Can someone please tell me my hair type, I am having a difficult time determining. I have relaxer treated/somewhat flat ironed hair. My last relaxer was Dec. '06 and I flat ironed last weekend. If you need to know anything else let me know.

If I show pics of my hair without it being flat-ironed would that be better?

 
Here is my after washing it
 
 
 
 
My hair dry after washing without blow drying or flat-ironing, no heat
 
 
 
 
I think I'm leaning towards me being a 4a

Hey there, the hair type is determined by you new growth and you need at least 1 inch to really determine you natural texture.

If you find other ppl with your hair type you can see what products/techniques work for them and you can apply it to your hair.

That was very helpful.  I am a 4B.  My daughter is a 4a.
 
Now the question is what products works best with this hair type?
 
Thanks girl
