Kimmaytube's Length Check

[anon123]

Wow her hair has really grown, how does she keep her hair from shrinking so much?

Yeah, how does she do that? Even when water is streaming over my hair it doesn't get stretched out like that, much less when I've stepped away from the stream. I wonder what the key is.

Her hair is gorgeous. It almost makes me want to take four hours to finger detangle too....

Almost, right? So that's how long she takes. Yikes. I just don't have the patience, but her methods are definitely working. More props to her. She has done an excellent job.

She does that by not being a type 4 lol

Her video really showcased the fruits of her labor beautifully, her methods are really paying off and her hair looks great.

But another thing that became apparent from the wet hair shots where you can see curls from a distance and the amount of hang she gets from no more then some water, was that she inaccurately typed herself (which alota women inadvertently do), she's closer to a 3C then 4 anything.

RusticBeauty is a true 4a head of Coils. Just like me, even when she surpasses MBL her hair will shrink to a microphone shaped, above the shoulders fro....especially when wet, thats when you have the highest level of shrinkage.

I guess I typed myself wrong too because my hair stretches under a stream of water and Kim is pretty much my hair twin and I've always considered myself 4a/4b.

When she original made a video stating her hair type, her hair was shorter. Isn't it common knowledge that when your hair gets longer, the curls may stretch as well? That is as a result of the weight and age (as a result of long time manipulation) of the hair.

Let me know if I'm mistaken.

I love how the longer someone's hair gets, the lower their hair type becomes....

And Rustic Beauty is a self-proclaimed 4b, which she is.

I'm not the one to feed too much in the whole "hair type" phenomena, nor do I feel it's that serious, but Kimmaytube is DEFINITELY a 4 type natural. All you have to do is watch earlier videos of her hair unadulterated. You never see the looser spirals that define type 3c hair, so I'm confused in this lower jump.

Everyone's hair at the end of the day is different. Two different heads of hair can have the same "hair type" but behave differently.

 

[hairsothick]

Kimmay is 4a/4b. Her earlier videos and pictures prove that. Her hair was dripping wet so she got as much hang as possible out of it. My hair hangs under a constant stream of water too and I'm 4a/4b.

 

[Priss Pot]

Kimmay is a type 4a/3c mix, IMO, her hair just elongates now that it's longer and heavier. Rustic Beauty is a 4b.

 

[greight]

^^^^ OT, but Priss Pot you look gorgeous. Love the look.

I honestly never thought that Kim was a 4 type, even when it was shorter. She looks like a 3c to me.

And there are different variations of all types as well. My 4b isn't the same as another's 4b. Just because I have coils/spirals doesn't mean that I'm a 4a. I can still be a 4b.

Exactly. Im 4b and my hair WILL hang similarly to hers with a stream of water like that. It is only after like ten minutes after that my hair will become increasingly shrunken.

I mean, how many 4 type naturals with waist length hair do we get to see all the time on Youtube? So obviously it is new to some people. Hair elongates as it gets longer.

 

[anartist4u2001]

Kimmay doesn't look like 3C to me. she looks like maybe 4a.

i am mostly 4b, but i have spots that are 4a. when i got under water, my hair does that. when i get from under the water, it will start to skrink up.

 

[naturalmanenyc]

When I think of 4b hair I think of hair that has 50% - 75% shrinkage like this:

YouTube - Natural Hair Growth 101: Hair Washing Pt 2

Or of course mwedzi‬‏:

I guess I am mistaken if Kim is also 4b.

I'll step out and say that 4b hair doesn't elongate as it gets longer, gets heavier. It may grow wider (as in a bigger puff), but I don't think it ever truly hangs in the same way that 3c and above can. With water, it can elongate, as you said yourself, but as it dries, it shrinks.

Maybe some 4a's can hang, but they may add some products so it doesn't shrink up as much. It all depends on their curl pattern, I think.

and this means????

dieing laughin'. it's saying "dead" or "death". that's Patti Labelle. LMAOOOOOO

 

[anartist4u2001]

She fainted/died/passed out....

That's Ms. Patti ain't it!! Lawd she is extra

girl ain't she extra? she makes good .gifs

 

[NikStarrr]

The hang and what appears as a change in texture is from length. I'm a 3c/4a and since my hair has reached BSL+ my wash n go's now look almost completely 3c. It definitely was a lot curlier/shrinkier when it was shorter.

[~VicTorIAn~]

Her hair can hang like that because it's not dense.

Your hair is awesome. I always figured you were a straight up 3C or lower.

I agree with naturalmanenyc about the 4b description. It seems that Kimmay has a slightly looser pattern in the front of her head, which is why I would consider that portion a higher type 3, but the rest a type 4(a). Her hair soaking wet is almost similar to mine, except my whole front section is 3-like, while my crown is strictly a type 4.

But I dunno now, I thought I knew "types" when I saw it since I've been here for a few years, but it seems that every year there's a new type along with a new definition of the old ones .

heyeeelll I thought she was my hair twin too
my hair looks EXACTLY like that wet & when applying product (moisture) like here YouTube - ♡♡♡LUVNaturals #5 Conditioning Stretching black type 4 hair... and dry i have ZERO curl pattern
don't know my real type now..... but don't care much, I'll continue to jump around as i have been

rep yo' cittttttty!!!!

.

Thanks! Nope, if you look at my early hair albums post-BC, you'll see that my hair is 3c/4a. And it looked like more 4a back then!

I agree. I am a 3C/4A mix and we both have very different hair types. She looks like a 4A to me, although I think the whole hair typing system is stupid anyway and everyone doesn't fit, which is why we're having a hard time placing her.

I think her hair elongates a lot with water because it is fine. I have fine hair and it stretches out very easily under the shower stream and looks pretty long and wavy, but it literally shrinks up before your eyes as it dries. In her comparison pics she is coming right from under the shower stream.

Fine hair tends to fill with water very fast and very easily to manipulate (as well as break) which is also why I think she takes 4 hours to detangle because she's very delicate with it. I'll never take that long but whatever--she's hardcore.

...so no straightening video yet?

I definitely agree with this. Kimmaytube's hair looks very similar to mine and I am definitely not a 3 anything. I think fine strand type 4s sometimes behave very different from coarser ones. Some of my hair has visible coils when wet or with conditioner/oils on it. But as soon as it starts to dry its just a frizzy afro.

 

[empressri]

if she's a 3c then im a 2a

 

[nikolite]

if she's a 3c then im a 2a

That's what I was thinking too.

Girl I was just kidding, hence my chardonnay at 10:30am comment. Everyone seems to be doing just fine.
