Type 2 - Wavy Hair

Type 2 curly hair is often described as wavy instead of curly, especially around people with other curl types. That's because the curl pattern typically forms in a defined "s" shape instead of the coils that other types usually have.

Type 2 hair sticks close to your head. It won't bounce up even when it's layered which can make it easier to style. But as with all hair, this isn't always the case depending on your hair type.

There are three Type 2 sub types - 2a, 2b and 2c. While all are considered "wavy," they each have their own unique style and require their own hair care routine. And regardless of you sub type, there are always great hair products for you at Jessicurl.
