Is your hair type inextricably linked to your strand texture? Are there any ladies out there, for instance, that have a 2a hair type with an extremely coarse strand, or is the texture of each individual strand part of what defines your hair texture? Does this classification system only take your curl pattern into consideration?
I ask because a friend of mine flat irons her hair very straight, and to the touch it feels the way 4b hair typically does when blow-dried. I always assumed she was relaxed, but she says she has naturally loose, wavy, 2a hair and that she uses no chemicals. I haven't seen her hair when it wasn't pressed and am just curious about the relationship between strand texture and hair type. I believe her, but have never seen this before and was wondering if any of you had this kind of hair or have seen it before.
