Type 3 curls are amongst the most common curl types. This curl type is the happy medium between type 2 and type 4 curls. It is flexible but thick- meaning it can be a hit or miss when using different products to style this hair type.
Human hair comes with all sorts of colors, textures and shapes. Notably, African hair is more coiled and dry; Asian hair is straighter and thicker; and Caucasian hair is somewhere in between with around 45% having straight hair, 40% having wavy hair, and 15% having curly hair.
3A hair specifically is a fairly common curl type, though it's not always easy to identify because of its similarity to other curl patterns in the type 3 category.
Less than 20% of people have naturally curly hair. The percentage gets even smaller when you consider the scores of guys out there who don't embrace their curls. If you're looking for something to help you stand out—and look dashing while doing it—then it's time to go natural.
Less than 20% of the world's population is born with naturally curly hair, so in terms of pure numbers, it's fairly rare.
Many Asians have naturally straight hair, but there is a significant group of us who do have naturally curly or wavy hair! However, because it's the norm to see straight and sleek hair, curly haired boys and girls tend to think that their hair is some kind of unruly straight hair that isn't behaving.
3B hair is made up of well-defined, spiral curls that range from bouncy ringlets to tight corkscrews. Their circumference is the size of a large marker. 3B curls have a fine to medium texture. This curl type benefits from lots of body and movement but is prone to frizzing and dryness.
Most people have multiple textures on their head, so it is very common to have majority 3b curls, with 3a and 3c mixed in as well.
Hair type 1A is super-straight. It doesn't even hold a curl! 1A is the rarest hair type. It is usually found on people of Asian descent.
The African hair is generally curly or frizzy, and grows almost parallel to the scalp. It has the slowest growth rate of 0.9 centimeters per month due to its spiral structure which causes it to twist on itself as it grows. African hair has a flattened shape.
According to DevaCurl, over 65% of the population has curly or wavy hair. The attractiveness of curly hair is proven by this statistic alone. Curly haired people have been attracting mates every since the first curly hair spring out of the first round head countless generations ago.
When we casually observe via our eyes, we may feel that we have inherited most of our hair features from either our mom or dad. However, the reality is that we inherit equal volume of genetic information from both mom and dad.
All about 4d Hair Type
4d hair curls are also extreme, and at the time, you may think the person has short hair only to find its shoulder-length or even longer. The curl pattern for this hair type at times is defined as a Z pattern. 4d hair is mostly coiled and has a spring-like pattern.
TEXTURE CHANGE
Stringy, straight ends and looser curl patterns. These sorts of noticeable changes in texture can be a red flag. Excessive heat is usually the culprit, but bleach/color damage, dryness or over-manipulation can be contributing factors as well.
A general observation across experiments was that straight hair was perceived as younger, healthier, and more attractive than wavy hair and darker shades (medium copper and brown) were perceived more positively than blonde hair.
Most straight haired women fall into the type 1b category. Type 1b hair is most distinguishable from type 1a hair because it will hold a curl. Type 1b hair has sporadic bends here and there, and the ends of the hair tend to curl under slightly, unlike type 1a hair where the ends are completely straight.
But here's the thing. Despite its popularity, strawberry blonde hair only occurs naturally in between 1 and 2 percent of the world's total population — which means it takes hair color and technique to make it happen for the rest of us. In fact, it's a hue that's been rare yet in demand for centuries.
If you have a feel of the strands, you'll find that they have a mixture of thin and thicker strands, so 3b hair has fine and medium hair texture. The loose 3a curls have a larger circumference than the 3b curls, which are not as thick as and have a smaller width than corkscrew 3c locks.
2b is loose and bendy S-shaped strands but still more of a wave than a curl. 2c are more defined S-shaped curls which start from the root.
"To test between 2B and 2C hair, check if the wave starts at the root. If it does, it's likely 2C," says Sears. "To differentiate between 2C and 3A hair, check if your hair is wavier or actually curled. If it's more of a wave, it's 2C, whereas if it's more of a curl, it's type 3."
There are plenty of blue-eyed Asians. This probably happens when the traditional blue-eyed allele comes into a family from a (possibly very distant) European ancestor. Blue eyes then resurface in a child generations later if they inherit the allele from both parents.
Japan, as a country, isn't really geared toward those with curly hair. The majority of the Japanese population has naturally straight hair and many who do have some form of curly hair have it chemically straightened in order to fit in.
In Asia, red hair can be found among some peoples of Afghan, Arab, Iranian, East Indians, Mongolian, Turkic, Miao, and Hmong descent.
