3B hair: care, features and product tips

There are several types of curly hair and anyone who thinks that care is always the same is wrong. There are several factors that classify curls and that can help when choosing a cut, buying shampoos, conditioners and creams.

In general, curly hair has less oil due to the S-shape, which makes it difficult to transport oil from the root to the ends. The hair can look dull if the treatment is not adequate, but the luck of curly hair is that for some time now the cosmetics market has launched a multitude of products suitable for all types of curls.

In addition to the amount of cosmetics available on the market, more and more women have shared their experiences, tricks and tips to democratize curly hair and encourage others to assume their curls.

Type 3B is characterized by defined curls, small and with elasticity, very similar to 3C, with the difference that they have less frizz and lift less easily, since the root is a little smoother.

3B hair care guide

Like any type of hair, 3B hair requires care so that it is always beautiful and, above all, healthy. Hairdresser and chemist Marcos Dal Bello points out that 3B hair requires more care than 3A, as it is curlier, which makes it difficult for nutrients to penetrate the strands. He gave some tips on components that are worth including in your daily hair care.

Marrow: reactivates the blood circulation of the scalp and gives more strength to new hair.

Shea Butter: is an oil extracted from a seed rich in vitamins D and E, essential to moisturize and give shine to curls.

Lanolin: Softens hair and seals cuticles, which helps define curls.

These components are good for your hair, leaving your curls shiny, defined and with incredible volume.
