Knowing your hair type is an essential step in choosing the right care products and achieving the best styling results. Okima offers you a simple guide to help you easily determine your hair type.


🧬 First: What is your hair type?

Hair can be classified into four main types, based on its natural appearance after washing and drying without the use of heat tools or products:

  1. Straight hair : It is soft and shiny, and tends to be oily because oils easily move from the scalp to the ends.
  2. Wavy hair : It takes the form of light to medium waves, and combines the characteristics of straight and curly hair.
  3. Curly hair : It has clear curls and high elasticity, and may be prone to dryness and breakage.
  4. Coily/Kinky hair : It is very curly and thick, and needs deep moisturizing and special care.

🧪 Second: How do you determine your hair type?

Follow these steps to accurately determine your hair type:

  1. Wash your hair : Using a mild shampoo, without applying conditioner or styling products.
  2. Let it dry naturally : Avoid using a dryer or towel vigorously.
  3. Watch how it looks after drying : is it straight, wavy, curly, or coiled?
