How do I know my hair type?
Beauty
Face
Eyelashes, eyebrows, mustache, beard. Although almost all hair on the human body is formed in the same way, when we talk about hair and explain its composition, we are referring exclusively to head hair. Hair is exactly that: the hair on the head.
91 percent of hair is composed of a fibrous protein called keratin, and if we look under a microscope we can see that its shape is similar to a cylindrical stem with a root called the hair follicle. That is where it is born, formed and grows.
The base of the root is dilated in the bulb (see image: hair follicle) which rests on the dermal papilla and surrounds it. All follicles or roots are formed before birth and there is no natural way to generate them once we leave our mothers’ wombs.
Discover Your Hair Type!
Straight Hair
Your hair is strong and shiny but doesn’t hold curls. This hair type tends to be oilier than dry. The advantage of straight hair is that the cuticle contains several layers, making it very resistant to damage. You would have to abuse your hair with excessive perms and dyes for it to look damaged.
There are three types of straight hair:
Fine and thin: It is soft and shiny.
Medium texture: With a lot of body, you can almost do whatever you want with this hair.
Thick: It is the most resistant to curls.
Wavy Hair
This hair type tends to be thick. You can see the ‘S’ shape in your hair. This hair type sticks to the scalp, even if you cut it in layers.
There are three types of wavy hair:
Fine and thin: This type you can straighten or curl easily.
Medium texture: Tends to «hug» the head. It is easy for it to frizz.
Thick: It is harder to style and frizzes easily.
Curly or Coily Hair
When we say curly hair, we imagine thick hair, but actually coily hair is very soft and fine. Curly hair does not have a smooth surface and the cuticle is not flat, so it is difficult to shine.
When wet it looks straight, but as soon as it begins to dry it becomes frizzy again. Humidity causes it to frizz.
If your hair is curly but healthy, it will have shine and look soft with smooth curls. If damaged, it will look dull, dry and with curls that are not very well defined.
Afro Hair
Afro hair is wiry, tightly coiled and very fragile. This hair type does not shine but feels silky. Although it may look strong, if you have this hair type you know that it is actually very fragile. It is the hair type with the fewest layers in the cuticles. This hair type is difficult to grow because it is so fragile. Every time you comb it, it breaks. But if you always keep it in braids and don’t comb it, it can grow. There are two types of afro hair:
With ‘S’ shape: Like curly hair, it has an ‘S’ shape, only it is much more coily. It retains moisture better.
With ‘Z’ shape: It is a less defined curl with a more wiry texture.
