@aquajoyice - lol, thanks. I'm just confused.. 'tis all. Don't worry I'm not having a panic attack.
I should have posted these pics in the OP.
I think it's much clearer here that I have diff patches.
@Poohbear@Damaged but not out - I am honestly confused, otherwise, I wouldn't have started the thread. I understand people have given me answers but when I go over to here -----> http://www.naturallycurly.com/curltalk/3b/45514-post-your-3b-pics.html
I don't think my hair will look like that as it gets longer. I GUESS my hair is a ''cottony'' 3b. I didn't think you could have that. I see more people with the 'cottony'' type of hair in the 3c category. Hence, my confusion.

@DejaVu2,
Pretty curls but there's STILL NO TYPE 4 PATTERN IN YOUR HAIR!!!!
Why can't you accept Type 3B?
And that naturally curly link you posted, those women looked to be Type 2A, 2B, and just a few 3A to me.

I definitely understand your frustration Now with these pics I definitely see a little 3C in there but majority is 3C. It's tough because I have patches where the texture changes. This is the draw back of hair typing, but on a positive note we're all here to support you in your journey
Lmao
I said I think I'm 3b/3c.
I've never claimed 4a (check the poll). I said I believed my hair was 4a when I was younger 'tis all. But now I know it was just the case of mamma brushing out my curls.
I'm confused, and going to let this go, now.
I think knowing how to take care of your hair is important and knowing characteristics of your hair is very helpful. Because I am chocolate colored, I believed my hair was what people label 4b/c. For years, I did damage to my hair taking care of it wrong. Knowing the characteristics (ok, call it a type if you want), made me start taking care of it better. So, yes, sometimes "hair typing" or categorizing is helpful.Ain't no way in HEYALL you are a type 4 anything.
Really, you can get mad if you want, your choice...but hair typing serves zero purpose. So if you don't know your hairtype, you aren't going to suffer some big consequence as a result. True story. I honestly wished it was never invented in the first place.

True, it's not the end all and be all, but we are members of this forum for hair care and different types of hair are a fact of biological life.
