How to Identify your Type 1C Hair
- Straight Texture: While still straight, type 1C hair has more body and volume than finer straight types (1A and 1B).
- Thick or Coarse strands: You’ll notice the individual hair strands are thicker, giving your hair that enviable fullness.
- Frizz and Flyaways: Even though it’s straight, 1C hair tends to get frizzy, particularly in humid environments.
- Styling Resistance: Type 1C hair is often resistant to curling or holding other styles, thanks to its natural weight and texture.
Caring for your Type 1C Hair
- Hydrate and Strengthen
1C hair, especially when thick and coarse, can sometimes feel dry or brittle at the ends, meaning moisturizing your hair is crucial to protect it from damage. Try products designed to lock in moisture while providing nourishment and strength to avoid split ends and breakage.
- Tame the Frizz
Frizz is a common concern for type 1C hair, so frizz control should be at the top of your haircare priorities. Choose lightweight, non-greasy products that provide hydration whilst smoothing down unruly flyaways.
- Focus on a Balanced Scalp
Type 1C hair leans towards dryness, but it is also possible to have an oily scalp. Finding the right balance between scalp care and hair hydration can help keep your strands healthy and manageable. Be sure to avoid overly heavy products that can weigh down your hair or make it greasy.
