Not all curly hair is the same and different levels of curliness require different approaches to haircare.
Curly hair can be level: 2(a,b,c), 3(a,b,c) or 4(a,b,c).
As your curly hair increases in number and levels it becomes more difficult to straighten and the hair is often dryer.
Here is a simplified understanding of curly hair grading.
Level 2= Wavy hair.
A level 2 hair is that gentle curl you will see hair "S" shaped.
2 a = gentle S shape. This is where I find people try to use curl enhancer products to create this wave.
2 b = gentle S shape, but more wave than the 2a curl. Again, you may find curl enhancers increase this curl. My sister has a 2b curl. This hair also straightens well.
2 c = waves and curls- this is where you start to see some ringlets forming. Many people try to attain 2c curls and view this as the "perfect" amount of curls to have.
Level 3 hair is considered to be curly instead of wavy.
Think of the hair like little coils or springs.
3 a curly hair are curly ringlets but mainly curly without a lot of waves. The curls will spring up when pulled down. (I have some 3a curls)
3b curly hair is an even tighter hair coil. (Halle's natural hair type). I have some 3 b curls as well. My curly girl also has some 3b curls.
3c curly hair is tightly coiled curls, but still coiled like ringlets. I love this hair type. My curly girl has this hair type as well.
Level 4 curls have a different shape- the hair can be extremely coiled, but it can also be "kinky", or shaped liked the like little letter z's. This hair type is often brittle and can break really easily.
4a- The hair still has the coil or very tight ringlet look, but it sticks to your head, or springs up. This hair makes great coils, or locks.
4b hair is even more tightly coiled or kinky and even more delicate. This makes for beautiful natural hair. I love people who celebrate their natural 4b+ curls.. so beautiful.
4c hair is considered the curliest. If you have this hair type your hair is very delicate, it takes a LONG time to grow and it's very kinky. This hair type is also extremely beautiful. It is more difficult to comb through and can become very easily knotted or tangled.
