“insert” 3C/4A (mixed texture only) pics here ↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓

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)

From 1/07 to 3/07 - transitioning. I was texlaxed. These aren't the best of pics but I think it's enough to get an idea.

Keep in mind that after I bc'd, my hair looked and behaved totally different than during transition. There's a wide variety of textures and I think my hair has a tendency to be really thready and the crown on the wiry side, width of strand size varies also. It was much more difficult for me to notice these things during transition.

I always wind up telling ladies that you may not know for sure what you've got until after you get rid of the relaxed hair.

HTH

I have my own issues with this particular hair typing system. I won't get on my soapbox here out of respect for OP since this her thread not mine. I'm not good at hair typing. I see many heads that look very similar to mine. If this isn't the correct thread, please feel free to move.

^^ Your hair looks really similar to mine! Except yours is/was longer, of course.
I have those same pieces in the back that are randomly loose. What length were you stretched in this picture, if you remember?

The longest layer was armpit length when I took those pics.

Mrs. Verde, your backshot hair looks similar to mine- maybe we're cousins (my hair is not fine though)...
 
Hopefully my hair type can be diagnosed in a few more months into my transition. I'm about 8 months in now (on Dec. 23rd)

Your hair always brings out the green eyed monster in me.
BEYOND drool-worthy!

I am curl definition-challenged.
