Good for her. Her hair really could thrive with just water and oil but okay.
Lawd, damned if you're natural, damned if you're natural with 3C or less curls. We just can't win...... Sent from my iPad using LHCF
Well, if she's going to be brand ambassador for a company with a product named "Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie," then yes I do expect them to have brand ambassadors with my hair texture who can truly attest to the "curl enhancing capabilities." 3b/3c hair will usually curl with minimal effort.
And ALL 4a/b/c hair textures have a curl pattern. You are sadly mistaken when you say "some hair is not meant to have curl poppin." Please educate yourself and stop posting such ignorant things. I have 4b hair and my curls are popping and beautiful fresh out the shower, but for some reason when they dry, they sometime turn into frizz. If you do not know enough about all hair textures, you need to refrain from spewing your stupidity. @JaneBond007
Cool, but she's like a 3c. Can we get a beauty ambassador whose at least a 4a or 4b? I'm tired of these 3c beauty ambassadors who don't even really need "good" products to get their curls poppin.
I am also disappointed in the complaints. They just drip with envy and an inferiority complex. Instead being upset she was selected, rally that others be selected as well. Don't diminish her hair journey and struggles because it is not yours. Don't play oppression Olympics - hair edition because you never come out looking good from those.

Isn't Jenell from Kinky Curly Coily Me also a brand ambassador? I know she's in the 4s.
She is affiliated with them somehow because she was working the booth with them at the WNHS in Atlanta doing interviews, talking to people, etc.
This hair type discrimination mess is getting toxic erplexed

Are you referring to the companies that do this or natural ladies?
That's subjective because it depends on the individual and their hair. Here's an example though: for most of us, Luster's Pink Oil Moisturizer was the devil. But growing up there were plenty 3b,3c Black women and kids who used it and loved it. It wasn't moisturizing or detangling enough to work for the majority of Black women, but for others who were fortunate to have less kinkier hair textures, it was just fine for them. Thus, they weren't holding products to the same "rigorous" standards that someone like me did.ellebelle88 what's a "good" product?

I don't know what you all mean by no one is celebrating her success because I clearly congratulated her and I'm happy for her. I just also mentioned that these hair care companies need to have more diversity. It's the same thing with the movie industry casting Paula Patton for every Black female role. Her look is not representative of the average Black woman. Yall act like there's something wrong with wanting a wide range of representations of Black people. We are our own worst enemy. Instead of advocating for more, we always are just so happy to settle when we finally get one foot in the door. Such backwards thinking.

I "twisted" your words by asking you a question?
Mahogany curls doesn't look anything like Paula Patton, so what's the correlation?...
On which of your posts did you "clearly" congratulate Mahogany Curls?
Girl stop. I was simply trying to make a case that one product that may work fine for one hair texture, will not be the holy grail for us with kinkier hair textures. I was watching a documentary and studies shows that there is much more (on-going) research on things that affect white people, like dandruff and bleaching/coloring hair, than research on the structure of Black hair.ellebelle88
You believe that all the 3b & 3c hair ladies on this site can just start using lusters pink oil & be just fine? Their curls will be popping & their hair will be growing & in great health using lusters pink oil just like it would be if they were using higher end products?
You seem to be more of an expert on 3b/3c hair than those that have 3b/3c hair, you should start educating the masses. I'm going how throw out my Moroccan oil, Agadir, Joico, keracare & switch to lusters pink oil. I can't believe I never thought to go buy that same smelly, greasy, dirt-attracting pink oil my grandma used on my hair back 1989. What was I thinking?...
First we all should know by now that it isn't just about curl size (3b/3c/4a..). Just because two people both have 3c hair it doesn't mean they can both thrive using lusters pink oil. What about texture, porosity, density?.. Maybe you are under an ill formed assumption that it's just easy street for all 3b/3c hair, 5 minute detangling session, frizz free popping curls 24/7...
Do you see how long Mahogany curls takes on those videos doing her wash & go's & those hair styles like Bantu knots, twist outs etc? If her hair was that easy shouldn't it take like 5 minutes?
Does she use the 3b/3c holy grail product known as lusters pink oil?

3b/3c is a curl size not a hair texture.
