What is Coily Hair?
Coily hair refers to hair textures that naturally form tight, deep curls or tightly coiled patterns, defined by their distinct coiling structure rhythms. Unlike straight or wavy hair types, coily textures emerge from hair follicles that produce curls with angular, compact coils—often classified under a curly hair type in broader categories but distinct in texture and care needs. This natural structure typically results from a high curl pattern, shaped by genetic and environmental factors, and varies widely among individuals, even within the same family line.
In the US market, interest in coily hair is rising due to greater cultural visibility, social media influence, and a growing demand for authentic representation
