I am still confused! 1a or 1b. Every hair stylist I can remember has always commented how baby fine, thin and super soft my hair is but has never ever said anything about my hair being oily in any way! I have had a few stylist get so frustrated when attempting to curl my hair. They get about halfway or so and you couldn’t tell they had done anything at all. The only way my hair will hold a curl long enough to make it out of the salon is by using extreme amounts of product (basically gluing my hair in place) which may last a few hours depending on the weather or perming it, both of which I hate. A damp/wet mop has more umf. Putting my hair in a ponytail is approximately the circumference of a dime. My roots dry super fast (in minutes) and takes longer to dry the further down ya go. I detest spending more than 5 minutes doing my hair!!! Everyday is the same, brush, ponytail, braid, pin then cover with a Buff to keep any hair from touching my face (that’s another entire can of tactile and sensory issues).
I'm definitely a mix of 1c-2b. When I cut my hair short, they're pretty much straight and quite smooth and silky. But as they grow, my waves tend to show a bit more on my mid sections and the ends look dryer.
You are probably one of my favourite hair CZcamsrs because ou are the first one to correctly explain straight hair and its relation to oiliness, which debunks the whole "don't wash for a week its unhealthy" myth. I fall under the 1b/1c type, because my hair can be frizzy at times and I have more bends. Its definitely extremely difficult to style, unless I use sticky mousse. Exhausting! thanks for the vid
I think my hair is between 1b and 1c and my hairstylist said it is normal scalp with normal scalp sebum production with mild sensitivity but my hair always feels so dry LOL (it snaps all the time although my hair is medium coarse hair type!) And definitely my hair got bends. And most of the time hairdressers usually seems don't really like to handle my type of Asian hair LOL 1a hair is so blessed because literally this kind of hair rock any bobs or pixie bobs! While my 1b/1c hair because of the weird bends, asymmetrical choppy long pixie-bob actually looks unexpectedly stunning on me! =O I can't take symmetrical or super blunt chin length haircuts because I look so dumb and kind of nerdy people from poor rural area in the symmetrical hair LOL
I’m 1c/2a I started the curly girl method and it fixed my frizz, dryness and gave me some really lovely 2a waves. I recommend that all 1c at least try this, because you probably just have wavy hair lol.
Before you all come for me, my hair would coil when wet and dry many different ways without product, my hair is fine and thin, so bite me all you wavy gatekeepers.
me too!! my hair has always been really poofy and frizzy and had a bend to it but i always thought it was “dead straight”, i’ve been taking more care of it and i have a mixture of 2A-B and it’s AMAZING!!
My hair is also 1c/2A ish, dry, frizz, thick and abundant. It has texture straight out of the shower, so I’ll try the curly method to add more definition.
I'm honestly sooooo confused about my hair, but i think i have 1c? But anyways, what do u do to detangle your hair between your wash days without creating frizz?
I’m a 1A haha! My hair is impossible to style, so frustrating trying to get some volume. I wonder what I can do to make it look good without fighting it anymore.
This video is great. I believe I have a mixture of 1a and 1b. My hair is so soft and silky that I dont even need to use conditioner if its not dyed. But it also a greasy mess if I dont wash every other day.
I was born with type 1 thick hair. It was like silk. Glassy shiny 1A. Because it was so straight it looked thin although my hair was so dense! I could hold a perm for a week. A week! Now I am turning 40. My hair is ling but damaged from dying and blow drying. Because of the dryness, it will have a bit more volume and a slight bend. Now it's closer to 1B or even 2A. Chlorine in the city water has changed my hair too. Growing up I had spring water and it made a huge difference.
Same here. I was born with type 1 straight hair like silk. Now I am hitting 40 soon and I am morphing into a type 2A. It is very obvious when I let my hair dry naturally. I googled and it seems hormonal changes cause hair to turn from straight to wavy.
I guess from what you say I’m thinking 1 b or 1 c.. definitely dry but also prone to frizziness but also knots. This has definitely helped a lot more than most other videos. I like that you just focus on one type. Not all 12 😮
My hair grows so fast that it almost feel like tingling at my scalp. For my whole life I thought the tingling itchiness at my scalp was due to oiliness and/or dandruff but I recently found out at the salon that my scalp just produce new hair like a freaking factory lol
Thanks! I think I am a 1A or 1B. Since young everyone thought I rebond my hair cause it is so straight. But yes, it is almost impossible to curl my hair without a perm at a salon. I can wear buns for 10hrs and my hair will be straight in 5mins. Even using curling iron, it goes flat real fast. I have to perm my hair to have curls but then it gets dry and hard to get the curls I wanted. Any tips on hair styling? And also, does it mean that perming or rebonding your hair will change a hair type?
Best explanation ever! I'm leaning towards type 1B, but could be a mixture...i find my roots get oily extremely easily, and i tend to get fuzz from middle range of my hair. I wonder if having layers help keep it voluminised, cuz when my hair is all one length it's heavy and very quick to get messy/fuzzy. Grrr. Either way I always feel I need to bring a hairbrush with me wherever I go.
