1CStraight

Thick, coarse straight strands with slight bend

Coarse straight hair with strong individual strands that requires smoothing heat protectants and sharp shear cuts.

Defined S-waves starting closer to roots with slight frizz

Coils that bend at sharp angles like a Z; highly versatile for sculptured updos, braids, and afros.

Micro-tight zigzag coils with highest shrinkage (~85%)

The most delicate and intricate hair texture; shrinks dramatically when dry and can be molded into stunning artistic shapes.
