I don't think there's really a regimen for a type. There are many of us whose hair doesn't like a lot of products that other 4B's hair likes, so no need to make up a category for po' li'l got-no-family-lonely you.
@Mostamazing, you probably are 4a/b. I don't really know much about 4a/b. Your hair looks stretched too so that does make it hard to say. More photos showing your hair unmanipulated, bare, after a wash would help.
oh, i thought that was the whole point of hair typing?

My hair is a 4a/b mix all over, but i would say my crown is strictly 4b. I have one pic of my crown with conditioner in. the first one is of my hair dry with no product, the second is of my hair damp.
I am currently 6 months post and transitioning to natural.

also, i have bipolar hair. My nape and perimeter are very loosely curled and sparse... I've been struggling to thicken this area up for years and it seems like its spreading
Hey beana- I have the same "problem" in the same small section of my hair. The only difference is that my section is denser/thicker, so the difference in textures is not as apparent.
Henna has helped to thicken it even more, "clump" it, and strengthen those weaker feeling strands. Have you looked into henna?

Thanks for the advice! I have not looked into henna, but i will do research and try it out. Do you recommend any specific brands/vendors? Some of my individual strands are so thin back there, you can barely separate them or see them on their own.
I thought that transitioning to natural would thicken that area up and so far its not working. I'm still moving full speed ahead with my transition, but im disppointed im not gaining the thickness I thought I would.

I use the "Jamila" brand of Body Art Quality Henna ("BAQ"). BAQ is the only type of henna that's safe to use on hair. Since you don't want ur curls to loosen any more than they already are, you should add alma to your henna mix. There are a couple of popular henna threads on the board you can research for recipe ideas.

OMG all these photos are so inspiring. I think I'm mostly a 4B and looking at the photos in this thread, I'm inspired to work with my hair in it's natural state (meaning I'm trying to hold off on doing another BKT) to see I can get a puff so nice and full like a lot of you.
I applied henna for the 1st time last night and will do another co-wash today and take photos. The ends are straighter than the roots thanks to past BKT treatments.
