Hair Classification Question

[PeachyWavy]

Hello everyone! :)

For a long time now I've always thought my hair was a 2c. Recently, someone over at NaturallyCurly.com said they thought it was more of a 3a, so I changed my classification here to a 2c/3a.

So that got me thinking, do you classify your hair by what the majority of it is? Do you classify hair based on your usual styling routine, or in what state? :confused:

P.S, opinions welcome- have a look at my hair in these pictures (Click! (http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=9049&pictureid=118211)Click! (http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=9049&pictureid=118214)) and tell me what you think! Thanks in advance :D

I'd have to see your hair in non-styled format to tell. Take a proper hair typing picture (Wash, rinse gently and don't touch at all. Once dry take photos.) and you'll get a more accurate typing. :)

Yup just as lostsoule77 said. No styling at all to see your true hair type.

Right, I'll do that next time I have a few hours free. I think it's very similar, just a little more frizzy- I add a bit of gel to cope with that. :)
