    GlossaryHair Curvature (Hair Curliness)

    degree of curliness or straightness of hair strands

    Hair curvature refers to the degree of curliness or straightness of hair strands. It is determined by the shape of the hair follicle and the distribution of keratin within the hair shaft. Curly hair typically has an oval or asymmetrical follicle, while straight hair has a round follicle. This characteristic can influence hair care practices and styling techniques.
