To be honest most people have multiple (at least 2) different hair textures/curl patterns on their head. So generally speaking most 3c or 4a people probably just have 3c/4a type hair, just like myself 😂

They aren't at all

The first woman’s curl pattern is predominantly 3b and 3c secondary. Most of her curls are looser than a 3c curl, which are more ringlets. The second example is predominantly 3c curl pattern with maybe 4a. If she were to style her hair with gel her curl pattern would show a bit tighter and similar to the first.

She’s wrong with the curl pattern and many times we have more then 1 texture also if you bleach your hair it does change your curl pattern

Fr I have 4c hair but the back is a whole different hair texture

First girl was def 3A-3B. How you tell is by size, girth and rotation count. Size = Width (toothpick, pen, sharpie size etc) Girth = how thick the actual hair bunched together to form the circular pattern is. Think how curling irons come in different sizes for bigger or smaller curls - their girth. Rotation Count = How many times the strand completes a full circle before starting a new curl. Think a slinky, how you can count its connected rings. I have 3 textures in my hair, 3C (bottom), 4A (middle), 4B (top) This is the "heart" afro shape, iconic of natural multi-textures that have 3+ types. How to tell 3C vs 4A Get a BIC Round Stic M pen - the basic pen you see everywhere and is great for chewing 😂 1.) 3C curls are the EXACT circumference of a BIC Round Stic Pen, with a corkscrew twist like a wine opener. The curl is so accurate to this pen's size, that your 3C hair will hold the pen when you let go if you stick it in high enough. Perfect fit. The 1st girl in video is 3B at the thickest; do you think the BIC pen would stay or slip out in her hair? Its too small. 2.) Girth - 3C curls have a girth of like 20-25 strands. The 3B curls have 35-45 giving the signature bigger "ringlet" look. I would have to combine 2 of my 3C curls to get it as girthy as hers. 3.) Rotation Count The looser your curls, the less rotations your strands can make. 3B if you count is about 3-4 rotations per inch. (Big 1" long slinky) 3C hair is about 5-6 (Med 1" long slinky) 4A hair is about 8-9 (Med-Sm 1" long slinky) 4B hair is about 10-12 (Sm 1" long slinky) 4C is 12+ so many dense rotations its hard to count but you can clearly see a LOT, 😅 (XS 1" long slinky) Rotation count is the easiest way to tell what your texture is, because its based off the actual follicle. Looser patterns = more circular follicles and less rotations. Kinkier patterns = oval (AF) follicles and more rotations in the hair strands. 😊

Because my curls are damaged from years of mistreatment (I’m curl training to fix that issue), my hair used to be usually full head of 3b.

I can pull on them, do anything and they stay there

I’ve noticed that it’s rare to find someone with pure 4a curls like Naptural85. Most ppl with 4a hair like myself are either 4a leaning 4b (kaice alea) or 4a leaning 3c (Hazel Goddess). Megan’s hair to me looks to be 3c leaning 4a I’ve seen a lot of videos of Megan’s hair. While 3c & 4a can look pretty similar at times they are very different. Especially when wet. 4a hair still has its spongy texture while drip & wet. 3c hair kindof loses its spongy-ness while drip & wet. Just my opinion.

hands down the most confused hairtypes

@paulinebaylock8740

Yep & locking this hair is a real challenge 😎

I was confused between me having 4a b or c I’m not full African, I’m mixed with black and white so I doubted it and my hair was not as thick as others, I realized it gets thick when it’s dry and my hair is very moisturized one of the signs you have 4c hair is if your hair is not one shape but has different shapes on all, I ran into this problem and my hair looked different on one side and another, now I moisturize my 4c hair it’s beautiful, many chases you don’t see 4c or 1a hair, it’s very hard to take care of it but my favorite product has to be Cantù. As a kid I’ve been told my hair was a blessing all the time I never understood what they meant but my hair did feel like a pillow, so anyone with 4c or 1a may not even know they have it and that’s why you have dry bulky hair if you have 4c I recommend staying away from artificial gel use more natural gels or some that support your hair, I know this comment is all over the place but that’s tips for 4cs if you have 1a I recommend not trying to get curly hair it will deform in no time and for 4cs try to moisturize your hair as much as you can I know it’s hair because 4c hair is hard to brush and moisturize but keep going and you’ll have perfect hair Signs of 4c 1. Hair pattern is S or a Z. 2 Hair doesn’t stay the same shape. 3. The hair is difference patterns on different places. 4. It’s very fragile. 5. It shrinks dramatically when you use water. 6. Brushing it is hard. 7. Often or gets dry to fast. 8. Bulky when you don’t moisturize it. 9. Certain hairstyles don’t work or just devolve. 10. Soft hair when you moisturize it. 11. Hair feels amazing to touch (Silky, Coily, Fluffy, Amazing) There is many more to this but those are some I know and experienced.

Megan’s hair is coarse 3c not type 4 which is more so the size the springs inside a pen. 4a would just be a more relaxed version of that and 4c would be a tight coil. Then you have to take into account whether the hair is fine or coarse.

