Texture
Curious as to why it might be easier or harder for your hair to hold a style than others? While there are multiple factors, one very important to consider is your hair texture!
Make no mistake, we're not talking about the shape your strands form (pattern) or how much is on your head (density). Texture is the circumference of your individual hair strands which is defined as either fine, medium, or coarse in width. Click the icons to learn more!

TEXTURE TEST #1
Hold a single strand of hair between your thumb and index finger. If you can barely feel the strand between your fingers, you have fine hair. If you can feel the hair strand slightly, you have medium hair. If you can distinctly feel the hair strand, you have coarse hair.
TEXTURE TEST #2
Another way to determine your hair texture is to compare your strand of hair to sewing thread. Place a hair strand along the length of a sewing thread. If your hair strand is thicker than the thread, you have coarse hair. If your hair strand is more or less the same thickness as the thread, you have medium hair. If your hair strand is significantly thinner than the thread, you have fine hair.
