We believe knowing your curl pattern is important — however, at DevaCurl® determining your hair texture is even more important in finding what your waves, curls or coils need.

When we say 'hair texture' or 'curl texture', we refer to the thickness or width of the individual hair strand, better known as fine, medium or coarse. That's because waves, curls and coils can be fine, medium or coarse. Curl pattern, which we reference as waves, curls and coils, speaks to your strands' shape.


No matter if you have waves, curls, or coils you can have fine, medium or coarse texture.

THE STRAND TEST
The easiest way to determine your hair texture is by taking a single strand and laying it flat on a white piece of paper.

If your hair is not easy to see or feel between your fingertips, appears thin, and may not hold styles well, you have fine hair texture.

If your hair is visible, not hard to feel between fingertips, appears full, and holds styles fairly well, you have medium hair texture.

Lastly, if your hair is highly visible, easily felt between fingertips, appears very full, and holds styles very well, your hair texture is considered coarse.
