Hmm. Well first, I really like your hair :D I would guess you might be a 3c/4a or around there - maybe with some 3b sprinkled in. Saying that because I'm about a 3b/3c and you have the kind of great...

It may just be that part of your hair is so curly that it may not show its length very easily. You could make sure to keep the less curly hair trimmed shorter so that it blended in with the curlier...

LOL You don't need to go throwing out anything and everything with sulfate (or "cones") in it. Take a deep breath. Your hair will likely bounce back to normal since it hasn't been flat-ironed often...
