Hair Type and Texture

Coil-out

 Coil out with braids

 
I have finally identified my hair type and texture. I am a 4A with some strangely straight curls near the nape of my neck.The overall texture is very coiled and cotton-like. I have the type of hair that has to be immersed in water just to get it soaking wet. This type of hair draws up tighter than its actual length, so it looks like I have a short fro, but when I do a textured style like a twist or coil out, I can see that it's actually longer than it is.I'm learning that it helps knowing what the texture and type of hair you have especially when looking for products, as its makes it easier to decide what you need based on this information.
