Can any of you ladies tell me if I am a 4a?????

 

[Roux]

you look like a 3 to me

 

[naturalbeautybtw]

Roux thanks so much.... This hair typing is so confusing.... I thought I was a 4 because I have smaller curls in the back, but maybe I'm a combination of the two..... IDK

So here are my pics- I BC'ed last June and my curls became more defined over time! Shrinkage is a beast bc it looks like my hair hasn't grown much, but I have gained 5.5 inches since last June But I truly love my 4a curlies despite the shrinkage lol All pics are in its unstretched state with water & jojoba oil (except the one with my red & gray shirt with mini twists):

here are mine. i used to think i was a 4 a/b mix...but now i'm sure i'm a solid 4a.

cowashed, no product (i had gel in it the day b4, so maybe some left over)

heat damage by my ears

with gel

shrinkage (about 50%)

1st time seeing if my hair would fit in one ponytail

wet hair from 2009- my natural hair color as well

unlike a lot of 4a's, my curlies do not clump and they refuse to be defined by any product. the best i can do is having cute, curly ends while the roots are always a fuzzy mess. my hair also, does not form waves.

I look so fat (well fatter). and tan! I need to get outside more.

Here's my hair now:

still damp wng with redken ringlet

dry w/redken

damp, no product
