Curl Basics
Know Your Curl Type
Understanding your curl type is the first step to achieving healthy, beautiful curls. Each curl pattern has unique characteristics and requires specific care techniques.
TYPE 01
Wavy
2A · 2B · 2C
Wavy hair has a natural S-shaped pattern that falls between straight and curly. It tends to be more prone to frizz and benefits from lightweight styling products.
TYPE 02
Curly
3A · 3B · 3C
Curly hair forms defined spiral curls with volume and bounce. This curl type requires moisture-rich products and gentle handling to maintain curl definition.
TYPE 03
Coily
4A · 4B · 4C
Coily hair has tight zig-zag patterns with maximum shrinkage. It needs intense hydration and protective styling to retain moisture and length.

"Scalp oils travel down straight hair more easily, which is why curly hair tends to dry out faster."
Hair Structure

Porosity
Hair porosity is the ability of your hair to absorb and retain moisture. Understanding your hair's porosity will help you choose the right products for your hair type.
Absorbs Fast
But Loses Moisture Quickly
High porosity hair absorbs moisture quickly, but it also loses moisture just as fast. This means your hair needs consistent hydration to stay healthy.
- Absorbs water quickly
- Dries quickly
- Often looks frizzy and puffy
- Prone to damage
- Avoid high heat
- Use oils or serums to lock in moisture
- Do regular treatments
- Use intensive conditioning products
Absorbs Slowly
But Retains Moisture Longer
Low porosity hair absorbs moisture slowly, but once it does, it retains it for a longer period. This means your hair is naturally more resistant to moisture loss.
- Absorbs water slowly
- Dries slowly
- Often looks shiny
- Resistant to damage
- Thorough cleansing
- Use heat to help absorption
- Avoid heavy products
- Use lightweight products

Simple routine that works
Cleanse and Condition
Use a sulfate-free shampoo to wash the scalp, focusing on hydration. Follow with a conditioner, detangling with fingers or a wide-tooth comb while the hair is soaked.
Apply Leave-in Products
Apply products to soaking wet hair to prevent frizz. Start with a leave-in conditioner, followed by a curl cream for moisture, and finish with a gel or mousse for hold.
Style and Define
Use a brush or finger coils to define curls. Use the scrunching technique to encourage curl formation.
Dry
Use a microfiber towel or cotton t-shirt to plop (wrap hair on top of the head) to remove excess moisture. Air dry or use a hair dryer with a diffuser attachment, focusing on roots for volume.
Break the Cast
Once hair is 100% dry, it may feel stiff from the gel. Scrunch out the crunch using your hands or a few drops of hair oil to make curls soft and bouncy.
