So, I've always known that I've had curly/wurly hair since I was a very small child, but I've never known exactly what my curl patter n would be classified as. I know my hair is iii thick, and my strands are F/M for sure, but what is my curl pattern?

I've also been on LHC for just over a year now, and started with shoulder length/APL length and I'm pretty sure I'm at midback but I'm not sure. I hit waist last month and then chopped a good 2 inches off to even the bottom up.

So that's basically what my hair looks like after 3 days without brushing and then with brushing... so what is my curl pattern, and how long is my hair?

There are more photos in my album here: http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/album.php?albumid=6019

Thank you guys in advanced!

I'd say maybe a 2c? Very pretty.

I'd put you at 2c too. Your hair is similar to mine in wave/curl pattern. :D

I'm putting you at 3A - mostly curly. I'm a 2C, which is mostly wavy with a few curls. You've got curlier hair than I do.

I'm no expert, but I think you're more of a 3, too. I would put you a MBL (mid-back length) - between BSL and waist. Very pretty hair!

This is interesting. I must be categorizing mine wrong.

I'd go with 2C/3A. Either way; I love your curl pattern! :crush:

You sig pic looks more like 3A to me also, but it's kind of hard to tell. I couldn't find any other pictures of your hair.

Thanks so much! I'll take a picture tomorrow after I wash my hair (hair experiment gone very wrong) and that way there is a picture of my hair fresh and all natural =]

Thank you to everyone, I'm pretty sure it's 3a for me now that I see others as well.

Thanks again! Happy hair days!
