Do You Know What Type of Hair You Have?

Different hair types require specific hair care. Do you know what your hair type is? Find out what hair type you have and how you can take care of it with this little guide.

The first step to taking good care of your hair is deciphering what type of hair you have. Using random products without really knowing what your hair needs are a fruitless effort. If you’re still not sure about your hair type and get lackluster results from your hair care routine, there is a chance that you’re not giving your hair some attention. You might be drying it out, over-moisturizing it, weighing it down, and more.

Different hair types have different moisture levels, texture, and volume. There are no products that are one size fits all. To find out what products you should be using and what your hair care routine should be like, you need to determine the amount of moisture your hair has, the volume, the texture, and your curl pattern.

1A

1A hair is pretty straightforward. See what I did there? It means that your hair has very minimal waviness to it and is pretty much stick straight. Your hair strands are more prone to over-moisture or oiliness. Something to watch out for is limpness and lifelessness. Make sure to put some volume around your roots and get a good cleansing shampoo to use regularly and a deep cleansing shampoo to use once in a while to get rid of the buildup that will weigh your hair down.
