Thick & Resistant HairHair Types
Dense, Resistant Hair
Hair with so much density it resists being moved at all, then holds whatever shape it is finally given.
Dense, resistant hair is the opposite problem to fine hair. There is more material than most products can move, and the strands are often coarse enough to spring back to their own direction within minutes.
Working with it is a matter of sequence and patience: reduce the water, set the direction with heat and tension, then use enough product to hold that direction — applied in sections rather than all at once.
