Parts of the Hair
 Hair Texture
Regardless of if your hair is straight, wavy, curly or kinky we all have 3 basic textures:
fine, medium and thick which can also be called coarse. Texture is not how the hair feels but
describes the thickness of each individual strand of hair. The comparison is typically to a piece
of thread. If your hair is fine, it’s thinner than the thread, medium hair is usually the same width
and thick or coarse strands are thicker than the piece of thread.

Characteristics of Each Hair Texture

Fine Hair
Fine hair is the most fragile texture and can be easily damaged. Contrary to popular belief,
people with finer hair tend to have more hair than people with thicker hair strands. Fine hair can
tend to be oilier than other hair types. For those of you with fine hair you may find difficulty
holding a style; your hair is light and can fall flat against your head. Volume is often desired but
not often attained. Structurally fine hair has two hair layers – a cortex and a cuticle.
Fine natural hair:
 Doesn’t hold styles well.
 Can become weighed down with heavy products, causing the hair to look stringy.
 Can look thin.
 Can break easily because it’s fragile.

Medium Hair
Medium hair is the most common hair type and often covers the scalp very well. This hair
texture is not as fragile as fine hair and can be manipulated into styles easily. Structurally,
medium textures usually have two layers – the cortex and cuticle – and may contain the medulla.
Medium natural hair:
  Holds styles fairly well.
 Usually looks thick and covers the scalp well.
 Is not as prone to breakage as fine hair.

Thick or Coarse Hair

This hair texture is strong because structurally it contains all three hair layers – the cortex,
cuticle and medulla. The medulla, the innermost layer of the hair shaft is pretty much a series of
empty spaces.  It’s an area filled mostly with air and protein. This hair texture usually takes
longer to dry than others, and can be resistant to various chemical treatments. It can tolerate heat
well and resist breakage better than the fine or medium hair.
Thick natural hair:
 Appears full.
 Holds styles well.
 Can tolerate higher amounts of heat.
 Can be resistant to hair colouring and chemical relaxers.
 Hair Type

Straight

Naturally straight hair is the strongest of the types and reflects light to the
eye the best giving it a glossy appearance. One challenge of curly hair is that
it’s resistant to curling and usually requires the use of chemicals for this to
be done permanently.

Wavy

Wavy hair has  s-shaped curls down its length or much of the hair can
appear straight with slight bends towards the ends of the hair. Wavy hair can
frizz fairly easily and requires care to achieve perfect waves.

Curly

Curly hair tends to do so down the entire length of the hair shaft. Strand
thickness can range from fine to coarse but is most often fine. The greatest
challenges for curly hair types are frizz, lack of curl definition, shrinkage
and dryness, to a lesser extent.

Kinky-Curly

This hair type has the tightest curls ranging from fine to coarse with s-
shaped and z-shaped curls with everything in between! It is the most fragile
of the types. If curl definition is a challenge for curly hair types it’s almost
an impossibility for kinky-curly hair. Additionally, shrinkage and
dryness are two issues to constantly fight against.
