There are many different hair types and characteristics we have to take into consideration before identifying our hair as a specific type. The texture (pattern) and the structure (thickness) are examples of it. Some hair shapes tend to have the same thickness level in common, but it is not a rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are going to show you the main examples of hair textures and its features. Take a look and think of which one is closer to your natural hair type:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"type-1\"><strong>Type 1<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"626\" height=\"417\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.metrobrazil.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/03\/pacified-girl-pink-pullover-straightens-her-hair_291650-143-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1347\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.metrobrazil.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/03\/pacified-girl-pink-pullover-straightens-her-hair_291650-143-1.jpg 626w, https:\/\/blog.metrobrazil.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/03\/pacified-girl-pink-pullover-straightens-her-hair_291650-143-1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 626px) 100vw, 626px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This category only includes completely straight hair.

Strands create very tight, little zig-zag curls immediately from the scalp and are susceptible to significant shrinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The coils of people with hair type 4A are dense, springy, and S-patterned, with a circumference of about the same as a crochet needle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Densely packed 4B strands can bend at severe angles like the letter Z. 4C textures are similar to 4B textures, but the tightly coiled strands are more brittle, with a very tight zig-zag pattern that can be difficult to see. This hair texture experiences the most shrinkage \u2014 up to 75 percent or more \u2014 compared to the others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"footnote_referrer\"><a role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" onclick=\"footnote_moveToReference_3786_1('footnote_plugin_reference_3786_1_1');\" onkeypress=\"footnote_moveToReference_3786_1('footnote_plugin_reference_3786_1_1');\" ><sup id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_3786_1_1\" class=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text\">[1]<\/sup><\/a><span id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_3786_1_1\" class=\"footnote_tooltip\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.allure.com\/gallery\/curl-hair-type-guide\"><span class=\"footnote_url_wrap\">https:\/\/www.allure.com\/gallery\/curl-hair-type-guide<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> jQuery('#footnote_plugin_tooltip_3786_1_1').tooltip({ tip: '#footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_3786_1_1', tipClass: 'footnote_tooltip', effect: 'fade', predelay: 0, fadeInSpeed: 200, delay: 400, fadeOutSpeed: 200, position: 'top center', relative: true, offset: [-7, 0], });<\/script><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-discover-your-natural-hair-pattern\"><strong>How to discover your natural hair pattern<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If even after reading about hair textures and shapes, you still have doubts, you can take a test to discover your hair pattern once and for all. You should start with freshly washed hair to discover your natural curl pattern.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To gain a better knowledge of your curly hair pattern, make sure your hair hasn&#8217;t been modified by styling equipment or products. Allow your hair to air dry without any product after it has been rinsed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your hair is dry, examine your curl pattern and try to spot the features mentioned above. Although it is possible to have multiple curl patterns, there will most likely be one dominating pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s also worth noting that coloring or heat styling your hair can have an impact on your curl pattern. Because heat-damaged strands may not return to their natural curl type, if you&#8217;ve been wearing your hair straight for a time, your new growth will reveal a more natural texture. Hair treatments can also be used to rejuvenate your curl pattern and bring it back to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After identifying what your hair type is, the process of transitioning to natural hair and taking care of it will be much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to visit <a href=\"https:\/\/metrobrazil.com\/collections\/hair-care\">Metro Brazil\u2019s website<\/a> to find the best Brazilian hair products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you enjoyed this article, don\u2019t forget to share it with your curly friends &#8211; and follow us on social media!<\/p>\n<div class=\"speaker-mute footnotes_reference_container\"> <div class=\"footnote_container_prepare\"><p><span role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" class=\"footnote_reference_container_label pointer\" onclick=\"footnote_expand_collapse_reference_container_3786_1();\">References<\/span><span role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" class=\"footnote_reference_container_collapse_button\" style=\"\" onclick=\"footnote_expand_collapse_reference_container_3786_1();\">[<a id=\"footnote_reference_container_collapse_button_3786_1\">+<\/a>]<\/span><\/p><\/div> <div id=\"footnote_references_container_3786_1\" style=\"display: none;\"><table class=\"footnotes_table footnote-reference-container\"><caption class=\"accessibility\">References<\/caption> <tbody> \r\n\r\n<tr class=\"footnotes_plugin_reference_row\"> <th scope=\"row\" class=\"footnote_plugin_index_combi pointer\"  onclick=\"footnote_moveToAnchor_3786_1('footnote_plugin_tooltip_3786_1_1');\"><a id=\"footnote_plugin_reference_3786_1_1\" class=\"footnote_backlink\"><span class=\"footnote_index_arrow\">&#8593;<\/span>1<\/a><\/th> <td class=\"footnote_plugin_text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.allure.com\/gallery\/curl-hair-type-guide\"><span class=\"footnote_url_wrap\">https:\/\/www.allure.com\/gallery\/curl-hair-type-guide<\/span><\/a><\/td><\/tr>\r\n\r\n <\/tbody> <\/table> <\/div><\/div><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> function footnote_expand_reference_container_3786_1() { jQuery('#footnote_references_container_3786_1').show(); jQuery('#footnote_reference_container_collapse_button_3786_1').text('\u2212'); } function footnote_collapse_reference_container_3786_1() { jQuery('#footnote_references_container_3786_1').hide(); jQuery('#footnote_reference_container_collapse_button_3786_1').text('+'); } function footnote_expand_collapse_reference_container_3786_1() { if (jQuery('#footnote_references_container_3786_1').is(':hidden')) { footnote_expand_reference_container_3786_1(); } else { footnote_collapse_reference_container_3786_1(); } } function footnote_moveToReference_3786_1(p_str_TargetID) { footnote_expand_reference_container_3786_1(); var l_obj_Target = jQuery('#' + p_str_TargetID); if (l_obj_Target.length) { jQuery( 'html, body' ).delay( 0 ); jQuery('html, body').animate({ scrollTop: l_obj_Target.offset().top - window.innerHeight * 0.2 }, 380); } } function footnote_moveToAnchor_3786_1(p_str_TargetID) { footnote_expand_reference_container_3786_1(); var l_obj_Target = jQuery('#' + p_str_TargetID); if (l_obj_Target.length) { jQuery( 'html, body' ).delay( 0 ); jQuery('html, body').animate({ scrollTop: l_obj_Target.offset().top - window.innerHeight * 0.2 }, 380); } }<\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Share Do you want to rock your natural hair texture but have no idea of how to do it?
