Know your hair type

Hair types are generally classified based on texture and curl pattern. The most common system is the Andre Walker Hair Typing System, which categorizes hair into four main types, each with subcategories:

Type 1: Straight Hair

1A – Very straight, fine, and soft with no wave or curl.

1B – Straight but with a bit more volume and body.

1C – Straight with a slight wave, thicker and coarser.

Type 2: Wavy Hair

2A – Loose, soft waves with a fine texture.

2B – More defined waves with a bit of frizz.

2C – Deep waves with a tendency to be frizzy and coarse.

Type 3: Curly Hair

3A – Loose, big curls with a shiny appearance.

3B – Tighter, springy curls with more volume.

3C – Corkscrew curls that are dense and have a lot of shrinkage.

Type 4: Coily/Kinky Hair

4A – Small, tight coils with a soft texture.

4B – Zigzag curls that shrink a lot when dry.

4C – Tightest coils with little definition, prone to dryness and shrinkage.

Each type has unique characteristics, requiring different care routines, products, and styling methods.
