Curly Hair Types


Finding the products that will best suit your hair is simplified with the Blended Beauty hair types chart. The hair types are grouped, and listed under each group are products just right for that group of curls. Just find curls similar to yours and choose from the products listed!

Why is your hair curly and why are there different types of curls?

Hair curls based on the chemical bonds it has. The protein keratin makes up the hair shaft and it is made of amino acids. Long chains of amino acids form a helical structure. These structures will wrap around each other forming the hair shaft. One of the amino acids within the chains is called cysteine, which carries a sulphur group. These groups create sulphur bonds between the chains, causing bending of the protein. And the more sulphur bonds a hair shaft has, the more bending there will be and the more curly it is.

Different parts of your scalp can grow hair with more or less sulpher bonds, creating more than one hair type on your head. The texture of the curl depends on the contents of the hair cortex. The cortex is made of ortho cortex and para cortex. Para cortex is strong, durable and shiny. Ortho cortex is more porous, less durable, and more bendable. Curly hair has more ortho cortex, and the amount present can greatly affect the hair type. The more ortho cortex the hair has, the more textured it is and the more fragile it is. This is why curly hair needs more TLC and can be easily damaged.

- The Exception -


Dry wavy Hair

The exception to the rule!
Usually the looser the curl, the less textured the hair and the softer it is. But that is not always the case. This is a perfect example of loose curl with highly textured hair. It is thick, fairly course and dry, but has big loose curls and waves. So each hair type can come in different textures. Sometimes type 4 hair can be very fine and silky, with super tight kinks. This eg. is a textured BB1 but would use product from the BB3 group.
