Determine Your Hair Type

Do you actually know what type of hair you have? Usually, people are not aware of it. The problem with hair care is that there are no single solutions that will apply to all hair types. First of all, every person’s hair is different, and if you want it to look its best, you need to treat it with products and techniques that suits it best. At one time, different hair would be classified as either oily or dry hair and shampoo dealt with these two things by either moisturizing dry hair or stripping the oil out of greasy hair. But not all dry hair needed the same amount of moisturization and not all oily hair responded well to having that oil removed. There are several types of hair types. Sometimes you may feel confused about which shampoo to use for which hair type. The best way to determine your hair type is not by deciding whether it’s oily or dry but by analyzing its structure, which tells you how to make the most of your tresses. So the question is which type of hair do you have? To find out, answer the following questions until you get directed to your hair type.

Processed hair: Is your hair currently bleached, permed or more than 70 percent highlights? If yes, you have got processed hair and need to turn to the advice given.

Curly hair: Is your hair naturally curly ? If yes, then, you have got curly hair, and need to take advice.

Wavy hair: Is your hair wavy but not curly – that is, if you leave it to dry naturally, will it curl or wave either throughout or at the ends and have fullness but not definite curls ? If so, you need guidance.

Straight hair: Everyone who has got this far should have straight hair. This means when it is long it hangs flat, or if it’s short it will hug your head and not bounce at the crown or curl at the nape of the neck. If you have got straight hair, you can solve your problems by taking care.
