As I said my hair texture is a 4b/c but mostly 4/c. Now that my hair is getting healthier and healthier and I've learned that patience goes a long way. I have also discovered more and more 4b coils in my hair. I've always had like 4 coils at different places in my hair but maybe my hair is 4b and not 4b/c.. Maybe my hair is just dry 4b hair :/
Wether my hair is 4b or 4b/c doesn't really matter to me as long as it is healthy and my hair actually shines by itself with no products in it! (*fierce*).
Yes it is normal to have more than one hair texture on your head. But to able to identify the different hair textures that sometimes look a like we will take a closer look at them while still keeping it easy.
Type 1: Straight
A:
- Fine/ thin
- Very soft & shiny
B:
- Medium
- Voluminous
C:
- Coarse
- Bone straight
Type 2: Wavy
A:
- Fine/thin
- The hair texture is like an S.
B:
- Medium
- Frizzy
C:
- Coarse
- Tends to be resistent to styling.
- Very frizzy but has thicker waves.
Type 3: Curly
A:
- Loose curls
- Thick & full
- Frizzy
B:
- Tight curls
- Combined textures but mostly curls.
Type 4: Kinky
A:
- Soft
- Very fragile as all type 4 hair textures.
- Tight coils
- Curl pattern
B:
- Wiry
- Very fragile as all type 4 hair textures.
- Tight coils but less curls than 4A.
Note that 3C and 4C isn't on this list but they do exist if you ask me. I would say that the subcathegory C is frizzier and has a looser to no curl pattern.
The hair texture chart could be described in many ways depending on the thickness, feel and appearence of the hair.
