This won't cover the 'EXACT' match of hairtypes because there's hardly anyone in this world who doesn't have at least 2 different hair types on their heads. There are 4 different hair types which in turns are dividedd in different subcategories represented by letters. For example, most black/ mixed race people have hair type 3 and 4. Some have 3a, 3b, 3c or 4a, 4b or 4c hair types. Find out which hair type is yours. For more pictures click here.

4A. Easily susceptible to damage due to excessive combing. Combing hair dry leads to frizziness and open to breakage. Extremely Versatile And as always, keep moisturized! Limit your combing (use wide-tooth combs, bone combs are great, but not the thin ones; they RIP and TEAR your hair) READ the back of all hair products, mineral oil always sneaks in. Baggy, baggy, Baggy! BAGGY

(his hair looks styled this way also though, but I can still see his growth) ____________________________________________________
THE 3'S This hair type has many subtypes Can range from big ringlets, small ringlets, corkscrew, straw, to tight curls(curly lil balls). Okay, that didn't sound right, but at least I got my point across Pull it, stretch it, wrap it, and watch it sling back to its original state. Has a lot of body and volume, doesn't it? Easily absorbs water and has shrinkage when it dries. Always maintain moisture or can easily be prone to dryness/frizziness.. Keep it that way and you're asking for easy breakage. Limit combing, use a wide-tooth. Take the time to read all hair products, don't want to dry your hair out! Sleep with satin bonnet/scarf. 3 SUBTYPES: 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D(3C/4A mixed) __________________________________________________ 3A: (doesn't he look like "Hey Arnold"'s cousin?) 3B: (Highly-Textured 3B combed out into 'Fro, possibly bantu knotted also.) 3B/3C: (Highly-textured) 3C:
3C TWA:(combed out into Afro) 3C/4A: (below) ___________________________________________
THE 2'S This hair type is wavy. 2A is fine, 2B medium textured, and 2C is thick & coarse with a frizzy look. Needs a balance of both moisture and control. Versatile- can easily be styled to look
different.
2A:
2B: 2C:
THE 1'S This hair type is completely straight. No type of curl/wave pattern whatsoever. Can vary from extremely thin to extra coarse. Sometimes hard to keep certain styles-may fall during the day if doing various activities. Very sleek and shiny due to no curL/waVe which allows the light to reflect off of the hair giving it a shiny finish If 1's look dry and dull, it's most likely damaged. Fix that hair up! Deep-condition..wake it back to health. 1A:
