Your Hair Type and What It Means

Coarse and medium thickness hair types refer to the texture and density of individual hair strands. Medium thickness hair, has a balanced structure, being neither too fine nor too coarse. This hair type tends to have more body and volume compared to fine hair, making it more resilient and versatile for various hairstyles.

Coarse hair type is characterised by a lack of moisture and natural oils, making the hair feel rough, brittle, and prone to breakage. Dry hair often appears dull and lacks the luster and smoothness of well-hydrated hair. It may also be more susceptible to frizz and split ends.

But don’t worry, hydrating products can help restore its natural moisture balance, improve its texture, and enhance its overall health and appearance.

Products

Your curly hair will benefit from nourishing shampoos and smoothing treatments. When it comes to styling cream-based formulas are where it’s at – clays, waxes and pomades are your best friends.

Shampoo and Conditioner

For curly hair like yours, you want to build body without using products that will strip the hair. Although your hair needs nourishing, don’t use too much conditioner, after washing your hair, as it will weigh down your curls.

Treat

Hair treatments are designed to address specific hair needs such as adding volume, controlling frizz, or repairing damage.

For your coarse hair, we recommend light moisturising and nourishing treatments to keep your curls healthy and in shape.

Pre-Style

Pre-styling is the first step in styling your hair. You will generally add a pre-styler to damp hair.

A hair mousse or protective prepping spray can help prevent fine hair from breaking and a thickening pre-styler will help to boost and plump your hair.

Style

As your hair is fine, we don’t recommend using heavy styling products, like thick wax, as this will weigh the hair down.

Instead, try a powder or clay, you will only need to use a small amount of product.
