Have you ever wondered if your hair is wavy, curly, or some mixture of both? If you’ve wondered where your curls fall and also hoped for some help in managing them, we’ve got you covered. Here are a few commonly asked questions about type 2c curls and answers to help you sort through your curl care dilemmas.
Why are my curls flat at the roots?
Does it feel as though your curls won’t pick up at the roots and instead stick to your scalp? It could be that your curls need some weight taken off. This can be achieved by adding layers. You can also help manage flat roots by keeping products away from your scalp. Unless it’s shampoo, avoid using conditioners and other heavy products too close to your roots. Additionally, regularly clarify your curls to remove build up which can weigh your strands down.
What exactly is my curl type?
Is it 2c or 3a? Wavy or coiled? It can fluctuate day by day. 2c curls are considered wavy, with more of a “swoop” than 3a curls, which have more coil. You very well might have both types of curls and will see “S” shape loops in your hair. If you’re not sure about your curl type, consult with your trusted stylist to figure it out.
