Yup, big classic rock fan here....what passes for rock in our current musical climate---er, no.

You're forgiven for your egregious oversight of Master May, hmmmph.

And funny note about ("White") British kinksters: my uncle was married to an Englishwoman with a red frizzy mane of tiny little zigzags...I wouldn't even call them curls. It was basically very fine, fly-away and thin Andre-4-ish hair. Well, two of their kids turned out with manes Andre would call 3c/4a: both blonde, though, not red. The funny thing is that when people find out their ethnic mix, they say, "Oh it looks like except for color, you got your father's hair." But the inside joke is that they probably equally if not moreso got it from their mother!

I think I just had a hair-induced orgasm. These are my curl pattern only each one is about 3x as thick as mine. I HATE HAVING THIN HAIR! I coulda been one of these ladies, I coulda been a contenda....

Ahh you're STILL a contenda lady...thin hair is great too!

So I'm forgiven about Brian May...I thought Marc Bolan would make up for it. I guess I was right! (Notice how much he, Bolan, and Pagey remind you of each other...uncanny)

I think either the kinkier haired Brits are simply NOT all that rare or they all become rock stars...whaddya think?

I didnt find the original post

but those first 3 look like a close call between some 4's I have seen and 3's

Definitely the third pic

this is why like Lucia, I am now done with figuring out hair types

I am no longer a hair type

 

[Lucia]

Dayum that's PORN both kinds

 

[jamaraa]

I hope nobody is inspired to look like Tim Burton,

Why not? I love his hair...it's his signature. Burton's hair is definitely in the spirit of using what you got rather than what somebody else's got!

He reminds me of fellow director Jim Jarmusch in this way. Jim went grey very young, but never dyed and his white hair is instantly recognizable.

Polynesian tresses...Tahiti (mostly) If I could trade any other hair tfor my own...here it is.. Prepare to drool!

I do relate with some of these pics too, the mix of hair

its very beautiful!

I am completely with you in your confusion. I have seen several of your youTube vids in the past, and I can't really see the texture close up because of the lighting, but I noticed that, like mine, it is an undefined cloud without product in it.

Personally, I don't think Andre or any of his terminology-adopters would ever classify me as a 4, though. I have several sections of hair that they would call 3b, but which I just call "longer, loopier curls a la Julianna Marguilies."

To be honest, the "typing" system I've used for years has been just that: a celebrity-based one. People know what I'm talking about when I say "I am a Scary Spice with some Julianna Marguilies/Jordin Sparks mixed in."

Also, my hair changes with and without product, as you said in another thread. But, more importantly to me, it is radically different in texture and curl pattern from its wet/after-shower state to its third day after washing state. The few people who see my hair damp are shocked at its long, loopy, droopy, wavy-curliness and fine texture. They cannot mentally connect it with the tightly coiled, much more "textured" mane I have a few days later. To be honest, I can't even mentally connect it!

Iris/Irresistable, see that loose black hair on the very bottom? I think Andre would call that a 3b, and that's what I have mixed into the Scary Spicier spirals.

But see, the beauty of MY system (look out, Andre!) is that if you have similarly mixed up curls, all you need to do is say "Kelis is my type" (and hope everyone's heard of the celeb you invoke.)

Ahh you're STILL a contenda lady...thin hair is great too!

AWWWW, thank you! That really made my day. :Rose: It's hard to keep the faith when there are so many lusciously thick heads in all these siggies and threads, and to know that I genetically/hereditarily can't get my hair thicker (or stop it thinning, short of Rogaine).

I think either the kinkier haired Brits are simply NOT all that rare or they all become rock stars...whaddya think?

Or royalty. Remember your Princess Anne post?

TO your point: BWAHAHAHAHA!I just pictured my sparrow-like British auntie in a rock band. She already has the hair. She needs to lose the paisley scarves, first, however.

I would love a "British Kinky" conglomerate band, with all of the aforementioned four dudes and more, united by hair. You know they're vain about their hair, too, or else why else would so many rockers still be sportin' their styles of yesteryear? Brian May for one is still wearing his floppy 'fro with pride. And I'd be crushed if he cut it.

U just called it girl, thats what it is for me-trying to make a mental connection and I cant

Alright, for all you thinner ladies with spiral curls, I happend to be watching an informercial featuring Karyn Bryant (don't know where she's famous from, sorry):

It doesn't look super-thin, but it's something more achievable than some of these glorious manes making me drool in this thread.

 

[YankeeCandle]

Sorry , Iris, we were posting at the same time.

I'm hesistant to put up pics in the hair twin thread (first because I'd have to trek to my sister's to use her camera) because I really don't know who exactly I'm supposed to be matching to--people with hair that looks like mine damp and without product? If so, I'll be looking for wavy, fine, looser curls. Someone whose hair looks like mine a day after wash? (it will be defined small, and semi-shining spirals like the Karyn Bryant pics above). Someone whose hair looks like mine a few days after my wash (those pics I was drooling over, only much thinner)?

At what point is our hair THE MOST "our hair-like?"

This has me grinning like an idiot

What's her youtube page?

