I'm type 4a and this is what my hair looks like dry and product free so either that picture is off or I've been misinformed.
And here we go on why I hate hair typing.
Your curls don't look like 4a to me lol they look more like 3c-ish... ahhh but here's the trick....my hair curls up like a 4a when it's shorter, but when it's longer it's springier.
I don't like hair typing either yet I still enter these threadsAnd here we go on why I hate hair typing.

I can see where you would get 3c but when I was newbie someone told me other wise and I rolled with it lol. Whether I'm 3c or not it doesn't change how I handle my hair. I guess ppl in general want to know just to know because it doesn't really mean anything.
*sings the song a la The Rock* IT DOESN'T MATTER!!!!
You might have hair like me, it LOOKS like a cloud of type 4 only because it's so thick and dense and packed together but when you look at separate strands they're a loose loopy set of S-shaped curves. THAT'S 3c. 4a are like pen coils, my fiance has perfectly shaped 4a coils.
Same here! It Looks thicker than it really is, and if I don't weigh it down with gel it looks like 4'ish hair....but it's just super frizzy 3 hair, that stands on end. Only in the nape area do I have those perfect pen coils...everything else is just Wild woman hair.
This chart doesn't include my loose 3a curls...that don't even really look like curls, but more like S waves. I like the CG chart a bit better, but nowhere really do I see hair that looks like mine...frizzy, and unruly.
