I'd love to see photos of your straight hair! If there's already a thread like this please let me know, but I couldn't see one with photos of our naturally straight hair :)


I see so many photos of wavy or curly hair and it is absolutely gorgeous! I wish I had wavy hair, alas we always want what we can't have. My actual hair is 1a.


Can we share some photos of straight hair? I'd love to swoon over your straight locks. Long, short, it's all good!


Here is my hair at my current starting length before my final trim before I grow it out. I believe it's 1a, but there is some slight movement at the ends at the moment where it dries on my shoulders.


Freshly washed and air dried as I begin my no-heat adventure :D

This is a great idea for a thread! Does 1b hair count as straight, or just 1a?? Mine is pretty straight except for the very ends, which can flip around a bit. I've always wished I had waves, too! Sigh!

Here's my hair:

Wow and wow your hair is gorgeous!!!
Very good idea for a thread!!

I had always wish i had waves or curles or even body shape like 1c, but i am mostly 1a myself. LHC have learned me to accept and to love my own hair.

Absolutely 1b hair is welcome! I think my hair is 1a from its current state and looking at old photos, but really it could be closer to 1b and I won't know for sure until it grows a bit.

Your hair is absolutely beautiful!

I think it's our curse to always want what we don't have. I'm learning to love my straight hair. I have lots of wavy haired friends who meticulously straighten it to get it how mine dries naturally. I try to remember that when I'm sulking over beautiful wavy hair on Instagram and Pinterest :P

I'm too wavy for this but years ago my hair was stick straight. It changed its texture over years which is a pity.

Might add pics later. I'm a 1b/1c but I've been in the wind a lot so it's a little straighter than usual.

Stunning hair Saige. It looks so healthy and much thicker than a II surely? I thought my goal was waist length but your pic makes me see I want hip length. Gorgeous.

Great thread! My hair has always been straight, but because I am growing out my pixie, I've got lots of layers and flips right now, so it's not so straight at the moment. My longest layers are just past CBL, and my shortest layers are mid-ear...so I'll wait to post!

Lovely hair everyone!!

Still such a pretty colour though!

I'm so henna obsessed at the moment that I'm just yearning for hair exactly your colour! Alas, I am stuck with this dark brown haha

Thanks copperlites! I swear I'm a ii! Last time I checked my ponytail circumference I measured 8cm. My hair is very good at compacting, though, so that may make a difference? I know what you mean about changing length goals! My goal was classic but now that I'm so close I'm contemplating growing to mid-thigh. I'll have to think about it!

Oh cool! Yes, as Hypersensitive says, digging back through the archives...here's one from when I was still growing out the bleach.

And a grainy one from 2014, post-bleach-grow-out:

And pretty darned straight, complete with a sticky-out ear (bane of my life since I'm not into the Elf thing):
