Finding Your Hair Type
Take a look in the mirror and inspect your hair. What shape is it? If you have short hair this will be harder to do but think about how your hair grows out. Below is a set of pictures that show the different types of hair. Find the one most similar to your own.
Straight Hair
Straight hair grows with no bends. The shape of your hair should resemble something like a wet noodle.
Wavy Hair
Wavy hair starts out straight the shorter it is, and eventually starts getting a bend like an S shape.
Curly Hair
Curly hair starts to bend deeply the more it grows eventually taking a coil like shape
