The link that I have found for images of Fia's hairtyping is no longer working. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I'm looking for images of the different hair types, i.e 1a, 1b, 1c. etc.
I'm a visual person so it really helps me to see the picture to gage the differences between the types.

Thanks :)

whaaaattt...am I a 1a then??? I'm not sure, I still think I have a 'body wave', but then...what exactly is a body wave? My hair certainly looks more like the 1a pictures, nothing like the 1b pictures. hmmh.

sorry for hijacking this thread!

According to the photos and other hair typing. I am a 1b, I am a combination of fine and medium, and ii or normal thickness

You're very welcome. :)

FYI, the Wayback Machine (http://archive.org/web/web.php) is able to access many of the articles that no longer work after the server upgrade. All you need is the original URL. :flower:

Oh, yes, I remember.
This is the thing that had no photos of 3c or any of the 4's
I remember reading that this was because no one in these categories had posted photos or something like that. I remember that there WAS a reason.
But since we have a whole section for the 4's now, maybe this could be fixed...?

The hair picture for 2b/2c, ii/iii looks almost exactly like mine. This archive is really helpful to make sure I have my hair type right. :)

3c-4c weren't even pictured.

Disappointing

Hey! That's me for 3bmiii - cool! *grin*

but I, too, was disappointed not to see any photos of 3c, and the 4s! sadness!

Disappointing

Probably due to the lack of interest. That article depended on entries, after all!

So Glad to see this again. Now I know that I went from a 3c pre-Henna to a 1c post-Henna! :p So, I am now a 1cMii :bow:

Yay, pictures to compare! The thread I found when I first joined just had the description of each type; it looks like I got it right. The 2a/M/ii picture looks the closest to my hair but 2b/C/ii/iii looks a little like it does sometimes.

Erm, so am I even wavier than I thought? I keep inching towards more wavy. My hair here is just washed and fingercombed both while wet and dry. I used normal cone-free shampoo and condish. Your input would be helpful!

That looks pretty wavy to me!

Yes...it seems to be wavier than I realized. My grandmother had very wavy hair and my mother always lamented my flat, un-wavy hair. I guess I assumed I wasn't at all wavy until I came here. Shall I go with 2b?

I'm usually pretty happy with these waves, except when I'm trying to grow to waist! I go between being happy and somewhat grumpy!
