Newbie Transitioner: Confused on my Natural Hair Type

[TPayne75]

Hello Ladies,

When I first joined back in March I had asked if anyone can help me figure out what my natural hair type is. I only had maybe less than an inch of new growth at that time which wasn't helpful. Since then I've decided to go NATURAL!!!! I've been relaxing my hair for at least 20 yrs. Before I decided to grow out my perm I was loving the waviness of my new growth. This made me curious to see what the true texture of my hair is like after all these years. It's been 4 months since my last relaxer and I have almost 3 inches of new growth. From what I've been reading I'm not sure what category my hair type fits into.
I don't know if I'm a 2 B or C? or would I be in the 3 range? My natural hair is rather wavy and raises away from my scalp.
I definately can see the "S" pattern. At this time I'm fighting to stop the extreme frizzies around the front of my head! I'm going to post a few pics to my album so you gals can see my hair. Please Help!

PS any advise on how to control the frizzies would be greatly appreciated

You won't know your natural texture until you cut. The weight of the relaxed hair can stretch the new growth, making it seems wavier/looser than it really is.

Trust, my NG was waves too, until I chopped.

ETA: From your fotki, you might be a 4A. But I'm no expert.

Won't know until you chop. But if it's growing away from your scalp, that's probably not type 2!

I can't tell from the pics, but I think all textures are gorgeous. So I'm telling U that your texture is type gorgeous.
