“Kind 2c hair has a robust wave sample, and relying on the density of the hair, can look anyplace from gentle waves to beachy waves, to near-true curls,” Olivia says. 

When you have advantageous and skinny 2c hair, then you may even see waves beginning one to 2 inches from the basis, whereas the hair proper on the follicle will seem straight. Thick 2c hair, alternatively, might have extra elevate on the root provided that there’s extra hair in your head, Olivia explains. 

When categorizing your hair kind as 2c, you may discover it tough as sporadic S-shaped curls can actually seem in your mane. You’ll need to gauge your head as a complete, bearing in mind the final wave form. In reality, these random curls could also be a lifeless giveaway of 2c hair—because it’s enjoying the sector between wavy and curly.
