4a, 4b vs. C-Napp Hair: What's the Difference?

[ladylibra]

Perhaps the elimination process might work best for you. Your hair does not fit the type 4A or 4B descriptions or photos so you know you're not that. You are a definite 3. Now if you want to say you're not a 3C, you're on your own there. Can't help you with 3's coz I know jack about that hair.

Now, I can't speak for Rachel True's hair. But, the hair in my canopy is shorter than the hair at my crown and nape, inches-wise. I know those are 4a, without a doubt, and can't nobody tell me otherwise! That hair does not look like nor behave like any type 3 hair. And I have weird random patches of 4b hair - no doubt about it being 4b either. The strands are kinky-coily, and don't clump in a uniform coil like the 4a hair does.

The front/canopy of my hair - that's another story... I guess it is in the 3 family curl-size-wise (is that a word?)

I believe I have C-Napp hair. Some times when I wash and ar dry my hair with no product it looks like I did a blow out it. Then it shrinks to a tiny version of a blow out.

I took a picture of it when I first went natural. Here it is in my fotki. Here I just co-washed it and misted it with a water oil mix. I didnt finger comb or brush it. I just slid a head band around my head. I do the same now even though my hair is longer becaue it comes out in a pretty afro.

Thanks for this thread!
I think, I've finally figured out where I "fit in"
