20 2c hair photos and tips to rock the look

Knowing the type of curvature of the wires can be a facilitator when finishing the hair and applying the necessary care on a daily basis. For those who are in doubt about 2c hair, hairdresser Alessandra Borsodi explains how to identify and what are the main characteristics of this type of hair. Check out!

What is and how to identify 2c hair

According to Alessandra, before talking about the type of curvature, it is important to understand where this division comes from. And it comes from the table of curls, created from studies made on straight strands. The table separates this diversity into 4 groups, each with subdivisions.

Group 1ABC represents straight yarns; 2ABC, wavy hair; 3ABC, the curly ones; 4ABC, the curly ones. The letters indicate whether the curvature is looser or more closed.

How to identify 2c hair

The 2ABC classification therefore pertains to wavy hair. According to the professional, hair 2c is identified by the smoothest root, forming wide curls between the middle and the ends, but not as defined as group 3.

As it is just a parameter, it is possible that the wires do not strictly follow the information available for this hair group. Still, Adriana has 5 characteristics of wavy hair. See below!

2c hair features

For each feature, an expert tip on what to do on a daily basis. Take a look!

• Oily roots with dry ends: Alessandra explains that the roots are usually oily and the ends are drier because of the tighter curl compared to the rest of the hair. To solve this, she indicates low poo sanitizer, in addition to not going more than 2 days without washing your hair.
• Resistance: for hair without chemical structure modification, the professional recommends treating it with hydronutrition. For hair with chemistry, even if only toning, do reconstruction every 15 days.
• Poorly defined curls: “It is important not to use products that are too heavy to finish. I would invest in a finishing cream that does not have a very large amount of oils in the composition”, indicates the hairdresser.
• Few “day after”: “to hold the texture more, a great tip is to use a good gelatine together with a good hair mousse. This duo has no mistake”, he says.
• Little need for wetting: when doing the treatment, Alessandra recommends applying it with light vegetable oils, such as grape or jojoba.

“For those who are afraid of losing the curvature of the wire, it is worth remembering that one of the main precautions is not to expose the hair to excess brush and iron. It is not forbidden to do it sometimes, when you want to change the look. But if you do it every week you run a serious risk of going through a mechanical straightening. When that happens, unfortunately, you’ll need to go through a big chop to get your curls back. So be careful”, warns Alessandra.
