Curl Fuzz Frizz...I dunno what this is!

Hi Everyone! Leah here...

Just wanted to put a few words in about my hair type, just in case you all were wondering.

We hope that you all will benefit from all three of us, but we also understand everyone has a different hair type. It was kinda the whole purpose of our blog, to be able to share stories, tips, etc. from different hair type perspectives. There's a lot of styles and products that all three of us use, and then there may be a few things that is more "type" specific. So with that said, here's my spill.

I have no idea what my hair type is!! :) With that said, if i had to look at a chart or something, I would guess I ranged from 3c to 4a.

The back (which i like to call curly baby hairs) is my favorite part of my head. This would probably be reason number 3 that I normally wear my hair "half up." This area tends to curl very pretty, in a perfect 's' shape. If i had to guess, id say its probably 3c in these parts. This area also stays moisturized. It would look good with no product all at! If i could transplant this hair to the rest of my head, I definitely would. I'll probably do a study on this one day (just kidding), but I'm going to say this area is the best because it has less exposure to products (we usually miss the area), sunlight (swear it causes damage), and less frying! We usually don't care about how the curly baby hair area looks if we have our hair down. No one is going to see it!

On to the middle... The middle of my head is a mess! For some reason, this area is sooo frizzy. No matter what I do, it frizzes. Or is that just fuzz??? I dunno, but i hate this area of my head. I'm going to call this area 4a. But wait! No offense to the 4a folks out there!! I think the culprit of the frizz is definitely head related, mixed with a little "can't figure out what to do with it." I usually have to put lots of product in this area, and if I'm going for the twist out, i have to put smaller twists here. If I'm doing the wash and go, this area won't dry for a day at least. And when it does, it may not look like the rest of my head. This is reason number 2 I usually go for the "half up" style.

So what is reason number one you ask.....????

Let me first say, i really like the left side of my hair. It has really nice curls, probably a mixture of 3c and 4a. It holds moisture very well. I don't need to do a lot of manipulation in this area.

OK, yes i was trying to "hit em with the flex" But check out those left side curls! Bangin!

However, the right side of my hair is by far my least favorite and number 1 reason why I usually wear my hair half up. This part of my hair does not curl. If i do a wash and go, you may notice this side to be hanging a little longer than anywhere else. If i do a twist out, this side usually gets pinned back because it didn't work. This side is probably at the 3a range do to the lack of curl. However, I think i may have discovered the reason behind this and would like you to check back for my post called "straight front."

Me and niece Maia. Look at the lack of curl on my right side. Pitiful!

So in summary, my hair as most, is a mixture of different types. I call them 3c and 4a, but could be completely wrong about this. My hair doesn't really look dry unless I just got out of a pool or shampooed and didn't use conditioner. It has a pretty natural sheen. My hair grows pretty fast, and is a nice thickness. I'm not tender headed and I don't tend to have much breakage. I've only had long hair, so I'm not sure how my curls would look with a cut, but we may find out one of these day. I have lots of shrinkage, (bra strap to shoulders) when curly.

With this type of hair, I think the sky is the limit. You can pretty much try anything.
