Everyone has different hair type, texture and growth rate. The sooner you know this the better as it will help you concentrate more on taking care of your hair. Whatever you do don’t compare your hair with others as this will lead to discouragement.
I stumbled upon this natural hair chart on the internet and I thought I should share it with you guys. I have been natural for the last 3 years but I don’t know what type my hair is, but for those who’re interested in knowing their hair type here is a chart to guide you.
The natural hair type chart will help you determine whether your hair is wavy, straight, kinky or curly. To do this you need to look at your hair strand and compare with the hair types chart.
The scale goes from 1, 2(a-c), 3(a-c), 4(a-c).
- Type 1 – straight hair
- Type 2 – wavy hair
- Type 3 – curly hair
- Type 4 – kinky/coily hair
