Hair Type 3
Posted by Lil 
Type 3 hair consists of curls that range from slight to very curly. They are defined and give the impression that if you were to sever a group of curls from their roots and attach them to a legless pogo stick– it would still work just fine (so basically this hair type is generally very bouncy). Before we get into the sub-categories, let’s look at some general facts and interesting points to note about curly hair:

Before we get into the sub-categories, let’s look at some general facts and interesting points to note about curly hair:
- Elasticity is lower in black curly hair and higher in light coloured hair. The better the elasticity – the stronger the hair.
- Tends not to hold its natural oils so well leading to dry/frizzy hair
- Sealing in moisture and maintaining style can be hard to balance
- Locking in moisture should be on your priority list when it comes to taking care of your curls
Type 2 hair lays relatively close to the head and doesn’t bounce like type 3 hair does. The waves range from very slight to a more defined 'S' shape. Because straight - wavy hair needs less moisture than textured hair, less is more when it comes to deep conditioning. If your wavy hair is fine deep conditioners can be your best friends. Applying them to hair that's been washed with warm water allows for the nutrients to be absorbed more readily as mild heat (applied in the right way i.e hair irons are not mild heat) causes your hair cuticles to open up. Wavy hair doesn't need conditioning as much as curly or coily hair so use Hug My Hair butters sparingly concentrating on the ends (the eldest parts of your hair that tends to dry out the most). Also with wavy hair you can get away with not washing it every day. Over washing can lead to dry scalp and dandruff...and no body wants dandruff! But if you have fine hair and by the end of the day your hair feels oily and you use styling products on a daily basis then you should wash your hair daily! Type 2a hair is easy to handle, and often has sheen. Use products that are light and don’t weigh your hair down. When washing your hair use a gentle cleanser that is sulphate free and finish with a silicone free conditioner. This will help maximise body whilst keeping your hair light. A celebrity with Type 2a hair is Emma Stone (the lucky girl that got to act with Ryan Gosling in Crazy Stupid Love <envy> ). Type 2b hair has waves that are more 's' shaped and has a bit more of a wavy pattern than 2a. It is a little more resistant to styling than 2a hair is and also has a tendency to frizz. Washing this type of hair would follow the same advice as that for 2a hair except that your conditioner should be moisturising as well as light weight. A celebrity with 2b hair is Mila Kunis. Type 2c hair can have under layers of straight hair or even curls and ringlets. This type of hair can frizz easily and is the most resistant to styling within this category. Your cleansers should be more on the creamy side and your conditioners should be frizz-reducing. It has been recommended that people with dry wavy hair should let their hair air dry, and to add extra moisture and shine - rub a little of your recommended hair butter into your hands and smooth over your wet/damp hair gently.
