Curly Hair Types
Here at British Curlies we think the first step to understanding and achieving the best out of your curls is to simply first know your curl type. Are you a Type 2, Type 3 or Type 4? Just so you know Type 1 is straight hair which we know nothing about :o) Andre Walker, who has won numerous Emmys for his work on the Oprah Winfrey Show, has worked out this hair classification system.It has been accepted as the best hair classification system created to date. For more information about hair types and how to make the best of each type, check out his book, Andre Talks Hair

Type 3 Curly
by British Curlies
With curly hair, there is a definite loopy “S” pattern. Pluck out a hair, stretch it out. Notice the curvy lines. Looks like s stretched-out Slinky, doesn’t it? Most people think curly hair is coarse, but actually it is usually baby soft and very fine in texture – there’s just a lot of it.
Type 4 Curly Kinky
by British Curlies
If your hair falls into the Type 4 category, then it is kinky, or very tightly curled. Generally, Type 4 hair is very wiry, very tightly coiled and very, very fragile. Like Type 3 hair, Type 4 hair appears to be coarse, but it is actually quite fine, with lots and lots of these strands densely packed together. Healthy Type 4 hair won’t shine, but it will have sheen. It will be soft to the touch and will pass the strand test with ease. It will feel more silky than it will look shiny.

When shampooing, remember that the thicker the hair, the longer you need to rinse in order to remove all the shampoo.
