What type of hair do you have?

Discover the different types of hair

In everyday life, most people are familiar with these four hair types: straight, wavy, kinky, and curly. But did you know that there's a hair typology within your hair type? Knowing your hair well allows you to care for it with the right products and avoid disaster.
Come on, we'll explain everything to you!

hair type

Hair typology classifies hair type from 1 to 4 with hair subtypes from A to C.

Hair type: straight

Type 1A straight hair: fine and tends to tangle easily.

Type 1B straight hair: fine with a little more hold and thickness.

Type 1C hair: Thicker and more resistant to curling. Type 1C hair is also shinier, with sebum in the scalp extending to the ends.

Hair type: wavy

Type 2A wavy hair: fine and slightly wavy in an S-shape along the length. The hair's wave is more undefined and not very voluminous.

Type 2B wavy hair: S-shaped curls with a more defined texture. People with this hair type may experience some frizz on their scalp, but this is usually mild.

Wavy hair type 2C: thicker and fuller with very well-defined S-shaped curls.

Hair type: curly

Type 3A curly hair: Large, S-shaped, well-defined curls. This hair type is shiny but is the heaviest in the category, which is why the curls lose some of their definition.

Curly hair type 3B: curls well defined from the roots and tighter, which can take the form of frizz.

Curly hair type 3C: Well-defined, tight curls with a texture that can be perceived as kinky or very curly.

Hair type: frizzy

Type 4A kinky hair: Very tight curls or coils. Very voluminous hair with a somewhat defined shape.

Kinky hair type 4B: S-shaped or Z-shaped, finer but dense with pronounced waves. Be careful with this hair type because it is more fragile but malleable and soft when detangled.

Type 4C Kinky Hair: This hair type is the most complex because it is finer, more fragile, and drier. You really need to take care of your hair if you fall into this category.

You're now ready to know your hair type and choose the best hair products to take good care of it. After that, you'll have the hair of your dreams!
