Curly Hair Type Guide

Your hair is not quite kinky, not quite wavy, but somewhere in between. It is known to have an S-shape. The curl pattern may resemble a lowercase "s", uppercase "S", or sometimes an uppercase "Z" or lowercase "z”. This hair type is usually voluminous, "climate dependent (humidity = frizz), and damage prone." Lack of proper care causes less defined curls.

Your texture and sheen ranges somewhere between straight and curly hair. Wavy hair is also more likely to become frizzy than straight hair.

Your hair features a tightly coiled curl pattern (or no discernible curl pattern at all) that is often fragile with a very high density. Your hair shrinks when wet and because it has fewer cuticle layers than other hair types it is more susceptible to damage.
