Find Your BundleKnow Your Curl Pattern
Curl Pattern
4A
S-Shaped Coil Pattern
- Coils form a visible, uniform pattern
- Strands wrap around themselves
- Natural oils don't easily travel root to ends
Tip: Consistent hydration + light hold to maintain shape.
Curl Pattern
4B
Z-Shaped Coil Pattern
- Strands form sharp angles rather than a uniform curl
- Significant shrinkage from stretched length
- More tangling points along the strand
Tip: Hydration + low manipulation to reduce breakage.
Curl Pattern
4C
Closely Coiled Texture
- Tightest coil pattern
- High shrinkage from stretched length
- Fewer visible clumps in natural state
Tip: Consistent hydration + protective styling to minimize breakage.
Step 1 — Know Your Porosity
Porosity determines how your hair absorbs and retains moisture — and it's the key to choosing the right bundle. Do the float test: drop a clean strand of hair in a glass of water. If it floats = Low. Sinks slowly = Medium. Sinks fast = High.
Low
Hair floats. Cuticles are tightly closed. Needs lightweight, water-based formulas.
Medium
Hair sinks slowly. Cuticles are slightly raised. Absorbs and retains moisture well.
High
Hair sinks fast. Cuticles are raised or damaged. Needs rich, sealing products.
