Curl Pattern

Your Curl pattern defines what type of curly you have. It shows the amount of wave or curl your hair has. They are 4 types and 3 subtypes. So lets begin.


Type 1 is Straight hair



Type 2 is Wavy Hair

Under Type 2 you have
2A- Wavy Swavy -slightly "s" waved hair that sticks close to the head     
2B- Wavy Curvy - the wave or curl forms throughout the hair in the shape of the letter "s". It has a bit more wave in it than Type 2a has     
2C- Wavy Whirly-Type 2c is thicker, coarser wavy hair that is composed of a few more actual curls, as opposed to just waves





Then you have

Type 3 Curly Hair

Under Type 3 you have

3A-Curly Twirly- curls show a definite loopy "S" pattern. Curls are well-defined and springy. Curls are naturally big, loose and often very shiny
3B-Curly Spirally-  have well-defined, springy, copious curls that range from bouncy ringlets to tight corkscrews. 3b curls' circumference are Sharpie size.
3C- Curly Coily- has voluminous, tight curls in corkscrews, approximately the circumference of a pencil or straw. The curls can be either kinky, or very tightly curled, with lots and lots of strands densely packed together.

And the Last Type is Type 4  Coily Hair

In this Type we have

4A- Coily Springy-is tightly coiled hair that has an "S" pattern.  it has a definite curl pattern. The circumference of the spirals is close to that of a crochet needle
4B- Coily Crimpy- has a "Z" pattern, less of a defined curl pattern. Instead of curling or coiling, the hair bends in sharp angles like the letter "Z".
4C- Coily Ziggly-composed of curl patterns that will almost never clump without doing a specific hair style. It can range from fine/thin/super soft to wiry/coarse with lots of densely packed strands.














This is just a brief description that I found for each Type, If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask...
