What are the types of hair styles?

The type of hair you have depends on the shape and size of the follicle it grows from. Small follicles produce fine hair, while bigger follicles produce thick hair. Hair on the head can be straight, wavy, or curly. About 100 head hairs are lost every day and these are replaced by new growth.

Straight hair

If your hair has no curl or wave to the strand, you have straight hair. Women with straight hair are more likely to have more “oily” hair since the natural oils can easily coat the whole straight strand of hair.

Like all other types of hair, straight hair is beautiful but many straight haired women wish for curls and waves, and the only way to make this happen is with a curling iron or perm. While straight hair is relatively easy to care for, it can lack volume and be hard to style.

Wavy hair

If you have naturally wavy hair, your strands are completely curled, but they form more of an “S” shape than a coil. While many women with wavy hair struggle living in an in-between world of straight and curly hair, wavy hair is typically not too oily and not too dry.

Curly or coiled hair

Curly hair has more “true” curls than wavy hair. Women with curly hair can have loose ringlets or tight spirals. Like other textures of hair, there are different types of curly hair which are based on thickness and the size of the curl. Coily (or kinky) hair is a variation of curly hair and women with coily hair can have a mix of “Z” and “S” shaped curls. Women with curly hair often opt to keep their hair short or have dreads, to make coily hair more manageable, but there are a variety of styles that look great.
