Looks vaguely 2c-ish to me. Maybe 3a, IDK. Kinda hard to tell.

Not a great shot I know :(

Is there any way you can post better pictures? It does look 2c/3a to me, but really I can only see one curl decently, and that's not much to type your hair on.

Let's say your hair is 2c/3a, which is my type too. At your length especially, using a comb is going to break up the waves/curls too much, and you'll get frizz. I can use a wide tooth comb at my length without developing too much frizz from it, but when it was shorter it was a whole other ballgame. I'd try fingercombing as much as possible, and use a leave-in for moisture and then some kind of styling product on top of that (gel, or whatever). I don't like gel that much, so I use a pomade (currently Curls Passion Fruit Curl Control Paste) which sounds like it would be waxy but really isn't. It helps to tame down my frizz quite a bit, and softens up my hair.

I generally do a super light oil post WO which tames the frizz. I have learned not to comb out of the shower and my shower combing at this length is just fingers. I'll work on better shots here soon but right now I just have my camera phone so that was the best of 10 :( I am not much of a photographer.

I forgot you were WO, so forget what I said about product! A light oiling should help with the frizzies, or you could try using a little aloe gel. That should wash out easily enough.

I'm not very good at getting decent pics, either, so don't feel bad about it. Since you have dark hair, if you can try to have a light background it should help to show your hair off better. I'd guess that you probably are in the range we suggested, but with a better picture we could confirm that for you. :)

I would say 2c or 2c/3a but I'm not so sure.(I have problems with taking clear pictures of myself too, I mean I've been trying to get a decent picture of my most recent piercing ever since I've got it, but I just can't seem to be able to take one that looks OK).

I vote a provisional 2c/3c, you definitely look like you're occupying the wavy/curly borderlands.

Alright here's a better pic but I think it will confirm your wonderful 2c/3a thoughts.

On the plus side from the back it looks like I've definitely hit mid neck length!
