Thanks for helping, I keep changing my mind.
HairColoredHair February 16th, 2007, 12:06 PM Personally I'd say more than a 1... maybe 2a? I'm not very good at this. :(
Juliet's Silk February 16th, 2007, 12:18 PM I'd say 2a as well. Especially that the wave was still there after combing makes me think it's 2a, 1c waves tend to be more fragile (and not as pronounced). That's really very wavy...
talullah February 16th, 2007, 12:19 PM I think 2a, too.
Ebonygurl00 February 16th, 2007, 12:27 PM I think it's 2a, also. Very beautiful hair, btw!
freznow February 16th, 2007, 12:29 PM If that were a 1b I'd be like a 0b or something! So yeah I'm going with 2a as well :)
mahogany21 February 16th, 2007, 12:40 PM I say go the 2a. Majority seems to think so. Nice hair, by the by :) Shiny and blonde.
icydove February 16th, 2007, 01:55 PM I'll be the freak and say 1c. However, it may shift to 2a as your hair gets a little longer.
PatGear February 16th, 2007, 02:23 PM Hey! Your hair looks like mine (just in the texture, not color). The no-touch picture looks like 2a and the combed one looks like 1c. That's why I put down mine as 1c/2a, but I think we're really supposed to use the no-touch hair for typing, so I guess we're both 2a. The thing is, I don't feel right putting that down because most of the time my hair looks like your 2nd picture, which I think is a 1c.
lakerat February 16th, 2007, 02:28 PM I'd say go with 2a as well, because I consider myself a 1a and I am wayyyy straighter than you. You have very nice waves by the way!:)
Feng-Shui February 16th, 2007, 02:29 PM I think you am type 2a.
Feng-Shui:)
Xanthippe February 16th, 2007, 04:10 PM I said 2a based on your untouched pic. I think it has too much of a natural wave to be a 1.
Moezland February 16th, 2007, 04:20 PM Ok, I'm so bad at this - will leave the real advice to the experts - just wanted to say, your hair is very pretty!:flower:
Soraya February 16th, 2007, 10:27 PM It's definitely a 2, and I'd actually say 2a/2b. I voted for 2b - wow, I feel like an outsider now ;)
paradoxx February 16th, 2007, 10:36 PM I would say 2A as well. It is pretty wavy. I think you might have to retype it as it gets longer though...
Kyamo February 17th, 2007, 05:09 AM Thanks for the help everyone - I'll go switch my profile!
Niphredil February 17th, 2007, 05:32 AM Hmm, I would go for 1c.
I think that type-2's in general have a more 'rougher' appearance or structure. Your hair looks too smooth for me to type it 2a.
Although it has definitely some wave to it, I think that they are also accentuated by and more pronounced because of the layers.
It is likely that the look will change once your hair gets longer and more one-length (assuming that you are aiming towards that).
It is really hard to tell from pictures alone.
Go with what you feel most likely. Maybe check the photo's of other 1c and 2a types to see if you find similarities with your own hair !
CryssieWillow February 17th, 2007, 06:07 AM Hmn... that almost looks like my wave but you have more fine hair!
You have really pretty hair.
As for the type I kinda agree with Niph.
To me you do not look like a classical 2a, but not really like a 1c either. I would type you as a 1c/2a. You have a wavepattern. Not really defined but your hair is wavy enough to not qualify it as a 1. But it will be difficult to say exactly until it gets longer.
I hope that makes sense....
I kinda had the same problem as to not knowing what my hair really is.
The pics in my sig are a good example. The left one is my natural wave and it will stay in if I do not touch my hair as it dries. But I can get rid of the wave my combing wet, the pic on the right. But if I look at the strands with straight hair I can still make out spirally waves. It just is not really defined.
Hope that Helps... :)
dearladydisdain February 17th, 2007, 06:51 AM I would say 2a...maaaybe 1c/2a.
Kyamo February 17th, 2007, 11:43 AM Hmn... that almost looks like my wave but you have more fine hair!
Fine hair? How can you tell from a picture? I've been wondering about that part of the hairtype as well, but I don't think my hair is fine at all?
CryssieWillow February 17th, 2007, 12:44 PM Ow...
Well I kinda look at the way the light is reflected and if I can make out individual strands. Your hair looks really soft, almost like children's hair. Judging from the photo's I defenitely think you're a F. If you're a M, then I'm a C and with my hair that will not fly.
But that's my opinion, I might be wrong.
You can test it a bit with the way your hair feels to the touch and how it looks against the light. Roll an individual strand between your fingers, how does it feel, etc...
Katze February 18th, 2007, 05:05 AM I don't know, because my hair looks very similar and I have the same question!
But I would agree that your hair looks finer than pure "M" - still, I am not there to touch it, what would I know? :P
very pretty shine, wave, color.
Kyamo February 18th, 2007, 05:13 AM You can test it a bit with the way your hair feels to the touch and how it looks against the light. Roll an individual strand between your fingers, how does it feel, etc...
Yeah, I have done that, which is why I didn't think I was an F, but I could be wrong I guess. Even with the light colour I can clearly see each strand, and feel an individual strand rolling between my fingers like a piece of thread.
