Interesting thread!
Momma is 3bish with silky, defined curls. My brother definitely has her hair. Grrrr!
^^Her hair reminds me of a jeri curl - very high shine/sheen (but 100% natural)
My Dad (although balding) is probably 4b.
I'm a combo of both (looks and all)!!!! I have spongy, easily retains moisture, kinda silky but definitely coarse/kinky 4a/b. If that makes any sense. Not sure I even understand ---> Hense my siggy!
I also know my hair is fragile and breaks easily, which I definitely get from my mom. I see alot of 4a's/4b's with super THICK strands that seem like they can withstand anything. Unfortunately, not me
