Ok so I joined LHC awhile back but just got into coming here regulary and I need help typing my hair. I think its about a 2c/3a but I'm not sure. What do you think?
Here a two different pictures from different days, sorry they are not so good, I took them on my webcam. I know they look like different colors/ length but its just the way i'm holdng my head/ lighting:)

I am a bit rusty in hair typing, having been away from the forums for a long time, but to me it looks like it would be in the 3s. You have such length and yet your roots are not flat, to me it indicates at least 3a, if not more! Very pretty hair and curls!

I love the pink! <3

It's rather difficult to see the curl pattern in the first two pictures, but based on the curl pattern from the last picture, I would say that you're right. 2c/3a. :)

Thanks guys! Its great to think I could be a solid 3a- I always thought my curls weren't tight enough:D

I would also say 3a, curlier than 2c. But hey what do I know about curls :)

I'm going with 3A, too. It's curlier than my 2C.

I'm no expert at hair typing, but I'd also say it's a 3a... it looks more curly than wavy, and the 2s tend to be "wavies".

Also, if that is your length it looks longer than waist... of course, I usually measure my hair stretched :). I'd think it'd be at least hip length because even WITH your curls it looks a little longer than waist.

I would say 2c/3a. I'm leaning more toward 2c, though. I think I'm 3a and my hair seems curlier than yours, but maybe I'm really 3a/b??

I definitely would say 3a. My hair is about a 2c and it's not quite as curly as yours! :)

I'm going with 2c/3a. I see lots of wave in there mixed in with occasional spirals. I consider myself to be the same hair type since I don't have a lot of curl formation after my hair thoroughly dries. Just lots of tight finger like waves. The tighter waves I think gives the illusion of being curlier.
