The Ultimate Hair Type Guide – Kinky Hair
Welcome back to our final instalment of the series. In part 4 we tackle the last hair type and learn the fundamentals of kinky hair. For those with thick, coarse locks, keep reading! Kinky natural hair can be tough (literally) to handle, usually belonging to people of African and/or Caribbean descent. Many women opt for protective styles — such as weave, extensions or braids — to prevent breakage. Kinky hair is laden with misconceptions: contrary to popular belief, although it’s tightly coiled, kinky hair is very fragile by nature. Due to the complex zig-zag shape of the individual hair strand, the sebum oil cannot reach past an inch or two down the hair shaft. Handle these delicate, dazzling locks with care.

The Ultimate Hair Type Guide – Curly Hair
We’re back with another one: all the ladies with spiral curls stand up! There’s no doubt that this hair is a little high maintenance. Type three hair is described as having a tight, springy curl pattern, with the strand usually forming an ‘S’ shape. Although having a tendency to frizz, type three hair has a lot of body and few detangling problems. This hair usually suffers from dryness due to it’s full-bodied texture. Remember the sebum oil from part one? Well, this isn’t heavy enough to reach past the curls of a single strand. Lack of proper care results in dull curls, so it’s best to keep this hair as healthy and happy as you can; one wrong move could leave you with greasy, weighed-down curls.

The Ultimate Hair Type Guide – Wavy Hair
Fancy seeing you here again. For the ladies with sleek, wavy locks, this one is for you! Type two hair is a little more complex; these naturally wavy strands form a loose ‘S’ shape, lying somewhere between straight and curly hair. You get the best of both worlds, as type two hair transmits sheen more than curly hair but less than straight hair. This means it is rarely dry and easily manageable. The only downside — if you can call it that — is that wavy hair is typically more susceptible to frizz. It’s best to keep your fingers out of wavy hair; the more you tousle it, the more frizz you get.
The Ultimate Hair Type Guide – Straight Hair
It’s time to learn more about your hair! In this series you’ll get more intimate with your locks to determine what hair type category you belong to, and you’ll learn how your hair type determines what products work best to make your hair blossom to its fullest potential. If you weren’t too sure about the curl pattern or texture that best describes your hair and it’s behaviour, here at BriaHair is where you’ll find out.

Latest hair trends you would want to try
As the year draws to an end, we examined some of the biggest hair trends that rocked the beauty scene this season, read on to get inspiration for your year-end looks.
Natural curls
Embrace your natural curls; this season witnessed the popularity of natural, textured curls, the bigger the better. Do not stifle your mane with heavy products instead use a light serum to tame the frizz with your fingers so that you don’t lose your natural coils.
Big and bouncy
Stylists and celebs have welcomed the early-80s craze for big and bouncy hair but with a modern twist. Think of shiny, healthy locks with broken curls (yes, Victoria Secret Angels). To achieve this style, blow dry your hair and curl it with a large-barrel curling tong in opposite directions. If you crave more volume, feel free to pop in some hair extensions, and lastly, finger comb your hair to loosen the curls and give it that sexy undone look.
Scrunchies
Instagram is flooded with influencers bringing back the garish 90s scrunchies.Scrunchies can be paired with anything but we prefer to keep our outfits fairly simple and neutral to enhance the effect of the colourfully designed accessory.
High shine ponytails
Depict strength and confidence. Amp up your look with a clean high/ low ponytail paired with a red lip to bring out the invincible you. When going for the perfectly dead straight look, straighten your hair and apply a little gel to tame the flyaways and baby hairs.
Retro
Inspired by the 2017 Dolce and Gabbana runway, with a theme of realness, femininity and romanticism. Think of the 60s when hairstyles were voluminous, perfected and elegant. Do not fret if you are in need of some extra volume and backcombing is not your jam, grab a few wefts of hair extension to achieve your desired length and thickness.
The bed head
The run-out-of-bed post-sex hair made a return to the runways this season. The is literally the easiest hairstyle to recreate because we probably don’t need to do anything except play the part, jokes apart, just grab a texturising spray and zhoosh up your tresses to your liking.
Slick back hair
Enough celebs have made appearances with this look to let you know that it is definitely in trend, not to mention the innumerable catwalk looks with slick back wet hair. If ‘sexy’ is what you are going for this party season then pair this hairstyle with a sleek satin dress and I bet you won’t look less than a Bond girl.
All of these trends are easy to achieve, try and see which ones suit you best and don’t forget to let us know how you got on in the comment section below.
