    for anyone who has type 2 hair ( a, b or c) , i highly advise you to use sea salt water spray or ocean water, if you can get it naturally. Not only will it reduce the risk of dandruff, but it also tightens your curls and enhances your waves. But if you use normal salt and water, it could be very harmful. Also, dont try to use it everyday or every time you shower. For example, you could use it once whenever you shower.
    try sleeping on a silk pillowcase instead of a cotton one. It would reduce the frizz and less breakage would occur.
    when it comes to tying your hair, use scrunchies instead of thin rubber bands.
    if youre drying your hair, try using a microfiber hair towel or a t-shirt, if you dont have such towel. the t shirt would prevent frizz and absorb excess water.
    use hair milk if you have one. it provides moisture for your hair.
    lastly, eat fruits and veggies more often. oranges and grapefruits are some fruits that decreases the risk of frizz, and drink water every 2 hours or so.
    *EDIT*: i hope you try these hacks one day and leave your opinions about it on the comments! Also, rectify me if i have made any mistake or if the suggested tips are incorrect. Have a nice day!!

      My mom has 1b and my dad has 2b. I ended up with a mix of straight hair and majority 2a and 2b types of hair on my head. The front part is pretty straight, and the back is wavy. Very hard to style all my life. Was worse when I was younger when I had 3x the amount of hair that was actually 3a curly. As I got older the hair has lost most of the curl. I’m planning to grow my hair long and braid it. That weight will pull it down and keep it tame. I’ve had short and medium hair styles that were messy chic. I’m tired of the messy look.

    Anyone in the 4 group - DO NOT COMB, BRUSH OR MANIPULATE YOUR HAIR TOO MUCH.
    "Fragile" is why it seems hard to grow because it breaks from just air blowing it too hard 😂
    Combs and brushes destroy our hair - you can hear it ripping.
    I stopped, just steam my hair daily via shower, throw on my fav hair butter, and seal with oil.
    I have a big 4B-4C fro with mid back length hair when pulled 😅 I was protective styling but could not figure out why it wasnt growing despite moisturizing.
    Our hair breaks so easy - our ancestors used mud for a reason - our hair is not designed to hang nor really be touched at all. It compiles onto its curly self to be in a *fixed* state to keep the sun and vermin out.
    We were taught to "tame" it - but it is already tamed.

    3b, but I already knew that, as a stylist!
    I prefer it flat ironed for photos, or pulled up! It tends to look like a triangle otherwise.
    Some professional tips as a curly girl:
    Never let terrycloth touch your hair. Always use an old t-shirt or microfiber to absorb wet hair.
    Use a squirt bottle on days you don’t shampoo and some leave-in conditioner.
    These are my best hair days!
    I don’t let shampoo touch my hair, I use co-wash which is a cleansing conditioner.
    Cool/cold air is THE best on curls as it helps that cuticle stay down.
    Best of luck, Curly girls! ❤

Typically, type 1A hair has little to no body and has a difficult time keeping a curl. This hair type is actually pretty rare .There are different types of naturally straight hair, from fine and thin to thick and coarse, with pros and cons for all the ways hair can be straight-and yes, we're even talking about hair that's straightened using styling tools and products

      I have this hair. It's flat. No matter what I do to it, it's flat. It's also kind of brittle. You can put it in a ponytail or braid like they said, but it WILL fall out. If you have this hair, grow it long as you can and just have straight shiny flat hair with no volume at all. It's for the best trust me. Also, bangs are NOT your friend.

      1a is more common in Northern Europe. Asia has billions of people with 1c hair. The hair there is so straight that short hair cuts have the hair stick straight out of the skull. And the hair is not baby fine. Each strand is thick. Northern Europeans have fine straight hair. Asians have thick straight hair. I’m Asian and my mom has 1c hair and my dad has wavy 2b hair. My brother and I have both 2a and 2b hair on our heads. My sister has 1b hair. The most obvious sign of Asian straight hair is that it never frizzes even in the most humid weather. It is stubbornly straight. If it frizzes or changes shape, it is not Asian but has the baby fine European hair characteristics.

    My hair is completely different when I’m not using conditioner. I remember it being so frizzy when I was a kid. It flips in or out at the ends (not in a cute beach way). The strands are thin, but I have massive amounts of it. I’m truly considering shaving the back.

    Ah, I think I must be 1C, I've had so many hairdressers over the years tell me I have "Asian" hair (my ancestors were Italian, Dutch and black Irish, which is actually Spanish). Can't hold a curl, not even when I got a perm back in the 70s! Definitely agree with the "cascade" hairstyle suggestion.

    The thing about Asian straight hair (because there are rare ones with waves and curls…I am one of them with 2a and 2b) that is different is that Asian straight hair never frizzes even in humid weather. Just never changes its shape whether, dry, wet, semi-wet. Also, each strand of hair is totally straight, including the little hairs near the hairline. A lot of Caucasians I see with straight hair have wavy baby hairs or ends that curl. Also Asian straight hair is a bit thicker stranded and has a smooth shine. In the shade it is black but seen thru the sunlight it can have a red or orange tint. This is something I notice doesn’t exist in other races with naturally black hair.

    While the classification of hair types does a decent job to figure out wash, condition, and best styling products for hair, it flops the moment you own more than a single hair type or texture. More important, hair products to support a specific result on the hair type may quickly work in another fashion and or require further processing on an alternate texture....The moment you include frizz into the equation- some hair types never experience frizz- hair becomes far more complicated than it seems.

      I’d advice you to use castor oil 100% organic. it helps with frizzy hair, damaged hair, hair loss, it helps your hair grow much faster. But don’t use it too much. Use it 2-3 times a week and massage it in your hair it’s best to sleep with it or you can wash it after one hour. But use sulfate free shampoo because the ones that do contain sulfate can cause frizzy hair or hair loss

      Why? She isn't saying straight hair is perfect, she was talking about hair that is completely straight, so perfectly straight hair means hair that is straight like a string. "Perfectly" is an adverb, not an adjective! I feel so offended by your comment honestly

    The easiest to take care of is obvious 1. My sister has 1a and she just gets up and go. She doesn’t even have to comb her hair. It NEVER knots. She gets a trim now and then and that’s it. She goes swimming in the pool, shampoos it, then let’s it air dry by itself. Zero maintenance. Beyond 1, it is all increasing maintenance from there unless you go for a buzz cut.

    So far from this, I think my hair is like across the 3 and 4 spectra depending on which section I grab. And my hair doesn't look awesome from just letting it go after I wash and add oil/leave-ins. Probably because it's obvious that it's like multiple different types.
