Why do I have different types of curls?

The reason we were so confused is because many of us have many different curl patterns on our heads. For some the difference can be as slight as 4a-4c curls or as huge as 2b-3c. If you have noticed that your hair has varying curl patterns, you might be suffering from Multiple Curl Personality Disorder.

Why is my curl pattern so inconsistent?

If your curls tend to look inconsistent – defined in some places, frizzy in others – you may not be using enough gel or styling cream to coat every strand. Try dividing hair into four sections (nape of neck, crown of head, and both sides) and then applying product to ensure you don’t miss a single curl.

Why do I have 2 different hair textures?

The most common reason for having multi-textured hair is genetics. If you’re desiring hair that is completely different from yours, you are sure to get frustrated. If you have multiple textures, it is normal and you’re not alone. Vitamin deficiencies or medication can cause a change in hair texture, but not always.

Why is half my head curly and half straight?

Yes – hair can be naturally this straight and this curly on the same head! It’s very normal to have a mix of curl patterns on the same head of hair. It can remain dormant until activated and then it changes the shape of the hair follicle which changes the hair that grows from it.

Does your curl pattern change as your hair grows?

when your hair grows longer it changes your curl pattern. The longer your hair grows, the heavier it becomes. This weight pulls your curls and elongates them, which can change the texture of your curls. Sometimes a good haircut can help alleviate the weight to help curls bounce back, but not always.

Why is my hair curly underneath but straight on top?

Why is my crown a different texture?

1 Answer. The hair at the crown of your head actually might be a different texture and curl pattern. If you have experienced trauma to the scalp in that area (from styling, use of chemicals, or injury), follicles may be producing shorter finer hairs.

Is it normal to have multiple curl patterns?

There might not be a perfect match, and that’s okay! Similar curl patterns have similar care methods. It’s also very normal to have multiple curl patterns on your head. As we previously established, you may have multiple hair types throughout your head. So choose what looks most similar to the larger portion of your hair.

Why is it important to Know Your curl pattern?

That is because curl pattern is only one part of the hair type equation. Other important factors are porosity, length, width, and density. In other words, whether your hair long or short, fine or coarse, thick or thin — these will all drastically affect the way your hair looks and how it reacts to products. Does it matter?

How can you tell if your hair has curl?

Note: If your hair has experienced heat or chemical damage, you probably aren’t seeing your true curl pattern. An easy way to identify heat damage is to examine the hair strand and the difference between the texture at your root, versus the texture at the hair’s tip.

How often should I deep condition my hair for a curl pattern?

Deep condition your hair every two weeks. We recommend the Dull Solution of the Avocado Deep Conditioner for loose/wavy curls. Use a mousse or leave-in serum to style your hair. Creams and gels will probably be too heavy and weigh your hair down. Your curl pattern is less sensitive to heat, but less is always better.
