What are the different curly hair types to choose from?

Let's begin by briefly reviewing the chemistry behind your curlicious curls. You are born with either naturally curly hair, or straight hair or wavy hair. The amount of curl, wave, or lack thereof, is dependent on the number of disulfide bonds between hair proteins found in the hair shaft; the greater the number of links, the curlier the hair, and the fewer the number of links, the straighter the hair.

Hair is primarily composed of keratin, a protein, which grows from the follicle. Keratins, and other proteins, are formulated in the cells of the hair follicle. All of the proteins become a part of the hair shaft and contain sulfur atoms. When two sulfur atoms pair up and bond, they form a disulfide bond. If the two sulfur atoms in the same protein are at a distance, and join to form the disulfide bond, the protein will bend. This is how your curls are created. There are four hair types for your choice.

Straight Hair

Straight hair such as virgin Peruvian straight hair reflects the most sheen. It is also the most resilient hair of all of the hair types. It is hard to damage and next to impossible to curl this hair texture. Because the sebum gently works its way from the scalp to the ends without the interference of curls or kinks, it is the most oily hair texture of all.

Wavy Hair

Wavy hair is more prone to frizz, anti frizz/humidity protective stylers are key for creating and keeping gorgeous waves. Curls has ideal stylers for this hair type, as they provides the most hold and frizz protection. Keep your fingers out of wavy hair like Brazilian deep wave weave, the more you tousle the more frizz you experience.

Curly Hair

Curly hair such as virgin curly Malaysian hair is the most temperamental hair type. If you apply too much styling product weighed down/greasy looking curls, apply too little styling product. The key to guaranteeing effortless, frizz free curls is proper styling product application. Always start with a fresh, clean palette on day. Cleanse, Condition, Moisturize, then apply your styling product of choice, following the recommended curls product application technique.

Kinky Curly Hair

Kinky curly hair is dry by nature, and therefore breaks easily, it needs added moisture, daily. Dry hair breaks…well moisturized hair is supple and has elasticity. The key to keeping these natural locks healthy, shiny, and beautiful is to moisturize every step of the way. Start with a creamy, sulfate free, moisturizing cleanser, follow suit with a super hydrating conditioner, prep with a rich moisturizer and style with a rich cream, full of natural oils and rich butters. Look for moisturizing humectants, natural conditioning agents, and exotic extracts to add moisture to these locks. Avoid mineral, and petrolatum oil and heavy waxes.
