When joining LHC a little over a year ago, I tried hair typing myself. I think I was way off. I never really just.. let my hair go in its natural state. Tonight, I decided, what the who. I deep oiled my hair, shampooed/conditioned it out, and then just let my hair go from there. I didn't apply any product or oil, nor did I brush it. I did, however, wrap it in a towel post-shower and sort of scrunched it just with my fingers after leaving it out of the towel. I took three pictures from there.

Dry, sans brushing or product, untouched:

Based on these photos, I'd put myself now at 1B-C/M/II. I can't decide on B or C but I may just be between. I'd like to know if the general consensus agrees, or disagrees.

UNPICTURED: I have one little thin group of bangs which is generously wavy, nearly a tight S wave. The rest of my hair is pretty long so either these bangs are out of place or the rest of my hair would be the same if it were that short.

My first classification when coming here was 1A/F/I :p. You see why I need help XD?

My vote is 1C.

I favored that option, although post-brushing I didn't know if it still qualified. Thanks for the input :).

Oh, by the way, love the new sig pic! Your hair is just lovely :)!

I'd call your hair a 1c, too. :) I get bendy pieces when I air dry that look a lot like the ones in your first picture. They get pulled out very easily so my hair looks like a 1b/1c or 1b when it's brushed and/or depending on how oily it is.

Thank you; I had to catch the curls quick because after a few hours the weight pulls most of them straight; then it looks like I have 1C hair, too.

I'm just wondering why you scrunched your hair for this, if we're trying to type it? Makes it kinda hard to be certain how much of that is what your hair does naturally and how much is what you did via scrunching.
