Type 3C

The difference between the types may be a bit hard to spot the closer you are in the spectrum. While they have a similiar curl pattern to type 3B, type 3C curls start to get more tight and coarse.

These curls also benefit from a lot more volume than the previous types. They almost defy gravity, refusing to stay down. Because curls are tighter and compact, shrinkage occurs preventing the full length to be visble. Caution: Curls may be longer than they seem! When pulled down, curls can seemingly double in length. The best advice you can get about taking care of your own curls comes from another curly girl-y.
