What do you *think* your hair type is?

[Amoreofcurls]

thats how i feel when you see a ''TRUE'' 4a its totally different to what 4a is on the forums 99% of the time IMO ...yes i added percents

It's true though

mostly 3c with 4a mixed in.

 

[DearJohn]

Not sure but I believe 3c in the very back. 4a in the upper back, 4b in the middle and ear area and 4zzy in the crown to front area. That's what I think not sure.

 

[LaVgirl]

I believe my hair is type 4a.

 

[*CherryPie*]

4a/4b with 3c in the nape. That darn 3c nape is messing up my tight frizz.... My whole head has tight frizz except the 3c nape. It has a loose frizz.

I don't really know what my hair is anymore. Rant over.

I'm 4a all day!!! Weird little 3b/3c curls around my neck from ear to ear.

3A and/or 3B

 

[lovegymnasts]

4A
Most Indubitably!

 

[Imani]

Either 4b or 4a/b with the "b" being the most dominant trait.

 

[MissErikaM]

I *thought* it was 3c all along but I think it might be a little 4a-ish?

I am a 4a and I even with locs I am a 4a, lol. My coily hair type is perfect for locs..the nappier/coilier/kinkier the better for me

ETA: 4a are coils that can be the size of pen springs and up I suppose. I have pen spring coils all over my head...I do not have large curls...

close up of loc texture...

...with that being said, having locs has put the icing on the cake concerning my feelings about my hair texture...I mean I went from loving my hair texture to LURVING it..

i honestly think i have an in between hair type...between 3 and 4...but at this point it does not even really matter all the much. protein, moisture and retention are all that matter to me.

 

[MsLi@512]

"Fo b".... all over, no patches of a different texture, no curls, z pattern, no chaser. Loves it!

 

[belldandy]

Netta1 I am sorry but your hair is just beauty. It is just so...i dont even have the words. I really love it.

Thanks soooo much sis!!!! I appreciate your kind words

I know I am mostly 4a, with maybe some 4b in the back...but I can't decide what my crown is, it's either a looser 4a or 3c (but I'm leaning towards 4a now)

 

[Saga]

Pretty sure I'm 4a.
Cuz I get the curlies, and the fro.

 

[TaraDyan]

4a in the back 3c in the front and most of the top.

Ditto.

 

[ashleymichelle1]

I think i'm 4a. But I have some random patches of wavy/loose strands at my crown area that look 3cish..

 

[LilMissRed]

4a/b

 

[Goombay_Summer]

My wooly mammoth cannot be mistaken for another hair type we are firmly in the 4B hair camp unless somehow we died and are reincarnated as a different hair type yeah we cannot even masquerade as anything else.

 

[Poohbear]

I'm a 4b. Used to claim 4a/b but after being on here a while and reading all the typing threads I eventually came to the conclusion that really I have 3 or 4 different types of 4b going on instead.

^^^
This is what I'm starting to think with my hair.

I see a lot of women with looser hair texture and less shrinkage than mine claiming 4a.
