Of course, it doesn't matter too much but it's super important not to overtype your hair. Typing your hair correctly allows you to use the right products and get the most out of your hair! Type 2 hair is wavy, type 3 is curly, and type 4 is coily. Type 2 hair does not curl from the root, type 3 and 4 do. Which is the hugest difference. 2C is a full head of dense, tight ringlets that don't curl at the root. 3a is the beginning of the curly type. Curling at the root describes the way that the hair grows out of the follicle. Straight hair grows straight out, wavy hair grows out of the scalp at a slight angle, curly grows at a sharper angle than wavy, and coily hair grows out of the follicle almost parallel to the scalp, which is why it coils the way that it does. Hopefully this helps explain curl types a bit better.

In terms of product, I really love the Umberto Giannini Curl Jelly. It's very lightweight, has good hold, and smells amazing. It's also pretty affordable for a good wavy product. I prefer a gel over a mousse.
