Confused about where to begin? Dermatologist and hair specialist Dr Niketa Sonavane recently shared an easy hair mask for type 2b hair, which is best described as wavy hair.
Frizziness is a common problem with people with type 2b hair. While their may be flat and straight at the roots, it becomes wavier at the bottom and forms a prominent and strong ‘S’ shape.
