Your hair is straight at the roots at least for the most part and has s shaped waves that have more definition from the mid length down to the ends.
Type 2 texture is typically flatter at the root and lays close to the head getting curlier from the ears down. The texture is medium and has a bit of frizz at the crown. The curls have a more defined s shape. Type 2 wavy texture is not quite straight and not completely curly with the spectrum of hair ranging from loose loops to coarse thick s shaped waves combined with curls.
