Hair type preference?

[bubble_tea]

Do you find your own hair type the nicest or another hair type?

I find all other types of hairs prettier than my inanimate hair. Does anyone else feel that way?

I like my hair type best.

My hair type is ok, but I find another hair type best.

[TheDevilInside]

As an Asian, I have straight hair, like the first picture. Only with undefined waves from my jawline downwards.

I have a round face, so hair that straight is not good for me. I permed it to make it look like the Olsen girl pic. I've always gotten very flattering compliments when I perm my hair. Girls are jealous, and guys find it nice. The waves gives more dimension and movements to my hair. Not to mention volume and shape.

[bubble_tea]

Did you have perm rods like these www.hairfinder.com/articles2005/perm-hair-rods.jpg or spiral rods like these www.hairmedia.de/.../431_0.JPG or did you get a digital perm?

[TheDevilInside]

like the first one, but arranged like the second one (vertically). I don't know what a digital perm is

[bubble_tea]

Ah ok.
Here are the differences. You sort of look like attached to the matrix lol
www.ohkims.com.au/.../differencePerm1.jpg
Supposedly, you can get any kind of curls you want unlike with normal perm

[TheDevilInside]

oh I bet it's mighty expensive.

I've only had regular perms.

[bubble_tea]

I don't know.. I've never gotten a perm, so I don't know the prices.

[been_waiting]

Mine's closest to W2A I guess? But it doesn't really look like that. None of the above look like my hair type lol

I find curly hair really, really cute. Thick curly hair, kinda like c3a. but more like lorde's:

stealherstyle.net/.../lorde-royals-hair.jpg

it's so fucking awesome

[bubble_tea]

Indeed fucking awesome! Your hair is fucking awesome too though ^^

[thewanderingme]

I love my hair type. for me. I don't think there is a best type of hair though.

also, I consider referring someone's hair that is curly (tight coils) as kinky to be extremely insulting. it's no better than calling it nappy.

[bubble_tea]

I don't think there is one best type either.

This is just a pic I found on the internet, but it uses the same terminology as in this wikipedia article
en.wikipedia.org/.../Afro-textured_hair

[thewanderingme]

I've seen it used in many places. but actual kinky hair is caused by a rare illness some people have. black people hair isn't kinky, it's tight curls.

[bubble_tea]

How would you name the last row

Sorry I have to ask since English is not my first language.. why is nappy and kinky insulting? In the dictionary those words are not marked with *pejorative*

[thewanderingme]

the girl on the left looks curly, tight curls. the one in the middle is actually in twists, so who knows. and the one on the right looks like tight waves.

[bubble_tea]

You know what. You're right. I also think the curly hair pic in the left should be swapped with the curly hair pic in the middle.

[mistninja314]

I went from very kinky/coarse hair to this i1127.photobucket.com/.../IMGP2920.jpg j i1127.photobucket.com/.../IMGP2925.jpg l i1127.photobucket.com/.../IMGP2876.jpg I find mine to be the nicest simply because it's what's on my head LOL <3 and IMHO most people should feel the same about their own hair

[bubble_tea]

lol but.. but.. I remember you wrote you liked japanese girls for their silky hair :O

[mistninja314]

OH, I DO and it's such a turn on to me when combined with the rest of their features. <3 <3

But I LOVE Jhene Aiko's skin tone (black) when mixed with their hair/bone structure-face shape <3 <3 = perfection in my eyes and I want Blasian babies someday if I do in fact have some LOL

But you know how people seem to think that straighter hair is better hair? THAT IS WHY I chose not to say that because most people will try take it out of context or think that I don't LOVE my own natural features. Which is complete BS id you've seen my posts from around the site.. hell then again look at my own hair it's pretty obvious that I take care of it <3 <3 etc

I prefer natural black hairstyles any day over non-black ones LOL like what @Mgoods @xXiTacoXx a @mutedaisy and @Creole_Flavor are styling <3 <3 overall I don't like straight hair that just falls to the ground because it looks plain/boring to me for some reason. I like eye candy (Curls, waves, dreads something anything but straight )

[mistninja314]

Now I love when a snow bunny or a person with straighter hair has it tied in some braided formation LOL

shechive.files.wordpress.com/.../...ded-hair-1.jpg like that <3

[xXiTacoXx]

I got scared when I realized I was mentioned on this because I haven't seen this question. xD

[mistninja314]

@xXiTacoXx Mist scared huh?

