HAIR TYPES.....

Hey ladies, honestly I've never really given this much topic much thought , I mean not in depth until now, even working as a hair stylist you definitely have to have some knowledge of different hair types but this time it makes more sense. Going natural has really opened up many doors for me . Here I've posted some information on different hair types that I've found useful , god willing you ladies will find them as useful as I have. There is a system which will rank your hair type from 1-4. The numbers refer to the amount of curl pattern formed in your hair. Example type 1 is naturally straight and has no waves or curls. Type 2 hair has a slight wave to a more frizzy Wave. Type 3 has lots of curls. Type 4 hair has coils and is kinky in texture. Then there is the lettering of each number A,B,C. This is used to define thickness of each strand.
TYPE 4 A
Remember this category is considered kinky or very tightly curled. Hair can be very, tightly coiled and very fragile. When stretched has an "s' pattern much like curly hair.
TYPE 4B
Has a "Z' pattern less defined curl pattern the hair bends in sharp angles like the letter "Z"
TYPE 3 A
When the hair is wet this type appears to be pretty straight , as it dries it goes back to its curly state. Type 3 hair also has a lot of body and is easily styled in its natural state.
TYPE 3 B
This type has a medium amount of curl to tight corkscrews.
TYPE 3C
This type has extremely tight corkscrew curls and can be kinky or very tightly curled with lots of strands densely packed together.
TYPE 2
This wavy type of hair tends to be coarse with a definite "s " pattern to it. Type "2a" is pretty easy to handle. Types " 2b" and "2c" are a little more resistant to styling and tends to frizz.
TYPE 1
Type "1" hair is typically straight hair.
And there you have it ! until next time . Enjoy
