HAIR TYPES
There are four main types of hair:
Type 1 – straight Type 2 – wavy Type 3 – curly
Type 4 – tightly curled/ coily
The hair type and texture can be further broken down into a, b, and c based on the hair’s curl pattern, density, porosity, width, and length.
Type 1 is straight hair that doesn’t curl. This hair type is the most resilient, and is hard to damage.
- 1a – Stick straight
- 1b – Straight with more volume
- 1c – Straight with body wave and a couple of visible S-waves
Type 2 is wavy hair between straight and curly. Wavy hair is also more likely to become frizzy.
- 2a – Loose, stretched S-waves
- 2b – Shorter, more distinct S-waves
- 2c – Distinct S-waves with some spiral curls
Type 3 is curly hair that looks like the letter “S” or “Z.” Curly hair types are highly climate-dependent and can become frizzy and get damaged easily. Proper care is required to maintain healthy, well-defined curls.
- 3a – Big, loose spiral curls
- 3b – Bouncy ringlets
- 3c – Tight corkscrew curls
Type 4 is the hair that is coiled very tightly. It is more susceptible to damage than other hair types.
- 4a – Tightly coiled S-curls
- 4b – Tightly coiled, Z-pattern curls
- 4c – Mostly Z-patterned, tightly kinked, and less defined curls
