I randomly came across this YouTube video about a guy who claims to be the first person to introduce hair types. I was very interested at first, but as the video went on I was confused. By the end of the video I was annoyed, lol. The video was closed to commenting on YouTube so I'm posting it here. Please, my fellow coilies, tell me what's wrong with this video? (comment below)
About Coily Queen
I blog about products, techniques, and processes that work for my type 4 a/b coily hair. My goal is to help teach women and men about my African coily hair texture so that they too can learn how to manage and style 'coily hair.' Don't be shy--ask a question or leave a comment!
Ummm Okay I feel your frustration! How does he even have products? I’m thinking his name is just on products and he has nothing to do with creating them – or at least this is what I got from looking at his video. He was clearly stating the obvious which was too funny – lol On the part in the end about the frizzy coarse hair being difficult to get to “look good” – I guess “good” meant straight. Then he said choose products and you’ll be happy – I guess meaning just having the products sitting in our cabinets will make us happy? What!?!

lol, AGREED. He does not know what he’s talking about. He begins by
stereotyping “fine” hair to mean “straight” hair. My hair is fine, but it’s
coily in texture. My hair is not limp as he describes fine hair. So will
that product work for my hair? Well according to him it will. I’m not
convinced :-/
Now how about the model they chose to represent his “Coarse, Curly, & Frizzy
Hair” product? I truly did not get it and still don’t. Her hair did not
look coarse, curly, or frizzy to me, but rather straight and oily. Maybe
it’s my eyes and I’m just not seeing correctly. :-)

LOL!! Everything was wrong with this video. He was showing three different women supposedly with three different hair textures, yet they all looked the same! Since when is coarse curly hair defined as straight (no matter how she got it that way)!
I am not offended or disappointed by this video. The man obviously has something to sell and, like all snake oil dealers, his mode of marketing is aimed at creating a need where there is no need.
I laughed through the whole thing. Thanks but no thanks. I love my rough, kinky, coarse, untameable mess! lol
