I have seen a lot of threads asking for help with hairtyping. This is all well and good, but I thought it might be helpful to have a thread where anyone can come and ask for help with their hairtype. Also, please forgive me if there is already a thread like this and shouldn't be another one. I haven't seen anything of the sort as yet. I know there is a hairtyping guide, but I think it's okay to have a thread for it as well because there are already so many.
Now, I'm not much of an expert on hairtyping myself, although you can by all means ask me for advice. I am in need of help with my own hairtype. When I came here, I put down 2b M ii as my type, just as a wild guess. Well, it turned out that 2b was too straight and ii was too thin, so that got changed to 2c M ii/iii. But at this point I consider myself too curly for 2c, so I am down as 2c/3a. I am still not sure whether to change that to 3a. I have no idea if I should actually be F/M because I am not good at figuring out strand thickness. I would like to re-examine the volume issue again when my hair is longer, because I think I might actually be iii. I have no idea what any of my classifiers should be.
