Always Kinky: Hair Typing

Giving your hair a grade? I have been reading about the system on hair typing and I feel the need to weigh in on this issue. I have mixed feelings about this particular issue. On one end I feel like it can be useful in social/beauty networking where you don’t really get to compare hair for styling purposes. For example I see a style I like and think I may be able to rock it but I am not so sure if my curls would work. I guess this particular time would be fine to ask “What is your hair type?” On the other hand I feel like black women especially get so caught up in comparing and feeling inferior when it comes to hair sometimes I feel it may be best just to let each person figure it out themselves. Even in my experience as a life-long #naturalhair chick, my hair has gone thorough changes and if I did not know my hair, it would have been difficult to make the necessary adjustments.
