It can all seem a tad convoluted, so understanding each qualities and concerns can better narrow the needs for your hair.

What Hair Texture Do I Have?
Fine to Medium Hair Texture
Yourhair texture is luxuriously soft, silky, and prone to tangling and breakage. It's easy to blow out and straighten but doesn’t hold styles for very well. When styling, it's important to apply products that help with volume, due to the structure of finehairtexturetypes, it tends to go flat. For fine to medium hair textures, less product is more! Start with pea-sized amounts, then work your way up (if needed) to avoid build-up and greasiness.
Coarse Hair Texture
Va va voom! Volume for days is what coarsehair texture is all about. It holds a style easily, is less prone to breakage, and tends to go dryer than other textures. Coarsehairtexture also tends to become frizzier than fine to medium hair textures. This hair type can handle more products in the hair without the risk of it weighing down easilyand more heat without breakage.
Straight Hair Texture
Straight hair has a reputation for being shiny, as its texture reflects light easier than curly hair types. If you have straight hair, you may know it doesn't hold a style very well and almost always needs volume. Its manageability is a plus, and with the help of styling products, you can style it to just about any look!
Curly Hair Texture
Did you know each fiber of curly hair has its curl pattern? Curly hair can be fine, medium, or coarse. No two heads are alike! This texture is voluminous and full but also tends to frizz easily. Curly hair is prone to dryness, so be sure to keep it hydrated. When styled, it holds a style incredibly well!
