I don't think you have african american coarse hair, and it is more wavy than curly, I have curly hair and it isn't like that at all. Your hair type is fine wavy hair. =)

Hope I helped

If your saying that your hair is exactly like that with the exception of the length, then I guess you don't have african american hair texture. But not all african americans have coarse hair.

But it's wavy.

Coarse hair traditionally contains three layers which includes the medulla, cortex and cuticle. Coarse hair quickly absorbs moisture because the scales on the outside layer of coarse hair (unless damaged) tend to be tightly connected or overlapped and raised up and away from the shaft.

Finely textured hair usually only contains a cortex and cuticle and thus requires special care. Fine hair generally is more difficult to curl and tends to lay flat, even if there are a large number of hair. Fine hair tends to be fly-a-way and weightless. Fine hair may be easier to process but can also be more easily damaged from chemical applications.

Extremely Curly Hair grows in long twisted spirals. When looking under a microscope curly hair tends to have an oval shape and vary in shape and thickness along the length of different strands. Curly hair is quite irregular unlike wavy and straight strands.

Some extremely curly hair tends to form into a shape like a coil or tight wire hence the name wiry. Coiled hair tends to be fine. It also tends to wrap around each other, breaks easily, has low elasticity and tangles, especially on the ends.

Wavy hair tends to be oval and have a fairly regular uniform diameter along a single strand. Wavy hair tends to possess a regular and uniform diameter along a single strand.

1) african american coarse hair is not a hair type because a) all black people do not have coarse hair b) black people are not the only ones that can have coarse hair. you really can't tell because most people with coarse hair has thick hair, meaning thick hair strands. (alot of black people confuse thick hair with dense hair; which is hair that has thin strands but alot of them). coarse is a texture so you can't tell wheter someone has coarse hair unless you touch it, or it's damaged.

2) it looks wavy. a curl is more circular; a wave is s-shaped

3) looks like 2b or 3a
