What level is your natural hair

[Bat]

Since there's a bit of discussion about levels I thought id so this may be people can post a photo of their hair and what level they are to give some of us curious about it a guide to levels and what they can look like

What a fun idea, Bat. I've dug up a few from before I used henna. I think I'm a level 5.

You're a 6. Your hair is beautiful.

Oh looks. Nice! I always thought mine was a 5 as a kid

I'm not sure with this one I think it's a 5 too

Here I am

My hair roots are so dark (2-3?) that it almost always looks "blue" under cold lighting. It’s funny because in Chinese, black hair is actually called "blue silk thread", we think blue is the darkest form of black hair. Just like how you mix indigo and henna to get darker hair.
Under warm lighting, my hair is just very inky:



The hair ends (3-4) are obviously much lighter due to sun exposure and my lemon juice experiment, here’s a bun drop from last year:

My hair care routine has changed a lot since then, I grew about 20cm a year, here is a bun drop from yesterday:

Also, I used to apply daily henna oil but the orange tone doesn’t really show up indoor unless I use a black backdrop and a light in front of me:

I love that! "blue silk thread" is a gorgeous phrase. Also, I'm just now learning about henna oil. Do you mix the oil with something to get the orange tint? And is henna oil very heavy or light?

There is a henna oil thread but it's archived ATM

Beautiful and detailed as always!

Cool thread idea Bat, for me 6-7 on most colour charts if I had to guess.

That looks close to my hair just more blonde.

Bat It's hard to tell but yours looks a bit darker than mine.

Would Tuanyiji's be a one or a two?

More 7 than 6 I think, so pretty 😍
