So, I decided to make a separate thread for this so I won't crowd anyone else's. :)
I always thought my hair dried relatively straight unless I did something to it, but as it turns out, I just treated my hair wrong - I would brush it after it had been drying for a while and together with all the damage, my hair never really showed anything other than frizz and poofing. I used to curl my hair with a curling iron the day I washed it so I never really got to know my actual texture, I just figured it was a bit wavy and mostly straight.
Now I've been experimenting with the CG routine and discovered scrunching and plopping and all that and thought my hair would still be straight and frizzy if I didn't scrunch and plop it, but I was pleasantly surprised as I watched my waves form without any assisting! I guess moisturizing it and quitting heat styling has paid off.

And I even have two spirals in my hair on my temples, and I managed to catch the other on my phone a bit later:

So, what do you think? :o It's somewhere in the 2's I figure. The hair is wavier in the front and in the back the hair closest to my neck seems to be almost straight.
