Classified as 3A, 3B or 3C Curls, if your curly hair is in this category it starts at an s shape and even can have a z shape at the 3C range.
Type 3 curly hair will vary from relaxed bouncy curls to tight, spring like helicals. Naturally your curls have some gloss but are prone to becoming frizzy.
Is My Hair Type 4 'Coily' Hair?
Coily curls are known as Type 4A, 4B or 4C which can be referred to as Afro-textured or kinky hair.
If you have this type naturally your hair is quite dry and very bouncy, these curls can feel soft and finer. They can also be 'wiry' with a coarse texture.
Your hair strands are tightly coiled curls to zig zags that hold their shape strongly.
Your coily curls appear to take a very long time to grow due to the tightness of the curl.
