WHAT IS HAIR TYPE 3 | Different Types Of Curly Hair | What Type Are My Curls ?

[@muskndusk]

Please make a video showing how to encourage 3A hair to go into its curls. I have mostly 3A hair which has been in a ponytail for most of the past two years so has lost much of its naturally curling tendencies. It's so nice to find a straight-haired stylist who understands curly hair.

[@StephanieRZ]

As a type 3 curly too, definitely could do so by having hair be wet & styling in sections, with a leave-in conditioner (combing with a curly tangle teezer or Denman brush), either oil and/or curl cream, then there’s a fingercoiling method which is simply noticing where your curl naturally curls & turning in the direction of the curl (mimicking it). And then scrunching with gel. Can use a t-shirt or microfiber towel to scrunch any excess product & water. It’s a couple of steps but it’s really helpful & effective. Using sufficient product to hydrate its curls. Going by sections when styling gets easier/quicker the more it’s done too.

@hannahkae🥰 does a braid work to not have the hair stretched

[@homiecrab]

@hannahkae🥰 Alr thanks I’ve been doing something like that and it’s working

[@omshiv639]

​@hannahkae8345i always wear my hair in a ponytail, will it damage it? please reply

[@magalyrodriguez4638]

I’m between 2C & 3A 👩🏻‍🦱

[@muskndusk]

I think I have elements of 2B to 3B. It's so confusing, isn't it?

[@IOwnKazakhstan]

same, I've always wanted type 2b hair so hopefully it won't be too hard to find some way to get from 2c-3a to 2b.

[@tac0_6]

Lucky. i wish my curls weren’t so small

[@arbiterdream]

Me too

[@Mohammad_Naqi]

Same

[@mgoncalves5596]

You are so right! I have 2c, 3a and 3b hair. It just depends the area of my head 😆

[@belindachappell9875]

Best explanation of each type I’ve ever seen.

[@Ash_Queen16]

I agree

[@kimmiesBitsnBobs]

I’m between a 3b-3c….. but mostly 3b.!!!! I LOVE this

[@louannbruce6252]

I definitely find this subject interesting. You were very detailed and focused without being preachy and repetitive. Furthermore, your relaxed gestures and confident, knowledgeable explanations made the presentation effective and enjoyable. In my 60s, everything about me is changing, including my hair. I’m having to relearn how to select and style my clothes as well as figuring out the changes in my hair and how to style it as well. The struggle is real, but your videos have helped me gain a better understanding. Thank you!🙏

[@HailHydreigon]

Exceptional explanation! My hair is curly and straight too, I wondered why, now I know. Thank you!

[@Sarah-ic4yu]

Can you go over styling different hair textures within each category? Like from my understanding, curl pattern is defined by the actual shape of each hair follicle, so curly hair strands are more oval shaped than circular. But curl patterns don’t really address the texture, meaning the actual girth/circumference of each strand. I have very fine textured hair (medium to high density though) but I lean towards 3a curls. It’s really difficult to find products that help my curls without weighing down my wimpy little strands haha.

[@StephanieRZ]

Aw thank you very much, I used a picture on my phone as comparison (video on a laptop) and was definitely tighter in spiraled curl than 3A, and was exactly similar in texture to 3B (just as I have known), though even have healthier, curlier formation than 3B' picture, respectively. And it was nice how you mentioned 3B does have spiral curls that can have corkscrews, without being type 3C because it's true. We also do tend to have a variety of curl formation as mentioned, overall, completely accurate, and well done overview! It's appreciated :)

[@darmarod]

This video was very informative! Thank you!

[@berryreadable]

Type 3B, baby! Great video!

[@elizabethmartin758]

What type hair products do you recommend for type 3B/C medium to long hair.

[@LadieBjj]

People really don’t know how to see hair. I clearly have a type 3 hair and people call me 2B. You showed me that I am right. I have ring curls like it was finger coiled and some that are loser.

[@DancingBugBoi]

i posted on the hairtype subreddit to just see what type (i had a vauge idea but i just wanted to see) and i had somebody tell me i had 2b hair all because i have flat roots, which is likely because i have long hair. My hair spirals.

[@DontCareBeare.5791]

3B hair here. Good to know. Thank you 😊 💓

[@Sofritho]

I thought I had some 3a in the back but it appears I have 3b all around. Love my hair.

[@saramamdouh3156]

I was confused between 3a and 3b then I realized I have mixture hair. some even is wavy not curly!

[@jamieott7080]

Wow . Okay so I assumed because my hair is bushy that I must be 3c or higher, but now I’m realizing that I’m 2a in front and 3a every where else. I’ve been confused about my hair type for years… all I know is I got to layer it with a creme product, usually shea based, along with mousse to get that curl and reduce the volume. Haven’t figured out how to get root lift without too much pulling or hairspray which I hate. The worst part is trying to get uniform hair, which I think is when curls look amazing… it’s way easier to go straight then straight to curly. My front 2a is so lank it’s a joke to get them curled. Usually though I give up and just layer it all with product and weight down the back to match my front. I’m biracial and have lank ass curls. Curly girls are lucky. It is really hard going straight to curly.

