What type of hair requires extra moisture and care?

Straight hair
Curly or wavy hair
Thin hair
Coarse hair

The correct answer is: Curly or wavy hair

Curly or wavy hair requires extra moisture and care due to its unique structure. The natural oils produced by the scalp have a harder time traveling down the twists and bends of curly hair compared to straight hair. As a result, curly hair often tends to be drier and more prone to frizz, which can lead to breakage if not properly maintained. Moisturizing products, such as leave-in conditioners and oils, can help lock in hydration and improve the overall texture and manageability of curly or wavy hair. Regular deep conditioning treatments are also beneficial, as they provide extra nourishment necessary for maintaining healthy curls and waves. Other hair types, like straight or thin hair, have different characteristics and moisturizing needs, while coarse hair may need specific products to help with its density and texture rather than just moisture alone.
