Why I do not participate in curl typing :
All curls are unique to me and one number along side a letter can not describe these curls for me. The curly typing usually leads people to believe their hair is automatically dry or to oily , when it's based off of your gene code. It also makes many believe their hair is only one type when there are many types in one curl bowl. Yes there are some pros to this system as it allows naturals to connect with others that possibly have the same bowl as them. But with this many automatically believe what works on that persons head should work on theirs. Which leads to my biggest issue , the chart makes people believe that their hair will only work with certain products due to this charts product recommendations which is not always true. The curl trying is not my favorite as I have not been exposed to it my whole life , it may be an amazing tool for other naturals or new naturals for a starting guide but it's not a RissaJ need.
