Knowing not just your category but also your subcategory is the key to getting the most bang out of the bucks you’re spending on styling products, shampoo, and conditioner. For example, even if most of your hair is 3B according to Walker’s system, you might find that the hair around your temples or at your hairline is 3A. One thing to note is that your curl pattern might not be consistent throughout your whole head. That’s useful because two people with curly hair might have very different challenges if one person’s hair is more tightly curled. On top of that, he adds letters (A, B, and C) that indicate how tight or loose your curl is. Walker uses the broad categories listed above, but assigns them numbers: straight is 1, wavy is 2, curly is 3, and coily is 4. Walker’s system has plenty of critics and is by no means perfect, but we’re going to focus on it here because it’s the most widely-known way of classifying hair. The most popular system for categorizing hair was created by Andre Walker, Oprah’s longtime stylist, in a book called Andre Talks Hair!. But to really help you make the most of your hair, we’re going to have to get more specific. These are the hair types you’re probably already familiar with. Here are the broad categories everyone’s hair falls into: That said, certain medical treatments, such as chemotherapy, can permanently alter the appearance of your hair. Heat from blow dryers and flat irons and chemical treatments like relaxers can temporarily change your curl pattern, but as your hair goes through its stages of growth, your natural curl pattern will reappear. The shape of your hair shaft, and therefore how curly or straight your hair is, is in your DNA. Bet you didn’t see that one coming.) Your curl pattern is determined by the shape of your hair shaft-curly hair is oval-shaped, straight hair is round, and coily hair is flat. In general, your hair type refers to how curly or straight it is, which is called your “curl pattern.” (If you have straight hair, your curl pattern is…straight. That’s because your hair type will help you figure out what kinds of styling products you should be using to maximize your hair’s health and appearance. “Of course I do,” you might be saying in response to that, “it’s curly!” You’d be right to say that-curly is a general type of hair.īut getting more specific than that is a necessary step toward making your hair the best it can be. We did out DNA test and, although my results showed 33% nigerian, my husband's was 31% bantu, and I'm guessing that's where their hair texture came from.If you’re like a lot of guys, you probably don’t know what type of hair you have.
No one seems to understand, but this ain't 4c!!!! Everyone who claims 4c hair has hair so different from this hair type. When unstretched, you can see only millimeters. So twisting helped her grow two inches around and three inches on top.when stretched. She's two and looks like an infant because she is nearly baldheaded.
The baby.I started twisting her lil hair as soon as I could grip it.

And I don't know how how to cornrows or style hair. I thought of locking it but her hair attracts so much lint and dust it seems abnormal. Hair said "nope." ALL broke off like she had a bad perm. two passes) and was very careful (this is how i grew my hair). I grew the oldest's hair with bantu knots but recently I GENTLY straightened it with a flat iron on three occassions (medium heat. Neither my husband's nor my own hair is like this so we sent knkw what to dk. So, like a clump will naturally tear out any nearby hair that is "unclumped." As you can see, it clumps in tiny clumps that looks like it was gone over with a curlmaker sponge. If left alone, meaning not put into a semi-tight styke, it curls so much that it tears itself out by the roots. My two daughters' hair is like this and I struggle to get it to grow.
