5/7/2023 0 Comments Springy curlsWhile frizz is always a concern with Type 3 curls, 3B curls are even more prone to the dryness that leads to frizz and breakage. With a springier, more ringlet-like appearance, Type 3B curls have a diameter about the size of a marker. And like always, hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! This curl type can handle heavier moisture than Type 2s, but don’t overdo it – try light and medium weight products to see what works best for you. As all Type 3 curls are, 3As are highly prone to frizz, so make sure you’re not touching your hair too much after you style it. The diameter of this type is about the size of sidewalk chalk. These large, loose curls can almost look like waves, but they have a defined loop and curl that’s more than an S wave. This type is highly likely to experience frizz, so make sure you’re using hydrating and defining products. Like all Type 2 curls, lightweight products are your friend – try leave-in conditioners, lightweight curl creams, light gels and mousseįrom loose loops to tight, springy ringlets, Type 3 encompasses a wide range of curls. 2C waves are sensitive to frizz and can easily get dehydrated, so make sure you use hydrating products and that you’re not over-washing. Smaller in diameter, these almost look like curls – but they’re not fully-formed ringlets. This type is made up of thick waves with well-defined S waves that start at the roots. Too much moisture and your waves will fall! 2C But why would you? This curl type should also stick to lightweight products that focus on definition and hold like our Flaxseed collection. The diameter is smaller and tighter, making it more difficult to straighten than a 2A. Similar to 2A, this is wavy hair with more defined S waves that start about midway down your hair. Light curl creams and sprays like our Flaxseed Curl Defining Mist and mousse (like our Nourish & Moisture Coconut Milk Mousse) will be your best option rather than gels. Since this type is typically made up of fine strands and lacks volume at the root, lightweight products will help define your waves without weighing them down. 2A curls are loose waves that can be easily straightened and have a large diameter. If you have 2A waves, you might have straightened your hair your whole life because you didn’t know you had wavy hair. With a definitive S pattern, the hair lies closer to the scalp and tends to prefer lightweight products. When you think of Type 2 curls, think classic “beach hair”.
