I think my hair type is a 3c and 4a would you say this is true from the photo I have uploaded? It been a real learning curve!

Ok, I’m stumped - I don’t fit any of these hair types! One day it is 2b through 3b and the next somewhere between 3b and 4b!?! Often it is all of the above all of the time! I have some very very fine almost see-through hair which is nearly straight and then range in thickness and texture through as the hairs get darker in colour through to VERY very thick dark bronze hairs which are tight corkscrew kinks (often with right-angles along the hairshaft.) Soooo confused! G.x
