Ok a month ago, on Hallowe'en, we tried to type my hair but I had handled it wrong after my shower. I followed the directions I read in another thread today and sure enough I notice a difference. Is it obvious to anyone else? Do I call myself a 1c now? :eye: I looked at the typing guide but want more opinions! :)
All I did tonight was one lather with Pantene Classic Clean 2 in 1 Conditioning shampoo. I clarified last week, very sure there is no build up, and this is without any rinse out or leave in conditioner. There are sulfates and cones, but it was just one product. It feels nice actually. Soft and silky, but not floppy and weighted down.
This is so exciting after a lifetime of fighting with what I thought was straight hair. This is a game changer. How do I care for slightly wavy hair? Lighter conditioners? Strictly NO handling during drying? I'm totally lost now, I don't know what to do with this information other than "yay it's cute this way!"
Your official verdict on what type it is, and what I need to do now with fine hair that gets oily super easy is greatly appreciated. Thanks everybody!

PS I put last month's picture side by side with tonight's picture to make the difference a little easier to compare. Black t shirt as usual so it's easier to see the hairs.

I'd say 1c or 1c/2a, but I'm leaning towards 1c because the waves don't really clump together into individual S waves.

1c/2a, not full 2a for sure! More to the 1c side.

Thank you so much everyone. This is awesome news to me. I sent the pics to my mom last night and we were awestruck at how we missed this my whole life. Lol

Your hair is amazing. Definitely a 1c/2a as the others have suggested. Beautiful color, too, even in the indoor lighting.
