Have you been struggling with haircare? The first step of a haircare routine is to know your hair. There are various hair types, each with unique hair care needs. Read on to learn more!
Welcome to Laksha Care, a premier dental clinic combining cutting-edge technology with a warm and welcoming ambiance. At Laksha Care, your needs and your hair always come first. So, let’s break down the various hair types -
1. Straight Hair (Type 1)
Straight hair is known for its sleek, smooth texture. This hair type typically lacks curls or waves, allowing it to lie flat and close to the scalp, which often leads to more shine as natural oils travel easily from root to tip. Straight hair is usually resistant to frizz but can sometimes appear limp or oily.
2. Wavy Hair (Type 2)
Wavy hair falls somewhere between straight and curly, featuring a subtle "S" shape. Wavy hair can range from loose waves to more defined, beachy curls. It tends to have more body than straight hair, with a natural texture that adds volume, but it may be prone to frizz, especially in humid conditions.
3. Curly Hair (Type 3)
Curly hair has a more pronounced curl pattern, forming tighter "S" or "spiral" shapes that create volume and bounce. Curly hair is often thicker and can be more prone to dryness, as the twists and turns make it harder for natural oils to reach from the scalp to the ends. This type of hair has a lot of movement and character, but it can also be more susceptible to frizz and requires extra moisture to maintain its shape.
4. Coily Hair (Type 4)
Coily hair, also known as kinky or afro-textured hair, has the tightest curl pattern, forming "Z" shapes or tight coils. This hair type is highly textured and dense, often appearing smaller and more compact due to shrinkage, even if it’s quite long when stretched out. Coily hair is generally very fragile and can be prone to dryness due to its compact structure, which prevents natural oils from traveling down the strands.
