If your hair forms loose, defined waves that have a mind of their own, and you constantly battle frizz, you may have type 2C hair. This hair type is full of texture with natural "S"-shaped waves, but it also comes with its own unique challenges. Type 2C hair is characterised by thick, coarse waves that are more defined than other wavy types (2A and 2B), often starting right at the roots and forming a well-defined "S" shape along the length of the hair. While these waves offer stunning volume and texture, they can also lead to issues with frizz, dryness, and damage. Here, we’ll explore how to identify type 2C hair, how to care for it, and which Moo & Yoo products are perfect for keeping those waves frizz-free, hydrated, and healthy!

• Wave Pattern: The waves in type 2C hair are very defined, often starting at the scalp and forming an "S" shape throughout the hair.
• Thick and Coarse Texture: Type 2C hair is typically thicker and coarser than other wavy types, giving it a fuller, more voluminous look.
• Prone to Frizz: Frizz is a major concern with type 2C hair, especially in humid conditions.
• Dryness and Split Ends: The thickness and coarseness of 2C hair make it more susceptible to dryness, which can lead to damage and split ends if not properly cared for.

Here’s how you can keep your waves healthy, hydrated, and beautifully defined:

 

1. Hydrate and Strengthen

Due to its coarse texture, type 2C hair can often feel dry and prone to damage. Hydration is key, so it’s important to use nourishing products that help lock in moisture and strengthen your hair to prevent split ends and breakage.

 

2. Fight Frizz

Frizz can be a constant struggle for 2C hair, particularly in humid weather. To keep your waves sleek and manageable, look for smoothing products that help seal the cuticle and reduce flyaways without weighing your hair down.

 

3. Smoothing and Defining Waves

To maintain the definition of your waves, focus on using lightweight but effective products that enhance your natural texture. Avoid heavy products that can flatten your waves or leave your hair feeling greasy.
