Textured Hair

Textured hair refers to hair that has a distinct, natural curl pattern or wave. This type of hair typically has a more porous surface and is more prone to dryness and breakage. Textured hair can come in a variety of curl patterns, including loose curls, tight curls, and kinky curls.

Textured hair often requires special care and maintenance to keep it healthy and looking its best. This includes using gentle shampoos and conditioners, deep conditioning treatments, and using the right styling products, such as leave-in conditioners, oils, and gels, to define curls and reduce frizz.

People with textured hair often use specific techniques to take care of it, such as co-washing, which means washing the hair with conditioner instead of shampoo, also the "pineapple" method of wrapping hair in a silk or satin scarf overnight to prevent frizz and preserve curls.

It's important to avoid over-manipulation, and to use the right tools such as a wide-tooth comb or a denman brush, and to avoid heat styling tools, as it can cause damage to the hair.

Styling options for textured hair are diverse, and includes wash and go, twist-outs, braid-outs, and protective styles like braids and twists.
