One ritual does not fit four hair types. Match yours below.
Straight hair
The ritual most product ads assume. Sulfate-free shampoo 2–3x weekly, light conditioner on ends, water-based pomade for style. Blow-dry with a round brush if you want lift.
Wavy hair
Wash twice weekly to preserve texture. Curl-friendly conditioner (heavier than straight). Matte paste for style — never anything shiny that flattens the wave.
Curly hair
Wash once a week, water-rinse other days. Rich conditioner every wash. Leave-in cream for definition. Never brush dry — pick or comb wet only.
Coily hair
Once-weekly gentle wash. Deep condition every wash. Daily oil (light for the hair, heavier for the scalp if dry). Satin pillowcase or bonnet.
Hair Essentials Kit — shampoo, conditioner, pomade. Tune the dose to your type.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know my hair type?+
Wash, air-dry, no product. Straight stays straight. Wavy forms loose S-shapes. Curly forms defined loops. Coily forms tight coils or zig-zags.
