Know your curl!

There are twelve types of hair. Each type is identified by a number – from 1 to 4– that grows progressively as the hair movement increases. Type 1 refers to straight hair, type 2 to wavy hair and type 3 to curly hair, type 4 is for coily and textured hair. Within each category, there is an additional subdivision into A, B, C that describes how the curl winds.

"What's Your Curl Type?"
-Davines US

Wavy

Type 2 waves can be very delicate or more evident and develop following an S pattern on lengths.

2A - Wavy and fine hair -The 2A texture is generally flatter at the root, and it becomes softer from the ears down to the ends. Being barely visible, this type of wavy hair can be straightened easily.

2B - Wavy and thick hair - Your hair is mostly straight at the roots and fall in S bends that are more defined from the midlength to the ends. It is a medium texture with some frizz, especially around the head.

2C - Wavy and full hair - People who have this type of hair usually decide to emphasize it with a big-hair effect. Waves are defined from the roots. This texture is generally thick or coarse and is prone to frizz.

Curly

The spirals of type 3 curly hair may range from loose to tight and bouncy. They are almost always prone to frizzing.

3A - Large spiral soft curls - Curls feature big and large spirals. Ringlets tend to be shiny with a well-defined scroll shape.

3B - Tight spiral curls - This type of curl is characterized by spirals that start right off the roots. Curls are bouncy and are halfway between ringlets and corkscrews. They have volume and tend to be coarse and full.

3C - Corkscrew curls- It is thick hair prone to frizz and the curl size if fairly tight, typically with the circumference of a pencil or straw Type C hair is the one with the tightest spirals in category 3, yet it's also the one that tends to feature the largest volume.

Shampoo and Conditioner for curls

Caring for curly hair starts with shampoo. On the one hand, curly and wavy hair tends to get frizzy by nature, and on the other, it may lose vitality and volume becoming flat and heavy. In your beauty routine, you cannot do without a moisturizing shampoo that gives elasticity and softness. Furthermore, do not forget to apply conditioner every time you shampoo the hair, and a mask once a month.
