What is Oprah's hair type? 4a or 4b

[Mystic]

I am trying to figure out what my hair type is. I used Oprah as an example because we all know her. She has very strong and thick Type 4 hair. If her type is A then mine must be B or vice versa. My hair is not very thin but it is definitely not Oprah's hair texture neither. Please advise.

Her hair dresser (Andre Walker) says she has 4A hair, and that most of the time she sports her own hair. 4 A holds moisture better and is more of an S pattern. 4B, which is me, is a tight Z and is much drier.

I believe O is a a type 4b. When your hair is wet does it wave in a Z pattern or an S pattern? If you have the Z pattern then your a 4b if you have the S then 4a. SOme people have a combination of 4a/b or even 3c/4a/4b.

Is your hair relaxed or natural. You're in the 4 category, but if you have a relaxer or texturizer it'll be hard to tell if it's A or B.

Thanks Crysdon. I am relaxed so I guess I won't be able to tell then.

It is a little hard to tell but I was looking at your photo with the afro puff and it looks like your probably a 4a/b. I say this because the back of your hair has little Os (by nape) and the front has a slight Z wave. It's completely normal and a lot of members here, including myself have a 4a/b combo. YOu can look thru my album and see...I'm definately a 4a/b no doubt about it! Go to www.fotki.com/nubian7 my password is hair.
