Type 2 - Lax & Loose (Wavy)

1. Type 2 hair is our lax and loose hair type, also known as wavy hair. This hair type is naturally wavy and forms an “S” shape
2. Type 2 hair is not as oily as Type 1 because of the slight texture it has, but type 2 hair is not completely free from combating oil or dryness.
3. Type 2 also tends to be thicker than Type 1 hair. Consider Type 2 as the happy medium between curls and straight hair.

A few celebrities that have the wavy hair type: Scarlett Johansson, Lorde, Kate Hudson

 
Type 2A 
Type 2A hair has several loose, natural, beachy waves. This hair type has a slight bend that forms more of “C” shape when dry. Type 2A tends to be the least frizzy in
all the Type 2 hair categories. This hair type can be easily weighed down when you apply too much product. 
Type 2B 
Type 2B hair has waves that are clearly defined and tightly drawn, think of surfer curls. This hair type tends to be frizzer than Type 2A and the waves form an “S” shape when dry. 
Type 2C 
Type 2C hair has defined waves that start the roots and is thicker than the other subcategories. This hair type starts to form loose spiral curls and has that “S” shape. Type 2C tends to be the most prone to frizz of the Type 2 category. 

Tips & Tricks for the Lax & Loose

With wavy hair, the biggest frustration is that it tends to frizz. To keep wavy hair at its best, you have to find the perfect balance between controlling frizz and not weighing down the natural curl your hair has.
Essentially, you have to add moisture and volume all while keeping the waves. The key is not being heavy handed when applying products to your hair.  
Recommended Products: Shoot for shampoos and conditioners specifically designed to hydrate and moisturize your hair. You can try using a moisturizing hair mask once a week to help lock in that hydration and reduce your frizz. 
Styling Tips: The key to keeping your hair frizz free is to touch it as minimally as possible. When your hair is damp, you can apply a little styling mousse or cream from root to tip to keep that frizz away. 

 

BEST OIL FOR WAVY HAIR

when it comes to wavy hair, the daily heat styling, regular color changes or slacking on the split-end trims, it seems we all have a vice when it comes to keeping our hair in top condition. But whatever your complaints may be, a hair oil could well be the hero you are looking for.

Doll Up - Rich in fatty acids and vitamin E, it can help turn dry, coarse and unruly hair into softer and shinier and more manageable tresses, while cutting dryness of the scalp, dandruff, frizz and fly-aways too.
