Texture Typing
A person's curl type is only part of the equation to determine Texture Type. Other factors are equally important in determining which products, cuts and styling techniques will work best and how your hair behaves. Texture Typing includes porosity, density, thickness and length.
Hair Type
Determining your curl pattern is a starting point to finding the right products and styles for your hair. NaturallyCurly’s curl type system focuses on types 2 (wavy), types 3 (curly) and types 4 (coily). The sub classifications - from A to C - are based upon the diameter of the wave, curl or coil.
