(2025)"},"content":{"rendered":"<p> <br \/>\n<\/p>\n<div>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Like, for instance, how to brush them. My mother has straight hair and didn&#8217;t quite understand how to deal with my curls when I was a child, so she would deal with unruly hair the only way she knew how: by brushing it. As a result, I look like a poodle in nearly every one of my elementary school photos. According to Syed, brushing and combing curly hair <em>is<\/em> OK\u2014but only when the hair is wet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Unsurprisingly, pin-straight Type 1 hair is the easiest to comb or brush. However, Type 4 hair is not four times harder to comb, as one might expect, but <em>23 times<\/em> more difficult, according to Syed. And that&#8217;s only when it&#8217;s wet. When it&#8217;s dry? \u201cAbout 32 times more difficult to comb,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Curly hair and combs not mixing is not new information to curly-haired folks, but you might not know why this is so. The shaft of a strand of straight hair is uniformly tubular\u2014\u201clike a cylinder,\u201d says Syed\u2014which gives it a uniform structure and a lot of strength. \u201cType 1 hair is almost two times stronger than the coily hair,\u201d he says. The shaft of a strand of curly hair, however, is oval-shaped. The more oval-shaped the shaft, in fact, the curlier the hair ends up being.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Part of this strength\u2014or lack of, in the case of curls\u2014comes from the number of cuticle layers and where they\u2019re distributed. \u201cThe straight hair has about six to 10 layers\u201d throughout, Syed says, \u201cwhereas the coily hair, where it is crimping, only has a couple of layers from the inside of the crimp and then outside six to 10. So it becomes very complicated in its physical structure.\u201d<\/p>\n<div data-testid=\"feature-large-callout\" class=\"CalloutFeatureLargeWrapper-cAQNly bLNMaC\">\n<div

Without this care, the curls can become limp, frizzy, or even lose their pattern permanently.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">This is one of the reasons that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/gallery\/the-best-heat-protectants-for-hair\/\">using a heat protectant<\/a> in your hair care routine is so critical\u2014it provides a barrier between the tool and the hair shaft to keep it from weakening further or drying out. And speaking of drying out, if you have curly hair, you might want to consider trying a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/gallery\/best-hair-masks\/\">hydrating hair mask<\/a> or a tool like Pattern\u2019s hair steamer, which can help high-porosity hair absorb humectants and other moisturizing ingredients more easily.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">\u201cType 4 textures, particularly 4b and 4c hair, can be more difficult to work with if the hair isn\u2019t properly moisturized and detangled,\u201d Boozer says. \u201cThis curl type is prone to dryness, breakage, and shrinkage, and without the right prep, the hair can tangle or snap during styling. Moisture is key, along with gentle detangling methods and protective styling choices that preserve the integrity of the hair.\u201d<\/p>\n<div data-testid=\"feature-large-callout\"
