Curious as to what my hair type actually is.

Any tips are also appreciated, I straightened for 20+ years and started embracing my natural hair about 3 years ago. It is thin and low porosity. If I spray water on a refresh day it will bead up and drip off pretty quickly. Still a learning process, I feel every day can produce a different result.

First photo for reference is zero product completely air dried. Second photo is from a year ago before I started the cgm outlined below.

I typically wash 2x weekly (one being a clarifying shampoo) but condition daily. Then I squish cream in my wet hair and apply strong hold gel using the prayer hands method. I will use oil to uncrunch the crunch if needed.
