Do you have Type 2 hair, or hair that’s wavy and thick? Do you have Type 3 hair, or hair that’s curly and kinky? Do you have Type 4 hair, or hair that has tight coils, elasticity, and very tight curls? There are brands that are suitable for all hair types and state as such in their branding. There are also some products that cater specifically to your hair type. Keep this in mind when doing your search.
