Understanding Natural Hair | A Brief Summary

Understanding natural hair. Have you ever wondered why hair is frizzy, straight, wavy,  curly or coily? Well, here is a brief summary.

The Shape Of The Follicles

The shape of your follicles has a lot to do with your hair being curly, wavy or straight. Straight hair has circular follicles and curly hair have elliptical follicles. Also, the shape of your follicle, the distribution of disulfide bonds, and the growth of your hair strands affect the curliness of your hair.

Why Hair Becomes Frizzy?

Frizzy hair comes from how your hair absorbs water from the atmosphere. Your hair will frizz if you have hair with more disulfide bonds on one side or have hair that grows differently, like those with curly hair.? Since hair with a wave or curly pattern does not absorb water uniformly, you will have water on one side of the hair strand and less on the other causing your hair to get that uneven look called frizz.?
