Developed by celebrity stylist, Andre Walker and used throughout the industry, this helpful curl classification system not only identifies your curl pattern but is further broken down into three subcategories to help you embrace your natural bend.
TYPE 2 – WAVY
Somewhere between straight and curly. Prone to frizz and reacts to humidity. Hair needs additional hold and definition.
Look for wave enhancers, weightless moisturizers & curl cultivators.
