How to Identify Your Curl Type | Blush+Bounce Guide
Share
Curly hair is beautifully unique — no two curls are exactly the same. Whether your hair forms loose waves or tight coils, understanding your curl type is the first step to giving it the love it deserves.
At Blush+Bounce, we believe that knowing your curls helps you choose the right care routine — simple, clean, and made for you. Here’s how to identify your curl type and treat it with care. 💕
1. The Curl Pattern Basics
Most hair experts classify curls into four main categories:
Type 1: Straight
Type 2: Wavy
Type 3: Curly
Type 4: Coily
Since we’re focusing on textured hair, let’s dive deeper into Types 2, 3, and 4 — where waves and curls start to shine.
2. Type 2 — Wavy Hair
Looks Like: Loose, S-shaped waves that don’t fully curl
Feels Like: Soft and fine to slightly coarse
Common Challenges: Frizz, flat roots, dryness at the ends
How to Care:
Use a light, hydrating shampoo like Blush+Bounce Classic Curl Shampoo to cleanse without weighing your waves down. Follow with Classic Curl Conditioner to keep them soft and frizz-free.
💡 Pro tip: Air-dry your waves and scrunch for natural volume.
3. Type 3 — Curly Hair
Looks Like: Spirals or ringlets that are well-defined when hydrated
Feels Like: Bouncy, soft, and springy
Common Challenges: Frizz, dryness, loss of definition
How to Care:
Moisture is your best friend. Wash with Hydrating Shampoo, then deeply condition with Moisturizing Conditioner to keep your curls smooth and defined.
💡 Pro tip: Avoid brushing dry curls — detangle while conditioning instead.
4. Type 4 — Coily Hair
Looks Like: Tight coils or zig-zag patterns with lots of texture
Feels Like: Thick, dense, and sometimes fragile
Common Challenges: Breakage, dryness, shrinkage
How to Care:
Use gentle, moisture-rich products that restore softness and strength. Blush+Bounce’s shampoo and conditioner duo keeps coils hydrated and healthy without buildup.
💡 Pro tip: Seal in moisture with lightweight oils or leave-in conditioners after washing.
5. Not Sure What Your Type Is?
You might have a mix of curl types — and that’s completely normal! The key is to focus on how your hair feels and responds to products. Healthy, hydrated curls (of any type) start with clean, gentle care.
