It is a well known fact that individuals of African/Afro Caribbean origin have different hair textures. Getting in touch and knowing your hair texture could result to happy hair days. Although hair growth rate, size, shape and texture are unique to every person there are still similar trends to people. If you know your hair texture you will be able to choose the products that work well for you and get satisfactory results.

Black hair should be handled with care as the twists and curls of the hair shaft can cause weakness and result into breakage. Our hair texture can range anywhere from pin-straight to extremely curly. Follicles that are round in cross-section give rise to straight hair. Those out of which curly hair grows are oval. Very tightly coiled hair is due to the nearly flat, ribbon-like structure of the follicles.

Our hair thickness results from a combination of both the follicles themselves and how many of them line our scalp. The sixe of the follicles determines if the individual hair strands are thick or thin. Large follicles produce thick hairs and small ollicles produce thin hairs. It is that simple!