[xXiTacoXx]

A little bit. Lol

[mistninja314]

@xXiTacoXx Payback sucks right?, but forreal I'm glad to see a natural hairstyled susta on here LOL

[xXiTacoXx]

[mistninja314]

@xXiTacoXx LOl abs are hurting from laughing LOL

[bubble_tea]

They do have great hair indeed ^^ I prefer theirs over my straight hair too haha I think I'm too brainwashed by media lol

[mistninja314]

@asker I like all hairstyles (Textures also) to be honest and I don't mind when ___ wants another races texture IF they like their own just as much ^_^ #HopeThatMAdeSense and if not hey it shouldn't good right? LOL

[xXiTacoXx]

I think your abs might need an icepack if they're in pain.

[mistninja314]

@xXiTacoXx But Young Grasshopper it's your fault >_< LOL

[xXiTacoXx]

QAQ I'm sorry for hurting you Mist-sensei.

[mistninja314]

@xXiTacoXx I"m sorry for being a weak punk *Goes to the dojo to toughen up* LOL

[xXiTacoXx]

*Bows at you head to the dojo,* There's nothing to be ashamed of Mist-sensei.

[mistninja314]

[Creole_Flavor]

Daaammn son u got mad waves son lol that's hot <3

[Ihav2fart]

The Grasshop's Grasshop has surpassed sensei

[PhiOmega]

I don't know my hair type, all those chicks look different to me,

But irl i get plenty of compliments on my hair among other things

[PhiOmega]

I like Polynesian hair

[PhiOmega]

s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/.../...ad46b95c60.jpg

Polynesian women are to die for,

Their men are handsome too, they're just an extremely beautiful race of people

[Creole_Flavor]

They have different hair type systems I'm sort of 4a/3b/something else. I have different textures and sometimes I love it sometimes I don't but that's only because its shorter in the back then it is at the top and the middle. My hair is very versatile.

[bubble_tea]

This might sound stupid, but I'm asking this as a noob when it comes to other hair types.. why you can't just cut the hair to the shape you want? I mean you could just cut the top and middle to make it more even?

[Creole_Flavor]

It does sound stupid and I don't understand what you are asking. The style that you see in my picture does not show my textures which is wavy and coily. This is just pulled back with a fro bun on top. I don't want to cut my hair it took a long time for me to transition and grow my hair back after cutting it the first time so for now I only wear styles that compliment my hair length.

[Creole_Flavor]

I also have shrinkage and can use products to make my longer hair shorter or elongate the short parts lol

[bubble_tea]

"sometimes I don't but that's only because its shorter in the back then it is at the top and the middle"
I thought you meant you wanted to get a round look and it looks short/flat on the back, so cutting the top and middle would achieve that look :/ well, if you can achieve that already by using products, there's no reason to cut it. by the way it sounds awesome that you can achieve different hair types simply by using products :)

If I had to pick a hair probably this wavy hair which I didn't see represented.

[bubble_tea]

second row.

[mutedaisy]

I like my hair texture best, but that's because I know how to handle it. I can't handle straight hair and If my kid has different texture, I'd be overwhelmed. (X_X) I have 4c hair.

[bubble_tea]

Very true. Whenever I do braids to get wavy hair, I get frizzy hair instead of nice wavy hair, because I don't know how to handle it.

[CHARismatic110]

I have a weird texture of hair. It's thick and really curly and a pain in my butt but I love it. If I had to change anything, I probably make the curl pattern a little more naturally loose because it'd be easier to deal with.

[thewanderingme]

get a better brush. its all about the brush.

