2B hair forms a defined S wave that starts around the mid-length and repeats down to the ends. The roots stay comparatively flat, the strands sit at medium width, and the pattern is consistent enough to be recognisable without product. It is the middle of the wavy band, which is the reason most of the … Read more
2C hair is the waviest end of type 2. The S starts at the scalp rather than partway down, the strands are wider than 2A or 2B, and the pattern occasionally tightens into a loose spiral near the ends without ever becoming a proper curl. It is also the type that sits on a border. … Read more
1B hair is straight hair with body. It falls without a defined wave, the ends bend under slightly, and it holds a curl for most of a day. That last part is the one behaviour that separates it from 1A, which drops a set within about two hours. Two different things get labelled 1B, and … Read more
1A hair is the straightest code on the hair typing chart. It air dries flat from root to tip with no bend, no wave and no natural lift at the crown. The code describes shape and nothing else, which is why two people who both read as 1A can need completely different products. Most guides … Read more
1C hair is straight hair with wide, coarse strands and enough natural bend to be mistaken for a wave.

It also sits on the most contested line in the whole typing chart. … Read more

A skin tone chart reads in two directions. Depth runs down the chart, from fair through light, medium and tan to deep, and describes how light or dark your skin appears. Undertone runs across it, warm, cool, neutral or olive, and describes the color direction beneath the surface. Your position needs both. Two people at … Read more

The most widely used are porcelain, alabaster, ivory, fair, light beige, beige, sand, honey, golden, almond, olive, tan, caramel, amber, bronze, chestnut, mahogany, umber, chocolate, cocoa, mocha, espresso and ebony. They run from the lightest visible depth to the deepest, and every one of them … Read more
The colors that look good on you are set by three things: your undertone (warm, cool or neutral), your depth (how light or deep your overall coloring is), and your contrast (how far apart your skin, hair and eyes sit). Warm coloring suits camel, coral, olive and tomato red. Cool coloring suits emerald, cobalt, raspberry … Read more
