This is after I washed it last night, finger combed only. No products. Air dried. I always had 1a stick straight hair - until after my second child was born. It was also thin - now my ponytail not including my fringe is over 4". The front/fringe is still a 1a. So, anyway, please help. Thanks!!http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/8628/hair53008pq2.jpgOh and the pic in my siggy is after my hair was flat-ironed at the salon (first time ever). I've since dyed it back to match my natural color as well, after 3 months of lightening.

Hm..... it looks like maybe a combination 1c/2a?

Thanks! The waves and frizzies are driving me nuts LOL Guess I'm just not used to them yet!

Does anyone else agree- am I a 1c or 1c/2a or what??

My first thought is 2A -- more wavy than straight.

2a. You have what pretty much amounts to 'all over waves'. 1c hair has just a few loose S shapes within mostly straight hair. You look more wavy than straight to me.

ETA: Your use of the flatiron to get straight hair is telling. 1 types may have a few small wavy dents to smooth out with a flatiron, and even then only if going for the super sleek look. 2 types would almost have to use a flatiron to get hair that straight. I could comb the wave out of my hair as a 2a, but nothing short of either a blowout with a round brush or a flatiron is going to give me straight hair now.

I agree much more wavy than straight when left by itself.

2a is my vote.

Very pretty BTW!

if that's how your hair is untreated, at LEAST 2a - even 2b, given the wave pattern.

1c is mostly straight with just a few waves - I'm seeing a lot wavier than that.

Looks to me like 2a, medium, ii. That's my guess anyhow.

Right now, I would classify it as an average of a 1c. It could easily be bumped up to a 2a in the near future, though.

2a, just like mine! In fact, that could be a pic of my hair when it was that length. :)

Looks like you have a mix of 1c and 2b. Since 1c/2b isn't an available option, I'll go with 2a.

Where do you find the definition of those numbers. I didn't type mine at all cause I didn't know what they meant.

I'd go with saying its a 2a for now.

I would definately say 2a but maybe more considering you finger combed. Maybe it would have been wavier doing nothing at all to it...no fingers even.
