knee length hair-ed newbie!:p help me figure out my hair type?

[cheystar]

hellooo, lhc. i'm a natural lurker and i'm a little self conscious to start come out from hiding 'cause i feel like i'll stick out! especially since i haven't even been lurking that long. but lhc seems sooo friendly and helpful and therefore more welcoming and accepting. :)


i'm no stranger to having long hair, however! i've been growing for about 7 years now. back then, i noticed everyone around me had APL or shorter, so i decided to grow my shoulder length hair out super long and just be different! plus, i was about to start high school, and i thought it'd be cool to have the longest hair in school. and after 4 years of regrettable, daily flat ironing and very minimal trims, i was at about TBL and definitely had the longest hair by the time i graduated! but along my journey, i was never satisfied with my length, and decided to keep growing. my initial goal was just "really long" (lol), but then it became classic, then mid-thigh, then knee length, which i've recently achieved! but as i've mentioned, i used to heat style my hair every day, which resulted in about a foot of damage... but over the recent few years, i gradually starting tweaking my hair routine and treating my hair a little better by washing it differently and drastically limiting the heat styling. and after the few weeks of lurking i've learned sooo much more! and so i hope to continue to gain more tips and advice and stuffs and maybe share a little every now and then. :)




also, i'd like some help in identifying my hair type? these were all taken after blow drying the roots and air drying the rest on wash day. my routine is pretty consistent, although i don't really document every little thing i do. the variety always throws me off, so i'm not quite sure what i am!
(hopefully the picture comes out right)






and here's a bit closer.

Looks like 2c to me, gorgeous hair! Welcome to the LHC!

Beautiful hair!
I also agree with 2c, based on these pictures.

Welcome to LHC! Your hair is absolutely gorgeous, and I too think you're a 2c.

Holy thud worthy curls! I'm afraid I can't help with typing (mine is stick straight and I am totally curly ignorant) but it looks amazing. Welcome!

[kitschy]

Awesome! I'd say 2c too.

3A. Mine was obviously 2C at shorter lengths but the weight has pulled out all the curl, so you have to have more curl than me. My hair looks about 1C these days. No spirals anymore, just subtle waves.

I've got to go with 3A.
