Any advice/opinion on my hair type and routine? (PICS)

[Snugzee]

Hello ladies!

Ive been diligently browsing through the threads on here since officially deciding to rock my natural hair and do away with heat, drawstring ponytails, etc. I found a lot of helpful advice and tips but I also know a key to caring for curls is knowing your hair type and porosity… as I much as I googled pics I’m undecided if I’m a 3C, 4A, or, 4B . I feel as if I’m a mixture of 4A and 4B but was hoping you all might be a better judge for me. I don’t have much of a set routine yet, I’m still figuring out what my hair likes and doesn’t like. But the products I’m currently using are from the Mielle Pomegrante and Honey line: The Shampoo and Conditioner, I just incorporated the Mint D/C last night (hopefully it turns out well!). I then do the LCO method in a two strand twists using Mielle Pomegranate Leave in, Mielle Twisting Souflee, and then sealing with Silk Elements Pure Oil Jojoba Oil. I stretch my twists using Bobby pins to lay and wrap them around my head, wrap with a silk scarf and bonnet and sleep on a satin pillowcase. I also retwist nightly, I hope all of that sounds like a good routine!
This is my first time posting on here, I’m going to attempt to include pictures
TIA!

Welcome!! You have beautiful curls. I would say you fall within the 3C/4A range. Have you determined your hair porosity?

Thank you! I used to be so awful to my hair, I can’t wait to see if it will take off and flourish. I’m not sure what porosity I have but I think it might be medium. When I wet and apply products it seems to just soak it up. It doesn’t take long to dry, takes color pretty well and stays moisturized so long as I moisturize nightly. I keep saying I’m going to do the strand test with water but it has to be done with clean hair I believe and I always forget to do it on wash day lol

Here’s a picture of the back of my head also. I think they’re a bit tighter then the ones that frame my face

I would say 4a. Retwisting nightly might be too much manipulation. I recommend trying a mousse with good hold in order to keep from having to retwist

Your hair texture looks quite different to me between pics!

I would think the blonde and the latest pic looks mostly 4a.
