So I finally was a good girl and washed with a cleansing shampoo (aka sulphate) and nothing else. Is very difficult to have water dripping down your back all morning. It finally dried out so I got the hubby to (much against his will) take some pictures for me!

My hair is pretty wavy all over when it's wet, but as it dries the top layers straighten out, and the bottom ones stay wavy. I took pictures of the top and the bottom for you all :3 also ALMOST WAIST!! :guns:

Hm, I'm not good with the 1's, so take this with a huuuuge grain of salt, but I'd say 1c.

I just had to reply to say you have gorgeous hair.

I'd guess something like 1b/1c as well.

Either way, that is some awesome hair you have :D

Lovely hair!! And you have some wave there ;) I'd say 1c or 1c/2a. :)

Less wavy than me so a 1c again here. You may even be a 1 b. your hair looks fab whatever it's type though and yes waist is annoyingly close!,

I'd put your canopy at 1c, and your underlayer at 1c/2a or 2a. So perhaps 1c/2a overall? :)

Id say your in the 1's and would place you as a 1b/c as your not poker straight! you also de[ite having layers have much thicker hair (or it looks so to me) than a ii, id put you more as a iii

I wouldn't call this 1b at all, I'd put it closer to 1c/2a

Thank you so much everyone for the compliments!

Haha it seems pretty confusing! I have three of you with 1b/c and three others saying 1c/2a

:p

Pick me, pick me. I said 1c. XD

*shrugs* I guess hair typing isn't an exact science. Choose the one you like best! :D

And I'll skip the 1s altogether and put you at 2A. My gut reaction is "wavy," not "straight with a little wave".

I say 1b. Maybe I need to re type myself because I am much wavier than this and I consider myself a 1c but everyone is saying you are a 1c. I am just confused now:confused:

But for lols...my bf HATES taking hair pictures for me.
My last excuse was "can you take a picture of my bun for me?? I CANT see it in the mirror AT ALL I just really really want to see what it looks like!!!!:shudder: <---my face " Then he proceeded to say "Ugh That is F***in' weird! But I guess so."

Hair has to have one or two waves for 1c, which you have at the canopy, and the hair under is wavier, so I agree with 1c/2a.

Piggy votes for 1c (^(oo)^)v

I'd say 1c. I think of myself as 1b and I don't have as much wave as you do, just some body to my hair :)

I'm thinking 1c canopy and 2a underlayer. Your hair looks great, love the colour and texture.

ETA: It could help if you gave us some more information about your hair. Like how does it usually look and feel. Does it get wavier if shorter? And such things. :)

It looks like a 1b/1c.

Hm, I've never really had my hair short. When it was up to my shoulders I was much younger, and it was very straight but as I've gotten older its gone wavy. It usually looks pretty flat on top and then it gets a bit more volume thought the body. It doesn't have much lift on my scalp, much to my disappointment. uhm..? It's soft, and fine but dense (thick) :confused: I'm not sure really what to say lol. I will hold waves and curls from heatless curling methods but if I use an iron one side will be flat by the time I finish the other one, unless I use hair spray :/ but I don't use heat anymore so yeah... That's pretty much all I can think of lol.

My feeling is 2a. I do see wave there, and not just the body waves described in the 1 category.

I am going to vote for 2a, also.

1c/2a. IMHO. That hair looks wavy to me. Not straight.

Thank you all so much! After looking at my hair, what you all have told me here, and several other pictures I've decided to go with 2a for now. I think since my top layers are a bit more straight I can't quite get away with a legit 2a, but I'm hoping now that I know, I might be able to get the top layers to match the bottom!

Now that I've accepted my hair isn't "straight" like I always was told (husband says "your hair has always been wavy" :rolleyes:) maybe I can bring out the waves and be wavy all about. Hm.. *prods hair* I guess now I'll have to start reading about how to treat wavy hair!

Hair typing is so fun! Thank you so much for helping me! And thank you also for all the hair compliments <3 +^-^+
