One good way to find out is to take a strand of hair from your nape, crown & sides. If the hair strand is barely noticeable, you have fine hair. If it is thick, think the thickness of a frayed piece of thread, you have coarse hair. If it is in between, you have medium textured hair. A great site to find out more and how to identify your hair's density, elasticity and porosity is livefreelivecurly.com. She used to post often on CurlyNikki's site. Her name is Tiffany Anderson.

I would say a mixture of 3c and 4a. 3C is curly and your hair looks coily. 4a is small and yours look big. So your coil is a 4a, but too big too classify as 4a, and they don't look like curls to me, so i say somwhere between 3c and 4a

Thank you ladies Very Happy

I''m gonna stick with this ^^... the only reason why I asked was because I was trying to buy some products that I DON"T NEED lol and they sell it base on your hair type. Good thing I also join the PJ rehab challange on here and won't be buying anything for a while.

I'm a PJ Embarassed
on the second picture to the right which is the most recent one, I was refreshing a 3 day old pony tail ( I can barely do 1); so I used Shea Mouisture styling milk to refresh it.

On the bottom picture I used MJ Curly Meringue that was the only time I used it I swapped it after that.
