Which hair type is typically less susceptible to damage from chemical texturizing?

Coarse hair is typically less susceptible to damage from chemical texturizing due to its structure and inherent strength. The thicker cuticle layer in coarse hair provides additional protection against the harsh effects of chemicals compared to fine and medium hair. This robustness allows coarse hair to tolerate more aggressive chemical processes, such as perming or relaxing, with a lower risk of breakage or overall damage.

Fine hair, on the other hand, is more delicate and has a thinner cuticle layer, making it more vulnerable to the potential drying and weakening effects of chemical treatments. Medium hair falls somewhere in between, but it also doesn’t offer the same level of resilience as coarse hair when exposed to chemical processes. Curly hair, while it can tolerate certain chemical applications, may also experience damage depending on its condition and porosity. Thus, coarse hair is generally the safest option for undergoing chemical texturizing without significant risk of damage.