[CHARismatic110]

@thewanderingme yeah someone else said that to me too

[Queen_naki5]

I have 4A-4B and I enjoy it. I braid it, I blow dry/flat iron and wear it straight, I wear it in an Afro or wear extensions/weave (rarely) for a different look. I like other hair textures as well.

[Mycsph]

My hair is okay and if I were to choose I would pick w2b, I like straight but I think wavy hair are the best!

[mistninja314]

My waifu I agree so have these i1127.photobucket.com/.../ezgif.com-add-text_3.gif and become 1 of the coveted #Mistwive

Well that escalated quickly #TheThirstIsRealInThat1KnownAsMistninja314

[mistninja314]

@mistninja314 the way you put that made me laughed LOL <3 <3 <3 the coveted #Mistwives are growling YAY!!!

[Beautifiedgirl123]

I have wavy hair and I like it. It's not completely wavy. What I mean by that is the top half of my hair is straight and the bottom part is wavy so mid length to the end/tip of my hair

[mistninja314]

<3 <3 <3 <3

[maykays]

I kinda like my curly hair, its like a mixture of 2c, 3a, and 3b. But I sometimes I wish I had straight hair so I could do more with it

[bubble_tea]

As someone with super straight hair.. You can't really do more with it. When I curl them with an iron and the curls are my chest, but down to my waist after 3 hours.. and reaching my back at the end of the day... and the curls don't look like curls anymore, more like strange waves.
But a friend who flat irons her curly hair still has straight hair the next day or day after.. until she showers.

[zorro8888]

I like my own hair type lol
People with straight hair do have a lot more options as to what they can do though.

[bubble_tea]

Not when you want to do non-permanent things. When I do curls with a curling iron, they lose their bounce after 3 hours or so :( and I just get a slightly wavy mess.

[zorro8888]

Oh lol I was speaking for guys :P
Is it the same thing regardless of sex? Because I don't think guys try to do curls.

Isn't there a kind of spray you can use to hold the curls/bounce?

[bubble_tea]

I don't have any guy friends with naturally straight long hair, so I don't know if their hair lose their fluffy artificial curls after 3 hours too lol

I don't know. I've generously used regular hair spray. It did not stay. Maybe it would hold better if I colored my hair.

[zorro8888]

Lol I don't think coloring it would change much but I think you'd look nice with some highlights.

Doesn't your boyfriend have sort of straight hair? Or is it curly or something?

[bubble_tea]

Hmm.. I don't know about highlights. I used to have highlights and I looked like a zebra.

He has wavy hair, but I permed his hair the other day xD He didn't like the curly outcome and cut his hair shorter so it looks wavy again, though a little wavier than before :P

[thewanderingme]

tsk tsk

plenty can be done with any hair type, not just straight.

[GoldenSunshine]

I have straight hair but I've always liked curles/afro :D

[bubble_tea]

Thanks for answering! Finally, I feel less like an alien now for liking something else haha

[GoldenSunshine]

Don't worry, I think that's pretty common actually :) I do like my own hair though, but I think afro is way cooler

[bubble_tea]

Me too!

[bubble_tea]

When I saw Yaya DeCosta in that movie.. Instant girl crush!

[GoldenSunshine]

wow that's so cool! :D I'd probably look pretty strange in afro though ^^

[performerwannabe]

My naturall hair is somewhere in between C3b and C3c and I'd die to have W2b. W2a is also amazing! :)

[snuggle_bunny88]

I like my hair but I've always wanted curly or wavy hair. :p

[Your_boss960]

I like my hair type best and I have wavy long wavy hair

[Your_boss960]

I'm in between straight hair and wavy hair w2a

[Jersey1]

W2A and W2B look great! My wife and daughther have those types.

[John_Doesnt]

S1 and C3b look the best, but I think it's the women wearing the hair that makes it win.

[sagari]

My hairs are long curls and I think they are okay.,

[douride2]

I like my hair the way it is. Mostly straight with a bit of a wave at times.

[zombiebabe]

my hair is curly and i like it

[Mgoods]

I love my hair. It makes me happy, lol

^_^

[Aud_Queen]

I have a combination of all the type 4. Love it!
