Default Not sure

Sorry to do this, but I'm new at the cg stuff... I know it is fine and dense, and think curl pattern is a mix of 3a and 3b? Let me know what you think please.

Welcome, jojocurl! Your hair does look to be a mixture of 3a and 3b. That info only describes your curl pattern. Knowing your density, texture and porosity is what will help you find products that will bring out the best in your curls. You mentioned your density and texture. Have you figured out your porosity? That can be a little tricky.

I agree, looks like 3a/3b mix. Very beautiful! Can't wait to see what CG does for your hair

Thanks for the input! Now, I just have to figure out porosity. I tried the glass of water test and it floated but read that's not very accurate.

@crazycurlychick: yours does look a bit like mine! I can tell you are younger than me and just wish I would have discovered all this years ago