The "4a" is definitely more 3c and the "3c" is more 3b

I’m def both. The thing is tho, it looks more one or the other based on the state. If I plucked it out or was on like day 6-8 of a wash n go, it looks more 4a and even 4b at some points. But freshly done, in the shower, or when braiding it looks and feels more 3c and even 3b. So I think this range of 3-4 hair is very diverse

I always used to think I had type 3 hair, then I remembered that I spent hours coiling them😂. Once I brush it my true Afro unfolds 😭

I definitely have both curl types...high porosity 3c/4a hair

The pictures I feel like don't match rlly well but the way you described was really helped me figure out: I have both. 😂

i have 3b/3c hair. i used to think my hair was reallu thick and dense like 4a, but when properly cared for at its natural curl pattern i realized its 3b/3c. it all really depends on the products your using, the method of combing, and how you take care of your hair

my hair is a whole bunch of textures, for example the front and ends of my hair are pretty tight 3a curls but then the back/crown part of my hair is kinda looser so more of 2b/2c curls 😭

Beautiful hair, beautiful smile and more importantly beautiful personality 💙

I thought I had 3c hair until it was properly moisturized. The difference between dehydrated 3C hair and easy to manage 4a hair is crazy. The purple bottle of Nexus keratin conditioner changed my life. I use it as a leave-in conditioner and a styling cream. My wash and goes are easy and flawless.

My little has coils and my hair is wavey. This video helped alot! Ty!

idk but I think this is a sign💀 I’m manifesting/using subliminals for these hair types and I’ve been randomly seeing videos about it everywhere I look. And I literally don’t even watch or comment on hair videos. And my hair is starting to look like the pictures here

Ohhh I get ITT all this time I didn't no my hair type now I do thxz❤❤❤❤

When you have both of these hair types on your head: 👁️👄👁️

This is helpful. I feel like I have a mixed texture but after watching this I’m thinking it’s more 4a

The difference btwn them is texture, which gives the curls a different shape. 3C usually isn't kinky and straightens when wet, 4a is kinky and waves when wet. 3C curls are wider than 4a bc the kink isn't there to coil them. Most people who call themselves 3C are either 3B or 4a. 3C isn't common. Yara Shahidi is a perfect 3C example. Kelis is too.

Yup I definitely have 4a hair Edit: nvm just came back cause I saw this on my fyp realized I have 3c/3b hair!

mines bith it depends on what product do I use and the way I style it

What is the point of classifying curl patterns? Especially since MANY people have a combination, and hair products truly just address the porosity for health and styling.

The 3c I thought i had was actually heat damage

I definitely have both. Thanks

So confused if mine is 2C or 3A😭

I have both, because the back of my hair curls but the front coils, and there’s a patch with zigzag shaped hair that just won’t define at all

My hair naturally whenever i put anything in it on it once it dries the front is wavy the sides on side a slight diffrence ive had stitches and staples 3 stiches in 5 staples on top was cut with a scalple seriously so they shaved itbut on a odd slant my hair was parted and they just shaved it off i was woke so they couldve tolld me anyway i get upset cause if i try to wear a middle part i have to zigzag my part it looks nice but any other way i have to munipulate one side and it takes longer not like i have thick long hair

This video is exactly what I'm looking for. Idk if I have 3c or 4a 🙏😒😫

Thank for this video now I know I have 3c and 4a hair

Most people have a few hair Typs I have a 2c and a 3c so you can have more then one

I have both 😊❤

I always thought I had 4c but it 4a cool

My curl isn’t as big as the first example but also not as small as the 2nd

im like 3b in the back and sides, but then in the front corners i am 3c then right in the midpoint there are like some 4c curls. it's interesting.

I absolutely agree with this. But all the time I see ppl like the second girl describing their hair as 3C. It leaves no room to differentiate 4B and 4C. And also, the first girl definitely isn't a 3B. So this classification is perfect to me. I know a girl with long 4-type hair which won't curl like this and I would say that's a 4B, making it easier to then see how it differs from 4C.

I have all the fours in mine, majority 4B 😅

I have 3c hair but sometimes some of my smaller coils form and look like 4a

My hair is majority 4a and people kept trying to tell me that I had 3c/4a...

I mainly have 3c hair but there’s hints of 3b and 4c

I mostly 3c but I also have 4a and a little 3b, I'm mixed by the way so that probably why

My hair is all the curl types, just depends on how wet it is.

Not me having 4A at the top of my head and then 3C at the back

The definitions are right but the examples don’t match

I have both !!

My hair has both patterns

I definitely have 4a

I have 2C/3C when I take care of it…. I don’t look it but I got dem Italian gurl curls 😅

I have 4b hair but some days it feels like 4c cuz baby that hair is THICK

Nah, not sure I agree with this. My hair is WAY curlier when wet me when it dries curls look more defined & like corkscrews-more than Megan’s. But Not as voluminous as the first girl, whose hair looks 3B. I have 3C with a sprinkle of 3B and a splash of 4A around the edges.😂

I have both

I think your break down is more the type(2,3,4, etc) of hair more than the pattern(a,b,c, etc) the first girl has type 3 hair but it’s dry and manipulated so you don’t know it’s natural pattern.. the second hair type is 4 but all type 4 hair looks the same dry so you don’t know the pattern til it’s wet

I have 3c hair at the rim around my head and 4a at the top to centre of my head....

Now I'm 100% sure that I have both
