May I step in?
My mom is 4abc. Some of her hair strands/pattern looks just like the video rubynaturalhairprincess. I know you don't mean harm Veemack but I will say it is very frustrating and offensive to see people say her hair type does not exist, she's not caring for it right and that's why it is not curly/coily.
I will say there have been some good 4c vids posted in here that I had no idea existed and I will recommend to her! Thank you ladies.

I agree. She has been saying stuff like that for some time now and I was going to lose my sh*t when I read it again in this post. But, I thought to myself - my hair is in the best state it has been in a long while. It used to feel crunchy and dry after washing, now it feels soft to the point where I'm happy to finger detangle and I don't use combs (never thought I would see the day - lol). And it doesn't break as much any more. so, I give zero *&%^$#@Es what Zeemack thinks about how looked after my hair is.
I think it has been explained to her before that when people say it has "no curl", what they mean is it has no consistent curl formation/pattern, which is why people spend 1 hour twirling their hair around their fingers making sure the sections are all doing the same thing so they can get some curl definition.
And curl definition is not important to some of us. At least not to me anyway.

No her hair is not 4c. I have 4c hair and even when its drenching wet my curls are never loose.
It's aggravating when people don't believe 4c hair exist because then you have a hard time finding someone to give you real good hair tips.
I have tried Nikkimae, Kimmaytube (when her hair was short), SimplYounique, and Naptural85 hair tips. Only to find that they don't work on my hair. Why? Because I'm 4c. My hair doesn't hold curls for long, it frizzes easily, and it never! hangs over my face. Only and only if I do a blow out/twist out it may hang over my face for like an hour. Then it slowly frizzes back up till I look like the dang Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland. For real!
If you want a real example of 4c hair and what we have to go through when its pretty short look at this video by BlackWomanScholar "Tackling the twist out on 4c hair" Then you could really see the struggle we go through.

I'm 4ab, but the original video posted just made me go @_@...and not in a
good way. Her hair looks like mine when it's wet, but the lengths she's
going through to get it is kind of ridiculous to me. I'm all for having a perfect coif, but spending an hour raking a full tub of gel through my hair isn't an option. Plus, since I can't wash my hair daily as it dries my scalp out too much, that would just lead to excessive product build up.
According
to the vid, she used 1 teaspoon of eco styler per piece of hair to
create her "defined" hair. IMO, spending an hour chasing an elusive curl
definition is a bit much. So, she's going through a tub of eco and an hour of time each time she wants defined curls.
I
totally get wanting defined curls. I used to chase it when I first
started focusing on being natural. Then I realized that my combo hair
wasn't going to give me those "perfect curls". I have a zig zag pattern
but the bottom half of my hair refuses to behave like the top. So wash
'n go's are a no-no for me. If I want curly definition, I'm going to
have to do a braid or twist out.
IMO being natural is about having the healthiest hair possible, not just about getting curls to pop.

That's not 3b hair. I would say if anything 4a. 4c hair DEFINITELY exists.

That chick in the OP looks 3c/4a. Just because her hair is frizzy does not make it 4c.
