Hair Classification (again)

[LovinLocks]

Just over at BJ's sale (love that Vatika Frosting) and peeped the hair classifier list. Going by it I think I would change from my current classification of 3b/3c to 2b/2c, check it out:

(snaps, I have a typo, "Does our hair classification system resemble the one at Hairveda (see below)" I meant to type does "your", not "our" )

FIRST CLASSIFIER: Your curliness (or lack thereof)​

The wavy ones

• 2a – loose, stretched out S-waves throughout the hair
• 2b – shorter, more distinct S-waves (similar to waves from braiding damp hair)
• 2c – distinct S-waves and the odd spiral curl forming here and there

The curly ones

• 3a – big, loose spiral curls
• 3b – bouncy ringlets
• 3c – tight corkscrews

The really curly ones

• 4a – tightly coiled S-curls
• 4b – tightly coiled hair bending in sharp angles (Z-pattern)

Looking at this again, maybe I'm a 3a (can't seem identify with a 2-anything hairwise guess 'cause of previous learning). Does the list you use to classify hair resemble the one at Hairveda?

I don't like this type of hair typing system. Because I classify myself as a 3c/4a, yet on this system I would classify as 2c/2b. I have S curls all over. But type 2 hair primarily belongs to a totally different ethnicity.

 

[LovinLocks]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too (about the totally different ethnicity).

What is a tightly coiled s curl? Aren't s curls and coils different? Don't all coils stretch out to an s curl, even if they aren't tight? I just confused myself lol.

Nope and what the heck is the difference between a z pattern and an s pattern anyway? I have coils and s curls all over so I don't know what the heck this would categorize me as...I may even have Zs if I knew what they were. "Zs" and "Ss" are exactly the same to me! I've NEVER seen anyones hair stick out sharply and then bend in a different direction like a z......
