Hair typing - Has mine changed?

[Sarahlabyrinth]

I have been pondering my hair type ever since the San Francisco meet last weekend. Trolleypup's hair looks pretty similar to mine and his is classed as 2a. When I first joined LHC my hair was wavier than it is now and I called it 2b. It seems that the increased length has relaxed the waviness. So should I keep calling it 2b because that's what it started out as, or 2a because it seems to look more that way now? Thoughts on this, please....

Dried, untouched after washing:



Combed:



And brushed:

Looks like braidwaves, so I'd say it's still 2b. (Very love texture, BTW!)

I immediately thought 2b when I saw pic1; and that's what your profile says. So I don't think it has changed, no.

Ok, thanks guys

I'll hop on the 2b wagon here. You look classically 2b. I am 2b as well... At least I think I still am. I don't think I've ever let my hair dry 100% naturally since moving out of my parents' house, haha. I do think I'll have to come to terms with my strand typing classification differing from what I thought. I always assumed I was m because it's so thick usually, but now that I'm actually paying attention to individual strands rather than the hair on a whole, I have plenty of very fine hairs. I guess I'm just trying to say our texture, thickness, and coarseness can change over time. Don't sweat it too much, just enjoy your hair
