The answer is fine hair. It has the least structural mass of any texture, so it takes on more damage from a color or perm service than coarse or medium hair.
Because fine hair processes faster, it's easy to over-process by accident, which compounds the damage. Coarse hair sits at the other end of the spectrum — it's more resistant to chemical processing and typically needs more time and product to get the same result.
