my other question

[vanillabean]

What do you mean when you ladies talk about the shape of your hair like the S and the V shape etc?

 

[Boadicea]

It's the shape in which the ends of the hair fall naturally (or is cut in).

 

[Cleo]

There is also a U shape cut which many ladies here prefer.

From my understanding, the V and U shape are used to describe the way your hair looks when down and viewed from the back...and for some pple, that's how their hair grows normally. It's also how you may cut your hair: blunt cut(straight across), U-shape and V-shape. The pictures at the bottom of this page will give you an idea.

And for the "S"...it's usually used to describe the look of hair strands, check out LOIS. I believe André's typing also uses S shape to describe A's and Z shape for B's (at least that's somewhat how I recall the two kinds of type 4 hair being described).
