If you know your hair texture you will be able to choose the products that work well for you and get satisfactory results.

Black hair should be handled with care as the twists and curls of the hair shaft can cause weakness and result into breakage. Our hair texture can range anywhere from pin-straight to extremely curly.

Very tightly coiled hair is due to the nearly flat, ribbon-like structure of the follicles.

Our hair thickness results from a combination of both the size of the follicles themselves and how many of them line our scalp. The size of the follicles determines if the individual hair strands are thick or thin. Large follicles produce thick hairs. Small follicles produce thin hairs. It is that simple!
