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...

What Type of Curly ?

So as we all know, no ones hair is the same. So finding out about your hair and what your hair needs will benefit you in the long run. You will know what products to use which ones you need to stay away from etc. So There are 5 Very Important categories to understanding your hair. They are: Curl Pattern, Length, Porosity, Width, and Density. Sounds a bit like science huh lol. I will create a separate post for each category, and give you enough information about each so you can find out what type of curly you have....
