Hair type

[Hairroots]

Hello all, ok I'm a newbie. How do I figure out my hair type? I think I'm a 2a.

 

[Hairroots]

I was wrong. I'm 3b not 2a!

 

[Foxglove]

You look like you'd be in the 4a range
ETA from the roots

I can't determine your hair type from the picture provided. Your hair has been manipulated and styled.

 

[AHeadOfCoils]

Based on the space between your waves, it looks like you are a type 4.

 

[Hairroots]

I believe you ladies are dead on it with type 4. Thank you so much. I appreciate it. I relax my hair about every 8-10 weeks so it's really hard to determine my hair type. I think i'm going to try and stretch a few weeks longer.

 

[diadall]

I think if you relax its hard to determine hair type.

 

[Hairroots]

I know, but did you look at the attachment shot? I tried to show my new growth!

 

[Hairroots]

Right! I have been relaxed for over 20 years so it's really hard for me to tell my hair type.

Most times with relaxed hair you will not know your true hair type until all of the relaxed hair has been cut off. Even with tons of new growth the relaxed hair and weight of it will change what your actually type looks like.

even if you stretch it still may not be clear, scab hair can stick around even a year.

I second these ladies

Thanks ladies for all of your valuable information. After further research I can truly say my hair type is 4.

Ladies can I have some help pretty please my curl pattern has changed recently and i cannot really determine what type I am. - My hair before was real really kinky - il see if i can find some pictures later of my hair before without product. I dnt mean to hijack thread but i didnt wana start a new one- theres already a few floating around

i cant really put my finger on why i have such a big texture change it may be that my hair is getting longer and has more hang or it could be the msm or biotin, sulphur that i have in my regi. i know a lot of ladies have reported some texture change ?? ahh i duno

the pics are of my hair freshly washed and not detangled as you can probably tell pic 1 is freshly washed, pic 2 is freshly washed aswell (both untangled) pic 3 is with product onyou ca tell its a bit looser

sorry if they come up big


TIA

You look like 4b. Or maybe 4a/4b.

Imma say 4a/4b too. That's some good definition

 

[Tiye]

I was wrong. I'm 3b not 2a!

If the wavy texture at your roots is unprocessed new growth then I think 3b might be right.

There are picture threads on this board for each hair type. If you search for them you can get a better idea of which one is closer to your hair. And remember this is not an exact science.
