This last picture is kinda crappy, but yea, im trying to figure out my hair type. It's silky like white people's hair, but it's really really curly and kinky in some spots near the front and top. The back is more loosely curled. like said before, when I was a baby my entire head was kinky curly which is how I'm trying to get it. There's something wrong with my back curls. They are really loose, and they were never like that before.

If you dont want your hair I will take it. Come get my texture LOL, all the kinks you want.
 
Your hair looks almost identical to Shimmie's hair..she may have some helpful tips
 
Thanks. I still wish I had naps though. I wonder if I could grow a fro or if it would hang down. I havent seen my natural texture in years so im excited to see what it will do when it gets longer.

My dad is 1/4 German, his hair type is exactly like yours.

He had a huge fro (that you could blow over, probably) back in the 70's.

Let it show you what's what when it gets a bit longer.

When it's longer you can wear some cornrows, take them out, and rock the resulting waves. Get the lady to do tight ones and I KNOW you could get a fro out of that. hth
 
You have a great texture of hair and I think that you should just leave it "be". Just continue to wash, condition, and moisturize it.

It looks great curly!

P.S. You are a Hottie. :-)
 
Your hair is definately a 3b with some bits of 3c.

Your hair has a great texture and all you need to do is use a little water and some leave in. As it dries, it will get fuller, the way you may like it.

By the way, welcome to LHCF!

ETA: make sure you condition it on a regular and leave the gel alone...trust!

You're hair is beautiful. You remind me a lot of my brother...except his hair is a little coarser (but I wouldn't say nappy).
 
My son's hair is very similar to yours. Are you going to keep growing it out? Because if you do there might be a chance it gets more "afro-ish" or at least that's what happened to him.

Your hair looks 3a to me. Leave it alone and let it be.
 
Your hair is beautiful, my brother had hair like yours. But he wasn't happy with it. When we were little he would have be press it straight for him.
 
you look like 3a/3b to me. your original questions:


What can I do to get back my naturally near naps? I don't think you are gonna be able to do anything. Your hair looks like it grows in large curls to me. I think your hair as a toddler may have been more curly, but baby hair is more fine and so it may have curled more. When more mature hair grew in, it looks like the strands were more thick/coarse so it may have elongated the curl/not let it curl as tightly
What can I do to get my hair to grow faster on top of the biotin? Protein + water internally...I dunno about external products and or growth aids/supplements
What is a curl activator and will that help? I think it just helps define the curls. I dunno if it will help much in your case unless your hair is significantly tigter coiled when wet
My best friend is mixed like me and has amazingly nappy hair. it grows so fast and it is textured almost like carpet. I wish I could get my hair to do that naturally, but it refuses to do anything similar to that anymore, any way I can? He gets it braided up, and it looks amazing.
You and your best friend have 2 diff gene sets. Even if you have siblings, all ya'lls hair may come out differently ranging from coarse/tight curls to loose waves. I think it just depends.

Your hair looks like it might be able to be more tightly coiled in the front and sides, but I still don't think it's gonna be that kinky. It may coil more, though the longer it gets. The back looks like it's gonna be larger looping curls as it gets longer, rather than kinky. I think you could still get braids though and it would be tite...:yep: afro, not so much:nono: (you'll be round here looking like Will Ferrell's younger bro...:lachen:)
