New-need help with hair typing.

[joliherb]

Hi, I'm pretty new. I just figured out how to post! LOL I am questioning my hair type. I'm not sure how curly to put my hair. Please help me!:)
Thank you!

Lol, umm i would say maybe 3b or 3c? Just my guess, based on your siggy pic your hair is quite curly and very pretty

[Kira94]

Yeah, I'm only a 2, so I don't know the 3s very well, but I'd definitely say you're somewhere in there! 3a? 3b maybe?

[kjirstiben]

I'd guess a 3b... it's hard to tell from only one pic, but it looks like you've got some tight spiralling action going on, though not as tight as a 3c.

Thank you ladies!

I'd say it's a 3b/3c but it's hard to tell

[HappyHair87]

I say 3a/3b. I have 3c/4a hair with 3b in the front and your curls aren't as tight as mine. Yours are very spiraly, 3c is very corkscrew/springy

[joliherb]

Ok, cool! I had myself down as a 2a/2b. Is all 3a/3b hair dry? My hair is very dry.

Curlies and wurlies are prone to dryness espiecially if it is winter where you are. I would say do a moisture treatment like an SMT (snowy's moisture treatment) or maybe 2-3 drops of mineral oil to hold the moisture in your hair. Not ALL curlies are dry, but is an issue for most. I am a 2b/2c and i certainly need lots of moisture.

I'm guessing 3A

[CurlyMopTop]

I'd go with 3a. It's hard to tell from your pictures, if your curls are about chalk size 3a, sharpie size 3b. If you have a mixture, in between. :D

I just started baby oil and am doing very well with it. I am also deep oiling with African Ultimate herbal oil once a week or on the ends if I have done an up do for church. I have already gained 3 inches on my length. This is new for me as I have not been gaining lenth for years! :)
