Curl Type

９つのカールタイプから
自分のカールに近いタイプを見つけよう

Powerful curls that can withstand gravity

COILY (コイリー)

Curl type: 4a/4b/4c


This type features the finest curls.

The fine curls are densely packed, creating the sensation of abundant hair. However, even if you grow your hair, the curls will shrink significantly, making it seem as though your hair doesn't grow easily.

As the curl type gets stronger, it tends to become drier and more susceptible to breakage. To achieve shiny and well-defined curls, it's crucial to moisturize each strand and apply a gel or similar product.

Phantasmagoric Bouncy Curl

CURLY (カーリー)

Curl type: 3a/3b/3c


A curl type that can be easily wrapped around your finger.

Short hair tends to curl strongly, and if it is long, the curl may stretch due to its weight. It dries quickly and spreads easily, so it is necessary to thoroughly moisturize and style.

Over time, it tends to dry out, so if you use a gel to prevent this, you can maintain your curls for an extended period.

Captivating surfing curl

WAVY (ウェービー)

Curl type: 2a/2b/2c


A large "S-shaped" curl type.

hese curls tend to lose their shape easily due to damage and the weight of long hair, so you need to use a light product to help define the curls.
If you want to achieve well-defined curls, it is effective to apply a generous amount of gel and then use a diffuser to dry and hold the curls.

Easy to get in and out of water

High porosity
(ハイポロシティ)

SSince the cuticle of the hair strand is wide open, moisture can easily enter and escape.

The cuticle is like the many gates on the surface of the hair strand. If these gates are wide open, a lot of water can enter, but if the gates are left open, the water cannot be retained.

Your hair starts to dry as soon as you take a bath. High porosity hair dries extremely fast.

★POINT
By moisturizing the hair with curl cream, you can reduce volume, and by coating with gel, you can maintain beautiful curls for an extended period.

Moisture can easily enter and escape easily

Medium Porosity
(ミディアムポロシティ)

The cuticle is moderately open to allow water to enter and is closed moderately to prevent water from escaping.

Continue daily hair care to maintain medium porosity.

★POINT
Protect your hair from strong friction and heat. When you go to bed at night, wear a satin nightcap.

Hard to get in and out of water

Low Porosity
(ローポロシティ)

Since the cuticle is tightly closed, the gap for water to enter is narrow.

Low porosity hair has tightly closed cuticles, making it hard for water to enter or escape.

When you try to wet your hair with a shower or water spray, it doesn't easily soak in, so it dries quickly after a bath.

★POINT
To help moisture penetrate, wrap your hair in a hot towel before treatment or wear a plastic cap during treatment to open the cuticles.
