What type of hair typically requires more moisture to maintain health?

Straight hair
Wavy hair
Curly hair
Coarse hair

The correct answer is: Curly hair

Curly hair typically requires more moisture to maintain health due to its unique structure and shape. The curls create bends and twists in the hair shaft, which can disrupt the natural flow of sebum (the oil produced by the scalp) down the length of the hair. This means that moisture may not travel as easily through curly hair as it does in straighter hair types. As a result, curly hair tends to be drier and more prone to frizz, making the need for additional moisture critical to keeping it healthy, manageable, and well-nourished. Ensuring adequate hydration helps to enhance the curl pattern, reduces frizz, and prevents breakage, which can be common in curly textures. Therefore, incorporating moisturizing products and treatments specifically designed for curly hair can greatly improve its overall health and appearance.
