Dear Ladies,
Those who don't like to hair type, can you explain your reasons?
My reasons:
1. I think the volume of the hair is a little bit more important that the actual 'type or grade' of hair. For example, my hair is fine just discovered that last year and it changed my hair care regime
2. Politically reminds me of what the colonists tried to do in Africa, a race within the race (Bantu, Nubian, Nilotic = all African but different races), creation of more division within our race
3. I have too many different textures on my hair to limit my hair to a type, can one say 1/4 4a, 2/4 4b, 1/4 3b (get my point!!!!!), Soon skin typing my back is a light brown but my butt is dark brown......
4. Even with the hair type my hair still does not perform what the typing system purports it is suppose to do (for example, certain products make my hair go curly others shrink it up with no curls), I can fool the type detectors because one day my hair looks one type and the other day looks another depending on product
5. Self-validation if the hair is 3C (and under) and disappointment if 4a or 4b/c/z
6. The typing system will never stop, we will create 4a to 4z soon 5a
7. Accept that our hair is unique each person has different things that work for them even though for the most part afro-textured hair tends to be drier and more fragile, so no two heads of hair even with the same type can necessarily use the same regime. Our hair is too diverse to just confine it to a type like the others.
Best,
