Caring for your curly hair can be quite challenging, especially if you aren’t familiar with what works with your hair and what doesn’t. To make the process easier, hair care experts have classified hair into distinct categories and sub-categories based on texture and curl patterns. Curly hair falls into the Type 3 category, which is further divided into 3A, 3B and 3C subcategories. Understanding which category and sub-category your hair falls into is the first and most crucial step giving your hair the TLC it needs. Here’s what you need to know about caring for Type 3 hair.

1. How To Control Frizz

Type 3 hair, especially the 3A subcategory, is prone to frizzing and easily loses definition. Prevent this by avoiding heat styling, especially your straightening iron, as far as possible. Too much heat can damage your hair’s health and curl pattern. If you must straighten or curl your hair, limit these instances to every other month. Also, use a heat protectant serum or spray.

2. Use The Right Moisturizer

Wash your Type 3 curls only with natural, sulphate-free shampoos to prevent dryness. Also, use a natural oil and a curl defining cream after shampooing. Make sure to use a high quality moisturising product like the TCB Naturals Hair Food to preserve your hair’s shine.

3. Be Gentle

3C curls are the most voluminous but will require a little stretching to minimise shrinkage and looking much shorter than they actually are.
