Does your hair feel fine yet have a subtle S-shaped wave? Welcome to the world of Type 2A hair. If you've been curious about identifying your hair type, learning how to care for it, or discovering the best products tailored to your needs, you're in the right place. Join us as we explore the world of Type 2A hair with expert tips and product recommendations from Moo & Yoo.

Not sure if you have Type 2A hair? Here’s how you can tell:

• Fine or Thin Strands: Type 2A hair is usually fine in texture, with strands that may feel delicate and lightweight.
• Natural Waves: Your hair naturally forms a soft, subtle wave, typically an ‘S’ shape. These waves tend to be looser.
• Easily Styled: Your hair is versatile – it can be easily straightened for a sleek look or curled for added volume, holding styles without much difficulty.
• Prone to Lack of Volume: While your hair may have a natural wave, it can sometimes appear flat, lacking the volume and body of other hair types.
• Can be Oily: Your scalp may lean towards being oily, making lightweight balancing products essential to avoid a greasy look.

If these characteristics sound familiar, then your hair type is likely 2A! If you’re still unsure, take our Hair Quiz to help determine which hair type you have. This quiz considers various factors like texture, volume, and scalp behaviour to give you a clearer understanding of your hair type along with recommendations of the best products for you.

Type 2A hair, with its delicate waves and fine texture, requires a thoughtful approach to hair care. With the right routine, you can welcome your natural waves and give your hair the love it deserves.

1. Shampooing

The foundation of caring for all hair types begins with proper cleansing. It is recommended that you wash your hair every 2-3 days; however, if your type 2A hair is prone to oiliness, you may find yourself washing it more frequently. This is perfectly fine, but be sure to use a gentle shampoo that won’t strip your hair of its natural oils.

2. Conditioning

Focus your conditioner on the ends of your hair, where moisture is needed most, and avoid the roots to prevent oily hair. Use a conditioner that has a lightweight consistency and won’t weight your hair down, ensuring that your waves remain light, bouncy and full of life.

3. Add Texture and Volume

On days when your hair needs a little extra oomph, volumising and wave-defining products are your go-to solution. These products are perfect for revitalising your hair, adding lift and texture without the heaviness.

 

4. Styling Tips:

One of the greatest perks of type 2A hair is its versatility. Whether you’re looking to enhance your natural waves, go sleek and straight, or add some curls, your hair can adapt beautifully. When using heat tools, make sure to always apply a heat protectant to shield your hair from damage.
