UPDATE:
Of course it is. LOL
Keep telling yourself that everyone's relaxing for 'convenience'...
And I have to give to the OP serious props: This is the slickest way I've ever seen anyone pose a 'good hair' preference question and actually get ppl to admit to wanting 'good hair'...
KUDOS!!
Ok--'good hair lovers' don't get pissed at me. I'm just noticing--not judging. That's your ish. So It is what it is.
If it makes you feel any better I don't like the appearance of 'beady beads'...
2nd update:
What's even more interesting is the fact that the Nappy Nazis are nowhere to be found!
Wow....
Anywho
Nah...I like my hair as is.
I actually prefer the look of coils to all that 'spanish wave' mess.
I think I'm a 3c/4a/4b (i dunno) but I have different textures all over.
I WOULD take a hair-growth pill.
Plus the grass isn't always greener.
My cousin's little girl has 3c 'big hair' type and it is pretty, yes...but difficult to manage. Much shrinkage and the hair only looks cute in curly styles...

I would take that pill in a SECOND. You'd be like, Hey if you take this pill it'll make your hair 3--
And before you were even done with your sentence that pill'd be in my mouth, baby.
My entire life I have drooled over 3a/3b hair. All the other girls wanted relaxers, but not me. I wanted 3a/3b hair. I wanted to wash my hair, put some moisturizer in it & rock my pretty curls, shaking them in people's faces.
So when I was 14, I was finally allowed to get a perm & I got a pic of a girl w 3a hair & showed it to my Mom and my hair dresser and said, this is what I want. I want a curly perm(I forget the name of the perm but whatever). They both said that I couldn't get my hair like that. The perm would make me look like I had a really long jerri-curl (my hair was MBL-WSL straight then). After a lot of convincing about how ugly my hair would look, I got a relaxer.
And here I am today. Wanting to punch all the 3a/3b girls on the board in the face.
too funny!!!!

When I fist saw this thread (Last year) my first thought was to say Hell NO. Now yes I would....answer may change in a few months...
ETA: wait I'm not a 4ab am a 3b/3c/2b/1/10z mix and I would still change. I don't know to what though...I don't really like 1s and 2s so....

Yes I would without hesitation.
I'm a 4b. But honestly I think that category is to broad. I've seen lots of people who say they are 4b but don't have hair like mine. My hair does not have a curl pattern really, I have a lot of hair but the individual strands are wiry and thin, and it is super coarse, and very hard to keep moisturized.
So I would trade for a 4b or 4a with at least a curl pattern too if there was a pill.

No. 7 years of being natural has allowed me to be very comfortable with my hair texture. I can't imagine it any other way. I just want to grow it super long!

HELLLLLLL yes!!! Im not even gonna lie. Only becase im very active. I love to swim, dance, run, exercise, etc. SWEAT/SWIMMING=Naps, tangles, hair breaking, sore arms, and not to mention lots of stress on my hair. To be able walk in the rain without saying "Awwww sh**" while I duck and run with some paper over my head becuase I forgot my umbrella, to be able to relax and let the shower run over my head everyday, to be able to sit in a steam room or jacuzzi without coming out looking like Ms. Foo-Foo, to dance and run without saying "I can't do too much becuase I don't to sweat my hair out", or to swim carefree ARE ALL a LUXURY TO ME!!!!!! I LOOOVE MY HAIR but boy oh boy is it tough to deal with!!! My mom and I always look at "others" at the pool or beach and then make eye contact with each other and say IT'S NOT FAIRRRRR! LOL.....A lot of you say this is sad....HMMM IT AINT SAD TO ME!!! AT ALL!! Just honest...

This is an interesting thread. If you would have asked me this 2 months ago before I joined LHCF I would have said yes. I have 3c natural hair and I didn't even know how to deal with that. Now that I've learned how to take care of my hair I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! I often look at the 4a/b ladies and envy their coily curl pattern...so maybe a curly coil pill is in order for me.

