r/coilyhair

My 12 year old daughter has extremely dense , 3c / 4a prone to dryness and frizz particularly crown area. We've always followed the typical curl advice but her hair frizzes and inflated and because of this it knots up and she hated to have it down. She used to like the volume but not can't stand it and she can't even tie her hair in a ponytail as it's so thick. I can do it but she can't do anything herself and it's starting to get her down.

Photo of her hair after last haircut. Can see it's been defined and diffused but the top bit inflates so much and doesn't curl very well it gets uncomfortable for her.

She also has a very petite face so she would like something less overpowering if that's even possible?

Any tips or advice? She doesn’t like braids etc.

Thank you 🙏

Lol I never dressed like this before but I feel like it really works for me, what do you think. Btw my hair is not combed rn. On my other post there's a Pic of my hair 30 mins out the shower (combed) and this is 30 mins out the shower (nappy) which is better?

Idk if my hair is considered "Black hair", but it's really starting to fill my mind. Is it bad? Idk people tell me hair is the woman or whatever. Is there anything I can do to make it look better?

I just took out my braids and this is how much hair I shed. I also struggle with breakage like I have small bulbs of hair that come out when I comb my hair and it leaves a mess. I’ve trimmed but I don’t really see an improvement. I also have 4c hair, medium density, medium/thick strands. Please help.

I didn’t know what to do because I moved from a state that had a dry climate. I used to be a natural hair warrior but I don’t know what to do now. Anything would help I have low porosity hair, and type 4b-4c. I also don’t know how to cornrows hair but yea any style suggestions?

Sometimes it looks like 4a other times it looks like 3b/3c

I wore a low cut for about 4 years before deciding to grow my hair back out. But this time, I said absolutely NO wigs, extensions, braids, or even twist-outs. Natural coils only ☺️

The wash-and-go is now my signature style, and I get compliments on my hair almost every time I go out. I’ve developed a routine that I truly love and never thought was possible! Just wanted to share for inspiration!

i used crochet and sunshine as inspiration for this loooookkk

Hey everyone!

I had my last relaxer on January 10th after having my hair relaxed since I was 5 years old, so I've literally never seen my real hair texture before!

I’m trying to figure out what my natural curl pattern/type looks like as my new growth comes in, but I'm having a hard time reading it.

Based on these root pictures, what curl pattern or texture range does this look like to you? Also, any tips for managing this specific texture at the demarcation line while transitioning would be so appreciated!
Thanks!

I recently started actually wearing my hair out (I e not in a slick back) and starting to feel super discouraged. My hair is always frizzy and nothing I do seems to work. The crown area is also disastrous. My last trim was end of May so I’m assuming I need to go in for another one? Any tips?
