What Are the 4 Types of Hair Texture?

Ah, the beauty of choice—when it comes to hair extensions⁴, there are typically four main types of texture that you’ll hear about: straight, wavy, curly, and coily. Each one has its unique flair and style possibilities. Understanding these textures is like unlocking a treasure trove of styling options for your discerning clients.

• Straight: You probably know straight hair—the epitome of sleek and shiny. Great for a polished, professional look or beach-ready casual.

• Wavy: Think of gentle waves curling outwards like ocean ripples. Fantastic for a soft, romantic appearance or those days when you want to channel your inner bohemian.

• Curly: With tighter loops than wavy, curly hair oozes volume and bounce. Perfect for creating that luscious, full-bodied look your clients might desire.

• Coily: Known for its tightly wound curls, coily hair is ideal for adding dramatic texture and volume. It's a crowd-pleaser for clients who love to make a statement.
