So excited. It's the end of my third month of LHC. :) As usual, there is a huge progress in the condition of my hair.

Ends are continuing to look more and more blunt. :) Babying my hair, S&Ding and microtrims are really paying off. For comparison, here's my first month:

The texture seems to be improving, it looks a lot softer and healthier in my most recent photo. And the microtrims really help! I only take off a teeny tiny amount but it makes a HUGE difference.

Yay!

Also, is it me or does my hair look wavier? Is it a solid 1c or would you consider it 1c/2a?

It looks awesome! You can definitely tell the ends are thickening up quite a bit.

If you're interested in a hair typing, I think you'd need to clarify your hair and let it dry without touching and then post pictures.

It basically says that I don't need to clarify, just wash my hair as I normally do and not touch while drying. I normally don't touch it while drying anyways. -shrug-

Oh, hrm. I was always hearing that you were supposed to clarify first. My bad! :o

I'm not amazing at hair typing, but I would say at least 1c. I'm sure more people will guess as well.

Hm, it could possibly be a taste of personal preference as well. I've read both that a regular washing and that a clarifying wash is needed.

Wow, that is a big difference in just a few months! Very pretty! :)

I really should microtrim my hair sometime!

I really should microtrim my hair sometime!I'm planning to continue maintaining until December, and after that I'm gonna grow all the way to Classic!

Very nice! It might be easier to see in a brighter photo so someone can more accurately determine your hair type. I'd say in the 1's, though. Maybe 1b/1c, but it might help if you have a picture with a bit more light (like natural sunlight maybe ^^)

This is what I think, too. It has a bit of wave, possibly more than a straight 1b, but I wouldn't go further than 1b/1c.

~maborosi~ Unfortunately I'm limited to a phone camera. But I definitely could improve the lighting. :) I'll try to take some photos outside during the day sometime.

Thanks for posting that link, the pictures really helped me a lot. I just figured out that my hair isn't a 1c after all, it's actually a 2b!

By the way, your hair looks so much healthier and awesome! Keep up the great work!:blossom:
