I do think there is a distinct difference between regular 4a, 4b hair and cnapp hair:įor instance, bmorefly (now known as glamazon ) has a hair type that almost consistently 4a.
My theory is that 4B hair has a pattern, but between the sharp bends and shrinkage it's difficult to ever really make out a coil pattern unless the hair is pulled taut (puff).Ĭ-Napps is just too inconsistant - I see alot of folk claiming C-Napp and I go into their fotkis and see coils (including the person who devised the system).Īll of this is my opinion and not written in stone. Traditional wisdom holds that 4B doesn't have definition. The thickness is what creates the illusion that there is no definition. The thinner/finer the hair the better chance there is of seeing definition that the beds create.ĤB hair (medium to thick) - looks like a cloud. This hair has sharp bends and instead of the S of a coil it looks like the number 5. 3 shines without camera flash 4 does not.ĤA hair (medium to thick) - still looks like a twistout just fluffier and the thicker it is the less likely it is to clump into defined coils as 4a-thin.ĤB hair (thin/fine) - looks like a new braidout unmanipulated. More times than not people mistake it as 3c because of the definition but the key difference between type 3C and 4A is natural shine. Ok here is the JCoily oversimplified guide to type 4 hair.ĤA hair (thin/fine) - looks like a well defined twistout unmanipulated. Now that whole 4a and 4b thing, I'm still a little confused over it. Based on this definition, I think cnapp hair is very common. Any other characteristic is secondary and may vary among individuals. And so cnapps save their money when it comes to buying products that "define your curls" cuz there aren't any to define. But the whole package, even with wet or product, looks like cotton fluff and not like curls. Sometimes (usually, seems to me), the individual strands have curls and coils. The defining characteristic of cnapp hair, as I understand it (and I chat a lot on the cnapp forum), is that it doesn't clump into curls. How could it not be? The term was made precisely to describe their hair, so if anybody is in that category, they are. It doesn't make any sense to me for a group of people to come up with a name for their hair and then have other people come in and say "no, your hair is not that category". Go to the blog Nappturology, or the forum CNappyMeNow.
