I've always had problems with what type to identify with (not that it matters that much anyway). My hair is made up of ringlets, although they are pretty loose and starts from about my ear (i.e. not all the way from the scalp), but practically no S-waves. But still, my hair visually appears to be more wavy than curly as you can see in the pictures. It feels wrong to call it 3a since it doesn't look like in the 3's (IMO), but also wrong to call it 2c since I have no S-waves. So I've gone with 2c/3a as typing.

What I'm asking is if having ringlets per definition makes your hair curly, or can you be a wavy with ringlets if it looks wavy visually? Any thoughts? :P









But of course, the ringlets are more defined at shorter lengths, so might be a question of length and weighing down. But still doesn't look curly enough to be in the 3's to me:
