4B hair bends rather than curls. Instead of wrapping into a spiral, each strand changes direction at sharp angles, tracing a Z down its length, and the result reads as dense and cloud-like rather than as visible individual coils. Those angles are the whole story of this hair type. They are why it looks fuller … Read more

4A hair forms tight, springy coils roughly the width of a crochet needle, and the coil traces a visible S rather than a smooth spiral. It is the first pattern in type 4, denser than anything in type 3 and more defined than anything above it in type 4. It is also the hardest code … Read more

3C hair forms tight corkscrew curls roughly the width of a pencil, packed densely enough that the eye reads texture rather than individual curls. It carries more volume than any other type 3 pattern and loses about half its length to shrinkage. It also sits on the busiest boundary on the chart. More people search … Read more

A great hair day can feel like a superpower, instantly boosting how you feel about yourself. It’s an experience that goes far beyond simple vanity; it’s deeply tied to our identity and self-perception. When your hair looks good, you often feel more prepared to face the world with confidence. This connection between our hair and … Read more

3B hair forms springy ringlets roughly the circumference of a permanent marker, tighter than a 3A spiral and looser than a 3C corkscrew. The curls start at or near the root, pack closely enough to read as a full head of volume, and hold their shape without much persuasion. The pattern is easy to recognise … Read more

3A hair forms loose spiral curls roughly half an inch to an inch across, about the width of a piece of sidewalk chalk. The curl wraps around itself rather than zigzagging on a flat plane, which is what puts it in type 3 rather than type 2. It is the first curl pattern on the … Read more

2A hair is the loosest wave on the typing chart. It sits flat at the roots, opens into a shallow S from the mid-lengths down, and elongates back toward straight as the day goes on. It is a wave pattern, not straight hair that happens to bend. That distinction decides which shelf of the shop … Read more
