COILED HAIR – WHY YOU NEED TO THINK ABOUT YOUR SCALP
Coiled hair is divided into three specific curl patterns which need to be treated with a moisturizing shampoo designed to keep the hair and scalp healthy.
According to Naturally Curly, on the curl spectrum, coiled hair is identified as Type 4. Coiled hair is then separated into three types.
Type 4: Coiled hair groups
4A – curls are “S”-shaped, high density and fine
4B – curls are “Z”-shaped, prone to shrinkage and heat damage
4C – curls similar to 4B, with less definition and prone to tangling
Scalp problems
Most people suffer from scalp problems at some point. The unique demands of coiled, curly hair lead many people to choose hairstyles that can be worn for multiple days between washes.
Sometimes, though, maintaining a style for that long can stress out the scalp- it’s difficult to give your scalp the moisture it needs in-between washes.
Build-up of products, like sweat or dirt on the scalp, can also irritate the skin. You may experience one or more of the following:
dryness
irritation
itching
flaking
If left untreated or treated with the wrong products, these can become worse and damage your scalp and hair.
