I have some goofy hair! (pics and questions)

[Kirei]

Okay so today I did a deep condition with honey & a cheapie condish and a shower cap, I left that on for about 7 hours (9 AM- 4 PM). My hair is soooo soft.

Here is my hair straight out of the shower cap:

Washed out DC; wet with no product:

My protective style bun:

If I am going to wear my hair out, I usually bun it for about 5-10 mins. (however long it takes me to get dressed) and then undo the bun and shake my head. I do not fluff it or do anything to the curls. This is how it looks:

the back:

Please tell me someone else has crazy textures like me, my curl is sooo loose in the back it gives me a super v shape. It also doesn't help the my hair grows in layers... I still love it...even though it don't act right!

Sideview:

Okay I'm done!

A few questions:

Anyone my hair twin?
What hair type am I?


Thanks for looking! Smooches!

Oh, I have been 100% natural since about January 2008, my hair was about 3-4 inches all the way around.

Not sure of your hair type, but your hair is beautiful thanks for sharing!

Due to some of the curls at the very front in the last picture, you look like a cottony 4a/3c (mainly 4a). But maybe it looks like you have 3C in the last pic because of you pulled it back into a bun. I'm not sure. It may be best to check out the Andre system to be sure. I'm a cottony 4a, so we're not hair twins. Pretty hair, btw!

Looks 4a to me.

I have the looser curls at the back too and I think it's a combination of length and being stretched out when I put my hair in a puff (same thing happened in the front but now there's like no texture whatsoever, just fuzzy straight).

 

[leleepop]

my hair looks similar to that esp. the back. nice hair

Thanks for the responses! I am glad to finally know what hair type I am, I just claimed 4a/4b by defualt...

Can't help you out with typing but you have a nice head of hair! Can't wait till mine is that thick...

Hey Liyah, I think having a looser curl type in the back is quite common. I'm a 4a but my nape(back of the neck to the middle of my ears) is a 3b/3c. I have a serious v shape when I do a wash and go too

Thanks! I think all in all I have like 3 textures in this head of mine with 4a being the most common, I think.

Thanks

I think this is what occured b/c when I first went natural my hair was not this loose in the back. When I straighten it, I still have a slight V but it isn't as drastic. I used to wear a puff 100% of the time so that really might be the culprit.

Thanks

ETA: You have some thick pretty hair msa!

Okay, thanks! DH calls my hair a mullet! Oh well, I ain't cutting it to make it all even either!
