I can't decide If I'm considered a wavey or my hair is straight. That picture is right after a wash, air dried. I was thinking 2a but maybe it's a 1b?
Help please?

Oh and this is my first hair picture on hair, yay me :cheese:

I would say 1b/2a you have some waves, but only a few. beautiful hair BTW!

1c I'd say, based on visible S waves but not uniformly throughout. Very pretty hair you have there :)

I'd say 1c, maybe 1c/2a.

Yours looks like mine! Big S waves, so 1 c.

I'll go along with 1C.

I'd go 1c/2a. :) There's a good handful of s-waves in there, more than a typical 1c, but not throughout like a 2a.

Edit: Actually, I'm wondering; is your canopy less wavy than your underlayer? Looking at your photo again, it looks as if it might be.

Yes, actually, my canopy is much straighter than the underlayer. My hair looks awkward because right by my ears there's a few spirally waves that always give me trouble but there aren't any on my canopy.

I'd say 1b/1c because it has body and slight waves but not enough waves to be really wavey. Just a flip here and there :) Beautiful color, thickness, and hair!

I'd agree with 1c. I also have the super wavy bits by my ears too; they drive me nuts!

1c/2a

I'd go for 1c/2a or 2a. Your hair is much too wavy to be a 1b.

Did you comb it at all? It looks like a 2a to me, but if you combed it out then it might be even wavier.

I combed with a really wide toothed comb just to seperate stringiness a bit.

I vote for 1c.

In that case I'd say it's probably 2a, but it may be wavier. Combing even with a wide tooth comb straightens the hair, especially if you comb it when it's wet or damp. My hair looks like it's 1b or 1b/1c when I've combed it.

I think I'm gonna go with 2a just because I did comb through once. Thank you all for the advice!
