What the 4A-4C can learn from the 3A-3C
How To Create Volume
Masters of disguise these type 3 curlies are. They love big hair, and especially if their hair tends to be on the fine side, they know how to turn what seems like spaghetti noodles starting out into an obnoxious, overwhelming, larger than life fro. This no joke, these girls are pros!
I love them I follow their channel ! And yes, we can learn a lot of things with them about our hair ! 🙂
I learnt a lot from Whitney about my hair only having a TWA lol and her texture differs from mine
I even learn from white girls loool each one teach one. We can all learn from each other so yes you can. I’m more into my 3c 4a and 4c curlies but 2s and 1s can get it too. Especially when I straighten my hair naturally they have all the tricks (the 2s and 1s) who cares. And it’s hair type not texture they are two different things.
Yes you can you just have to keep in mind your results may differ due to different textures.
Not on products no! Maybe some hairstyles
Pretty girls w/pretty hair!
Thats a good question. I do follow naturalistas whose hair texture is different than mine. This is mainly for techniques but i know my finished product likely wont look exactly like theirs because our textures are different. Its ok though lol.
I don’t know. I have the same texture as naptural85
Yes
Knowledge is power ! learn all you can !
