I don't wanna discourage you then by telling you that depending on your current length, it may take even longer than 6 months to know. You won't get the full socpe of things until all the relaxed hair is gone, or at least 90% of it.

Agreed Im seeing a lot of just 3C , and then others strictly type 4. I think the thread is becoming confusing for some but there is alot of confusion involving hair typing.

Can you help me with mine? When I first went natural I posted a bunch of pics and I was told I was 3c/4a. If not, please let me know, I won't be offended (in fact it would help me pick out this tshirt lol). My pics are above.
 
What beautiful heads of hair. I think this is where I belong please let me know otherwise:

May I ask, how do you guys get your hair to go down? Mine only wants to go out to the sides. I've tried everything, but my hair seems to have a mind of its own.

I let it dry, then band it when it's still damp and sleep that way. Keep it banded for the next couple of days when I sleep too. I get more hang that way.

Hey Elle Pixie Welcome I recognize you from naturallycurly I just recently joined there. To me you look like youre in the right thread 3c\4a.
 
NICE BLOG...click to Read stolen from Boujoichic


Im currently doing some research on hair typing because I had previously gotten so much mixed information. I knew that it should be much simpler than some make it seem. I have since searched around the hair boards and the internet and found some information that made typing easy. First off I found that hair typing Andre's system is based purely on curl size it does not take into account texture, density, or porosity. I also have found some curl size comparisons that make finding your type easy.
3A are very large curls like sidewalk chalk. 3B would be like chalk (regular chalkboard chalk) to sharpie marker sized.
3C curls tend to be pencil size (or a little larger) to drinking straw sized.
4A would be around chopstick to coffee stirrer size (can also show as tight S shaped waves).
4B coils are very small and will not clump without product or manipulation in most cases Can look like cloud of little pin spring coils.
Also typing is best done dry hair with no product no manipulation with wet hair the curls are looser and stretched out by the water.
I will be adding to this as I find more information

That's why I stayed in the 4a thread for so long...my hair is weird. I got fuzz with defined curls mixed in it :look:.

Based on my BC I just did, I think you're my hair twin! My hair now looks a lot like your first pic (except a little shorter!). I don't know if I belong here or not, but if so, I am happy I found a hair twin who is also my sister! (skee wee!)
 
I'll be 6 months post this month. Lots of NG but alas I still won't know what hair type I am. Le sigh*
 
^^Yeah that's what I thought. Boy do I have a long wait ahead of me lol. It's gonna be at least a year and a half(Oct. 2011) but who knows. It may go on a little longer than that :giggle:
 
I know this may be a bit of a stretch, but does anyone have any pictures from their transition that fall into the 3c/4a hair type category? Just curious to see what your NG looked like pre-BC so I can...compare :giggle:

(even though I know everyone's hair is unique)
