And just to add to what I was saying before.
When someone comes in here and starts complaining about how a certain curl defining product didn't work for them and didn't define, people are always quick to say things like, "It will only define what's already there," and "It doesn't CREATE curls, just enhances them." and stuff like that.
But when someone shows a picture of their hair with a curl defining product in it and asks to be typed it's like, "Oh, you have to take a pic of your hair freshly washed with no product." and "We can't accurately type you if you've got product in your hair."
Lol... so... which is it?
And, in fact, I think (and hair typing to me, like I said in the other thread, is only useful when it comes to styling so this is not that serious) that it is EASIER to type someone when their curl pattern is defined with product, because when without product, a lot of people's curl pattern's are frizzy, and the curl pattern is hidden in the frizz, therefore making it harder to see.
And in regards to what @
iri9109 and @
Kurlee were saying, I agree with both of your points. With @
iri9109 I agree that dry hair should be the most accurate way to type hair, but I also agree with @
Kurlee that the problem with dry hair typing is it's harder to see the curl pattern.
So, the solution to both of these?
Type hair dry, and WITH curl defining products! The hair will be dry so it is not being weighed down by water, and the hair will retain the curl pattern that shows up when it's wet. win/win
