Curls, Coils, and Waves: How to Care for Every Texture

Not All Curls Are Created Equal

When it comes to natural hair, one size doesn’t fit all. Your curl pattern affects how much moisture your hair needs, how often you should detangle, and which styling methods will yield the best results. Understanding your hair type is the first step to customizing a routine that brings out the best in your texture.

At RevAir, we believe in celebrating the full spectrum of textured hair—because whether you're rocking loose waves or tight coils, your routine should work with your hair, not against it.

Type 2 Hair: Wavy Hair Tips

Texture Traits: Loose, S-shaped waves that can easily get weighed down or frizzy.

Care Tips:

  • Choose lightweight, silicone-free conditioners.
  • Apply frizz-control serums sparingly to prevent greasiness.
  • Air-dry or diffuse with cool air to maintain wave pattern.

Product Pairing: Our Extreme Hydration Detangling Spray is perfect for light moisture and gentle detangling.

Type 3 Hair: Curly Hair Care

Texture Traits: Well-defined curls with lots of bounce. Prone to dryness and frizz.

Care Tips:

  • Use a deep moisture leave-in and layer with a curl-defining cream.
  • Avoid over-manipulation—finger detangling works wonders.
  • Use the RevAir Reverse-Air Dryer on low to stretch curls without disrupting the pattern.

Pro Tip: Seal with Moisture Lock Sealant to reduce frizz and maintain definition for days.

Type 4 Hair: Coily & Kinky Care

Texture Traits: Tight coils or zig-zag patterns. Shrinks up to 75% and craves moisture.

Care Tips:

  • Deep condition weekly and use rich creams and butters.
  • Detangle in sections with a wide-tooth comb or fingers.
  • Protective styles help retain length and minimize manipulation.

Why It Works: RevAir gently stretches and dries coily hair using low heat and tension - cutting drying time while preserving curl health.
