flat hair

Lifeless, drooping strands

Flat hair is hair that lies close to the scalp, lacking volume or lift.

The term usually describes an undesirable state—hair weighed down by oil, humidity, or heavy products: My hair always goes flat by the end of the day.

Flat hair is the opposite of voluminous or bouncy hair, and much of hair styling aims to prevent or correct it.
