There's a lot that goes into figuring out your curl type, which is why it can be a little confusing to do. Your hair type and curl pattern are ways for you to describe the natural shape of your hair strands as they grow out of your head. Hair types are broken down into four categories (Type 1 to 4) and then further separated into three subcategories for each type (1A, 1B, 1C, etc.), ending with 12 categories total.

It sounds easy, but the tricky part is determining which one your hair falls into since many of the subcategories have similar appearances, not to mention that it's possible (and very common) for a person to have more than one curl pattern.

Still, if you've looked at all the diagrams and want a general idea of what each hair type looks like, read ahead as we take you through a few examples courtesy of some of your favourite celebrities as your guide.
