    GlossaryCurly Hair

    hair that forms spirals or waves due to follicle shape

    Curly hair refers to hair that naturally forms ringlets, spirals, or waves due to the shape of the hair follicle and the distribution of keratin along the hair shaft. The curl pattern is determined by the shape of the hair follicle; oval or asymmetrical follicles produce curls, while round follicles produce straight hair. Curly hair can vary widely in texture and curl tightness, often requiring specific care and styling techniques to maintain its health and appearance.

      The user has trouble applying minoxidil foam to their long, curly hair and experiences product buildup, leading to frequent hair washing. They are considering switching to liquid minoxidil but are concerned about scalp sensitivity and do not want to use oral treatments. Another user suggests that topical minoxidil doesn't need to be applied to the entire scalp to be effective.
