And if you’re a 2B head, you know that you’ve got more texture than your looser-waved 2A sisters on the left but not as much as the 2Cs on the right. Knowing how to care for your hair is essential—and not just because you want to look presentable when you leave the house every day. But because when you figure out what works (and what doesn’t), as well as factors like wash frequency and porosity, giving your tresses the TLC they deserve becomes significantly easier....