One day i will have Frizzy 4b hair while the next day i will have 3c/4a curls but if i could pick one i wouldnt because i love my weird hair type/Curl pattern. But im Kinda Scared to wear it out....Me and my Guy friend were play fighting and somehow my hair came out of place so i had to fix it.
I thought he was gonna make fun of me. My hair was wet so i shaked it out and of course it went all over the place
i was trying to hurry and put it in a bun.My guy friend was like wait do that again thats Nice Big hair is Sexy and He would not stop asking me To shake it LoL Sorry off topic but i could not keep that story to myself

These answers are sad. Especially coming from naturals.
I'm curious to know what does this mean?

Ash summed it up for me so very well. I'd take the pill and get a large supply of them for the very reasons she mentioned above. Being active and in water all the time makes having 4a/4b natural hair a huge challenge to work around, that's just fact. I love my hair, it just seems that 3b would be less work and would make it eaiser for me to be active with the sweating, swimming, sauna, humidity, ocean play, adult play, etc. Then wasing and styling wouldn't be a multi hour ordeal.

Nah. My 4b hair is too cool. I can put it in a style then spend the next two weeks living my life. That style can last through 3-5 sessions at the gym, swim lessons, 8-12 hours of dance a week and still br presentable for school and play. I actually went from scuba diving in the ocean to showering at the scuba shack followed by a trip to the mall and dinner at a resturant. Because my styles hold up to muliple washings in a week I'm good to go! I don't have to run from the rain, my hair loves the humidity, and it retained more length when I was swimming weekly! Being able to style my hair once a week or once every two weeks is amazing. I don't know if other hair types can do this or not, but I really have no reason to switch.

I think the thing that is going to help me is to get some length. I did the BC to 1/2 inch in December and now I have 5 inches of healthy, shinny thick 4a/4b hair that loves to shrink. It doesn't tangle, I have little to no shedding but if I don't let it dry braided it shrinks up to 1 inch of packed density! I know for a fact when I get some more length, enough to band it into two pony tails or to make a pony in general the sky's the limit. But for now I am in the ackward stage...Nah.

It's encouraging to hear that you are able to style and be active, that is my ultimate goal. I know I have some learning to do about how to style my natural hair. I am checking out the link in your siggy now, I know I need to educate myself about my natural hair and my styling options. I know it loves natural butters and natural products ...avocado butter is my baby daddy!!
ETA: I know I am going to be as comfortable with my hair as you are with yours one day, I am very encouraged

Where's the poll asking if you have 3b hair would you pop a pill for 4b?
I might pop a temporary one. I don't know, I'm scared of popping pills to change a feature, that sounds a little sci-fi pre-apocalypse to me, not sure if I want to get all Brave New World with it and stuff. But I'd be curious to have 3b hair for a minute. Do a wash and go, not spend 7000 years detangling. Unlike alyssa, I have not figured out how to make my hair hold up to multiple washings without detangling (even in twists and braids!) But honestly I think my hair does more styles and better (just being real), so I don't want to give it up permanently.

I recently reached ponytail stage. I don't think I'll ever cut it shorter than this now. Ponytails make my life so much easier.

Wow, Amen to all that!!
I feel you on that;..I take NO DRUGS whatsoever!, no OTC's or otherwise; everything's herbal for me
and I'm doing just fine.Humoring this idea for a minute though, if there ever was a pill that made it to the market that changed the hair texture, it wouldn't be without consequences or side effects.
There would certainly be a price to pay for such a change in your natural makeup and also for the simple fact that:
Nature > Science
Nature is greater than Science and Science will never "beat" Nature.
Man will never be able to match God's perfect design. (I'll stop here because my inner Nazi is beginning to emerge
)So, I have no doubts that someone will try to bring something like this to the shelves of our drugstores or beauty supply stores; wasn't there already something out called Oral-relaxer anyway?, or something like that????
But anyway, it'd still have significant side effects just like every other OTC and Rx med out there today.

@ the bolded.To be honest I would. Yeah, I like my natural texture but Im so limited. Its so thick, coarse and tight. I wouldnt mind having my hair easier to do. Im would that if this pill were real that as long as you take it your body will produce 3b hair. And when you stop after so many months have passed then the meds will have completely been flushed out of your system and you start back producing your own natural texture again. This is probably the only way that I would take it, but knowing me I'd probably take it even if it were permanent.
