Another hair typing question...

[whiteisle]

....I'm thinking of re-evaluating my hairtype but I'm not sure how to "set it up". Currently, I'm using cones because they seem to make my hair feel better and make it behave somewhat better than without. But if I am to get a true assessment of my hairtype should I use the cone poo and condish and then air-dry? Or should I use a clarifying poo and non-cone condish and then air-dry?

And is there anything else I should do to get a real idea of what I have here?

I would advise going cone-free for hairtyping, just to get a good feel of what your natural state is. Cones, for me, calm my waves. So I was typed as a 1b when I first joined (when I was conelicious), and now am a 2a/2b since my wavies are cropping up. :) It goes to show you how much cones can truly affect hairtype!
