Hey there! I'm new to the CG way of life but have been obsessively researching and reading these boards for the past month. I'm not "true" CG as I am trying to use up the really expensive Aveda shampoo/conditioner/gel I recently bought before I discovered this website.

However, I have learned SO MUCH! Oh my. My husband loves my newly "plopped" hair in the evening ;) and the oh so attractive "pineapple" also in the evening but I'm so happy with my 2 and sometimes 3 day hair. Before my curls would get smooshed and now when I take down my hair in the morning, it is so pretty and fluffy for the most part (got to figure out how to keep my crown/top of head from getting flattened).

I hope it is ok to ask but I'd like to know my type for sure. I know it is 2 something. I get big fat sausage curls underneath but I wish I could get more spirals at the root. I live in hot humid FL (which is not so hot or humid right now, love it!) and when I even slightly perspire, everything at my crown goes utterly flat. My hair is very fine, thin and I think kinda pourous. The GVP conditioning balm is waaaay too heavy for me. But yesterday, I tried the sample I got of Amourai's Duchess of Curls enhancer and BRHG. The pics below are of 2nd day hair (it's kinda first day hair as I washed and did all that last night). But I'm really happy with it. Every other day or so is a new experiment seems like!

If all you kind hearted souls could please let me know am I 2a, b or c, I would greatly appreciate it!

This is a great board and I LOVE all the information on here! Thank you!!!!

    Welcome :blob7: Looks 2C to me. More important though is your texture/porosity. Have you read up on those yet?

    Hey!!! Thank you for the welcome!!!

    My hair is very fine and is a medium porosity.

    Thanks for all your opinions on my curl. I'm really loving it lately. I've always had curly hair and made peace with it a LONG time ago - it is way too hard to fight the humidity in FL to have straight hair.

    But thank you for the welcome - I LOVE LOVE LOVE the 2 Board!!!
