Help an older lady (new hair)find her hair type, please?

I just took the quiz and I am still confused.

Okay, the picture of me in the pink shirt outside was taken several years ago right after shampooing my hair. I didn't scrunch it or do anything to it. That was my regular wave pattern.

The second is several years later after shampooing my hair and scrunching my hair to enhance the waves.

I think my hair has somehow gotten a little curlier over the years from scrunching it for years. Also, it is a lot grayer now. I think the texture is changing. Is that possible?

Thank you! Hope someone can help me!

Nice curls! I'm not the best at hair typing, but I would say that yes, your hair has gotten curlier. It looks like the earlier picture shows type 2a hair, while the more recent pic might even be 3a...not sure.

I do think that the texture of gray hairs is often different from nongray hair. I have some gray coming in, and I see a very big texture difference. My gray is much coarser.

Your refrigerator looks like mine, with the holy cards.

The hot pink/purple shirt is 2c near the roots and 3a closer to the ends and the other light pink/turtle neck shirt is a 2b, the waves are just a bit too tight to be 2a. Without product and with frizz it masks the wave/curl pattern. As we age and hormones change in our bodies our curl patterns can drastically change. Even some medications and our eating habits/stress can change our curls!
