No it's not just hair!

[Nope]

My husband has very coarse hair that grows up and out but not down. It doesn't even curl but just frizzes. I could see if he was a female doing twist outs to turn that frizz into pretty curls.

This is sort of off the subject but the discussion on curls interests me.

BQ, you gave a number and letter for curly type hair. What would my husband's hair be? He keeps it very short. I went to the naturally curly site and  I believe that my oldest daughter has between 2b and 2c.

I don't see my son's type hair listed in the photos on this site either. Like my husband, his hair doesn't grow down, but he has definite curls in his hair. My husband's hair doesn't really curl. It just frizzes out in a cloud.

Sounds like 4a  if it's a frizz cloud. Tight frizz, or wavy frizz?

I have only seen it longer a few times but I would say a wavy frizz.
