Posted on April 24, 2012 at 2:25 PM

STRAIGHT HAIR: Is pretty self-explanatory…STRAIGHT HAIR…·         WAVY HAIR: there are categories for this type: 2a, 2b, 2c. With wavy hair there is very loose tresses curl pattern; more of a ‘S’ shape.

o   2a is fine, thin – but manageable

o   2b is medium texture -  tendency to frizz

o   2c thick and coarse – resistance to styling – greater tendency to frizz

·         CURLY HAIR: tighter and well-defined curl pattern

§   Absorbs a lot of water and shrinks when wet. When dry, it reverts to curliest state.

§  Prone to frizziness and humidity

o   3a has  loosest curl pattern – tends to be shinier with big curls

o   3b tighter curl pattern – med. To tight curl

o   3c tightly curl look and may look slightly kinky – strands to tend to be densely packed together

·         Kinky/Coarse Hair: tightly curled to kinky hair

§  Less shiny and prone to dryness and frizziness

§  hair texture is delicate and breaks easily

§  extra moisture is needed

o   4a is tightly coiled – when stretched, the curl has an ‘S’ pattern.

o   4b coarsest and requires extra moisture - has more a ‘Z’ pattern

o   4c – WHEWW…(this seems to be me) is the COARSEST of ALL! Requires MOISTURE, MOISTURE, and more MOISTURE – hair is more of a constant loop-like(think, binding on a notebook)
