HAIR BRAIDING STYLES DESCRIPTION:
What is a Natural hair?
Natural hair comes in three types: Virgin Natural, Chemically-Treated Natural, and Heat-Treated Natural.
- Virgin Natural Hair: This hair hasn't been treated with chemicals or heat. Each hair has three bonds, and with virgin natural hair, all three bonds remain unaltered.
- Chemically-Treated Natural Hair: This hair has been relaxed or textured, altering one or two bonds to achieve a permanent straightened look.
- Heat-Treated Natural Hair: This hair is pressed or flat-ironed, temporarily altering one or two bonds to straighten it. With frequent heat use, one bond may stay altered permanently.
WHAT IS HAIR TEXTURE?
Hair texture refers to the size of the hair strand's circumference. Professionals categorize hair texture as "coarse," "medium," or "fine." Coarse hair has the widest circumference, while fine hair has the narrowest.
