Understanding Your Hair: 4 Main Hair Types
Knowing your hair type is key to choosing the right products and styling techniques. Here are the 4 main hair types:
1. Type 1: Straight Hair – Lies flat against the head, with no natural curl or wave.
2. Type 2: Wavy Hair – Has a gentle, flowing curve, with a loose “S” shape.
3. Type 3: Curly Hair – Has a defined “S” shape, with a more pronounced curl pattern.
4. Type 4: Kinky Hair – Has a zig-zag or tightly coiled pattern, with a lot of texture and shrinkage.
By understanding your hair type, you can tailor your hair care routine to meet its unique needs and achieve healthy, beautiful locks.
