How do you define your hair type?
Defining your hair type is essential for choosing the right hair products. Hair can be classified into four main types:
Type 1: Straight hair - This is straight hair with no curls. It tends to be greasier because sebum spreads easily along the hair fibre.
Type 2: Wavy hair - With S-shaped waves, this hair has more volume than straight hair but less curl than curly hair. It can be divided into subtypes 2A, 2B and 2C, ranging from slightly wavy to very wavy.
Type 3: Curly hair - Characterised by defined curls in the shape of spirals or springs. It can be divided into subtypes 3A, 3B, and 3C, ranging from wide curls to very tight curls.
Type 4: Frizzy hair - This hair has very tight curls or a zigzag texture. It is often dry and fragile because sebum has difficulty distributing itself along the hair fibre. Subtypes include 4A, 4B, and 4C, from tight curls to extremely frizzy hair.
To identify your hair type, look at the natural shape of your curls after washing without styling products.
