I dont know if this has been posted before.

I found this and was shocked, this hair typing thing has been taken to a whole nother level. It might help someone though, who knows

:scratchch *Saunters over to "What's my Hair Type" threads to ruffle a few feathers*

I wish I could zoom in on the 4G to see if I have a hair twin 'cause I don't see my hair type being 4A or B.

 

[Qtee]

WOW... erplexed

Yeah, this has been posted before...lemme see if I can find the post...

For a relaxed person, I would have to look at my ng and determine my hair type, right

 

[davisbr88]

Honestly, I did think there needed to be a category between 3c and 4a, but this is a bit tooooo much.

 

[ms.blue]

WOW that is confusing.

 

[MsBoinglicious]

Lol 3g and 4h hair lol

Well at least they have lots of textures, more than the ones we go by.

Talk about splitting hairs.

To make my life simple, my hair is just strait nappy.

 

[lovenharmony]

Um......NO.

 

[brg240]

too confusing, those pics need to be bigger

Also I recognize the hair in 1a, I'm kinda wierded out by that.

 

[Myjourney2009]

I am not going by that hair system because honestly it is ridiculous. I know I am 4ab and thats what I am sticking with. Case closed LOL

 

[transitioning?]

Am I the only one that thinks the chart is good? I don't care about hair typing but wouldn't the pictures serve as a good reference for those who care?

 

[EllePixie]

LOL this is hilarious, and exactly why hair typing is silly. People just makin' ish up....smh

 

[MilkChocolateOne]

many of the type 4 pictures are manipulated versions of the same hair type.

 

[upliftedjw]

oh wow

 

[bibs]

many of the type 4 pictures are manipulated versions of the same hair type.

This is exactly what I was thinking. My hair looked 4H after my BC and 4D after my twistout and 4E when I attempt 3rd day hair, etc. etc. This is ridiculous

I remember this one It was from the post "her type 4b is not my 4b" or something like that.

Also I recognize the hair in 1a, I'm kinda wierded out by that.

Yeah, I thought I recognised it as well. Isn't that Misskibibi or DLewis?

 

[omegachick31]

What's cool as hell about it though is 16 of the 19 pics are of women of color.....we are so uniquely diverse and beautiful from head to toe that the have to keep expanding the categories we are in.....Damn, I love it

No, you'd have to be natural to really get a grip on your type since relaxed hair can weigh down the actual curl, giving a false measure.

someone has too much time on their hands! come on now...

but according to that chart, i think the 4d- hair that lady was talking bout in "natural hair girls make me sick" falls somewhere between kimberly elise and jill scott.
