Predominately, found in the black culture, 4c Natural Hair is the definite confirmation that you are black or that you for sure have some black in you somewhere. To my knowledge, there is not another breed of people who naturally have a hair texture that is quite like ours. It is by far the kinkiest, the coarsest, and sometimes the driest. Our 4c hair shrinks a whole lot when it gets wet, it can tangle very easily if you're not careful, and it often has very little "curl" definition.
☝🏾HOWEVER
These characteristics do NOT equate to having "bad or nappy hair". In fact, who told you that your hair type was bad??? 4c Natural Hair is very special because no other race can fully identify with it. It expresses your uniqueness in this world. And I want to encourage all of you to STOP referring to your hair in a negative way. Understand that the words your speak and the thoughts you think hold power and your perspective becomes whatever you believe.
☝🏾REMEMBER
We were conditioned early on to believe that our hair was not impressionable. We were convinced that in order to succeed that we must conform to ways that were never natural for us. We started to straighten and chemically alter our hair simply because we THOUGHT that "fitting in" was the right thing to do. We did not fully understand the damage we were causing ourselves internally, externally, and generationally by doing these things.
☝🏾BUT ONCE YOU KNOW BETTER YOU DO BETTER
Now that we understand the importance of accepting our blackness and uniqueness we can begin to truly grow from it and flourish in the ways that we were designed to. But first, as 4c Naturals, we need to understand that it is imperative that we commit to learning our hair type, helping one another, and enjoying the transformation in the most positive way possible. Speak only health and great things over your hair journey and watch it grow long and strong!
