Kimmaytube's Length Check

[Mandy4610]

Removing SSKs with a needle? Wouldn't that do more harm than good? If people are scared of brushing and mechanical damage to the cuticle, then what do you think a sharp needle would do constantly picking at the same spot over and over? Wow, needling one's hair is a bit extreme, but I guess erplexed. She must not get SSKs that much then.

That does sound a bit too extreme and quite impossible. I was inspecting my ends and I came across some SSK and I can't imagine how removing them with a needle would work.

i do agree that the texture as opposed to curl is throwing people waaaaay off a bit

the 3c, 3c/4a & 4a threads have me all day like... ya'll playin'.... maybe one day I'll get it right & stop jumping threads

silkiness....if you run your fingers down the piece of kinkiest hair sometimes it feels silky even if it has the appearance of wool. said hair gets damaged easily, so looks are deceiving!

You know, now that I think about it...I can imagine using a needle on ssk. Only because sometimes when looking at some, I remember seeing a loop, too small for fingers and too small for a comb but a needle, it just may do the trick. Just when you think you have to get rid of perfectly fine hair....hair that may be able to salvage....pull out your handy dandy needle.

This has got to be the funniest all day!!!

 

[HappilyLiberal]

Actually she said she was going to straighten at the end of January. Given the amount of editing she does on her videos, it may be another week before we see that video.

Although I'm grateful for the movie quality vids, she has gotten us all on the brink. It's not right, it's just. not. right.

LMAO @ that gif ^

 

[sylver2]

this is funny because i finally viewed a Kimmaytube for the 1st time. i needed to find some natural info for my daughter. After viewing her hair i was confused on her hair type. i'm a 4 and my natural hair never hung like that. long or short. immediately shrinks when water touches it.So i came in to ask if anyone knew her hair type laawd wasn't expecting an already long 'discussion' on hair typing.

 

[sylver2]

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.

hmm..okay maybe that's it
this kimmaytube hair is gorgeous though. i forwarded her channel info t my daughter.

What are "ssk's"?

What are "ssk's"?

Single strand knots. The bane of our existence.

 

[SerenavanderWoodsen]

^^Ohhhhh, those things! Yes, I remember those well from my pre-heat damage days lol. I used to snap them off lol. I used to wonder HOW in the heck they happen? I mean really, scientifically how do those happen and they're so tight too. How do they reach that level of tightness lol? I haven't seen one in a while because I keep my hair flat ironed most of the time plus my ends are stick straight from that darn flat ironing all the time .

It reminds me of when I'm hand stitching something and my thread gets a knot. It's a single thread, how in the heck?! It's so frustrating. It's 10x worse when it's in your hair though.

 

[LiberianGirl]

Her retention, not growth is very impressive IMO. If retention was so easy we wouldn't have 50-11 threads about setbacks and how to retain length better.

 

[SweetNic_JA]

Her hair is phenomenal, but she's definitely not a type 4. If she is a 4 then I'm a 5.

Read post #196 in this thread and tell me what she is

 

[mostamaziing]

I. Want. HER. Hair!! >



.. seriously iwonder if she plans to grow it AL

 

[theAlist]

As for Kimmay's hair it looks great! I do feel a way about this whole "Well she's not a REAL 4" business. Oh really?

Let me have come in here saying "What's my hair type? I think I'm a 3...whatchu guys think?" And posted these:

My thread would have gifs of Aeries Spears bringing out that chair and slamming it down, popcorn being passed and lets not forget the DRANKS!

Yes, she is a 4. If you saw that video in high quality that I snaggedthe pics fromm you'd see tiny coils! Yes, as her hair got longer, it stretched! As she upped her moisture, her curls started clumping more! It happens!! It's happened to many of us, it's happening to me! This dismissal of seeing long hair with some curl and automatically negating it from a 4 is annoying because imho, subconsciously it's like still saying "Well, you MUST be x hair type to get this. This type can't be that."

Now that my hair has some length and curl to it, suddenly it's not cause I'm caring for it! It's cause "oh, well you have that type of hair." Oh REALLY?! When were you saying that when I big chopped a year ago?! I was regular ole nappy nap!
