    Default Hair Typing Help, Please!

    I know that my hair is Fine and at a ii for my ponytail...but I am so confused for my first classifier, now! I always thought my hair was super straight...guess not. FYI, my hair length has been dyed (eek) and it also has layers that I'm growing out. This is my first official time doing the "wash, condition, leave it alone" experiment. Help please?

    I followed this article: http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/...&articleid=164
    so I assumed it was okay. Everything was cone-free and I rinsed really well.

    2a. Your waves are loose and stretched out, not tighter like braid waves.

    I agree with 2a ... it looks like loose waves with a defined pattern. To me 2b would look like tighter waves with a defined pattern.

    I'm sorry, the article does say condition. I'm not sure which one I read that said we shouldn't. I do stick with 2b though, the waves are not stretched out enough for 2a. If I do two pigtails, I have waves like yours. Very pretty. 2a is not so "full of waves" like that.

    I would say 2a/2b. Haha I can't decide between the two.
