An awesome hair cut for these types is to have the sides and back of the hair cropped short, while the top is left longer. Use styling wax to keep those curls looking tight and frizz-free, even when you have volume on top.

Wavy The hair that puberty mutated! If you have this hair type then most probably your hair was straight when you were a child and then after puberty the straight turned to waves that is quite frizzy and dry especially on the tips, and may look flat on the roots at times. Botticelli Curls The S-shaped curls and tighter curls that vary in shape, size and length. The curls may look like a rope and become looser or tighter depending on the season. Botticelli curls has a spring factor of 5-8 inches.

Cherub Curls Angel's hair! The hair looks very fine and very soft in texture like that of a baby's. These fragile curls break easily and have varied lengths looking weightless and translucent. Also, this hair type seems to not grow after it has reached a certain length and can stretch from 5-10 inches.

Hair care

Moisturize. It would also greatly help to wash your hair not more than four times a week since curly hair tends to be more fragile and drier than straight hair.

Detangle. Prior washing your hair run your fingers through your hair or use a wide tooth comb and then twist locks using your fingers so your hair is tangle free while shampooing. Blow dryer away. Pat your hair dry and avoid using your hair dryer as it sucks away moisture and making your hair frizz-prone.

Use styling creams and/or serums to keep the frizz at bay. The more you put pressure on your tresses such as scrunching, over brushing/combing, and etc, the more your hair gets frizzier and prone to breakage due to the friction.

Be confident and embrace your natural you. It is nice to look different every once in a while using hair straightening products and ironing your hair but it is best to embrace your natural self.
