How to disable first body font styles to the first row in the body of a Handsontable hot-table?

Question

I am working on displaying a Handsontable on my Angular frontend. When I give the data. When the table is displayed, the first row of the body has a font style that makes it look like a header (bold, larger, color).

Here is a copy of my implementation:

// app.component.ts
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import * as Handsontable from 'handsontable';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  template: `
  <div>
    <hot-table
      [data]="dataset"
      [colHeaders]="true"
      [rowHeaders]="true"
      height="auto"
      licenseKey="non-commercial-and-evaluation">
        <hot-column data="id" [readOnly]="true" title="ID"></hot-column>
        <hot-column data="name" title="Full name"></hot-column>
        <hot-column data="address" title="Street name"></hot-column>
    </hot-table>
  </div>
  `,
})
class AppComponent {
  dataset: any[] = [
    {id: 1, name: 'Ted Right', address: 'Wall Street'},
    {id: 2, name: 'Frank Honest', address: 'Pennsylvania Avenue'},
    {id: 3, name: 'Joan Well', address: 'Broadway'},
    {id: 4, name: 'Gail Polite', address: 'Bourbon Street'},
    {id: 5, name: 'Michael Fair', address: 'Lombard Street'},
    {id: 6, name: 'Mia Fair', address: 'Rodeo Drive'},
    {id: 7, name: 'Cora Fair', address: 'Sunset Boulevard'},
    {id: 8, name: 'Jack Right', address: 'Michigan Avenue'},
  ];
}

// app.module.ts
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { HotTableModule } from '@handsontable/angular';

@NgModule({
  imports:      [ BrowserModule, HotTableModule ],
  declarations: [ AppComponent ],
  bootstrap:    [ AppComponent ]
})
class AppModule { }

// bootstrap
import { platformBrowserDynamic } from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic';

platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule).catch(err => { console.error(err) });

I've tried to target the specific element in css using:

tbody tr:first-child {
font-size: xx-small;
}

and that doesn't seem to work.

Is there an option or other method I can use to remove styling to this row?

A picture of the display is below:

All of the styles within the CSS have to be connected to either TH or TD. You may find this example helpful http://jsfiddle.net/znkmwfpt/1/ where the JS part only uses the header hook (afterGetColHeader) to attach a className.

afterGetColHeader: function(col, TH) {
      var TR = TH.parentNode;
      var THEAD = TR.parentNode;
      var headerLevel = (-1) * THEAD.childNodes.length + Array.prototype.indexOf.call(THEAD.childNodes, TR);

      function applyClass(elem, className) {
        if (!Handsontable.dom.hasClass(elem, className)) {
          Handsontable.dom.addClass(elem, className);
        }
      }

CSS part

* {
  font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, FreeSans, sans-serif;
  font-size: 12px;
}

.handsontable THEAD TH.color1 {
  background: #FF6138;
  border-color: #D4441F;
}

.handsontable THEAD TH.color1 .collapsibleIndicator {
  box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px 6px #FF6138;
  -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px 6px #FF6138;
  background: #FF6138;
  border-color: #D4441F;
}

.handsontable THEAD TH.color2 {
  background: #79BD8F;
  border-color: #549A6B;
}

.handsontable THEAD TH.color2 .collapsibleIndicator {
  box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px 6px #79BD8F;
  -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px 6px #79BD8F;
  background: #79BD8F;
  border-color: #549A6B;
}

.handsontable THEAD TH.color3 {
  background: #BEEB9F;
  border-color: #8FC768;
}

.handsontable THEAD TH.color3 .collapsibleIndicator {
  box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px 6px #BEEB9F;
  -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px 6px #BEEB9F;
  background: #BEEB9F;
  border-color: #8FC768;
}

.handsontable THEAD TH.color4 {
  background: #FFFF9D;
  border-color: #DEDE9A;
}

.handsontable THEAD TH.color4 .collapsibleIndicator {
  box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px 6px #FFFF9D;
  -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px 6px #FFFF9D;
  background: #FFFF9D;
  border-color: #DEDE9A;
}

.handsontable THEAD TH.color5 {
  background: #00A388;
  border-color: #38887B;
}

.handsontable THEAD TH.color5 .collapsibleIndicator {
  box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px 6px #00A388;
  -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px 6px #00A388;
  background: #00A388;
  border-color: #38887B;
}

Also, some of the properties are using !important so you may need to add it as well.
