#4c help

Any 4c girls have naturally thin hair? I did my big chop about 6 years ago and have cut it repeatedly since until about 2 years ago. Now, my hair is shoulder length, but I’m realizing its on the thinner side and when i stretched my hair out, it just falls over.  Does anyone have tips specifically for thin 4c hair?

Hi! I am about to graduate soon, and I was wondering if you possibly have any suggestions on how to do natural hair with wearing a graduation cap in mind?

First of all, CONGRATULATIONS!!!! There are a few vids on youtube about this and this one was my favorite! I wish I had known about this when I graduated. It’s so simple. :D

4c Help

“ I want to love my 4c hair. I'm just tired of dealing with it. Not enough to go back to relaxing, though! I do wish I didn't look so ridiculous in a TWA, because that was the most convenient hairstyle ever. Nothing like walking into the barbershop and having all the dudes letting me go first (so that they could go back to talking about whatever)! I just want someone to tell me they understand where I'm coming from. :( “ - @wonderingstrawberry

#4C HELP

I've been natural for four years and I haven't seen much hair growth at all. I know I suffer from breakage so when my hair does grow it loses it's length quickly. I wear my hair in protective styles: braids, twists, wigs, and try to deep condition and wash my hair once a week. I'm feeling extremely discouraged. I love my hair texture, but I hate that it can't grow, and that I honestly don't know what to do anymore. I need help! Any advice?

Hi hi!! I have 4c hair too and usually keep it braided, I'm not natural, I straighten it every now and then, but to grow it make sure it's moisturized. I use: Wild Grow, Doo Grow, or the Olive Oil ORS. Make sure you clip your ends often, it makes a huge difference trust me!!! I clipped my ends like a month ago and my hair grew like half an inch! Make sure your not leaving the styles in too long or it'll break off!

Sleep with a humidifier if you can, tie your hair up at night, sleep on a satin pillow case, trim dead ends, and if all else fails, look into shorter styles that frame your face.

When you separate your hair make clean cuts. Don’t use products with alcohol.

If youre into diy, try an Overnight condition (made a huge diff for my hair). and include the water from boiled Rosemary leaves into your routine.

You aren’t the only one , for our hair type oil really helps , coconut oil, Jamaican castor oil even Shea butter! Makes it softer! Sometimes your hair isn’t even breaking off it just dry. Took a long time for me to realize that ! Protective styles help but keeping your hair moisture is key! Oiling it everyday and protecting it from sun . Little combs sucks, that takes away! I’ve seen and learned to use really bug combs and even hand detangle. I’ve been natural for almost 7 years and my hair is just now growing how it’s supposed to grow!

Do you or your followers have some advice? My hair is mostly 4b-c all over my head, but for some reason, my nape is really loose. Like, type 2 loose. It makes styling harder, because twists or flexi rods in that area always fall out. I've only been able to bantu knot the nape. All the articles online are for people with loose hair with kinkier napes. Any general advice?

I have this exact issue! I think it might be from heat damage though. I’ve been trying to heat style less and condition more and it’s gotten a lot betterIf I do twists all over my head i do Bantu knots on the twists on the back to make it a little more uniform.

did you use to thermal style the nape of your hair with special attention? I ask because your hair is my hair except that the part of my hair that is like 2c loose is closer to the front where I used to have bangs. The reason it’s loose for me is because the hair is heat damaged, which I’m deciding whether or not I’ll grow it out or cut it. That could be what’s wrong and the only remedy I have for you is to cut the hair or grow it out.

The nape of my neck is loose as well, maybe 3b? I usually make all parts at the nape a little larger to incorporate some of the 4c hair right above it. If I’m rolling my hair I use something slightly smaller and separate the curls after. A smaller roller, no matter the type, seems to hold on better. When I twist, I twirl each piece in the same direction, and twist in the opposite direction, and that helps as well.
