You look type 3C to me. I don't see type 4, but maybe I'm wrong?
And you don't look 38 to me either.
Girl I'm 3C too..... our hair is just fly.... all these other ladies be mad at us
! I'll be 39 in November! My momma always told me black don't crack ! I don't think I'm a 3C because I don't have definite spirals. My hair kind just do its on thing! lol!Thanks you for the age compliment
Your hair may just be very versatile. Do what suits you!
You are correct. I have fine/thin hair that appears thick. So when you wear your out styles do you only apply a leave in conditioner? Now does your hair look more natural when you where a braid out or twist out? How do you currently wear your fine strands? So you don't deep condtiion or cowash?tashboog- If your hair is 4a, its very fine and you may not have a lot of hair on your head, density. I have very fine 4a hair that appears to be very thick and even coarse when I wear an afro. It APPEARS to be thick when Im wearing dry stretched styles. Twistouts, braidouts etc...When you touch it its soft like cotton with roots that feel almost straight. I used to wet set my hair and it looked relaxed. I hate to admit that I hated the fact that my hair had a relaxed look especially since its so fine. This was my personal feeling. So, I found some info on fine 4a hair and began to lay off the conditioner. Check blogger Natural Selection if you are interested. She has a lot of info on fine hair. I have found that a leave in conditioner is all my fine strands can stand. Since I researched fine natural hair, I have noticed that some naturals are over moisturizing and conditioning. Type 4 hair can be just as fine as type two or three with low density .Since I stopped those cowashes and deep conditioning my has thickened a lot, looks, feels and is more healthy and has grown a lot. This may be why people think your hair looks relaxed. My mother would see me with what appeared to be a thick coarse afro one day and if I did a braid out on wet hair she would say, did you get a relaxer? Lol! My personal decision is thickness, big hair and dry styling using a leave in, oils and butters. People have asked me why I like the thick fluffy look instead of the fine wet set. Dismissed! I love my hair this way instead of the other way. Just sharing my discovery!

Let that motivate you, not make you feel bad.
!! Also thx for the hair comment !

I use to wear my hair straight for almost 5 years before I've decided that I wasn't going to keep damaging my hair at the salon anymore. Everyone I know thought my hair was relaxed because my stylist was the bomb, but I had no idea he was damaging my natural hair
. So as of May of last year, I stopped going to him and started cutting off all the damage hair. So now my hair is all damage free hair and I've only used heat twice since I've started my HHJ. I am happy to say that the nape of my hair is almost APL but my sides are shorter because that had the most damage. I'm still a newbie and I'm still learning and I still don't have a solid and simple regimen but I am working on it !
