I hate to ask, but my hair just confuses me. It's not seen here but my underlayer does have some spiral curls. Also my hair clumps together (it always has since I was little) and depending on its mood/the position of mercury in relation to jupiter they may or may not curl around themselves.

These pictures are from today. I washed my hair (shampoo + co) and let it air dry without combing or even finger combing. Didn't touch it at all (very hard for me to do, I play with my hair all the time).

Sorry the last one is blurry, but I decided to include it because I found it showed a bit more texture than just the straight on back shots.

I think I'm just so confused because my hair used to be a lot wavier but I think the amount of damage my length has has really affected it. I hope to rehab it back as I grow out the damage.

I would say 2a or 1c/2a. It looks similar to mine.

Just going by what we can see, I say 2a. If you have spiral curls under there though, it would be 2c.

Can this be a general hair typing help thread? I'd like a little help figuring mine out as well. :confused:

If others would like help go ahead and post (well that's my opinion anyways).

Thank you everyone. I think I'll go with 2a for now, and when my hair gets a bit more of it's curl back (since I've been moisturizing the spiral curls are just coming back now) I'll reconsider. Again, thank you.

Overall 2a, as it looks a bit too wavy for 1c, and has curls underneath. The curls won't be 2a though... so yeah confusing. My hair ranges from 1b/1c to 2b/2c :rolleyes:.

It's the curls underneath that throw me off too. Silly hair not fitting the definitions. But a lot of people don't really fit neatly into one slot, or so I've noticed.

Since the OP thought it would be okay...

Anyone have thoughts on my type? I originally thought 2a/2b, but I'm just not sure.
