Hair typing

Usually when people discuss hair types, they only talk about curl pattern. I personally don't talk about hair typing without talking about hair texture. Knowing your hair type won’t change anything in your hair journey expect putting you in a box and depress you especially if you are type 4? One thing I learn during my journey is that, the next girl may have the same curl pattern as me, but still our hair does not react the same to products or tools. To build up a proper hair routine or regimen we have to also consider our hair volume and consistency beside curl pattern.

Pattern: 

1 = Straight Hair  

2 = Wavy Hair  

3 = Curly Hair

A = Curl diameter of sidewalk chalk

B = Curl diameter of a sharpie

C = Curl diameter of a pencil

*4 = Kinky Hair

A = Curl diameter of a needle 

B = Zigzag curl pattern

C = No curl pattern

Volume: thin, normal, thick

Consistency: fine, medium, and coarse.

Porosity: Low, medium, high

Density: Low, medium, high

My thoughts on hair typing:

 

According the hair typing system; black people are categorised to have type 3 and 4 hair texture which I totally agree with.  Most of people may disagree with me in this one; according to what I have noticed- I have seen that our hair texture have something to do with our ethnics back ground if you go back to the history or to the ethnics groups of Africa, You will see that majority of  People with type 3 hair texture are people from the Horn of Africa( Somalia, Ethiopia, Djibouti, Eritrea etc.) and people with type  4 hair texture are from  central-, Southeast-, southern- and west Africa. So now if you have type 3 hair texture and you are not mixt, then you have 99% possibility of having some root from the Horn of Africa. If you have type 4 hair texture then you are probably a ‘’Zulu or Bantu’’ or any other ethnic from the rest of Africa . Ask your parents (grandparents), do some research you‘ll see that I’m almost right if not right.

But hey let concentrate on type 4 hair textures…

All head have several hair textures, it’s almost impossible to have one single texture. Even though I say my hair is 4 c I still believe that have 4a/b strands here and there, but in general my hair looks like ''4c'' all over.

Here’s in short the description of 4 hair types

Dressing modestly require salvation???

It is important to know that our body is just an envelope, which God uses to set our spirit so that we may live on earth, be visible and enjoy all His promises. However the real you is the inner you, your spirit. When your spirit is prospered, your physic will prosper as well. That is why John says to Gaius in 3 John 1:2 ‘’my dear friend, I pray that you may in all respects prosper and enjoy good health, just as your soul already prospers.’’

Our soul is prosper when our spirit it’s saved, our spirit is saved when we truly confess with all our heart and strength that Jesus is the Lord and saviour of our life! As it written ‘’if you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.’’ Romans 10:9

What I’m trying to say is that, spiritual success equal physical prosper, however physical success doesn't not guaranty a spiritual success. You can be as rich as you want, without salvation, let me sadly tell you that you have nothing. ''

''It is worth nothing for you to have the whole world if you yourself are lost. You could never pay enough to buy back your life.'' Matthew 16:26

Talking about modesty dressing; if your inner you is dressed modestly, your heart will have the desire to dress your envelope properly.

God is the King of kings, when we confess Jesus Christ as our Lord and saviour; we automatically become children of God, prince and princess of The kingdom of Heaven. And because I’m a princess, I have to dress according the roles of my kingdom: ‘’ and I want women to be modest in their appearance. They should wear decent and appropriate clothing and not draw attention to themselves by the way they fix their hair or by wearing gold or pearls or expensive clothes.’’ 1Timothy 2:9

Dress your heart modestly with love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.

God bless you for stopping by!
