Type 3 hair
Curly hair that forms spirals and ringlets, from loose 3A loops to tight 3C corkscrews.
Also: curly hair, 3A, 3B, 3C
Type 3 is curly hair. Each strand forms a spiral. 3A curls are loose and about the width of a thick marker; 3B curls are springier; 3C curls are tight corkscrews close to the width of a pencil. Curly hair shrinks as it dries, so a stylist often cuts it dry, curl by curl, to see where each one sits. It tends to be drier at the ends because scalp oil travels down a spiral less easily.
