Men's hair can be broadly categorized into four main types: straight, wavy, curly, and coily (or tightly curled). Each hair type has its own characteristics and requires specific care and styling. Understanding your hair type can help you choose the best haircuts and styling products for your hair.
Hair Types:
Straight Hair (Type 1):
This hair type lies flat against the head without any curl or wave. It can be further categorized into 1A (very fine), 1B (medium), and 1C (thick with more texture).
Wavy Hair (Type 2):
Wavy hair has a slight "S" shape and can range from loose waves (2A) to more defined waves that start closer to the roots (2C).
Curly Hair (Type 3):
Curly hair has more defined curls, ranging from loose curls (3A) to tighter, springy curls (3B).
Coily Hair (Type 4):
This type has tightly packed curls or coils that can be wiry or fine, with subtypes ranging from A to C.
Hair Thickness:
In addition to curl pattern, hair thickness (fine, medium, or coarse) also plays a role in how hair behaves and how it should be cared for.
