Curly hair typically requires more moisture during treatment due to its structure and the way it retains moisture. The natural curl pattern creates bends and twists in the hair shaft, which can lead to dryness because natural oils from the scalp don’t distribute evenly down the hair strands. This can result in curly hair being more prone to frizz and breakage if it doesn't receive adequate hydration.

In treating curly hair, it’s important to use moisturizing products that provide hydration, enhance curl definition, and reduce frizz. This is particularly relevant because curly hair can often appear drier than other types, necessitating a focus on moisture-rich shampoos, conditioners, and leave-in treatments to maintain healthy, bouncy curls.

Other hair types, such as straight or wavy, may not require as much moisture because of their different structures, which allow natural oils to travel more easily down the hair shaft. Coily hair, while also needing moisture, has a specific texture that might require different products and techniques for optimal care, but curly hair is generally recognized for its significant moisture needs.
