    Default Hairtype help

    I've guessed at my hairtype, but never actually taken a hairtyping photo. So, without further ado:



    I washed my hair with lush's 'Rehab' shampoo, then used Aussie 3MM and coconut oil (I also oiled heavily the night before). As for touching: I squeezed all the water out, and I tipped my head over to wrap my hair in a towel for a couple of minutes while I got dressed, plus a little idle fingercombing but not much. Other than that, I left it alone.

    What's your opinion?

    Looks like definitely more than a 1c, but it cannot be truly judged until it is left to dry with absolutely NO manipulation whatsoever.

    You've got definite waves further down, but less up by your head. I suspect your listed 2a/2b is probably about right, if not a solid 2b.

    It's very pretty, I would say 2a/2b.

    Pretty waves, I'd say 2b/2c too.

    Pretty hair... your waves look more formed and even than mine and I put myself at 2a/2b so I'd definitely say you're a 2b solid, if not a c... I'm not expert at this though and could even have my own hair type, typed wrong.

    Changing my opinion to a solid 2b.

    We're almost exactly the same texture; though your waves have a different shape to them than mine do; I think 2b is a good estimate also, though I say 2a/2b for myself because it does vary a lot.
