Letter and number curls

What do 3b or 4c curls mean? I keep seeing letter and number combos to describe curls....

Re: Letter and number curls

@TheGreatRaeRae It's a way to describe your curl pattern. I'm a 3A; my mom has much tighter curls than I do, she's a 3B or 3C.

@fieldsofclover This is the best photo that I have seen explaining the different curl types by number. Thanks to this photo I am definitely amending my curl type to 2B more like the blond featured and not Maran Carey.

Thank You that is the easiest to understand classification explanation for the curl numbers that I have seen

@sufannep Happy to help! It's not my graphic, but unfortunately it's gone around the internet long enough that I don't know who to give credit to.

Re: Letter and number curls

@fieldsofclover Great visual!  THANKS!  🙂

Thanks so much! I'm a 2b I think.

Thanks so much! I'm a 2b I think.
