Level 1 -3 (black to dark brown) This is the darkest level out of all the natural hair colours. Due to this, achieving a platinum blonde shade without significantly damaging your hair is difficult; it will also require multiple bleach sessions to achieve the desired levels of lift.
Types 1 to 3 are common in white populations, though there are some white people with type 4 hair. Types 3 and 4 are common in black people, though there are some Africans and people of African ancestry with type 1 and 2 hair.
To determine your level, take a section of hair from the crown of your head and hold it out where you can see it, away from the rest of your hair. Then, compare it to our level chart, with level 1 being the darkest (black) and level 10 being the lightest (light blonde).
These levels are used to describe how dark or light your hair color is. Level 10 is the lightest blond, level 9 is light blond, level 8 is medium blond, level 7 is dark blond, level 6 is light brown, level 5 is medium brown, level 4 is dark brown, level 3 is darkest brown, level 2 is black-brown, and level 1 is black.
Level 1: Black. Level 2: Darkest Brown. Level 3: Dark Brown. Level 4: Medium Brown.
The key differences are that Level 4 courses are equivalent to the first year of university study, so focus more on complex topics and theory compared to the more practical Level 3 courses. Level 4 also allows progression to higher education and jobs, while Level 3 prepares for entry-level roles and further training.
Identifying your curl shape and pattern(s) is best determined while your hair is sopping wet. A simple breakdown: Type 1s are straight, Type 2s are wavy, Type 3s are curly, and Type 4s are coily. Easy, right? The sub-classifications of A to C are based on the width or diameter of your wave, curl, or coil.
The level system is made up of 10 numbers which help determine the depth level of your natural hair. 1 is black, 5 is light brown, 6 is dark blonde, 7 is blonde and 10 is the lightest blonde.
Below is the hair level system broken up by lighter and darker colors and levels: Darker hair: Hair Level 1: Black. Hair Level 2: Darkest brown.
The level system is a range of hair color shades from dark to light. This system of levels is used by hair color manufacturers to communicate the darkness or lightness of a shade. Better Natured hair color levels range from 1-10, with 1 being the darkest (black) and 10 being the lightest (lightest blonde).
Hair color 2 is dark brown. 1b (off-black) lies between 1 (jet black) and 2 (dark brown). 1b has naturally black hair and 2 has the darkest brown hair, 1B is the darker of the two.
Type 3 hair is a curly hair texture with a definitive 's' pattern. They are also spiral curls, ranging from loose and bouncy loops to tight and springy textures similar to corkscrews. The hair follicles are oval, resulting in each strand's curl.
3A hair specifically is a fairly common curl type, though it's not always easy to identify because of its similarity to other curl patterns in the type 3 category.
Curl Pattern: Type 1 hair, otherwise known as straight hair, is defined by having no curl pattern. Type 2 hair, as we mentioned above, has an S-shaped curl. Type 3 hair has tighter corkscrew-shaped curls. Finally, type 4 hair has the tightest curls of all, either being corkscrew shaped or in a zig-zag pattern.
Moving on to natural hair types, it's crucial to recognize that Black hair is often categorized into four types – Type 1 (straight), Type 2 (wavy), Type 3 (curly), and Type 4 (coily).
Type 1A: The rarest hair type, this one is very straight and fine with a “wispy” appearance. It's very difficult to get it to hold a curl. Type 1B: Though still straight, this type has a medium (rather than fine) texture and a little more volume.
3A hair is a type of hair that has well-defined, loose curls that resemble the shape of a loose spiral. Some even say it's similar in circumference to a piece of sidewalk chalk. These curls are not too tight but are more defined than wavy hair.
Level 3: Dark Brown. Level 4: Medium Brown. Level 5: Light Brown. Level 6: Dark Blonde.
For example, you might say that you have brown hair. But, do you actually have dark brown hair, medium brown hair, or light brown hair? Levels 1 and 2 include the darkest black colors. Levels 3 – 4 are the darkest browns, level 5 is a medium brown, and levels 6 & 7 are considered light brown.
If you were lucky enough to be born as a natural 7.0, your technical colour description is Medium Blonde. Chances are you consider your hair to be any shade from fair to light brown, dirty blonde, mousy and other equally unflattering descriptions – but in reality, you've won the hair shade lottery!
Level 1 courses provide basic knowledge, and are ideal if you're new to a subject area. Level 2 courses are slightly more advanced and begin to build specialist knowledge. Level 3 courses develop specialist knowledge and can help you to enter employment or prepare you for university study.
Level 3 qualifications are: A level. access to higher education diploma. advanced apprenticeship.
Level III is the more basic of the two courses, while Level IV is the most advanced one that provides students with more specialised skill sets. The Level IV course helps to prepare students for leadership and management positions by providing more advanced training to develop more advanced skills.
