What’s My Hair Type? The Ultimate Curly Guide
Because understanding your texture is the first step to mastering it.
Knowing Your Hair Type Is Everything
Choosing the right products can be tricky—especially when something that works wonders for your friend falls flat for you. That’s because healthy, consistent results start with one thing: understanding your hair type.
When you know how your texture behaves, you can make choices that bring out its best—rather than fighting against it.
For Fine to Medium Textures
Lightweight moisture and controlled volume make all the difference.
Shampoo + Conditioner: Platinum Volume keeps the hair balanced—hydrated but never heavy.
Moisture Base: Everyday Spray works beautifully as a detangler or leave-in. Layer Mousse Up or Gel Me over it for flexible hold and definition.
Sun + Water Protection: Everyday Spray also doubles as UV and chlorine protection—perfect for pool or beach days.
For Medium to Coarse Textures
Richer formulas will keep your curls soft and strong without weighing them down.
Shampoo + Conditioner: Rescue for medium texture, Hydrate for coarse or unruly strands.
Best All-Around: J Beverly Hills 5-in-1 adds shine, strength, moisture, and heat protection in one step.
Moisture + Hold: Layer Crazy Curl over Masque or 5-in-1 for balanced hydration and long-lasting shape.
Application and Styling Tips
Product choice matters—but so does how you apply it.
Always comb through each layer of product or emulsify it in your palms first for even distribution.
Start in the back, applying from ends to mid-lengths before moving upward.
Gently scrunch with a towel (never rub), and let your hair dry naturally or with a diffuser angled upward.
Once dry, lift from the roots with your fingers for volume, then separate curls for fullness and flow.
If curls lose shape throughout the day, revive them with a light mist of conditioner mixed with water in a spray bottle. It brings life, softness, and shine back instantly.
The Hair Mansion Approach
Arming yourself with the right products for your unique texture is key to mastering your own hair. My goal is always to simplify that process—to help you understand your pattern, your routine, and the power of touch and technique.
Your hair shouldn’t be a mystery—it should be a language you speak fluently.
