While your hair retains moisture better than<br \/>\n          the other type 4&#8217;s, it&#8217;s still prone to some dehydration. <\/p>\n<p><b>Styling tips: <\/b>Like the other type 4&#8217;s, it&#8217;s all about moisture. Invest in a hydrating conditioner<br \/>\n          targeted specifically for dry hair, and coat on a moisturizing oil whenever your tresses are feeling parched,<br \/>\n          wet or dry.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h3>You have type 3c hair.<\/h3>\n<p>Your hair features tight loops and spirals<span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit; font-size: 18px; letter-spacing: 0px;\">\u2014think of the<br \/>\n            spring inside of a pen.<\/span><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit; font-size: 18px; letter-spacing: 0px;\"> <\/span><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit; font-size: 18px; letter-spacing: 0px;\">Since the curl<br \/>\n            pattern starts at the root, volume is not your issue here. <\/span><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit; font-size: 18px; letter-spacing: 0px;\">Your curls are<br \/>\n            lush and defined, but they&#8217;re also prone to breakage and lack moisture, so sealing in hydration is<br \/>\n            crucial.<\/span><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit; font-size: 18px; letter-spacing: 0px;\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit; font-size: 18px; letter-spacing: 0px;\"><b>Styling<br \/>\n              tips: <\/b>F<\/span><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit; font-size: 18px; letter-spacing: 0px;\">ocus on<br \/>\n            products that will add hydration and seal in water, as well as stylers that offer some hold and definition.<br \/>\n            You&#8217;ll want to set the curls when dripping wet to lock in moisture and keep those loops shiny and springy.<br \/>\n          <\/span><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h3>You have type 3b hair.<\/h3>\n<p>Your hair has tighter ringlets<span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit; font-size: 18px; letter-spacing: 0px;\">\u2014think spirals<br \/>\n            with a bit more spring.

Find yourself some moisturizing<br \/>\n          leave-ins, oils, refreshers, and defining creams, and lock in the hydration. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h3>You have type 3a hair.<\/h3>\n<p>You have loose, medium-barrel curls. They react to the elements quite easily and are pretty prone to dryness,<br \/>\n          but treat them right and they&#8217;ll stay defined and shiny.<\/p>\n<p><b>Styling tips: <\/b>To define those curls, fi<span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: inherit; font-size: 18px; letter-spacing: 0px;\">nd a good,<br \/>\n            moisturizing styling cream, serum or gel that gives you the right amount of hold. You might want to focus on<br \/>\n            flatter areas first (while the hair is wet) as the springier ringlets can typically hold their own.<\/span>\n        <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h3>You have type 2c hair.<\/h3>\n<p>Your hair has defined waves, perhaps resembling the letter S. You may also have a mix of S-shaped waves and<br \/>\n          full-on curls (most 2c&#8217;s do!). <\/p>\n<p><b>Styling tips:<\/b> Look for products that offer light hold, but allow for some movement. Texture sprays and<br \/>\n          mousses are your friends, here, as are lightweight stylers to tame frizz (this hair type can be frizz-prone).\n        <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h3>You have type 2b hair.<\/h3>\n<p>Your hair still lies flat at the root, but has some movement towards the bottom. It&#8217;s still rather easy to<br \/>\n          manipulate wit hot tools, but you fall a little on the wavier side. <\/p>\n<p><b>Styling tips: <\/b>Similar to 2a hair, lighter milks and serums are your friends. If you&#8217;re looking for<br \/>\n          more volume, try styling with a light-hold mousse and follow up with texture spray. If you&#8217;re just using<br \/>\n          serums and leave-ins, don&#8217;t apply them at the root (this can weigh down the strands). <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h3>You have type 2a hair.<\/h3>\n<p>While closer to straight than curly, your hair does have a slight bend. It typically lays flat at the root,<br \/>\n          then curves towards the bottom.<\/p>\n<p><b>Styling tips: <\/b>Reach for lighter milks and serums, as too-heavy oils and creams can weigh down the<br \/>\n          strands (keep them away from the root as well).
