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

Hey there, the hair type is determined by you new growth and you need at least 1 inch to really determine you natural texture. ------------- http://public.fotki.com/blackhoney112/hair_album/101505_.html - Hair album pw:Romeo |

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.
