I have been natural since 2004. The back of my hair has big silky curls as opposed to the rest of my hair. I am beginning to think that the back of my hair is more protected from exposure. When I put my hair in a bun or pony tail, I really don't pull on the back of my hair the way I do the rest. When I wear it down, it is covered by the rest of my hair. Who knows, really?
3a/b/c and 4a..... All in my head and thy form cliques! The 3a and some 3b in the front on the right, then the 3b and 3c on the left and in the crown, more 3c in the back and some 4a in the back on the left. A HOT MESS!
I have come to terms that my hair... is as psychotic as I am
You know, where's your looser texture?
Man, this topic is just begging for a poll.
Center
Front
Back
Sides
Combo
All same texture
And then one in the children's forum to see if the adults mirror the children. And then one to ask which part of your head you always put the relaxer on first. Only because I was reading somewhere recently how someone said the chem burn scarring she had on her scalp in some spots from relaxers had straight hair growing out of it and she was amazed hair was still growing there at all. It just made me wonder if repeated chemical applications could have an effect on the texture you grew.
... My uncle and grandaddy along with my mom has very loose curls all over their heads.. So I figured I got their follicles at the back of my head and inherited my dads follicles at the crown
! My dad's side follicles are scarce making the hair appear thinner.. and I inherited that too. My sides of thinness was way more apparent when I was relaxed but now as a natural head it is camoflauged. 
what in the heck?! Anyway, it is an interesting topic, indeed.
I was wondering if anybody else was experiencing breakage in that fragile area when they used to relax.I find the topic terribly interesting as well. When I was relaxed the hairdressers always said I had different textures on my head but man you just don't really know till you go natural and then it's like
Do you guys also notice thickness differences? My crown which is more wavy and grows the quickest is thick, the twists there are the business. Anyway, my nape which is 4a/b and grows the slowest turns out to be fine, my twists there aren't wimpy but nowhere near as thick and bouncy as my crown. I'm texturized now but I can still see and feel the difference. I sometimes wonder if the textures have any meaning or if they reflect our personalities or struggles or what. Am I getting too deep?

I feel the same way about my hair.....just all over the place!
I was also wondering....
Does anyone have a piece like I do in the front of my head that doesn't even think about curling? I initially thought that maybe it was because I pull my hair pack everyday (military), so maybe it was "trained" to be straight.
It's weird because before I decided to grow it out natural, I noticed that the crown always came out extra straight and smooth when flatironing.
Maybe it is just not meant to curl.
. Mine is in the front. My nape is tighter and more unruly. It's like a totally different head of hair. My curl pattern being like this makes my wash n' go's sit kinda funny because the back shrinks up more and makes the other hair sit up and out, lol. I'd much rather the looser texture be in the back or at least for it to all be uniform.
