bumping because its awesome!
“insert” 4a pics here ↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓

here are mine. i used to think i was a 4 a/b mix...but now i'm sure i'm a solid 4a.
cowashed, no product (i had gel in it the day b4, so maybe some left over)
heat damage by my ears
with gel
shrinkage (about 50%)
1st time seeing if my hair would fit in one ponytail
wet hair from 2009- my natural hair color as well
unlike a lot of 4a's, my curlies do not clump and they refuse to be defined by any product. the best i can do is having cute, curly ends while the roots are always a fuzzy mess. my hair also, does not form waves.

I see your siggy as well. Great progress Poobear. I remember your chop from the beginning. We are hair twins and I'm definitely encouraged now.

My NG looks JUST like that! I know everybody's hair type is beautiful, but I'm truly in love with 4a hair.

i have finally found my hair twin! you are a true 4a!
I'm a 4a!!!!
NO PRODUCT/UN-MANIPULATED HAIR-FRESHLY WASHED (DAMP)
WASH N GO-LITERALLY
SHINGLED-MANIPULATED WITH LOTS OF GEL & DIFFUSED WITH BLOW-DRYER
3 WEEK OLD TWISTS
I was told that I am a 4a silky, but I disagree...there's nothing "silky" about my hair texture at all...Is it soft?? yes, very...silky?? nope. And I still love it...Just take a look at my no-product, unmanipulated pics (first two) and you can CLEARLY see that its no where near "silky"...I would describe my hair as fine/very dense/4a...

there are only a few ladies in here with full 4a hair type. the rest need to go to the 3c/4a thread. it's throwing a lot of folks off.

lmbo girl idk what I am! I just claim 4a because my hair is kinky. We can be hair buddies if you want but I wouldn't worry too much about what "Type" you are. Just go by pics and find whose hair looks/behaves like yours. Then when people start kicking you out of the hair typing threads then I guess you gotta go lol

@lafemmenaturelle.. when do you plan on chopping? i'm ready to be #team natural..never thought in a million years I would transition successfully..but my first goal was to transition and i did that successfully my next goal is to make it to 2 years and my last goal is chop @ 27 -29 months depending on the length

I have no idea I'm just living life lol Most days I want to transition until I'm natural and just trim whatever's necessary each time I straighten (I'm guessing that will be another 2 years). Other days (like yesterday) I want to chop immediately after my brother's wedding in April.....just because....so I honestly don't know what I'll do. Just taking it day by day.

HI!!!!! My name is Jess and I am a 4A (I have 4B on the sides by my ears, but not enough...right? lol DON'T MAKE ME LEAVE!!!! LOL) Here are my pics, I just BC'd in Sept. 2010 and I have maybe 1.5"-2" of hair all around? Or less, IDK...okay here we go:
October 2010 Wash n' Go
Top of my hair November 2010
Side of my hair November 2010
Side of my hair December 2010
Freshly washed December 2010
OKAY, here is a gripe: is anybody else's hair so soft it is naturally frizzy? Like my hair is maaaaad soft (not bragging, it is really soft, no matter what state it's in) and it is so soft it's frizzy, even when it's wet it's frizzy, my 4A sisters, is that normal or an indication of something: like porosity issues or a messed protein/moisture balance? IDK, but if my hair wasn't frizzy ALL THE TIME I would love it, I just like it now (lol)

My hair is naturally frizzy too. I've tried different products that are supposed to "tame" the frizzies, but I think a little frizz just goes with the territory. Unless someone knows of some secret product out there (besides KCC- I'm not a fan of wet hair in the winter).
Anyone???

Yea me too girl, I HATE the frizzies!!!!! I just hate them!
I haven't tried KCC; I might try it if my hair gets longer.
