All about Hair Types

Hair Types

Type 2A Wavy: Waves are fine and thin with a loose, tousled texture.

Type 2B Wavy: Hair is mostly straight at the roots
and falls into more defined S-shaped waves from the mid-lengths
to the ends. It is a medium texture with some frizz
at the crown.

Type 2C Wavy:Hair is mostly straight
at the roots and falls into more defined S-shaped waves
from the mid-lengths to the ends.
It is a medium texture with some frizz at the crown.

Type 3A Curly: Big, loose curls and spirals similar
in circumference to a piece of thick, sidewalk chalk.
Your curls tend to be shiny, with a well-defined S-shape.

Type 3B Curly: Springy curls can vary from
ringlets to corkscrews. They are voluminous and have a
circumference similar to a Sharpie marker.
Type 3b hair tends to be coarse and dense.

Type 3C Curly: This often is referred to as curly-coily and tends to be
very dense, tightly packed corkscrews that are the
circumference of a pencil or a straw. Type 3c hair tends
to experience the most volume, but also the most shrinkage of curls.

Type 4A Coily:springy coils are either wiry or
fine, and have the circumference of a crochet needle. They
are tightly coiled, with a visible S pattern.

Type 4B Coily: hair bends in sharp angles like the letter Z. The curl is
tighter and less defined - about the circumference of a pen
with strands that range from fine and thin to wiry and coarse.

Type 4C Coily: densely packed hair is similar to a 4b, but
rexperiences less definition and more shrinkage. The tightly
coiled strand texture ranges from super fine, thin and soft
to wiry and coarse. It is very delicate.
