Why Knowing Your Hair Type Matters

When it comes to achieving healthy, manageable hair, understanding your hair type is key. Your hair’s natural texture and behavior determine what products, styles, and care routines work best for you. Here’s a quick guide to the four main hair types and how to care for each:

1. Straight Hair (Type 1)

Straight hair tends to be smooth, shiny, and more prone to oil buildup since natural oils travel easily from root to tip. Use lightweight shampoos and avoid heavy conditioners that can weigh it down.

2. Wavy Hair (Type 2)

Wavy hair has a loose S-shape and can range from fine to coarse. It’s often prone to frizz, so opt for sulfate-free, moisture-boosting products and air-dry when possible to enhance natural waves.

3. Curly Hair (Type 3)

Curly hair forms well-defined ringlets or spirals. It tends to be drier, so hydration is essential. Use curl creams, deep conditioners, and avoid brushing when dry to maintain curl shape and reduce breakage.

4. Coily/Kinky Hair (Type 4)

This hair type has tight curls or zig-zag patterns and is the most fragile and dry. It thrives on moisture-rich products, gentle detangling, and protective styling like braids or twists.
