What is my hair type? I'm not sure I understand how to determine that.

Question

Hi all! Maybe you can help me. I'm trying to find a hair care routine that fits my hair type but I'm not sure if my hair would be considered type 1 or type 2a. Thank you! https://imgur.com/a/7Tz4RHU

Answer 1

I viewed your hair at https://imgur.com/a/7Tz4RHU, type 1 hair would be fine straight thin hair, if the wave I see is natural, you have some density in your hair so your hair type would be 2a/2b. I said 2b because of the thickness at the new growth/root (hair density: take a front section of your hair and pull it to the side. If you can visibly see sections of your scalp underneath or through the hair, then your hair is thin. If you barely see your scalp at all, your hair is thick. If it's somewhere in-between, then your hair has a medium density.) If your hair begin to make a “S” shape naturally at the new growth or down the shaft, than it becomes 2c and so on.
