Here is a picture of my hair, clarified, air-dried, with no leave-ins. When I put leave ins, the curls are more defined.
I think I'm M ii, and either a 3a or a 2c. All my hair is curly, but some spirals are flatter than others, and some are practically s-shaped waves. My curliest hair is in the front, and so can't be seen.
What would you type my hair as?
And does anybody have suggestions for frizz?
Thanks.

Based on the sides of the hair, I would say 3a and based on the middle/back, I would say 2c. So I guess this means 2c/3a. :lol: It definitely looks like a mixed hairtype.
As for frizz, I always recommend cream-based leave-ins. This could be just a dollop of your regular conditioner left in after a wash, or something like Nightblooming's Panacea Hair Salve (http://www.etsy.com/listing/85632755/panaceas-hair-salve-winter-blend-12oz) (I linked to the winter blend, but there are two other blends) or Kinky Curly Knot Today (available at CurlMart (http://www.curlmart.com/product/kinky-curly-knot-today/) or Target (http://www.target.com/p/Kinky-Curly-Knot-Today-Leave-In-Conditioner-Detangler-8-oz/-/A-13044269#?lnk=sc_qi_detaillink)). I recommend applying these products while your hair is still damp.
Hope that helps! :flower:

I think I'd call your hair 2c.
As for frizz, I second Krissy's suggestion of leave-ins. Oils (such as coconut and olive oil) may help, too, applied either on damp or dry hair. If you want to give your curls more definition, try some aloe vera, or mix aloe with an oil. :flower:
