Abstract:
Research indicates that 60% of the global population has textured hair, with studies revealing that 56% of individuals in the United States share this type of hair. Alarmingly, approximately 20% of this demographic lacks the necessary knowledge for effective hair care, leading to minimal maintenance efforts and a hesitancy to embrace their natural curls. This trend is particularly prominent among teens and young adults of both genders. Consequently, education is a crucial factor in enlightening individuals about appropriate products and optimal methods for textured hair. The foundational step in understanding textured hair lies within the classification of hair types and curl patterns. To bridge the knowledge gap and empower individuals with textured hair, the website “Curly This, Curly That” aims to educate them through a combination of practical tips and relatable stories from others who share similar experiences. Essentially, the effort is the creation of a dedicated website, serving as a comprehensive resource where people with textured hair can collectively learn and grow. Through accessible information and shared insights, this platform seeks to assist a community that embraces and celebrates the diverse beauty of textured hair.
