Before you choose a hairstyle or product, you need to understand your hair type. Every strand on your head has its own texture, thickness, and curl pattern — and knowing these details helps you make better choices for your look and health.
The Four Main Hair Types
- Straight Hair (Type 1): Naturally shiny but prone to oil buildup. It requires lightweight creams and volumizing products to maintain bounce.
- Wavy Hair (Type 2): Falls between straight and curly. It can frizz easily, so use hydrating products that define your waves without weighing them down.
- Curly Hair (Type 3): Full of volume and shape but needs consistent moisture. Use curl creams and avoid heavy gels that stiffen your hair.
- Coily Hair (Type 4): Beautifully textured and dense. It needs deep conditioning and oils to stay hydrated and soft.
How to Determine Your Type
Wash your hair, let it air dry, and observe the pattern. Does it lie flat? Wave? Form curls or tight coils? The answer helps you identify the right regimen.
Caring for Each Hair Type
Straight hair loves dry shampoos and light oils. Wavy hair thrives with leave-in conditioners. Curly hair shines with creamy moisturizers, and coily hair needs butter-rich creams.
