LESSON 3: HAIR TYPES✍️

Hair type is the pattern of your natural hair as it grows out of your scalp, not altered in any way or form. Determining your hair type is a starting point to finding the right products and styles for your hair.
We have 4 types of hair: straight,wavy, curly and kinky(each type has subdivisions a,b,c which shows how the hair curls in each type).
It can also be classified by curl pattern (straight, wavy, curly and very curly/coily), hair strand thickness (fine, medium and coarse) and volume (thin, normal and thick).

TYPE 1(Straight Hair): Usually the most oily hair texture of all. Hard to manage and immensely difficult to curl these hair texture.

TYPE 2(Wavy Hair): More likely to become frizzy than straight hair. It ranges between straight and curly hair.

TYPE 3(Curly Hair): Also known to have a S-shape(may resemble a lowercase"s", uppercase"S", lowercase"z" or uppercase"Z" depending on the subdivision). This type is usually voluminous, climate dependent(humidity=frizz) and damage-prone. Lack of proper care causes less defined curls.️

TYPE 4(Kinky Hair): Tightly coiled curl pattern that is often fragile with a very high density.

It shrinks when wet and is more susceptible to damage (respect to all the 4c hair queens ...it ain't easy, I tell you).

You can have more than one hair type.
If relaxed, you can't determine your hair type.

So lovelies...whats your hair type?
