This is fantastic! May I please know your favorite softening/smoothing aid for type 4 natural hair (temporary not a relaxer) and your favorite coloring for a rich 1b shade of black on natural type 4 hair thanks.
ReplyDeleteCertainly, Beth Minardi's Demi-permanent cream hair color 3BB + 3ICE with 5 volume developer works great on type 4 natural hair. As far as a smoothing treatment, Brazilian Blowout has always been my favorite, but I did not want to risk respiratory problems with prolonged exposure. Type 4 hair usually don't get the same smoothing effect as Type 3 hair. I don't have a definite smoothing treatment recommendation for type 4 hair at this time. The Beth Minardi demi-permanent cream hair color seems to loosen type 4 curl patterns. It could double as a smoothing treatment.
DeleteThanks a million this is just the type
ReplyDeleteOf information I'm looking for. Ok I'm off to see where I can purchase now the demi color
Good Morning! Just a quick question, is the softening of type 4a hair by the Beth Minnesota Demi color reversible as the color fades? Also is it a considerable texture release? Thanks for clarifying, Rose
ReplyDeleteHi Rose: The bad news is that Beth Minardi's line did not get enough Market saturation so it is being phased out. However, from an educational perspective, demi-permanent color is stronger than a "rinse" therefore, it does not fade like a "rinse." Beth Minardi's cream demi-permanent haircolor seemed more alkaline in my opinion than most demi-permanent haircolors. This alkalinity has a "texture release" similar to a "relaxer" HOWEVER, natural hair that does not get the bonds completely broken will revert back eventually to its original curly texture. So people who get "texlaxed" will find within a year more or less, that their hair shrinkage is back to its natural shrinking behavior. So yes, the Beth Minardi cream haircolor is reversible as far as texture release, but not reversible as far as haircolor. You will need to use bleach or haircolor remover to get the color out. I hope this answers your question.
DeleteIt does, thanks a million for your expertise and freely sharing your knowledge. Can you recommend an alternative please in the meantime that has your stamp of approval!
DeleteHi Rose! I did not forget you. I needed some time to try out some replacement options for Beth Minardi discontinued cream demi-permanent color. For natural hair customers who want a natural black result: Schwarzkopf Royal 3.0 with a 10 volume developer seems to deliver the same effects as the Beth Minardi 3ICE +3BB 5 volume cream formula.
