There are four hair types based on curl pattern.: 1 (straight), 2 (wavy), 3 (curly), and 4 (coily/kinky).

True, there is much more to hair than its type. Porosity, density, and elasticity, for instance, are all important factors in understanding natural hair growth.

But, having an idea of your hair type can help you get the best out of your hair. It can guide you as you seek out natural hair care products that are designed specifically for your hair.
