AURA Specialists’ Curl-enhancing Tips

1. Know your curl type.

Understanding your curl type is essential to giving your hair type the attention it deserves. 

Curl experts typically use the following four simple categories to describe different hair types. Each type is defined by the density, hair texture, and look of the hair:

Type 1 – Straight Hair 

– May be unable to hold a curl

Type 2 – Wavy Hair | Loose Curls 

– Fine to thick blendable curls

Type 3 – Defined Curls 

– Loose lightweight loops to tight corkscrews

Type 4 – Coily | Tight Curls 

– Soft and fine to coarse and wiry strands; naturally dry and cloud-like texture
