A Black salon taught me a lot. I'm mixed (Japanese, Black, Cherokee) and always hated my frizz. When I was young, my father (Black & Cherokee) would only mask the frizz with gel. I hate that feeling of scratching a spot and coming away with product on your hands. A Black salon told me about acidic hair masks and how they relax the hair scales, smoothing and eliminating frizz. I've been doing that since, and now my hair texture feels like my mom's (Japanese). No other product is needed now besides a heat protector when straightening ❤.

Tbh, her texture just reminds me of a blow out on Black hair. If she was surrounded by more black women, she probably would have been complimented more on her glass hair.

What this video failed to convey is what "Uncombable Hair Syndrome" is. It's a medical condition in which the actual hair shaft is triangular-shaped rather than like a round tube, and goes out in different directions. It's a genetic anomaly and is not related to race in any way. Typically, it tends to change and eventually grow out like everyone else's hair as the child ages into adulthood. Children with UHS tend to have very fine, fair, thin, and wispy hair that sticks out like a halo. Hair products can thicken the hair to give it weight and manage it better. But it's not "black" hair, which is perfectly normal.

It’s typically extremely brittle and can cause other health problems as well.

What she has is just similar to African hair, which is manageable. I’m surprised she didn’t realize that and see a black hair stylist a lot sooner.

I met a young girl some years ago who had the most interesting texture of hair and I think that she may have had this condition. Her mom said that she started getting the girl Brazilian blowouts at the age of six because she was getting bullied by the other children.

Yes, afro hair is that fragile if you damage it to that point for years. It ended up wavy but as she transitions and treat the root hair growth properly, is very very likely type 4 and stronger.

It’s like two different women…she looks gorgeous and most of she got her confidence back..bless her ❤

Having a formal diagnosis can be SO validating. Then being guided through maintenance for incurable conditions is such a wonderful next step. I am SO happy she was able to get help 🥰

Boyyyyyyy THE STYLES SHE COULD DO!!!

The black woman effect.

Yes black queen knew just what to do ! God bless the amazing women

I think she is so beautiful.

I’m so confused how this is a condition?? She had curly hair the whole time and was brushing them out so her hair was frizzy. What am I missing?

The mutation isn’t the fluffy hair it’s actually the straightness. Her ancestors probably had coily hair at some point.

@@malikastoneshe is not. It is a genetic condition, a mutation, this mutation is not in people of color or causing POC to have a certain type of hair.

I love the fullness of her hair. It’s beautiful ❤

omg i love her natural hair

The doctor's hair is so pretty. As for the client, all she needs is moisture and maybe a little heat.

Chile !!! I spend hundreds of dollars buying human hair wigs that texture and length. I think her hair is beautiful. I hate that she got bullied for it as a kid.

My hair has a similar texture to this or at least did. Then I stopped using shampoo and conditioner and just began washing the roots once a week with paraben free baby wash, I have used the Johnson's one and others. My hair finally looks normal. It's kind of wavy but not that much. Before this I wasted so much money on hair products for years. Heat only made it worse. It was an awful situation. My hair looked and felt like candyfloss for years and I hated it so much.

Her hair looks like one of the best blow outs I've ever seen! Can't wait to see the results❤ Her baby pics were adorable 🥰

I'd like to see a comparison of this hair texture and Type 4 textures. I'm genuinely curious about any similarities or differences.

Stunning before and after. The biggest difference was how she felt about herself. That's where the glow came from. So happy for her! ❤️

She has beautiful thick hair. This just shows when you aren’t around people who understand you then you will feel bad about yourself. Had she been raised around black people she would’ve gotten so many compliments on her hair and had a totally different experience. Always go well here you are appreciated ❤

For those commenting on how they liked it better...consider it doesn't matter what we think, the pain and shame associated with hair is HER reality. A lifetime of hair pain, and now she feels confident. That's all that matters. ❤

This girl has all this beautiful hair and was crying over it. I feel bad that they made fun of her as a child. They were most likely jealous. I’m glad she was able to get some help with knowing how to take care of her hair. It is very nice hair

Funny thing is when I saw the thumbnail I thought it was a picture of a light complexioned black woman with a blow out. I read the caption “six hours on hair” and looked at her length thinking that sounds about right, what’s the problem 😅

This is amazing!!!! Y'all literally changed her entire outlook on life.

I love her hair! It’s so thick and healthy looking. My hair is soooooo thin and limp and I would love to have that much hair. It’s weird how the grass is always greener on the other side.

6:24 When she talked about wavy hair ... That's true. I grew up in Chile and they had a very binary way to see hair. It was either straight as a pin or curly-curly. My thick waves were invisible. The hairdressers talked about frizz and that I had to fight it with anti-frizz products or chemical straightening. I was so lost. 7 years ago I came across a black woman on KZread doing her hair and then, I found out that I coukd wear my texture if I change the regimen. I'm so grateful.

Her hair is so pretty

She's beautiful ❤️❤️❤️

she is beautiful and radiant!!! the color is amazing braids and half ups omg I love this for her

As a person with very thin hair I love her hair. I think it’s beautiful.

Her hair is beautiful! It's thick and course and all she needed was a magic wand at a black hair salon!

I really thought they might do one of those keratine treatments to make it not tangle badly but in the end it's just hydration and I do that to my hair too. But I have to dry it naturally without messing it around or it will just be straw or fuzz. I use a lot of conditioner that I leave in and a special leave in heavy creme with oils in it and that lets me brush it out later in the week. Otherwise it would just knot up.

Oh yes from Boy Meets World and I always loved that hair

This lady has gorgeous hair! Long, thick and healthy. I'm wondering if she's ever had a roller set? She could really do so many styles with her texture 🧡

Her before looks like what my/ someone’s curly hair looks like brushed out. She needs really concentrated products like Oribe’s Moisture and Control line.

I love the thickness of her hair and the color is gorgeous!

I have 4C natural curls . This is nothing. The hair is comb-able just need a black stylist to do it. Somewhere down the line she has an African ancestor for sure.

How on earth had she not tried a curly method or googled kinky hair..

She's beautiful. People are just mean. I'm glad she got help.

She may have black in her ancestry. This is how are hair is. Her hair is beautiful, she need to go to a Black or Dominican salon. They will make her look so beautiful.

The doctor's hair is gorgeous.
