The Natural, Textured Haircut That's On Trend For Summer 2021

While natural, textured hairstyles and haircuts can cut down on the time spent getting ready and the money spent at a salon, care is still important. InStyle broke down the different types of natural locks and received insight from celebrity hairstylists Lacy Redway and Ursula Stephen on how to best treat these various groups.

Type 1 ranges straight to a slight wave and does not require much product. Type 2 hair includes beach waves and loose curls, and things like salt spray and leave-in conditioner are good here. Curls, such as loose ones and ringlets, are classified as Type 3, and this type needs a good amount of moisture. Tight ringlets and coils are some of the textures included in Type 4, and this hair type can be dry, making hydration key.

Stay-at-home orders and socially distancing did lead to less damage being done to hair. That being said, it is great to see the distinct and different hair types with which everyone was born and which have recently made a comeback!
