FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do I know my hair type?

Your hair type is based on your curl pattern, which ranges from straight (Type 1) to coily (Type 4). You can identify it by looking at the shape of your strands when they’re clean, detangled, and air-dried.

Can I have more than one hair type?

Yes! Most people have a mix — for example, Type 3 curls at the crown and Type 4 coils near the nape. That’s why layering products for different needs can make a big difference.

Why do different hair types need different products?

Each curl pattern affects how natural oils travel down the strand. Tighter curls need more moisture and protein support, while looser patterns benefit from lightweight strengthening formulas.

Can I switch between collections?

Absolutely. Hair needs can change with seasons, styling habits, or scalp health — it’s all about listening to your hair and finding what works best for your texture.

What does curly hair usually need?

Curly hair thrives on moisture, definition, and curl-friendly ingredients that keep the pattern hydrated and frizz-free.

How can I get more definition in my curls?

Layer lightweight moisture first, then style with curl-enhancing products. The Classic Leave-In or Long & Luxe Leave-In paired with a Curl Color shade gives definition plus hold.

How often should curly hair be washed?

Curly hair benefits from washing every 4–7 days. Co-washing or alternating with gentle cleansers keeps curls hydrated and healthy.

How do I prevent frizz with curly hair?

Use hydrating products and avoid rough drying. The JBCO collection and Classic collection help smooth the cuticle and reduce frizz between and on wash days.

Are As I Am products safe for color-treated or relaxed hair?

Yes. All As I Am products are sulfate-free, silicone-free, and safe for chemically treated or color-treated hair.
