What is Hair Texture?

Hair texture refers to the diameter, shape, and pattern of your individual hair strands. It's not just about straight, wavy, curly, or coily; it encompasses a spectrum of variations within these categories. This guide will help you identify your specific texture based on:

• Diameter: This describes the thickness of your individual hair strands – fine, medium, or coarse.
• Shape: The cross-section of your hair strand determines its basic pattern: round (straight), oval (wavy), or elliptical (curly/coily).
• Pattern: This refers to the overall shape and arrangement of your hair strands – straight, wavy (loose, defined, or S-shaped), curly (loose, defined, or tight), or coily (loose, defined, or tight). We explore the nuances within these categories, from 2A to 4C and beyond.
