White people with type 4 hair

That man has been painting pictures since I was four. He disturbed me then and he disturbs me now.

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa....

I think you mean Bob Ross:

Don't Fro there!

I'm thinking he's a 3b/c or something... sometimes it looks like type 4...but not Macy Gray type 4.

Yep...that's him!!

WOW!! It's funny that you posted this, I was just about to post something similar. I have two instructors of Jewish decent and they both have bushy/kinky hair. I just thought it was them two in particular, but I'm guessing by your post that its not uncommon for Jewish people to have hair that appears kinky like those of African decent.

I think there are white people with hair that appears to be type 4 but I've never seen a white person that actually had type 4 hair.

When it comes to hair typing, isn't it all about how the hair 'appears' to be??? Andre's hair typing system is just a way to catergorize everyone's hair texture. It's not an actual exact system where one hair type is designated for a certain race. D'you know what I mean?

This Andre system is confusing. Can't we just go back to the old sytem that everyone's familiar with e.g. straight, wavy, curly, afro?

I am also confused. I thought I was a 4a but on Saturday my hairdresser swears I am a 3c?
