What size rod is used on thin hair?

  1. 1.5 inches or larger

  2. 1 inch

  3. 1 inch or smaller

  4. 2 inches

The correct answer is: 1 inch or smaller

Thin hair requires a smaller size rod in order to achieve the desired style. Using a larger rod, such as 1.5 inches, can result in the hair not being able to wrap around the rod completely, leading to inconsistent curls or waves. A 1 inch rod is still too large for thin hair and may result in loose or limp curls. Similarly, a 2 inch rod is also too large and may not provide enough definition for thin hair. Therefore, the ideal size for thin hair is 1 inch or smaller in order to create defined and long-lasting curls or waves.
