I think that Andre probably didn't envision people taking the hair typing system to such a degree as we do on hair boards. I agree that typing one's hair can be very subjective, and not only that but pictures do not always convey the true nature/texture or hair. I take most of my pics when my hair is styled with products, and to me it looks coilier/frizzier in person than in my pics...<shrug> I use the hair typing system as a general guideline only, not an exact thing.For example if someone says they have type 4 hair I'm going to expect it to be afro-type hair with a high degree of fuzz/frizz (if natural). Type 3 hair is similiar to type 4a but less wiry etc...But it's still a range, not an exact number.

I think you're right as far as the range is concerned. For example, I don't think anyone is a definite 2b or 4a...but they exist somewhere in the range. There could be 30 different 2bs and 30 different 4as to varying degrees. Just a thought.
