a. Yes

The combination of beeswax and clays (Kaolin and Bentonite) in the hair clay would help provide hold and texture to type 1a hair. While type 1a hair is typically straight and fine, the lightweight ingredients can still add some texture and control without weighing the hair down. The moisturizing properties of shea butter and the conditioning benefits of arrowroot extract can also help maintain hair health. Overall, this formulation could enhance texture for straight hair types.
