Curly Hair
CURLY HAIR — TYPE 3
Definition Has Dimension.
Curly hair belongs to the Type 3 family, ranging from large, loose curls to tighter, springier patterns with greater density and volume.
Knowing whether your hair leans 3A, 3B, or 3C gives you a starting point when choosing extensions—but curl size alone doesn’t determine your best match. Density, strand feel, volume, shrinkage, definition, and your desired finish all influence how an extension texture will blend and behave.
3A — LOOSE + DEFINED
3A hair typically forms larger, loose curls with visible definition and natural movement. The curl pattern tends to have a wider circumference and may appear more relaxed as the hair gains length.
Think: Loose • Defined • Soft • Fluid
If your hair is 3A, look beyond the word “curly.” Consider how loose you want the curl to fall and whether you prefer a naturally irregular pattern or a more consistent curl throughout.
3B — SPRINGY + FULL
3B hair typically forms smaller, springier curls with more volume and definition than 3A. The pattern is noticeably curly from root to end and may have greater natural fullness.
Think: Springy • Defined • Full • Dimensional
For a natural-looking blend, consider both curl circumference and density. Two curly textures can have similar curl sizes but look completely different because of their fullness and movement.
3C — TIGHT + DENSE
3C hair typically features tight, densely packed curls with significant volume and spring. Individual curls have a smaller circumference and may experience more visible shrinkage.
Think: Tight • Dense • Springy • Voluminous
If your hair leans 3C, density and strand character become especially important. A curl that looks similar in pattern but lacks fullness may not create the blend you’re expecting.
CHOOSING YOUR BELLMAZI™ CURL
Your 3A–3C type describes your natural curl pattern. Your Bellmazi™ texture determines the curl character, movement, fullness, and finished look you choose to create.
Bellmazi offers curls across different collections because curly isn’t one texture.
LUXE RAW™ — NATURAL CURLY
For naturally occurring curl character.
LUXE RAW™ Natural Curly showcases the authentic variation found in raw hair. Rather than every curl appearing identical, expect natural differences in curl formation, movement, and texture that contribute to a more organic finish.
Best for: Natural curl variation • Raw character • Dimensional texture • Premium longevity
SIGNATURE™ — CURLY
For defined texture with greater consistency.
Signature™ curly textures are designed for customers who want a more predictable curl pattern while maintaining softness, fullness, movement, and styling versatility.
Depending on the texture selected, the curl can range from looser and flowing to deeper and more defined.
Best for: Defined curls • Consistency • Fullness • Styling versatility
ESSENTIALS™ — CURLY
For versatile, everyday curls.
Essentials™ curly textures feature premium Remy human hair and offer an accessible way to achieve a soft, full curly look for everyday wear.
Best for: Everyday curls • Premium Remy • Versatility • Accessible luxury
YOUR TYPE DOESN’T LIMIT YOUR CURL
Having 3A hair doesn’t mean you have to purchase a loose curl, and having 3C hair doesn’t mean you have to choose the tightest Bellmazi curl.
The 3A–3C system helps you understand your natural pattern.
Your extension choice should also consider:
Curl Size • Density • Strand Feel • Shrinkage • Volume • Installation Method • Maintenance • Desired Finish
You may want your extensions to disappear into your natural curl—or you may want an entirely different curl experience.
Your pattern is the starting point. Your curl is the choice.
