Hair typing, SIMPLIFIED.

*Follow us on TIKTOK & IG: @GetGlamFam

In this #shorts video, I am discussing hair typing in a simplified manner, with photos as visual examples of each type. This is a representation of curl types, but not of whether or not the hair is fine or coarse, low, medium, or high porosity, or protein/moisture balanced. Hair typing helps you to more easily understand the styling capabilities of certain curl/coil patterns, NOT whether or not a product will work well on your hair. Porosity is a much larger indicator of the products that will work on your hair, as it impacts product absorption into the strands.

If you should have additional questions, please check out my full length video, and then let me know if you have any other follow up questions! Have a great day, You know I love you boo!

I am tired of the representation that 4c hair is always short. However yes viola slays

[kawanahahparayam]

Yeeessss I love Viola Davis!! I hate how they had her natural hair dry as hell on HTGAWM though 😑

[ayanajohnson]

I love that you describe 4c coils like a pen spring. That is exactly how I describe it too. And then I had younger people look at me strange, because they had never seen a pen spring...

I'm Asian (southeast asian) and I was born with Type 1 hair, until I reached puberty. Then, my hair started to expand(?). It got super frizzy. Doesn't matter how much conditioner or oil I used or how much I brush, it still frizzes. Until I saw a YT vid that suggests I might have wavy/curly hair. Had to learn about the types of hair and go through an awkward hair rehabilitation phase. Now, I have healthy hair that's 2c (depends on how well I take care of it). Why my hair went crazy after puberty? Beats me but it can happen 😐

I love how someone finally said 4B does not have a coil. In diagrams it has a zag and when undefined it usually just looks almost like a kinky version of type 1 hair to be honest

[wardahawsawi]

I think all hair types are BEAUTIFUL just like different cultures and languages.

[TiondaRae]

I'm part of the 3c/4a gang. And yes, Viola slays!

[israeliana]

This was beautiful. Yes so many people have a mix of hair types but it's glad to see 4b shown fr because a lot of people have 4b/c mix and call it 4c.

[mzharper]

Glad to see you posting. I know you are in Texas. Praying for you all down there. Stay safe. Love you. And yes, Viola slays!

[ohdamnman]

We most definitely can agree that Ms. Viola SLAYS

[azharsalamat]

I'm asian and my hair straight af, which never gets curls, and when I was little my mom would do my braids using water bc it would slip away through her hands. BTW I always dreamed of curly wavy hair as a kid but now I embraced my hair 🙃

[rswife]

I have type 1. I have ZERO body, wave, bounce, just nothing in my hair. My hair is straighter then ppl I see who have used a straightener.
I appreciate this as I've been trying to figure out my dghtrs type. She has 3A, so thanks!

[amazinglynn]

I appreciate that you didn’t bring up “harder to manage” or “more brittle” when talking about type 4 hair. It might be true but it can still come off weird especially when no disadvantages were mentioned with the other hair types. Love you for that 💜

[Niqua]

Ohhh. I'm glad you broke it down finally. I get it.

[tinawalker]

This is so tasteful and I’m sure some people will want to argue but I think it’s great

[keiraabi]

My Afro is now a mix of 3c, 4a, and 4b and it feels so empowering now that I don’t even care what people say.

[flowersfpeace]

Oh, yes!! Viola most definitely slays 🙌🏽. I like how you broke down the different hair types with pics. It looks like I have type 3b hair. Thank you, Linwood 💜

[camillegraves]

Yep we can agree, Viola just has a regal quality about her kinda like how Angela Bassett has!

[Shepj]

Hi Linwood, I pray you and the family are doing well there in Texas, praying for everyone 🙏🏽
