I'm loving this thread!!!!

 

[Nelli04]

This thread just made me like my hair even more, thanks for making it!

 

[WantNatural]

I'm in awe...

Seeing this thread makes me wonder why some of us don't think our hair is beautiful. We have the most unique and versatile hair out of everyone! I'm glad this board promotes that beauty, be it relaxed or natural or anything in between!

I'm in love with this thread!!!! Absolutely brilliant!!

 

[southerncitygirl]

OMG I'm drooling over all this beautiful hair in this thread.....

 

[DigitalRain]

There is something about big 4a/b hair. When I see it, I have the urge to just jump in it and roll around like a space walk It looks so soft and fluffy and cushiony.

 

[cupcakes]

Wow such a beautiful thread <3

[Stormy]

Wow! I looooooove this thread! Thanks for starting it and thanks ladies for posting these lovely pics.

Beautiful pictures but I wouldn't consider a lot of those people type 4 according to my understanding of hair typing.

This needs to be a sticky...so whenever someone is ready to throw in the towel (like I unfortunately did)...they can look at this and desire to keep going.

This hair is so beautiful...I have hair just like these women (they type I mean, LOL). I can see the beauty in them and also in myself. Ohhhh, I can't wait to get my hair back!!!!

When I look at pics, I really think I'm close to a 4


but people will argue me down, so whatever......

but to me its not really that far of a stretch from my head 'naked' to what I see

I really dont have the springy loose curls that supposedly describe a 3 type, not without product (as it is clearly shown before product and after in that album)

the hair typing is confusing

I hate Andre LOL

Most of us have more than one hair type on our heads anyway

carry on ladies

beautiful pics!

^^^ Hair typing is so diverse. I thought I was a 4 then I thought I was a 3. Now I just don't give two flying f***s. Lol, it is what it is. I'm type Nayna.

This thread makes me want to rip these darn braids out my hair! Beautiful.

 

[BrandNew]

Absolutely LOVE this thread. Adding a few of these pictures to my scrapbook for inspiration! Thanks OP!

I would say you are solid 3c b/c your curls are much bigger that what is posted here.

I am not sure my head fits a type, that I myself have fully identified with , only what other's see, If I'm not a 4 not a 3......

what am I what AM I?

a big poofy cloud of hair

hair type; bfc! lmao

my hair looks like cotton candy to me

I don't know. It's all confusing. I go on Naturally Curly's website and I look at the all personal hair pictures they place on the forum . I get even more confused. Oh well, screw hair typing. My hair is versatile. If I want a curly look, I can rock that. If I want an afro look, I can rock that. If I want to rock my regular coily hair, I can rock that and so on and so on.

I like to think that type 4 hair:
-grows up and out, not down
-does not form big deep waves
-does not need to be brush out to look fro-y
-can't be put into a ponytail but a puff

 

[Theresamonet]

Is her hair type 4a or 4b?

 

[finickyone]

Irresistible, I want your hair! It's beautiful!

I am drooling all up through this thread! To me women of color are some of the most beautiful women in the world.

 

[locabouthair]

I love this thread!!!

Beautiful hair and the models are beautiful as well!

hey girl

my hair grows , up, out and down
it does not form deep waves, unless product is used
it was not brushed in those pics (just freshly rinsed and un-tampered with)
i can put my hair into a contained ponytail or else it is a big puff
