WHAT IS MY TEXTURE? HOW DOES IT AFFECT MY CURLS?
Texture refers to the diameter of each individual hair strand.
Fine, medium and coarse.
Another way to look at it is referred to as surface texture. A more sensory description. As in silky (fine), thread like (medium), rough or glassy feeling (coarse).
Curls need WATER to MAINTAIN THEIR PATTERNS.
FINE HAIR: easily accepts water (porous)
MEDIUM HAIR: moderately accepts water (medium porosity)
COARSE HAIR: resists water (low porosity).
Curls also receive water from the atmosphere to continue to keep their form. Canadian weather is always changing. We also have extreme weather temperatures.
Our products are designed to work with the shifts in weather. Knowing your texture will guide you to the right product choice to achieve your best curls ever!