[@88pynogrl]

I love you and your channel!!!♥️I learned so much from these 4 videos about hair types!

[@MikeDeCanter]

❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰

[@michelleslifeonrepeat]

Thanks. You explained this very well and now I know what type I’m working with.

[@knatural7754]

I have type 2c,3a using a denman brush helps force my hair to curl up

[@ss-ck1mi]

I think I have between 3a and 3b but mostly when it's dry it looks like type 3b hair soooo, thank you for explaining it to us! ❤

[@tinadedace8492]

Thanks so much,Mike for this very informative video!

[@419iam]

Great videos. I watched all four videos and I might be losing my marbles or something because I didn’t see my hair type in any video really. I will say that I am African American but my hair must be from another planet😂! My hair is always, always dry with some super curly areas, some loose curl areas when wet! The worst put is that I’ve tried products across the board marketed for various nationalities and at 50 + years have yet to find the perfect combo of shampoo/conditioner/lite oils/heavy oils because my hair tricks me consistently. I have purchased top of the line products down to drugstore products and after a few tries I’m back on the hunt. So I walk around basically with two braids pretty much daily and yep every time I’m combing my hair my family says the sink always look like a full head of hair has just been shaved off of somebody’s head! Yet my hair grows super fast. When damp I braid it up so it’s about shoulder length but maybe once every few years I will let a stylist use the blow dryer and a low temp flat iron and as always it stretches out to my low back area and they are always shocked at the length and my damaged ends which I always allow them to trim. I really enjoyed your videos but all I know is that my hair is mad weird, frizzy and just does it’s own thing. My Mom took care of my hair for me from youth to maybe mid twenties then she basically got to the point where she refused and she’s been a licensed beautician (retired now) since forever! She loved how my hair looked whenever she would do it for hair shows over the years a day or two later she’d just shake her head and throw her arms to the heavens because I would either have to pull it up into a bun or my normal two braids 😂😂😂

[@juststop94]

I'm ethnically mixed, African American/Irish on mom's side, Southern Italian/Greek on dad's, and yes, I have at least 3 textures😂😂 One side has a whispy, soft curl, the other side curls up tighter, forget the crown, it's dry and I don't know what texture it is. My hair is cuckoo 🤪

[@Razzy-sr4oq]

Oh my god, finally someone who has some Mediterranean blood that gets it! I'm mostly Greek and its impossible to get professional hair care.

[@SaraElIdrissi-i8n]

MY CROWN IS DRY AF TOO IDK WHY 😭 im also mediterranean

[@juststop94]

@@SaraElIdrissi-i8n I think the crown stays dry because of sleeping on it. Try moisturizing your hair at night, twist it up and put on a silk bonnet or scarf. Another thing with my hair is my ends are puffy 😭😭😅

[@amberhenry4393]

[@TTT69304]

By look im a 3B. I definitely rely on products for coily hair though.

[@mackenzie779]

3a-3b the majority is 3a but a lot of the bottom is 3b

[@May-or-May-not]

I have a mix between mainly type 1 a/b hair and some type 3a. Which is really weird and has confused hairstylists multiple times. My hair is mainly super silky and straight and just won't take any curl. But I do have a couple of random corkscrews. Mainly the thin hair around my face or at the back of my neck. It's so weird.

What ingredients should I look for in 3c hair cream

[@yeahaboutthatthough3656]

This hairtype system was created for black women's hair by a black man named Andre Walker. He is Oprah Winfrey's hairstylist for 30 years. When he explained it to us, it was very clear that most black women fall into the Type 3 to Type 4. This man here has misinformed you. Don't believe me, believe Google. There is a reason. You will see mostly African American women when you Type in Type 3 hair. It's very unlikely you are a Type 3 anything.

[@FAQIvan91]

Yeah I'm definitely a type 3a Or maybe also 3b???

[@angelaharris1112]

Cool! I'm not type 2c, I'm 3a!

[@yeahaboutthatthough3656]

I challenge you to Google examples of other women with type 3a hair. It will become immediately obvious why you, in fact, do NOT, have type 3a hair. He is very ignorant. You are definitely in the 2's.

[@preetamsarmah9040]

Could you recommend some products for 3A, 3B

[@Mia-de8xf]

I like having loose curls so I only rake products in and use the praying hands technique I think I'm 2c tho

[@barbararodrigues7211]

Hi!! Cool video. A question: is it normal to have the all the 3 types in my hair? Kisses

[@MikeDeCanter]

yes you can have a mixture or a b and c on your head x

[@NotSythe.9yago]

@@MikeDeCanter For me the front of my head is tight spirals and I can’t seem to tell if it’s type 4 or type 3 💀 Top and sides are mostly 3c, some 3b, and then I only have like 3 or 5 of mine that are 3a…. Any tips on how to get them all to be 3b..? 3c is really frustrating when you are trying to grow out your hair but you lose like 5 inches worth ( I’ve been dedicated to my hair growth and have been growing them for like a year to reach a curly afro) Im currently at 6 inches length but looks 1 inch because of much my strands curl Just how much more do I need to grow my hair until I get a curly aphro 😭

I thought wavy hair was an S shape, and curly hair is not an S but a spiral or ringlet from the root.