This explanation is so great and it explains so much of my life when dealing with my hair! I have type 1a hair, with my last pregnancy it changed to 1b or 1c in some places, but I think it’s shifting back again. 😂 Literally no stylists understand how to deal with my hair. It’s been so frustrating to have them tell me that if I just used enough of this or that product, I could get some body and movement into my hair. And then after their demonstration it just looks like a greasy, dirty, weighed down mess. 😅 This is really a great explanation and I wish more stylists understood the variety in hair types. Loved this!
You explained this so good now I know what hair type I used to think I have 1a hair but I realized I have a mix of 1b and 1c hair thanks for the best type 1 hair explanation ever
Thank you so much. You have helped me figure out that I have 1C type. What hair products would you recommend for my hair type? I cant afford anything over 20 dollars per shampoo and that for conditioner. Thanks for your help in identifying my hair type and hopefully what shampoo and conditioner for 1C type.
This explains my whole hair life. Now I know I’m 1b when I was young and now they I’m older I’ve gone 1c. lol at least I know now what to tell the stylist😊 thank you!
Brilliant video!! Really loved it and can totally relate especially with my hair being so stubborn and difficult to style!! 😂 Would you be able to make a video recommending different styling products for the different hair types?? 😊
Thank you. This is helpful. I was looking up different hair types, confused as heck trying to figure out if I have wavy or curly or both but I don't have type 1 or type 4.
It’s as easy as it gets. After the soft turban comes off, I add a little glossing serum - depending on which sham/ cond. 2.) most prone to oiliness?!? I wash/ condition every 2 weeks sometimes! Even with hydrating shampoo, it’s never oily. I always thought the courser, the dryer. But I’m not a pro.
What is the difference between 1c and 2a types? Your explanation is the most clear I found on CZcams, but my hair look differently every time after washing.. Would be really grateful if you could help ❤
i know this is late but from what i know, 2A is a more defined “s” shape aka a wave, if you have 1c when ur hair is dry but 2A when wet, you probably have a wave pattern - a lot of factors affect this such as heat damage, chemical damage, dryness and just overall your care towards your curl pattern. it’s all trial and error but just try a Wave routine or a curly girl hair method and see what works best! If your hair holds it’s shape dry as it does wet, you have 2A (or wavier) hair!
my hairs weird its flat on the scalp straight until past ears is waveish also my fringe at ends curls forward kinda like points foward all i can say is it thin and falls out alot and frizzy so not sure if going through moisture overload cause wetting hair in shower is damaging it alot but i have filter shower head
Thank you, I didn’t have the terminology to describe my hair. It can’t hold a curl but it can hold a curve and only when acted upon by a force or object like bent around my ear
Very helpful, thanks a lot Mike. I would like you to make a video comparing the Kérastase Ultra- Violet Purple Mask vs. the Ultra-Violet Purple Shampoo. I want to buy something for the brassiness but I don't know which one is better for me. I'm a type 1C hair.
Thank you so much! This video is so easy to understand and straightforward, unlike other videos. I think I might be a 1b or (most likely) 1C type, since I can hold pretty well Curls and other treatments but my hair gets too greasy if I don’t wash my hair by the second day. You’re so cool and definitely deserve more views! 🩷
i have type 1a and they get greasy after 3-5 days of not washing them, they are pretty damaged, if i would whash them with cleansing shampoo once a week and twice with smth repairing + conditioner, would that make a good hair routine?
I want to buy a Kerastase but I don’t know what’s line is good for me, I have wavy black strong hair, it get greasy so fast and lacks a healthy shine. Can you tell me which line is best for me?
Hi .. because I trust you.. can I ask for a permanent hair straightening treatment video and give us all information you have.. please 😍.. And thanks for all your experience you share with us 💐
SHITTT!! I’m 1A (yes it does look like shining naturally) - Soft - Thin Hair - Naturally looks shiny Disadvantage Oily and gets dirty easily.. I’m struggling with Dandruff with 1A Hair type it’s a freaking Pain in the @$$.. Can’t go outside much cause it gets dirty and oily a day after going outside from the room..And it gets smelly (idk if it’s the oily scalp or the dandruff) And i have oily scalp like literally one time I researched on how much time does it take to get oily I wash off my hair on Evening 5-50pm to be exact and by the time of 10-11pm it gets oily scalp.. So Which shampoo should i use with which components? Hair masked? Conditioner?? Any suggestions about which chemical components should I avoid using shampoo? Hair routine? Like how much times I should wash per week?
I fully understand. Tonight I saw to use a shampoo with clay to help absorb the oil once a week. Then use a powder dry shampoo as needed during the week. Lastly, use a scalp exfoliant weekly. No idea how this is going to work, but I will look for these types of products.
I feel like I’m 1C but I have fine hair. A lot of it! So overall it’s very thick and poofy. But the strands themselves are fine fine fine so I’m 1b?! Does anyone else know what I’m talking about?
Huh... A non native English speaker who seems to have learned English in Ireland or from an Irish person. Fascinating. That's at least what it sounds like to me. I wonder what his mother tongue is. 🤔 See, now I'm intrigued.
i for the life of me can not figure out if you are super Irish or jamaican and obv one would make more sense but as soon as I'm sure u say something else and I'm like I DONT KNOWWWWW
cant believe this video only has about 2k views when you are explaining it 10x better than the ones with millions of views thank you
thank you ❤
Definitely! Your explanations and examples are on point!
Well it's got 28k now. So be happy
I am still confused! 1a or 1b.

Oily and gets dirty easily..
