade all the way to armpit length. I followed bandwagons, was a product junkie, did a little bit of everything the first 3 years of my hair journey. If I would've kept it simple, MOISTURIZED, have a steady hair regimen, knew that my hair was low porosity and stayed away from heat (unless its for deep conditioning) then I would've been able to retain so much more length within 7 years for a fact..hell my fiance's hair grew from a fade and surpassed my armpit length hair in 4 years and all he did was co wash and use shampoo twice a month if that!!! I'm starting over, did my big chop last month back to a fade, I'm more confident this time around .1st time around it was all about growth but this time around I'm more focused on the health of my hair.

It's funny that you wanted type 3 hair. I'm 3B/3C and when I first started m journey 6 years ago, I really waned type 4 hair. I made myself believe that I was 4C. I wanted the thick juicy hair so badly. Then I realized that I already had thick juicy hair. It was just in a looser curl pattern than 4C. Can't tell me nothing about my hair now, my hair reaches the clasp of my bra now and it's big and beautiful. I still think type 4 hair is gorgeous though, and a part of me still wishes that I had it lol but not as much as I did at the beginning of my journey.

Im 3c 4a and girl there times when the 4 takes over! One of the problems i had was there weren't enough 3c videos for guidance! So i was following tips for 4c and couldn't understand why my hair was breaking off! Duh your hair isn't as coarse i said to myself. 3c tutorials don't style coarse enough so when i finally found combination videos i was able to take the best tips from each one now my hair is really stsrting to blossom and becoming more manageable. So i was feeling you when you said not to let the journey of influence my journey. Things happen in their own time and i truly love my hair now! 3yrs and counting. On the right path for 1+yrs. Keep on being real!

You're absolutely right. In the beginning there were SOOOO many natural yourubers trying to spit knowledge for ALL hair types.

WOW! I saw myself in a lot of these mistakes. I think the one that always stands out to me is letting someone else do your hair. I don't know, but it seemed to me that when my hands were in my hair, my hair thrived. When I let other people do my hair it was always cut. I even try going to a beautician with long hair. She still cut my hair short. I guess it just means that I really know what's best for me and my hair. Starting over right now. Not discouraged but this video couldn't have reached my attention at a better time. Thank you!

Coconut oil is really bad for my hair. It made my hair became dry and frizzy and that lead to breakage so I stopped using it. Now I'm using castor oil and I love the outcome of it😍😍😍😍

Coconut oil pulls the protein from the hair especially the organic unrefined coconut oil. Maybe good to reverse protein overlaod🤔 Peace blessings & 🖤💚💛

Thank you for making this video!!!! Anyone that uses coconut oil Try to use heat to open the cuticle for absorbing if it still fails seek oils that work for your hair

Your hair is absolutely gorgeous! I'm so guilty of being scissor happy. My hair does grow, and not all that slowly, but I'm not a patient woman. I'm working on it though. You are giving me GOALS! Love it!

Guuurrl this video was definitely meant to be. I'm just starting my journey and I'm ready to cry my eyes out. I've been in braids for so long I forgot I had type 4c hair. Delusional! I've watched so many videos over the years and learned a lot so I felt pretty comfortable coming out the hair closet (if you will 😁). But oooow chile, I've been telling myself how much I love myself and love my hair (to not give up) like every other hour! I really appreciate your honesty and sharing your journey. I just hope I'm not too old now to get my hair back popping! 😉 Thanks again and keep up the good work! Wish me luck, prayers, kum-by-ya and all that good stuff because I'm gonna need it! 😁

I did the opposite, I ignored protein and over moisturized my hair. Now I know how important it is to use both. This was such an eye opening video. Thank you.

Right. I notice my friend always is rough with my hair when I let her do it. So I'm going to just do it myself.

fine point you made about looking at other ppl hair and not being realistic about your own. watching others tends to make you stop doing something that might have been good for you and steer in a direction that can do harm. like you said its your baby and no one knows your baby better than you

This is such a fantastic video. Every point is on point especially about health over length. My hair is better off straight because the knots are insane and most of my breakage is from ruffing through the the knots, so yes this is a great video.

LOVE this. I have a pretty good and consistent regimen and I've learned my hair and learned to love my hair but there are certain hair mistakes I still make (doing my hair when I'm tired for one... GUUUUUURRRRRL!)

I really really enjoyed this. THANKYOU!!! I just started my journey (for real started) one year ago. I'm 61, all gray and I refuse to color or use chemicals ever again! As I continue aging I wanna wear 2 "fat, long" cornrows for my signature style. Long as in below the shoulders. You're right most of us have 4 something hair & we've gotta get the process right if we wanna see real results. Again thank you!! Oh yeah I use a mixture of olive, Jamaican black, & vitamin E oils. It's working.
