Curly hair 2c is a hair type characterized by loose, S-shaped curls that are well-defined and bouncy. It falls between 2b and 3a on the Andre Walker Hair Typing System, which is commonly used to classify curly hair textures.
Curly hair 2c is often considered the ideal curl type, as it is easy to manage and style. It is also less prone to frizz and breakage than tighter curl patterns. This hair type has been celebrated in various cultures throughout history, with famous examples including Queen Nefertiti of ancient Egypt and the 19th-century French actress Sarah Bernhardt.
