What is your curl type? There are so many different shapes, sizes and textures to curls so they are broken down in to categories. In this video I explain all of the different hair patterns. It is very common to have a combination of two types of hair because things like density, length, porosity and over all health of your hair, play a factor in defining your curls.
Figuring out your hair type can get tricky but you should at least know if your hair falls under type 1,2,3 or 4 so you can find products that work best for your hair type.

That’s something

She needs to work on her terminology. Coarse hair is not synonymous with curl pattern. Coarse has to do with the circumference of the stand of hair. Many, if not most 4s, have fine hair. Thus, it must be handled with care to avoid breakage.

How about healthy hair? Does curl pattern really matter? This natural hair thing is moving towards ousting non curlies which are mainly 4s.

Exactly! My hair changes with the seasons. Spring and summer I have loose curls, and fall and winter I have tighter curls. So what does that mean for me?
Nea Mack says
I dont even know. But what I do know is I’m tired of seeing this “natural hair” trend becoming a for curlies only. Which is why I asked if curl patterns matter? I thought the focus should simply be on hair health and even how to get it there for your hair type.
Khaliah Sherman says
I always thought that the “natural hair movement” was all about embracing natural hair, and experiencing healthy hair.