Her name is Kabrinam..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEjhyyOXe6Q

Is she a model or something? I didn't know her pics were out there like that? I just recognized the pic because I'm subscribed to her channel.

yes from years ago......better yet

a live vid , although I hate the vid, Im'a just go ahead and post it , I am claiming 3c in the Vid but only cause that's what I been told

But you will see in the vid my hair is soaking wet, I mean dripping wet, I really dont see the curls of a 3 and that's even sopping wet , only a little, but really my hair is just poof! but dry w/no product I am no longer a 3 LOL

I say in the vid it's very curly, but I don't really have defined curls at all , just on the ends, or very very tiny coils

I dunno I'm confused, imo my hair is tightly coiled and yes I am serious. I mean in comparison to all the 3 pics I see

I have yet to fully find what I truly feel is my total hair twin So I haven't typed my hair for myself, only thru what other's say. if that makes sense.......

eta , oops here is the vid

http://www.youtube.com/user/IRRISISTABLBTCH#p/u/13/KdLxlc-zvaQ

I was thinking about how confused I am about hair type the other day. What's confusing to me is that it seems that most curlies have better hang to their curls than I do. Even those with a smaller curl pattern. It confusing because you would think that mine would hang longer if my curl was looser and the fact that my hair is past waist but it shrinks up major. Example.....Brooke Kerr

.....her hair hangs so nicely but she has small ringlets.....mine just gets big, shrinks up to my shoulders and looks triangle'ish.

Yes, but I'm not talking about "the media"..I'm talking about here. On any thread most of the people I post are famous...why cuz I'm not checking for people's hair in real life. When I post 4s, I post famous ones too! They are mostly men, granted, but famous type 4s aren't all that rare, IMHO. Can only speak for me, but this is the only thread of it's type here in recent memory for me.

I understood what you meant and I agree. I really saw it after that thread came out not long ago and most people here said they won't listen to the advise of a type 3erplexed. I was like that's it for me then, I wasted years here trying to help just to find out most people wouldn't even take my rambling into consideration, lol.

Poka and those of us that have been around here long enough know this shift in things around here is not a positive thing and not how things should be.....It's getting tiring for many of us

eta and yeah, the hang with this hair type is very confusing, thats exactly part of my confusion

 

[anon123]

What type of hair is this? I'm really curious. If you don't like the Andre system, I'd be interested in any other description. It looks like straight hair that has little bends all down the length. Is this what lightly wavy/curly hair looks like when brushed out? Or what?

That's what it looks like to me. My hair would be kinda similar w/a blow-out or if I banded it.

Yeah the turn around is crazy. I've learned so much from all hair types and i wouldn't be where I'm at if I was so closed minded.

I'm glad I'm not the only one confused w/hang. Let me tell you who really had me confused.....I mean I was pondering over that thing, lol.

Teri from the biracial site

.....beautiful hair. Not sure of her length but I think I'm pretty close to her but her hang time is ......AND her curls look smaller in size or very similar to mine. My hair would never hang that long I don't care what I did, it would be up to my shoulders or maybe to my armpit on a good day, lol. I dunno....maybe I'm missing something about this hair type stuff.

I agree, it's not always curl size that determines the "hang" factor...some people have tiny curls like her and it hangs. Others have bigger curls like us and it really doesn't hang at all. Maybe it's the diameter of the strands that make a difference?

Some also have more "durable" curls. My curls are easily frizzed out and turns to loose flat waves. Other people can sleep on their curls and whatnot and still have curls that hold together.

Exactly

you know what, it's good to know that I am not the only 3 confused and has hair that behaves differently from just about every single 3type I see. This is also why I give up on typing! I am my own hair type now

 

[Vshanell]

Yes, that's similar to what my brushed out hair looks like

I find it all quite interesting, not to mention confusing, lol. Maybe I'll look more into it for a better understanding.

The reason I mentoned curl size was because I'm thinking the tighter the curl the more it shrinks up because of the tighter coil you know. I see there's more to it than that, lol.

Yeah I know all about the frizzy curls. I looked at my hair close and I have the large flat waves you speak of all the way down to the last few inches where it forms a tight corkscrew curl.

That is interesting. Her curls are pencil-sized. Maybe her hair is less dense than yours. I think density factors into how much the hair hangs. Which is in part why when people get "tunnel cuts" or layers, their hair hangs lower. Her hair seems to be below booty length stretched, so it might also be a bit longer.

 

[Vshanell]

My naked hair hangs very similar to hers. I actually think she might be my hair twin.

Her hair is .

I wonder does the coarseness (thickness/diameter of the hair strand) of the hair has anything to do with the hair hanging too? Like thicker strands tend to be "heavier"; therefore, they hang more than light weight, fine strands? LOL, I dunno.

I think my hair hangs okay, but no where as well as Teri's hair. I have shrinkage but I don't think it's major. I find her hair to be so gorgeous, but I know my hair will never look like that, but she definitely has my dream hair:

 

[FlowerHair]

^^^^^I think that hair is very pretty Poka!!
But I know how frustrating shrinkage can be...

 

[Vshanell]

We're getting closer Iris. Maybe we'll have to make up our own hair type.

I've always thought the same thing. My hair is really fine, fly-away and has no weight so that could be part of the reason.

Gurl that's all I can think now

 

[Irresistible]

yup light weight here too , w/no product, just like a poof of cotton candy

so there should be a weight included with the hair strand to the type-that's at least one distinction we have made LOL

I'm sure there are more too
