Women with 1a hair tend to have fine, straight strands that are ultrafine in texture, and lightweight hair products are essential in maintaining them. Natural oils from their scalp can quickly coat each strand, so light options should always be utilized.
Lack of Volume and Body:
1a hair lacks volume and body, remaining straight and thin with wispy ends. Styling this hair type can be challenging as the natural oils from the scalp quickly coat the strands with oil. To combat this, a shampoo that reduces excess oil production and lightweight hair gels and holding sprays for added volume are essential. Avoid using silicone-based products to prevent buildup over time.
Tips for Adding Volume:
Switch up your part occasionally to strengthen the roots and add dimension. Layers are also great for adding texture to straight locks.
