Hair Type 3-Curly hair
As you read from hair types and analysis post that this hair type is categorized in 3a, 3b and 3c hair curly as it name goes and it normally but not in all cases a ‘Z’ pattern curls. It is also categorized in a, b and c. Curly hair can be acquired in many ways but it can never be permanent, also curly hair can be made straight and this can only last for a while because the hair will still grow out to its normal state. Curly hair have different need during different season like during the winter it requires a lot more conditioning, shampooing e.t.c to prevent it from dryness which will definitely lead to breakage but unlike the winter the reverse is the case in summer which means it need less products and if a lot of products is used in curly hair during the summer might lead to frizzing, so take note!. Curly hair absorbs a lot of water especially type 3c and can break easily, 3c has the most tight curl of this hair type, 3a have a looser curl, 3b has a tighter curls than 3a. But this type of hair is very lovely because it keep a little shine but not like straight hair.
