Types of Curly Hair – Which Type Are You?

Gambar
Curly hair is notorious for being high maintenance, but we curlies know there is nothing sexier than rocking ‘em curls! But did you know that when we say “curly,” we are generalizing a large category of hair type having many sub categories?  Yes, curly is used interchangeably for wavy, curly and coil-y.  Knowing your hair type will enable you to choose more suitable products and not be misled by marketing gimmicks. But what makes curly hair so different? Curly hair is the driest form of hair. This is because the naturally produced hair oils (sebum) cannot trickle down to the tip of the hair strand due to the coiled physical structure of the strand. So we need to rely on external hydration and emollients. Curl pattern is determined by how evenly the two halves of a hair strand grow . When fiber grows faster on one side and not another, a spiral is formed along the cuticle of the hair strand.

I really don’t need  to color my hair, I don’t have any grays, and based off of other family members, I don’t think I will start to get any until I’m close to age 50. My dad really isn’t very gray at age 51, and I still don’t think my mom is at age 50. Crazy, right? As a makeup artist, I have always had a love for the art that comes with hair color and makeup. For myself, I really have never done much to my hair besides darken it for a richer color. Highlights never seem to flatter me, and I would get bored with my natural medium-brown color, so darkening it was always my preference. The problem with color is that it is really hard to stop coloring your hair once you start. After a few weeks the color fades, and you are left with hair lighter than when you started. It’s really a trap, and best to be avoided for as long as poss...
