Straight and Silky Thread

OMG I am so THANKFUL that someone here bumped this thread up!

Its about time that us straighties got our recognition as well! I was seriously beginning to think(and no offense to all the curlies out here) that LHC was slanted in favor of curlier and wavier haired people. I'm really glad the people with all hair types are equally loved here!

Quick question: my hair naturally air-dried and brushed out looks like this:

And when I blow out and then run my hair over with my flat iron I look like this:

So am I truly a 1a?

Must be. It looks very straight and silky to me!

Ok thank you Idun

! Its just that my hair gets thicker, bigger, and plumps up with more volume when I let it naturally air-dry. So I wasn't quite sure if this meant I'm leaning more toward 1b or 1c than a 1a. But your right my hair really is more toward 1a.

But since I'm a hairstylist, I can change my texture to up to a 3c if I wanted to!

Another straight and silky here. My avatar pic is when I did some braid waves. Lately since I colored my hair 2 months ago, my hair isn't as silky as before.

I just cut 2 inches off the ends to thicken up the hemline. I enjoy having straight hair. I just wish that I could thicken it up a bit.

1a here too! I feel blessed to have stick straight hair, even if it is slippery.

I am very jealous of all you straight haired people. To me the straight hair shows the shine so much more. The first time I had long hair to my knees it was straight and twice as thick as it is now.

Yeah, that's what I've always thought so too rags. I mean I really hoped I was a perfect 1a, but as my hair doesn't air dry perfectly flat and instead plumps up with more volume I've always kinda knew I had at least a hint of wave to my hair. But that's actually a great thing! Being a 1b means that I can enjoy both the wonders of shiny sleek straight hair quite easily with just a brush and a few kisses with my flat iron and I can also go the opposite direction and go quite curly and have the curly style hold.

Just reviving this thread back up from the LHC abyss!

Oh, hi everyone! I'm in!

Count me in too!
Not sure if I'm a 1a or 1b because I have alot of hair and it has movement to it when its airdried and a longer length, but no visible waves at all?

Also does anyone else get tangles in the underneath when its down?
I seem to get knots as soon as I get past shoulder in the nape of my neck from the top layers rubbing when they move... only straightening or thinning it out with scissors seems to help it

Any suggestions are welcome!
