Type 3A

Type 3A hair defines the boundary between wavy and true curls. This is a light curly pattern that begins to develop some real twists and turns! Above, you can see the curls are still quite loose and the closest to wavy hair on the curl spectrum.

The model to left is rocking a natural curl. This hair texture is, as you can see, very voluminous and springy. One downside, however, is that it relies on a lot of moisture to prevent frizz. A good leave-in conditioner is a curly girls bestfriend.
