What is hair typing?
There are different types of hair and it is important to know yours so that you are able to know the specific needs for your hair and what kind of products are useful to your own type. Other people don't take it any serious but they are just able to work with their hair just fine (lucky them). I took it upon myself to know my type.
Hair typing basically explains the curl pattern of your hair. whether it's tight coiled, loosely coiled, curly, nappy or straight. Below are simple charts that may be helpful to you to identify your type:
I believe I am a 4B. Below is what has been found out about type 4 hair in general.
Type 4 – Kinky Hair
• Type 4 is kinky, or very tightly curled, with a clearly visible curl pattern• The hair is very wiry, very tightly coiled and very, very fragile
• Type 4 hair can range from fine/thin to wiry/coarse with lots and lots of strands densely packed together
• Type 4 hair has fewer cuticle layers than any other hair type, which means that it has less natural protection from the damage you inflict by combing, brushing, curling, blow-drying and straightening it
• Type 4 hair is known to shrink up to 75% of the actual hair length
YEP!!!! I KNOW...
