Hair Types: Decoded
Type 1: Straight Hair
The DL: Your hair dries straight without a bend, curl or wave. Straight hair trends to be slightly oilier as it’s easier for the sebum (an oily, waxy substance your skin produces) to travel down your lengths.
Type 2: WAVY HAIR
The DL: Hair dries with a slight curl or ‘S’ shape. Wavy hair comes in a variety of forms, and can
range from loose locks to defined waves.
Type 3: Curly Hair
The DL: Think tight ringlets or corkscrew patterns. Natural oils have a harder time travelling down the strands, so curly hair tends to be more dry.
Type 4: Coily Hair
The DL: Hair shrinks when it dries, and has dense spirals and zigzag patterns. Coily hair tends to lack moisture and is very dry and fragile.
