Understanding Your Hair Type, Part 1 Straight and Wavy

August 10 2018

Do you know your hair type? Not many people do, of course, you probably know the basics like whether your hair is straight or curly. But did you know that there are twelve distinct types of hair? Everyone’s hair type falls into one of those twelve categories. There are four main types, and each type has three subcategories. Knowing your hair type is useful for finding the best cuts, performing treatments and deciding on styles that are best suited for your for your hair type. The Four types are Straight (type 1), Wavy (type 2), Curly (type 3) and Coily (type 4). The three subcategories are Wide (type A), Medium (type B) and Small/Compact (type C). Everyone’s hair type has a number and a letter. We know hair talk can sound confusing, Hairstylists literally use their own language sometime. Our Blog and related content is to help you understand your own hair and here to help you and your hairdresser speak the same language. Type 1 Hair is Straight Hair. As a whole, straight hair tends to be shiny. That is because the straight follicles make it easier for natural oils to travel up and down your strands. Hair type 1A is super-straight. It doesn’t even hold a curl! 1A is the rarest hair type. It is usually found on people of Asian descent. 1B hair, on the other hand, is the most common hair type. It is straight and flat but has some volume. 1C hair is the next type. 1C hair is straight but thick and coarse. It has a natural tousled look and tends to frizz. Type 2 is wavy hair. Wavy hair follicles tend to have an “S” shape. Wavy strands are bendable, lay flatter than curly or coily hair, and can be fine, coarse or in between. 2A is the “barely there” wave. If this is your hair type, it is recommended to avoid heavy styling products. This hair type is easily straightened and thick product can weigh it down. 2B waves are much thicker. The hair tends to be flat at the crown and results in S-shaped waves close to the head. Finally, 2C hair is the waviest of them all. These waves are thick, coarse and well-defined. The wave begins at the roots, resulting in a lot of volume. Since this type of hair is susceptible to frizzing, you should moisturize it regularly with a leave-in conditioner and try to avoid heat styling.

At what age do girls start looking beautiful?

It's based on US survey of 2,000 people has found. The study, carried out by Allure magazine, found women are considered most beautiful at 30, show signs of ageing at 41, stop looking 'sexy' at 53 and are thought of as 'old' at 55. Same for men, they look best in 30s, start showing age at 41.

I was looking at the wedding pics of J LO and besides gushing over how beautiful she looked . It made me wonder whether there is any standard age for peak beauty. Although I am not talking about J Lo or for that matter people like Rekha closer home- I mean for lesser mortals like us . No Botox no surgery types .

The health reporter in me decides to dig deeper.

Well

Lots of studies with good enough sample size tell you, there surely is an age when both men and women look their best.

Studies say both genders look most attractive in their thirties.

A study done almost a decade earlier explains it the best possible way. It’s based on US survey of 2,000 people has found. The study, carried out by Allure magazine, found women are considered most beautiful at 30, show signs of ageing at 41, stop looking ‘sexy’ at 53 and are thought of as ‘old’ at 55. Same for men, they look best in 30s, start showing age at 41. However they can still look ‘sexy’ till 58 and are considered old by 59-60. So here is the reason why SRK still tops the sexy chart. Ranbir not yet 41 still looks young and Deepika looks stunning. Surely better than the newbies on the screen- the Saras, Ananyas and Jahnvis . Having said that if you are an eternal optimist than age is just a number.
