A Simple Guide to Wavy, Curly & Coily Hair
Understanding your curl type is the first step to loving and caring for your natural hair. Knowing your type helps you pick the right products, treatments, and styling techniques so your curls stay healthy, defined, and full of life.
The curl type system divides hair into three main categories: Wavy, Curly, and Coily (Afro). Each category is then broken into three sub types, based on your curl’s shape, tightness, and diameter.
Matching your hair to the curl chart below can help you figure out where your natural texture fits in. Once you know your type, it becomes much easier to understand which products, moisture levels, and styling methods will bring out the best in your hair.
But remember—no two curls are the same! Many people have a mix of textures across their head, and that’s completely normal. Your unique pattern is what makes your hair beautifully yours.
