What Is Textured Hair?

Question

Accepted Answer

If you're asking what does textured hair mean, here's the answer: Textured hair includes all hair types with shaped strands. Wavy, curly, and coily are the three subtypes, with the only non-textured hair being type 1, which features strands with no shape.

People with textured hair should use products that are formulated using ingredients that nourish their particular hair type. Make sure hair care products are free from silicone, sulfate cleansers, parabens, mineral oil, and petrolatum, which can weigh hair down and cause dullness.
