All About Type 3 Hair: The Curls That Don’t Come to Play

She’s curly. She’s cute.

 But she’s not low effort. Let’s act like it.

Type 3 hair be like: “I woke up like this” but forgot to mention the satin bonnet, the pineapple bun, the detangling session, and the five-step product lineup it took to keep it together.

If you’ve got 3A, 3B, or 3C hair, you already know:
It’s giving volume, but it’s also giving “don’t touch my hair.”

We see you and we made GYEB products with your curls in mind.


✨ Type 3 Breakdown

Type 3A Hair - GYEB

3A: Loose, loopy curls. Soft but quick to frizz if left dry.

Type 3A Hair - GYEB

3B: Springy and defined. Prone to dryness and tangles.

Type 3A Hair - GYEB

3C: Tight curls, dense volume, and breakage if you rush through detangling.


💡 What Type 3 Hair Actually Needs

  • Real moisture that soaks in.
  • Definition without stiffness.
  • Slip for detangling (without ripping your strands).
  • Oils that seal, not suffocate.

🔥 GYEB Products That Bring the Bounce Back

🌿 1. GYEB Growth Oil

This oil is lightweight enough to keep curls soft, but strong enough to fight shedding and thinning. Your scalp will love you for it.

Best for:

  • Sealing in moisture after leave-ins
  • Protective style take-downs
  • Stimulating growth around the edges and part line

💧 2. Leave-In Conditioner

Don’t drench your curls—mist them. This spray brings bounce back without making your strands soggy. Great for redefining curls on non-wash days.

Best for:

  • Quick morning routines
  • Refreshing a pineapple bun
  • Reviving curls post-nap

💅 3. Pink Edge Control

Curls don’t mean chaos. This edge control keeps your hairline together without messing up your curl pattern.

Best for:

  • Updos and buns
  • Laying edges without flakes
  • Getting a sleek look without the heat tools

💣 4. Dynamic Duo (Edge Control + Growth Oil)

Sometimes you need moisture and control. This is the perfect combo for curly girls who want strength at the roots and softness all around.

Best for:

  • Creating a routine that doesn’t take all day
  • Post-style care
  • Edges that need a little extra love

🧼 Wash Day Game Plan for Type 3 Hair

  • Use a creamy, sulfate-free cleanser.
  • Detangle in the shower with conditioner and fingers first.
  • Always deep condition—Type 3 hair is thirsty.
  • Apply oil after styling to lock everything in.

💁🏾♀️ Curls Come With Character

Type 3 curls are not one-size-fits-all. They change with the weather, your water, and your mood. But one thing stays true, they deserve care.

If your curls are giving attitude, they probably just need better products.

Let GYEB help you love on your curls the way they’ve been loving on you since forever.
