Understanding your hair type is crucial for maintaining healthy, beautiful hair. There are four primary hair types, each with unique characteristics that influence how you care for and style your hair. Let's break it down:
Hair Types Explained
-
Type 1: Straight Hair
-
Characteristics: Straight hair easily allows sebum (natural scalp oil) to travel from roots to ends, making it resilient and less prone to damage.
-
Challenges: Type 1 hair tends to be oily, making it difficult to maintain styles as sebum can weigh down the hair.
-
Type 2: Wavy Hair
-
Characteristics: Wavy hair has subtle waves and some volume.
-
Challenges: It requires hydration to maintain defined waves without weighing them down.
-
Type 3: Curly Hair
-
Characteristics: Curly hair has distinct curls that can range from loose to tight.
-
Challenges: Curly hair needs moisture to stay defined and avoid frizz.
-
Type 4: Coily Hair
-
Characteristics: Coily hair has a tight curl pattern
-
Challenges: Sebum struggles to travel along the coils, potentially leading to dryness and fragility.
Tailored Care Tips for Each Hair Type
