Since my hair was extremely damaged because of the hair dye, I decided to cut it at ear length 5 months ago.
It's now almost at shoulders length but since my shoulders are going down a true shoulders length would be almost at apl.

Before damaging my hair, I had a slight S wave pattern, the type of waves that you get with a regular braid but only at the bottom of my hair lol.
It's not even like braids waves but it's really similar, just less wavy, but you get it ! :)

Like I said before, I cut it and it's now healthy again and I noticed my hair curling up at the end ! When it was extremely damaged I was a 1A now it's more like a 1B ! So I wanted to know if some people with a slight waves pattern experienced the same while being at shoulders length :)

Yep my hair used to bounce back up off my shoulders, it did that from about chin length. I think it’s a common thing with shoulder length hair.

You will probably get a better idea of your wave pattern when you get to around APL. It’s fun watching how the hair changes at different stages :)

Before I cut my hair, I was at apl approximately and my hair was showing a slight S shape ! I have a picture where we can see it well :)

I did a screenshot of my pic that was on snap lol !

I would still call that straight hair; 1b at the most. But we have an entire hairtyping thread specifically for this.

Yep, looks like my old 1b hair. Since pregnancy, my hair has gone a little crazy and I'm not sure of the type, but those pics look like my pre-babies hair!

My (2a) hair looked like this at shoulder, but I also believe it's become more wavy over time and may have been 1b in the past like yours, PetitOuiseau. Your hair is lovely and thick and shiny and in great condition - I expect there's a wide range of hair from 1b to 2c that could look similar at shoulder.
