hairtype?

[Kiraela]

I know I'm a two of some sort, but I can't figure out what level... Any help would be appreciated!

It actually normally curls more when wet, that was washed with gentle bodywash and air dried, no conditioner, just a tiny bit of oil rubbed onto the ends to keep them from getting too velcro-ish.

I'm not great at hairtyping, but I'd venture to say a 2a. Very pretty hair, Kiraela!

Thanks Firefly :)

I would guess you are a 2a when I look at your picture. I think it's difficult to classify 2a-2c hair because the wave pattern can be so different in the same head of hair.
Of course it's hard to see the second classifier in a photo but are you sure you have C hair? I have always thought that coarse hair was mostly common in asian and native hair. But what do I know,my hair is very fine:D

[granitbaby]

Oh, I forgot to tell you how pretty your hair is Kiraela! :flower:

[Kiraela]

Aww, thanks granitbaby! My ends are mostly f/m, but much of the upper canopy, especially is a mix of M and C. Mostly the darker strands.

I'd say you're a pretty solid 2a.

I'd say 2b with 2c potential with a little more moisture/conditioner. Very pretty hair.

Thanks glasseyes! Thanks speckla! It does tend to curl a bit more with conditioner, but I thought hairtyping was supposed to be how it would be without any other outside influences. I only have pics of my hair conditioned without being combed, that are wet. Should I post one for comparison?

[GlassEyes]

I think hairtyping should be done with your normal routine, only without being touched by a comb after and air-dried. :shrug: So if you normally use conditioner and it's more wavy, then I say go for it. I've never posted a hairtyping picture on here without conditioner.

[Kiraela]

Okay, here's what it looks like when still half wet, with my regular routine, except no combing has been done.

Okay, now that looks around 2c. xD; Maybe with something that had hold in it, it'd be that wavy dry.

[Kiraela]

What would you reccommend?

[Katze]

hairtyping should be on dry hair so I would say 2b-2c. and very pretty too!

[Kiraela]

Thanks Katze!
