MULTIPLE QUESTIONS - Type of hair where you live

**Almendra** · November 13th, 2013, 10:31 AM

This thread has too many options to make a poll, so I put the questions below with all the references.

I would like to know what it's the average type of hair where do you live. I also included "color" like a characteristic of type of hair (It makes reference to the natural color). This thread also contemplates characteristic like the ethnicity of the people (There is no intention to offense in this).

1- Where do you live?
(If it's a big country like USA OR Canada, please, specify your city. Also, if you live in a country with a big diversity of ethnic group)

2- What is your type of hair?
(References below)

3- Did you always have this type of hair? What was your type of hair before?

4- What is the average type of hair in your country/city?
(You can specify two or three if there's more than one ethnic group predominant. References below)

5- What is the average type of hair in your family?
(References below)

(Original thread HERE)

FIRST CLASSIFIER - Your curliness (or lack thereof)

1a - stick straight
1b - straight but with a slight body wave, just enough to add some volume, doesn't look wavy
1c - straight with body wave and one or two visible S-waves (e.g. nape of neck or temples)
2a - loose, stretched out S-waves throughout the hair
2b - shorter, more distinct S-waves (similar to waves from braiding damp hair)
2c - distinct S-waves and the odd spiral curl forming here and there
3a - big, loose spiral curls
3b - bouncy ringlets
3c - tight corkscrews
4a - tightly coiled S-curls
4b - tightly coiled hair bending in sharp angles (Z-pattern)

SECOND CLASSIFIER - What (most of) your individual strands look like

F - Fine
Thin strands that sometimes are almost translucent when held up to the light. Shed strands can be hard to see even against a contrasting background. Similar to hair found on many people of Scandinavian descent.
You can also try rolling a strand between your thumb and index finger. Fine hair is difficult to feel or it feels like an ultra-fine strand of silk

M - Medium
Strands are neither fine nor coarse. Similar to hair found on many Caucasians.
You can also try rolling a strand between your thumb and index finger. Medium hair feels like a cotton thread. You can feel it, but it isn't stiff or rough. It is neither fine or coarse.

C - Coarse
Thick strands that where shed strands usually are easily identified against most backgrounds. Similar to hair found on many people of Asian or native American descent.
You can also try rolling a strand between your thumb and index finger. Coarse hair feels hard and wiry. As you roll it back and forth, you may actually hear it.

THIRD CLASSIFIER - Your overall volume of hair

Put your hair in a ponytail with as much hair as possible in it. Don't bother with the way it looks - the goal is to have most/all of your hair in there. If it means it sits smack dab on top of your head, put it there.
Measure the circumference of the ponytail. If you have bangs and/or you can't get all of your hair in there adjust according to how much of your hair you have measured.

i - thin (less than 2 inches/5 centimeters)
ii - normal (between 2-4 inches or 5-10 centimeters)
iii - thick (more than 4 inches/10 centimeters)

FOURTH CLASSIFIER - Natural color

Blonde
Redhead
Brunette

NOTE: As you know, if the type is not exact or you're not sure, you can make an approximation with two types. With the color, I know there's too many variant and names you can give to them, but I choose the three most common. So, for example, If you are a Blondette, you can put Blonde/Brunette as you color type. And also... I don't expect that you know the exact type of hair of everyone, you can make an approximation.

1- Where do you live?
In the countryside of the one of the mid-Atlantic States USA. Some diversity of people here but most are white Americans of English descent who came in the 18th century or before and/or German descent, came to US same time. I myself am of mixed race Caribbean descent, so sort of stick out! though there are other black people, its very few.

2- What is your type of hair?
3c, coarse, iii thickness

3- Did you always have this type of hair? What was your type of hair before?

Always had this type of hair. I was a curly baby.
4- What is the average type of hair in your country/city?
I would guess, 1c -2a, fine, average thickness but its hard to tell, there's very little natural hair to be seen. Most are fair enough to be convincing blondes and something like 80% of the grown women bleach their hair (and probably do other things too). However, the majority of children are naturally blond, until either age 7 or so, some until age 12. Most of the men have blonette hair, so I would guess most of the women naturally do too. There don't seem to be many curlies, however, women do come to me and confess to being curly and blow-drying and flat ironing, so there may be a lot more than I think. Many of the children are wavy.
the most common color of eyes are blue, and just about everyone complains about not tanning well-the people in this area are fair.

5- What is the average type of hair in your family?
Two very different sides. Dad's side ranges from 2c-3c, some 2a or 2b, very few perhaps 4a, mostly this side all has coarse strong hair that's pretty indestructible. mom's side, 4b and 4c (if 4c exists), ultra baby fine, breaks easily. Me and siblings have hair more like Dad's.

It all sticks out in this area, though--none of us look anything like Northern European background blonds!

1- Where do you live?
I live in Phoenix, Arizona. USA

2- What is your type of hair?
1c, f, i/ii, naturally blonde

3- Did you always have this type of hair? What was your type of hair before?
I have mostly always had the same type of hair. I guess it was a much lighter blonde when I was young and darkened as I got older.

4- What is the average type of hair in your country/city?
Lots of people around here have thicker, darker, and/or wavier hair than me (The american southwest has a lot of native american and hispanic people). In a few of my classes in highschool, I was the only blonde girl in class! Since dying my hair brown, I feel like I fit in a bit more with the whole of the population around here.

5- What is the average type of hair in your family?
About the same as mine, Some have more fine hair and some less fine.. but mostly all 1c and very blonde.

It was more 1c before puberty. Prob darkened slightly since then. Always M/iii

Hmm.. this is really hard to answer. People can alter the appearance of their hair so easily.
Medium brown is probably the most common....? As for thickness and density, it's very hard to say, varies a lot.

5- What is the average type of hair in your family?
(References below)
ranging from 1c to 2c/M/Mostly iii and some ii as well. Colours: shades of black, dark brown, auburn
