HAIR TEXTURE & SCIENCE
HAIR TEXTURE OVERVIEW
At Philip Kingsley, we avoid using terms like ‘normal’, ‘dry’ and ‘oily’ to categorise hair. After all, what is normal for one person may not be normal for another.
FINE HAIR
If you have fine hair, the diameter of each individual strand will be thin – but you will most likely have an abundance of hairs on your head.
MEDIUM HAIR
If you have medium hair, your strands will feel substantial in texture, but probably not coarse or wiry.
COARSE HAIR
If you have coarse hair, it will probably have plenty of natural body. It may feel rough in texture, and it may feel like you have a lot of it.
NATURAL COILED CURLS
Natural coiled curls, as in many variations of African and Caribbean hair, tend to have a great deal of body and bounce. You may also find that your hair is fragile and prone to breakage..
HAIR SCIENCE OVERVIEW
Hair is a remarkable fibre. It is composed of keratin, a strong fibrous protein, and is built from cells similar to those of your skin.
