What Is Your Hair Type?

[brownhaired_bonanza]

4a&4b. It all comes down to genetics. I'm growing the wild North Carolina country cotton.

 

[nchristina]

4a, curls and waves

 

[angellazette]

I believe I am 4a!

 

[asummertyme]

3c-4b...i have many textures!!

 

[Nita81]

I think it's a mix of 3c/4a

No, girl this was someone from BlackHairMedia.com, who e-mailed me with that. I don't believe she is a member here, but who knows. It all started when I made the comment that there IS such a thing as healthy relaxed hair on that forum, and she e-mailed me to basically say I was surely mistaken, that its impossible for relaxed hair to be healthy. Then she went on ranting about my hair type and how do I know what the type is, etc etc. Poor child. She had nothing better to do besides E-Mail me with a whole 2 paragraphs of tired drama.

Wow.....she actually emailed you??? The nerve!!! Just put her on the spam list...she'll be blocked

women like that scare me as well..I HAVE witnessed the militant types that believe relaxing the hair means youre trying to act like other races...ugh..that to me seems so ignorant! why blame us because we want easy to manage hair. A lot of us women have busy lives, families, responsibilities, that make perming more convienient..most imporantly WE LIKE THE WAY IT LOOKS..

i dont mean to offend anyone on this board that thinks that way..but thats always freaked me out..looking the way you wanna look SHOULD be your choice and jewell...ignorance is wide spread out there girl..some natural hair isnt healthy because some women dont know how to take care of it...its really on an individualistic basis..

ugh..now im disgusted..

lol..hope i havent said too much! lol

 

[asummertyme]

those tyoes weird me out as well.. i hate the fact that we are singled out because some of us chemically alter our hair..meanwhile there are so many other races that so the exact same thing...and there is nothing werong with that ..to each his own..good griefus!

Okay! What about brunettes that bleach their hair blonde? Who are they trying to "act like"?

People need to get a grip!

Yep she sure did. Lives somewhere around here in South Cack because she had an sc.rr.com e-mail address (South Carolina Road Runner). Trust me, I did. Haven't heard anything back.

 

[meia]

CatSuga,

Thanks for posting that hair type chart! I think that I'm a 2 something! I'll vote after I get my mom to look at my hair and tell me what she thinks.

 

[CynamonKis]

Maybe 3c--I have never really been able to answer that question, but this pic is exactly like my hair in its natural state (from growafrohairlong.com):

[IntelligenceisBeautiful]

4A hair type here

 

[esoterica]

thats a great chart!

 

[deeshortesthair]

The first 1/2 square inch of my hair in the front is 3c and texturized (big mistake experiment) and the the middle and back is a combo of3c/ 4a .sooo much going on.

 

[imstush]

I never understood women like that either, I was in a forum and everyday all day they would preach about creamy crack!!! Some people when as far as to accuse people of lying about their hair texture. HELLO not all black people have type 4 hair, and it's ok. **shakes head** On that note, I have 3b and 3c hair.
