What's Curl Behavior (+ How It Promotes Growth)?

Welcome to a world of curls! We describe the adorable things that baby curls do and why they do them.

Curls Stick Together

Baby curls intentionally clump together. This is how they stay hydrated and naturally protect themselves.

Curls Overlap

Baby curls stack and overlap in beautifully intricate ways. It can be hard to see where one curl starts and the other ends. This complex intermingling is super efficient at keeping baby's head warm, covered, and protected.

Curls Are Multi-Directional

Curls point in all different directions. As an extension of baby's nervous system, they're job is to take in signals from every inch of baby's surroundings.

Curls Are Unpredictable

Ever wonder why some hairs stand up while others lay down. Hairs bending and winding are healthy signs of growth. So if you see a hair doing its own thing -- don't worry, it's becoming a curl!
