Hair Type Isn’t a Label—It’s a Language

Your curls don’t need a box to fit into. They need a little understanding.
Because let’s be honest—your hair isn’t “difficult,” it’s just been misunderstood.

We’ve spent years being told our hair is too frizzy, too big, too “unmanageable.” But what if your curls weren’t trying to be tamed—they were trying to talk?

Not a Number. Not a Chart. It’s a Whole Personality.

You’ve probably heard things like 2A, 3C, 4B—as if your hair came with a scientific code you’re supposed to crack.
But this isn’t a math problem. It’s a rhythm. A mood. A vibe.

When you start tuning in to what your hair’s telling you, you stop fighting it and start flowing with it.

If You’ve Got Wavy Hair

Your hair has its own chill. It’s not flat, not full curls—but it dances when it’s happy.

Here’s what waves love:

• Lightweight moisture (too heavy, and they go limp)

• Flexible hold (too light, and frizz takes over)

• Regular TLC

 Try:

• Manetain Volume Gel for that soft, natural bounce

• Manetain Mousse if you want that effortless “I woke up like this” texture

• Manetain Clarifying Shampoo once a month to clear build-up, followed by loads of hydration

If You’ve Got Curly Hair

Curly hair is like that friend who thrives on love and consistency. Give it the right care and it’ll show off like it’s walking a red carpet.

Your routine should start with:

• Manetain Moisturising Shampoo for a gentle cleanse

• Manetain Curl Cream or Leave-In Conditioner to define and hydrate

• Manetain Hard Hold Gel for a shape that doesn’t quit by lunchtime

Think moisture, definition, and hold—in that order. Your curls will love you for it.

If You’ve Got Coily or Kinky Hair

Coils aren’t “difficult.” They’re delicate. And strong. And full of power.

But they need the works:

• Moisture (and then some more)

• Protection (especially at night)

• A routine that celebrates them, not shrinks them

What helps:

• Manetain Co-Wash instead of harsh shampoos

• Weekly love with Ultimate Moisture Therapy or a heat-activated mask using the Washable Heat Cap

• Multipurpose Hair Oil to seal in moisture and keep ends nourished

Let your coils breathe and bounce the way they were always meant to.

Why This Matters (Beyond Wash Days)

If you’ve ever been told to “tame” your hair or “just tie it back,” this is for you.
Because your hair isn’t a problem to be fixed. It’s a part of you to be understood.

Once you stop forcing your hair to look like someone else’s, you start noticing what it needs—and how beautiful it already is.

How to Actually “Listen” to Your Hair

Listening isn’t about staring at your curls in the mirror with a puzzled face. It’s about small clues:

 Is your hair dry? Add moisture.
 Is it limp? Ease off heavy products.
 Is it frizzy? Check the humidity, not just hold.

And then, build your curl-care routine around those clues.

Simple, desi-friendly tips:

• Sleep on a Satin Pillowcase or wrap your hair in a Satin Bonnet

• Use Satin Scrunchies instead of rubber bands that rip

• Dry with a Microfiber Towel Bonnet to reduce breakage

• Stick to your routine—but allow space for change when your hair asks for it

Final Word: You Weren’t Meant to Be Categorised. You Were Meant to Be Heard.

Hair types are not the full story. They’re just the first few lines of your curl-care novel.
Your real power? Comes when you understand your hair, not just label it.

So next time someone says your hair is “too much,” just smile and say:
“It's not difficult. It’s just fluent in its language.”

And now? You finally speak it too.
