Wavy hair: understanding to take care of it

Everything you need to know about wavy hair.

Curl shape and hair thickness can vary. We talk about wavy hair, but in reality, one type of wavy hair is not the same as another.

Some hairdressers and hair stylists have even categorized different types of hair to better differentiate them. This ranges from type 1A to type 4C. The number indicates whether the hair is straight, wavy, curly, or frizzy. The letter indicates the hair texture. For wavy hair, this ranges from 2A to 2C.

2A: Straight roots with very slight S-shaped curls. Not very voluminous.

2B: Straight root with more pronounced waves

2C: hair wavy from the roots. Not curly but very voluminous compared to the other two types.

You can sometimes find this classification on shampoos or hair care products.

Taking care of your wavy hair

In absolute terms, this classification is not very useful for taking care of your hair on a daily basis. In fact, it is mainly the nature (dry, oily, brittle) of your wavy hair that will guide your care choices.

Wavy hair can face the exact same issues as straight and curly/frizzy hair, including excess oil and dry ends. If you're looking for recipes for homemade hair masks, we recommend our article right here: homemade hair mask
