This is my naked hair! My crown and the back are 3c. The front of my hair does not spiral, it is more of an S shape (which get on my nerves)

I think... It's a little more wavy at the very top back of my head and a little more tightly curled at my nape. But I think this where I mostly belong. 
One dry no product, one wet no product, one "wash and go" dry with product.

NICE BLOG...click to Read stolen from Boujoichic
Im currently doing some research on hair typing because I had previously gotten so much mixed information. I knew that it should be much simpler than some make it seem. I have since searched around the hair boards and the internet and found some information that made typing easy. First off I found that hair typing Andre's system is based purely on curl size it does not take into account texture, density, or porosity. I also have found some curl size comparisons that make finding your type easy.
3A are very large curls like sidewalk chalk. 3B would be like chalk (regular chalkboard chalk) to sharpie marker sized.
3C curls tend to be pencil size (or a little larger) to drinking straw sized.
4A would be around chopstick to coffee stirrer size (can also show as tight S shaped waves).
4B coils are very small and will not clump without product or manipulation in most cases Can look like cloud of little pin spring coils.
Also typing is best done dry hair with no product no manipulation with wet hair the curls are looser and stretched out by the water.
I will be adding to this as I find more information

I do stretch my curls a bit with brushing in the products, so I think it make my hair look a lil 3b in this pic.

Offend?
3c seems right I guess. I feel like lookin at some of the pics here that my curls may be tighter than theirs but I guess there's a range to 3c?
I'm no good at hair typing.
And it doesn't help that I get different "diagnoses" on different photos.

It may just be the pic, but that image looks more 4a (so maybe a combo?)

My hair in my sig.
The earlier pic was before I BC'd... my tightest curls are small section at the nape. And they are pencil-sized back there. I don't have any coffee stirrer curls.
I fixed the old post with three new pics. Like I said the last one was before I'd BC'd.
That said. If I'm 4A, then 4A must be the prettiest curls evah! If I'm 4B... then THEY are the prettiest curls.

Whimsy I've seen some people get VERY offended when you tell them that they're 3C not 4A. I'm talking they will sit there and type three paragraphs of why you're crazy and they're right
Like for example @wavezncurlz is not 3C but she insists on being 3C because she knows us 3C curls are cool as hayel!
I'm kidding wavezncurlz don't keel me! but seriously you're 3B

hopefully it's just a fun little game of finding hair twins
I need to find mine again, hair twins sometimes save you time and money on products that suck on our hair

This was great information. I found the information in curly girl hand book by lorraine massey was very helpful to me. she does not use 1-4 typing. but too much typing to explain the names and types.. unless someone is really interested.
