1. Understand your curl type
Curly hair broadly falls under 3 main categories: Type 2 waves, Type 3 curls, and Type 4 coils. Understanding your curl type helps you create a personalised curl routine for the best results.
Here’s a quick breakdown of the 3 main curl types:
- Type 2 (Wavy): Loose, S-shaped waves that can lose shape easily.
- Type 3 (Curly): Springy, defined curls that range from loose loops to tight ringlets.
- Type 4 (Coily): Tightly coiled, dense curls prone to dryness.
