View Full Version : Fia Hairtyping - Opinions? 1c/2a?

I need some opinions on how I should classify my hair...yes, I've seen Fia's gallery, but I still can't really see myself.

My hair isn't..particularly fine, or coarse, I don't think. I have a Hell of a lot of it, though, and it grows like a weed.

If I use a standard or salon shampoo, comb it well, and let it air-dry - it's more of a 1c.
If I use an all-natural shampoo, a tiny bit of conditioner on the ends, and lightly finger-comb it and barely touch it at all - it's more of a 2a/2b.
If I let it air-dry, and shake my hair upside down and scrunch with a little detangling spray or serum - it's more of a 2b/2c..
See my problem?

I couldn't see your images.

It sounds to me as if your hair is a 2a/2b, to me. Since that is what you get with air drying and minimal manipulation. :D

I'd have to agree with Speedy. I remember when everybody was trying to figure out their true hairtype, Fia suggested that you wash, finger-comb and air-dry your hair for accuracy.

Not sure why my pictures aren't working...I guess it's because I'm under the post limit.

I'd say 2a/2b as well. Most of the pics looked 2a to me, but the one on the upper right looked more 2bish.
