Hair Density: Hair density refers to the amount of hair on your head. It can be classified as thin, medium or
thick. Understanding hair density helps determine the amount of layering or thinning required for a hairstyle. For
example, people with thick hair may need layers to reduce density, while individuals with thin hair may benefit
from styles that add density.
Low Density: In individuals with low hair density, there is a larger gap between individual hair strands. The scalp
may be more visible, and hairstyles may appear lighter. This doesn’t necessarily mean that the individual has
fewer hairs; rather, the hairs are spaced further apart.
Medium Density: Medium hair density is considered average. In this case, there is a balanced distribution of
hair strands across the scalp. The scalp is less visible than in low-density hair, and a variety of hairstyles can be
achieved.
High Density: High hair density means that there is a large number of hair follicles per square inch, and the scalp
is less visible. Individuals with high hair density often have thick and full-looking hair. Styling may require more
effort due to the abundance of hair.This information helps in choosing a hairstyle that complements their natural
hair characteristics.
Hair texture: Hair texture refers to the thickness or fineness of individual hairs. Common textures include straight,
wavy, curly or coiled. Different textures respond differently to different haircuts and styling techniques. A good
stylist considers your natural texture when suggesting hairstyles, as some cuts can enhance or detract from the
natural curl or wave of your hair.
Straight Hair: Straight hair has a smooth and sleek texture. The hair strands are typically round and lie flat against
the scalp. Straight hair reflects light well, giving it a shiny appearance. It tends to be less prone to frizz than other
textures.
Wavy Hair: Wavy hair falls somewhere between straight and curly. It has a gentle, undulating pattern, forming an
“S” shape. Wavy hair can range from loose, beachy waves to more defined and structured waves. This texture
often has a natural volume and body.
Curly Hair: Curly hair has a distinct spiral or corkscrew pattern. The curls can vary in
tightness, ranging from loose curls to very tight coils. Curly hair tends to be more prone to frizz and may require
specific care to maintain definition and moisture.
Kinky/Coily Hair: Coily hair is a natural hair texture characterized by tight curls or coils.
