Hair Types
The hair textures our AI classifies and what makes each unique.
Straight
Type 1Hair lies flat from root to tip with no natural curl or wave. Straight hair tends to be shinier but can appear flat — volumizing products and textured cuts add body.
Wavy
Type 2An S-shaped pattern that ranges from loose bends to defined waves. Wavy hair benefits from lightweight mousse and air-drying to enhance natural movement.
Curly
Type 3Defined spiral or ringlet curls from root to tip. Curly hair thrives with moisture-rich products, diffuser drying, and minimal brushing to prevent frizz.
Coily
Type 4Tight coils or zigzag patterns with significant shrinkage. Coily hair needs deep conditioning, protective styling, and gentle detangling to maintain health and definition.
Care Routine by Hair Type
