How to know if I have fine curly hair

How can I tell if I have fine curly hair? I keep hearing people talk about “fine curly hair”—but how do I actually know if that’s what I have?

Ever wonder what people really mean when they say they have fine curly hair?

🌀 “Fine” refers to the width of each individual strand—not how much hair you have.
You can have a full head of curls and still have a fine texture. What makes fine curls different is that they’re:

👉 Easily weighed down
👉 Prone to buildup
👉 Quick to lose volume when products are too heavy

✨ Why This Matters

Fine curls thrive when they’re treated with care. That means:
Lightweight moisture that hydrates without heaviness
Gentle stylers that support curl shape without crunch
Breathable formulas—free of silicones, sulfates, and heavy oils
