Which Hair Texture Type Do You Fit?

It is not uncommon for woman to have a combination of different hair textures on her head. So below we will give a little explanation of hair type and textures for some afro-mation (Afro information).

In the world of hair types, you have 4 groups in general with type 1’s and 2’s being more Eurocentric type hair and 3’s / 4’s being more Afrocentric type hair you could argue.

The three core texture type for anyone with an African/Caribbean background or ancestry are:

  • Curly
  • Coily
  • Kinky

These are also described in the hair type range of 3 to 4 as stated before.  Hair type 3’s ranges from Curly to Coily and hair type 4’s range from Coily to Kinky. You will normally also get a letter after the number. The letter will range from A to C i.e. 3a, 3b, 3c etc. The letters after the numbers gives a pattern description of the hair.  So A’s will normally describe a loose pattern, B’s medium pattern and C’s tightest pattern depending on the texture type such as Curly, Coily or Kinky.
