There is a lot to learn about the intriguing subjects of hair and beauty. Have you ever wondered why certain hairs are sleek, silky, or drier than others, or why others are curled or smooth?
We’ll examine the five distinct varieties of hair we have here.
Straight Hair:
Hair that has no natural curl or wave and falls flat on the head is referred to as straight hair. The hair’s natural oils can spread from the root to the tip, making it supple, manageable, and frequently shiny.
Wavy Hair:
Hair with a loose, laid-back texture and a soft, flowing curve is referred to as “wavy hair.” This type of hair lies halfway between curly and straight; it has a little curve instead of being straight or curly. After being wet, this hair appears straight, but after it dries, its length decreases.
Kinky Hair:
Because of its delicate texture, this type of hair may be both soft and coarse. It has tight curls and is naturally quite dry and spongy.
Curly Hair:
Due to its gentle texture, this hair type is among the most fragile. It is characterised by a ‘S’ shape that might have loose, bouncy spirals or tight curls. Because curly hair twists and bends and makes it difficult for the natural oils on the scalp to get down to the curls, people with curly hair may find that their hair is dryer than that of wavy hair.
Dry hair:
Anything devoid of moisture can be compared to dry hair. When your hair does not have enough moisture, dry hair occurs. This might make it look drab and frizzy and less shiny.
It is important to understand your hair type to choose the right products, styles, and care routines. For example, curly hair may require more moisture and gentle products, while straight hair may benefit from lightweight styling products.
Kinky hair may require special care to maintain its natural oils, and dry hair may need intense moisturizing treatments.
Keep in mind that hair can be a combination of types, such as wavy-curly or kinky-coily, and may change over time due to various factors like humidity, temperature, and styling habits.
