Each person has a hair type and also a hair size, but did you know that for each of them, you need to take special care? Yes, that’s why we’re going to show you here both a step-by-step guide on how to care for your hair and also the hair variations.
What types of hair sizes are there?
There are several types of hair, and they are generally classified based on the texture and shape of the strands. Straight hair is characterized by smooth strands without noticeable curves or waves. It can vary from fine to thick and from smooth to very smooth.
Wavy hair has a slight curvature in the form of waves along the strands. Curls can be loose or more defined, depending on the density and texture of the hair. In the case of curly hair, it has more defined and pronounced curls compared to wavy hair. Curls can range from loose to tight, creating a curlier texture.
Curly hair has very tight and defined curls, forming a dense, spiraling texture. This type of hair may appear drier and require specific care to maintain hydration.
In addition to these main categories, it is important to note that each hair type can have variations and combinations. For example, someone may have hair that is straight at the roots and wavy at the ends, or curls that are looser in certain areas and tighter in others.
What are the steps to take care of each hair type?
I will describe the basic steps to take care of each type of hair: straight, wavy, curly, and frizzy. However, it’s important to remember that each hair is unique, so you may need to adjust these steps according to your hair’s specific needs.
For straight hair, wash it with a mild shampoo to remove dirt and product buildup. Use a light conditioner to moisturize your hair, focusing on the ends. Avoid heavy products that can leave your hair oily or lacking volume.
If you need volume, opt for texturizing products or mousse to give your hair more body. And finally, blow-dry your hair using a round brush to add volume and movement.

To define waves, use a styling cream or gel while your hair is still damp and let your hair dry naturally, or use a diffuser to prevent frizz and preserve your curls.
In the case of curly hair, use a moisturizing or specific shampoo for curly hair to maintain moisture. Apply a conditioner rich in moisture, leaving it to act for a few minutes before rinsing, and avoid combing your hair while it is dry to avoid frizz. Gently detangle during the shower with your fingers or a wide-toothed comb.
