Are you ready to start caring for your hair the right way? Keep reading! Do you have wavy hair that’s more prominent from the mids to ends? You likely have type 2B hair. Characterised by its distinct ‘S’ shaped waves, type 2b hair offers a beachy look but can be prone to dryness and frizz, especially in humid weather. While being generally manageable, this wave pattern often needs extra hydration and frizz control to maintain its smoothness. So, if your waves sometimes misbehave and frizz is often a struggle for you, welcome to the world of Type 2B hair!

Wondering what hair type you have? Here’s how you can identify your type 2B hair:

1. Wave Pattern: Your hair has a defined ‘S’ shaped wave pattern. Your hair tends to sit relatively flat at the roots with your waves being more pronounced from the mid-lengths to the ends.
2. Prone to Frizz: Frizz can be a common issue, especially in humid weather conditions.
3. Texture: Your hair is medium in texture, meaning it’s not too fine and not too coarse.
4. Volume: Your hair has natural volume thanks to its wave pattern, but it can sometimes appear flat at the roots so may require extra care and styling.
5. Moisture: You may notice that your hair often feels dry, particularly at the ends, requiring extra hydration.
6. Versatility: Your waves require minimal effort to look styled – often some leave-in product and air-drying is enough to enhance its natural shape. Your hair is also incredibly versatile when it comes to styling and is a great foundation for several looks, from sleek and straight to voluminous and textured.

With the right routine, type 2B hair can be super easy to manage and maintain. Here ae some tips to keep your waves looking their best:

1. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate

As Type 2B hair is prone to dryness, it’s important to keep your hair well hydrated. Try using nourishing products that help lock in moisture without weighing down your waves.

2. Combat Frizz

Frizz is often your biggest challenge if you have type 2B hair. To help keep it under control, use lightweight styling products that target frizz while enhancing your natural wave pattern.

3. Embrace Air-Drying

Heat tools can easily cause damage to type 2B hair, causing even more frizz to occur. Where possible, let your hair air-dry for a more natural, effortless finish. If you do use heat, always use a heat protectant.

4. Diffuse for Definition

If you’re looking to add a bit more bounce to your waves, a diffuser attachment on your hair dryer can work wonders. Always use it on a low heat setting to enhance your natural texture.

5. Regular Trims

Like all hair types, regular trims will help keep your type 2B hair healthy and prevent split ends. It is recommended to get your hair trimmed every 6-8 weeks.

6. Use a Microfibre Towel

When drying your hair, avoid using rough towels which can cause friction and frizz. Instead, try using a microfibre towel which helps to absorb excess water without disturbing your waves.
