“insert” 4a pics here ↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓

[Napp]

there are only a few ladies in here with full 4a hair type. the rest need to go to the 3c/4a thread. it's throwing a lot of folks off.

actually i think there are alot of 4a/4bs and 4bs in this thread. there are only 1 or 2 people that looked looser than a 4a imo


ok thats all im sayin'

HI!!!!! My name is Jess and I am a 4A (I have 4B on the sides by my ears, but not enough...right? lol DON'T MAKE ME LEAVE!!!! LOL) Here are my pics, I just BC'd in Sept. 2010 and I have maybe 1.5"-2" of hair all around? Or less, IDK...okay here we go:

OKAY, here is a gripe: is anybody else's hair so soft it is naturally frizzy? Like my hair is maaaaad soft (not bragging, it is really soft, no matter what state it's in) and it is so soft it's frizzy, even when it's wet it's frizzy, my 4A sisters, is that normal or an indication of something: like porosity issues or a messed protein/moisture balance? IDK, but if my hair wasn't frizzy ALL THE TIME I would love it, I just like it now (lol)

Your hair looks VERY soft indeed! My hair is like that as well...EXTREMELY frizzy, but naturally soft (even though it doesn't look that way)...My hair ONLY curls with product, otherwise, it's frizz city all day! lol I've learned to embrace it though....

Here's an example of the frizz I have...

See the frizz?? Yes, I have a LOT but my hair felt like butter....

Ok so im not sure if im a 4a/b but im posting in here anyway. I think im mostly 4a. No product but a little bit stretched it looks different wet/or product.
My crown seems looses.
Oh well i just like looking at everyone elses pics...I think hair typing is just for fun cuz it hasnt really helped me even if i thought i found a hair twin.

Here a pic...

You have some frizz, but at least you were able to smooth the top...my hair is still mad short, so I can't do anything about it. How long is your hair now, if I may ask? Your hair looks great! Gives a fellow frizzy city resident hope!

tHENATuRALhAiRpRoJEcT I appreciate you doing this. Looks as beautiful as I thought it would. Thanks for not disappointing! And I can see the difference between the combed out and the left alone.

If you did WNGs a few more times, you'd have the clumps we see in others, but you're probably like me who's anal about keeping strands separated. Still, there's no doubt that you've found your home.

I think I'm a 4a/b mix...not sure

 

[chayilproverbs31]

I think I'm 4a. My hair hasn't been clumping very well lately probably because I've been wearing it pulled up a lot.
