Why Your Secondary Type is the Secret to a Type 1 Hairstyle You’ll Love

Type 1 + Secondary — Hairstyles that'll bring you joy!

Unlock the secret to a hairstyle you’ll love. (If you don’t love your current hairstyle, even if it’s Type 1, this is why.)

Is something about your Type 1 hairstyle feeling off? Or maybe it feels a little too Type 1 cookie cutter! Your hairstyle could be wrong for your Type 1 + Secondary (aka yin/yang) combination.

If you’re new to the concept of defining your secondary style in terms of “yin/yang” and are asking yourself, “What on earth is she talking about?” Take a moment and review this short article first – Your Type’s Yin Yang Definition & Why it Matters. Once you understand which aspects of your hairstyle are “yin” and which ones are “yang,” you’ll be able to have a good hair day every day! 

Now that you understand the yin/yang Energy Profiling, go to your Yin Yang Cheat Sheet to review how the quality of movement relates to style. Now, pick a few Hairstyle Keywords from the Yin Yang Hair Cheat Sheet to guide your hairstyle choices; two from your primary, and one from your secondary.

Let’s watch the video for your Type 1 + secondary combo to see how your expert personalizes a hairstyle that supports your yin/yang combo. It’s time to find new freedom in your hairstyle!

When you have the right hairstyle for your Type 1 Yin-Yang combo, you can quickly create a fun and playful style in under 15 minutes. If it’s taking longer than that it’s time for something new.
