Hello There Ladies!
This is my first ever blog entry and I felt it necessary to write about something every women could identify with and needs to know in order to take care of their hair properly. - Hair Types
Type 1: This type of hair is generally identified as straight hair. Straight hair reflects the most sheen and recovers from damage the quickest compared to other hair types. It is also has the most natural oils and does not create kinks in hair due to the amount of sebum (natural oil), which is created in the sebaceous gland attached to the hair follicles. The high amount of sebum presnt in straight hair, prevents kinks from forming in the hair. Celebrities such as Lauren Conrad, and Jennifer Aniston are ambassador for snaturally straight her and know how to rock the straight natural look whether on the red carpet or in their everyday lives.
Type 2: Wavy hair has different hair patterns and depending on how tight the waves are, determines the type of wave. This type of hair is inbetween curly and straight hair. There are threee types of wavy textured hair and the further you go down the wavy spectrum, the hair reflects less sheen due to the kinky formings in the hair. For type 2 hair, anti-frizz products are adviced in order to stop it from frizzing since its more prone to frizzing compared to type one.

Wavy hair is probably the most easiest to wear, when doing the wave patterns look beautiful and adds textured to simple updos such as buns or ponytails. Wavy hair is timeless and looks great on anyone.
Type 3: Curly hair also has three types of pattern depending on the tightness of the curl. The curling pattern ranges from 3A being the loosest curl pattern to 3C being the tightest curl. A strand of curly hair has a defined S shape to it compared to wavy and straight hair where there's no definite curl pattern. If not cared for properly curly hair will look dull because of the lack of sheen present in its natural state. Curly hair is usually full bodied and has a more volume in comparison to the other hair types. For curly hair it is advised to used anti-frizz products due especially in humid climates.

Type 4: Type for hair is the kinky hair. Kinky hair has a Z shape curl (zigzag shape) type and is most prominent in women of African descent. Although it looks tough this type of hair is very fragile and prone to breakage due to the dryness. A misconception exists that kinky hair does not grow, however it grows at the same rate as other hair types but because of their tight coils the growth is not very apparent. With proper care however type for hair can look healthy and luscious like other types. This type of hair should be cared for gently, detangled softly and avoid damaging hair chemicals.Kinky hair has to be moisturised daily due to the least amount of natural oils. A hot oil treatment monthly to keep the hair healthy.
