Walker's scale

The Walker scale classifies hair based on two characteristics: texture and thickness. Textures are classified by numbers while thickness is classified by letters. It is from this scale that curly, almost kinky hair is classified as 3c.

Characteristics of 3c hair

3c hair is curly and its curls are very tight. This hair type is shaped like a corkscrew. The curls are often very dense and very curly. Among type 3 hair, they have the tightest curl pattern. They have S-shaped curls. It should be kept in mind that different textures can coexist. The curl pattern can vary on different areas of the hairstyle.

Soft to the touch, 3c hair is nevertheless vulnerable to dryness . It can frizz and break easily. These problems can be solved when the hair type is correctly identified and the proper care is provided.

3c Hair Care

3c hair curls need their natural oils to stay healthy, soft and moisturized. When washing 3c hair, use a sulfate-free shampoo. This way, there is no risk of losing the natural oils. A sulfate-free shampoo and a moisturizing conditioner are the ideal combination for this hair type.

It is recommended to wash your hair 3c once a week. For high porosity hair, you can apply protein treatments at least twice a month. Porosity is a measure of your hair's ability to absorb moisture.

3c hair should be taken care of at night, otherwise dry ends and brittle hair may form. It is recommended to sleep with a satin bonnet or wrap your hair in a silk scarf . This will help your hair retain its shape. If your hair is not covered, you should at least sleep on a silk pillowcase.

3c hair tends to dry out faster than other hair types, so it needs even more moisture than others. Curls tend to block the flow of oil to the surface of the hair. Moisturizing shampoos help maintain hair, but you still need to moisturize your hair every day. Moisturizers can be used, but water will do the trick too.

Hair can also be conditioned by applying a 30-minute treatment once a week using jojoba or coconut oil.

Satisfaite

Je suis très satisfaite du kit lissage bresilien en espérant que sa dure dans le temps ( je l'ai fait ce matin) le soin inclu dedans fait briller les cheveux.
Explication sur le dépliant parfait étape par étape ( prévoyez une matinée)
Seul bémol que j'aurai à dire et qu'il manque c'est les équipements pour le faire bol pinces gants peigne a bec, à voir si sa ne peut pas être inclus. Car moi j'ai perdu une journée pour l'avoir commander à part
Mais sinon je recommande à 1000%

Est ce que le lissage au fer est obligatoire pour fixer ou un brushing peut suffit?
