    I see you're a 2a, that's interesting. Thanks!

    I think some of the wave at the top might be just caused by moving your head throughout the day

    ^ Yeah, I have no real interest in attempting to style it because it lives in buns and it airdries overnight (except for hairtyping pics) but thank you for the suggestion LadyCelestina If I'd discovered LHC a couple of years earlier I probably would have investigated styling and leave-ins, etc. I think some form of plopping would be the most feasible thing to try should I wish to experiment, but we had a discussion in another thread a while ago about attempting to use stylers in longer-than-your-arms hair and I just couldn't get my head around it

    For me that's a no-go.
    WCC method (washing) --- Rinse-out oil (MO) --- LOC/LCO method (styling)

    Very pretty waves MusicalSpoons Those definitely look like 2a waves at the ends. I know some people say their waves don’t come out until waist length, for example. I don’t know whether they choose a looser pattern for the top in those circumstances or type the whole length together.

    I think you could legitimately type yourself 2a, or 1c/2a.

    Thank you


    I've had 1c/2a and 2a mentioned elsewhere too, and after mulling it over I think I'll go with 1c/2a. I'm truly shocked to even end up anywhere near the 2s, let alone having one foot in them

    Who knows what the next 6-12 months will bring?!

    (The end waves are completely natural; I made sure to sit up with my hair hanging off the seats throughout the day so the seat surface didn't act like slight plopping and distort the result.) Some things really don't change though - the frizz game is still going strong

    Fancy finding waves and a hair twin at the same time! (Autocorrect changed that to hairy win...quite apt!)

    There’s a striking resemblance, both beautiful
