Same, it’s empowering to say My crown is sapphire gold!I think its cute. I like that I'm 4a and amethyst is my birthstone.
So is there an actual 4d hair category, or this that just a thing?

Neither were 1b, 1c, 2c, 3c, nor 4c, until people on hair forums added those categories because they felt their hair type didn't fit into the chart. And I've seen arguments even on here about YouTube hair gurus whose hair seems to defy categorization.It's not a part of Andre Walker's hair typing. I always thought people were being funny when they said that.
Some people still haven't let go of the ignorant "good hair/bad hair" dichotomy. In all fairness, though, the system itself was designed with ignorant roots lol. Andre Walker himself was quoted in an interview as saying that "Kinky hair can have limited styling options; that's the only hair type that I suggest altering with professional relaxing." That in itself should have been a giant red flag, and he did get a lot of flack for it (and other ignorant statements) but people took his seemingly simple system and ran with it.No crowns for 1s and 2s? Are they tiaras then?
This is not a new system, just different using different feel good terms for the categories. I've long postulated that most people know good and well where they fall on Andre's scale. Some just don't like it which is why keep seeing these alternatives that are essentially the exact same.
