Newbie on the Forum! What kind of hair do I have?!! Help!

[83reasons]

I'm a newbie on the site. All of you ladies have beautiful hair!!! I am also a newbie at understanding my hair erplexed. I have not had a relaxer in 3 years. I'm not sure if I'm 4a,b or c. I honestly don't know how to tell the difference. I am currently washing my hair with Shea Moisture Coconut & Hibiscus. I leave-in condition with Shea Moisture Raw Shea Butter conditioner. I usually essential tea-tree and jojoba oil for the scalp, a couple of times a week. I've posted a picture. Any suggestions on better regiments and how-tos? I'm looking to GROW GROW GROW

Peace and hair grease,

Could you post a pic of your hair in its natural state?

I just posted two pics.

In order to tell your hair cannot be manipulated( ie twists, braidout etc...). Once you wash you set out then someone can chime in for a typing. Welcome!!

I think it's safe to say your hair is definitely human in origin.

 

[Danewshe]

Yeah, you can't really guess from those pictures because your hair has been manipulated.

It needs to be freshly washed w/o product and no manipulation.

ETA: I'd also suggest you lurk and search through the Hair Care Tips forum, your answers will surely be found eventually.
