Straight hair is characterized by its lack of natural curl and is known for reflecting the most sheen.
Curly hair tends to be more porous and dry as natural oils from the scalp have a harder time traveling down the hair strands.
A texture chart is used to determine hair type based on curl pattern, which ranges from 1 (straight) to 4 (kinky).
Hair density impacts the types of hairstyles that are achievable and affects how thick or thin hair appears.
Wavy hair is typically characterized by its S-shaped pattern, offering a natural wave with some bounce.
Porosity determines how well the hair can absorb and retain moisture, which can vary across all hair textures.
High-density hair means there are more hair strands packed into the scalp, providing a fuller look.
Curly hair can be drier, so it often requires less frequent washing with shampoo to avoid stripping natural oils.
Low porosity hair resists moisture absorption because the cuticles are tightly packed together.
Kinky hair has a Z-shaped curl, characterized by very tight curls with a lot of volume.
