How do you know what type of hair you have?

As we all know, each person has a unique hair type, different from everyone else's and unrepeatable. From straight or curly hair, to hair that can change its texture and length depending on the weather.

We'll tell you how to determine your exact hair type below.

Hair type classifications and their descriptions.

Genetics is a key factor in determining a person's hair type, as the shape of the hair follicles dictates how hair grows. A more asymmetrical follicle can result in curlier hair, and vice versa.

1.- Latium

2.- Wavy

3.- Curly

4. Crespo

Limp:

This type of hair is characterized by being straight from root to tip, can be fine or thick, and tends to be the most resistant to falling out.

Hair care: It is recommended to wash it frequently with salt-free or oil-free oils; you can also use products to control frizz, which is very common in this type of hair.

Type 1: The hair is thin and has little volume.

Type 2: Its roots maintain sufficient volume and it is moderately thick

Type 3: It is resistant but curls easily.

 

Curly:

It is a middle ground between straight and curly hair, possessing characteristics of texture and shine, and the thicker the hair, the more difficult it is to control and care for.

Type 1: Hair that is usually fine, straight from the root to approximately eye level, from there on it tends to have loose and undefined waves.

Type 2: It is of medium thickness and usually has a more marked shape than the previous one, but with the same characteristics of the straight part up to the level of the eyes.

Type 3: This type of hair is the thickest of the wavy types; the curls are better defined since they often start from the crown.

 

Curly:

It is a type of hair that is most prone to damage or changes due to weather factors; this type of hair is usually distinguished by having an "S" shape.

Type 1: It has the characteristic of having S-shaped hair strands that are wider at the ends than at the root.

Type 2: Its roots are voluminous and somewhat dense, which generates an opacity factor; the curls are narrower and have a more marked spiral shape than the previous type.

Type 3: These are the thickest and most voluminous in this category, they tend to be more elastic and have a very marked spiral shape.

Curly:

This type of hair has a high density and fewer cuticle layers than the hair types mentioned above; it is very sensitive to damage even though it appears very thick.

Type 1: It is very thin and tends to get damaged, it has defined spirals that are smaller than the curly hair type.

Type 2: It is difficult to manage and shrinks easily; it tends to be somewhat stiff. The curls form a zigzag pattern and are less noticeable.

Type 3: These are the most difficult to comb because they do not retain moisture, but they are the most resistant in this category. The curls form less noticeable spirals than the previous type and it is the most unruly type of hair.

Remember that your hair is unique and beautiful in its own way and we have to learn to love it just as it is.
