Hair Care - Know Your Hair Type

Each person’s hair is different and naturally requires a different solution. The one-product-suits-all approach does not work. Read on to find out what hair care routine you should follow for your hair:

Oily hair is greasy. A simple rinse of weak tea, lemon juice, alcohol, or vinegar can treat this problem. Also, after styling your hair, leave it alone to prevent the oil from travelling down the hair strands.

Dry hair thirsts for conditioner. Steer clear of drying agents like harsh shampoos, blow-dryers, curling irons, as well as treatments such as coloring and perming. Protect your hair from excessive exposure to sun and wind.

Combination hair can be shampooed every two to three days to combat the excess oil on the scalp. Apply conditioner particularly to the ends of your hair.

Fine hair tends to fall limp on your face and make you appear older. The best thing to do is to go in for a smart cut that will give the appearance of fuller hair. Layers, an angular style, will add volume as well as a bob cut, which adds bounce to your hair. Accompany this with a mousse or gel and turn your head upside down while you blow-dry to add volume.

Thick hair is desired by every woman. Yet, maintaining the thickness and luster

Frizzy hair is also dry so you need to be very careful to not dry it even further. After you wash your hair, pat it dry to retain some moisture instead of rubbing it vigorously. Leave in conditioners are also a useful alternative for seriously frizzy hair. Ensure that you get a trim occasionally to keep split ends away.

Damaged hair may seem temporarily beyond repair. But all you need to do is wait until the healthy hair grows in and in the meanwhile find a cut that works for you, while conditioning your hair frequently.
