We extend our earlier results for the quark helicity evolution at small x to derive the small-x asymptotics of the flavor singlet and flavor nonsinglet quark helicity TMDs and PDFs and of the g1 structure function. In the flavor singlet case we rederive the evolution equations obtained in our previous paper on the subject, performing additional cross-checks of our results. In the flavor nonsinglet case we construct new small-x evolution equations by employing the large-Nc limit. Here, all evolution equations resum double-logarithmic powers of αsln2(1/x) in the polarization-dependent evolution along with the single-logarithmic powers of αsln(1/x) in the unpolarized evolution which includes saturation effects.
