Hair Types

There has been a common misconception about African American people and their hair. There are different types of hair within the many strands of the African American hair and knowing your hair type is a HUGE step when transitioning from relaxed to natural hair. 

Hair Types:
Type 2
This is the wavy patterns that is common 
among many caucasian women. 
Type 3
This is the curl patterns found in many mixed 
raced women; LIKE ME! (: 
Type 4
This is curl pattern; and YES, 4C IS A CURL PATTERN
that is common among many AA women and throughout 
history has been labeled "nappy" 
But it is actually tightly coiled CURLS! 

So what hair type are you? And what will it take for you and your hair to build a healthy, loving relationship? 

BE-YOU-TIFUL hair comes in all shades, lengths, textures, and patterns.
