Curl pattern, density, and texture are different.
Curl pattern is the shape of your hair.
Density is how full your hair is.
Texture is the width of each strand.
You can have thick, full hair with fine strands or thin hair with coarse strands.
If your hair isn’t locked, take one strand and roll it between your fingers or compare it to sewing thread:
Hard to feel or thinner than thread = fine
Feels similar to thread = medium
Feels thicker or wiry = coarse
Texture can be hard to judge on your own, so having a professional look at it can really help.
I’m not crying, you’re crying.

I love how positive and informative this is ❤️ I am just starting my loc journey myself. Is there a way to know your hair texture type?
