Getting to know your hair
Very few people understand their hair: They are puzzles as to why one day their hair looks and feels good, making them feel happy. Yet the next day they are upset because, inexplicably it seems, their hair is quite the reverse.
We all know the phrase “Good hair day” and “Bad hair day”. Sometimes it feels we get more bad than good hair days. Why? You may ask.
One of the reasons is product labels and descriptions. Everyone knows when we have dry hair, so we shop around for a shampoo and conditioner for “ Dry hair” But its more complicated than that. Dry hair can mean many things: It can mean fine, straight, limp – and dry. Or it can mean coarse and curly – and dry. Or it can be frizzy – and dry. It can even mean oily at the roots and dry at the ends. All of the types could also be coloured, bleached, permed, short or long. All different but all dry. Trying to work out what would be the best products becomes confusing, tending to rely on trial and error, and becoming more frustrated by your hair not responding to the way you hoped for.
The best way is to carefully analyze your hair or get your hairdresser to give you a professional assessment, then red the labels of the products and find one that really matches your hair type.
Always keep your hair regularly shampooed to remove pollution particles resting on the scalp and to avoid product build-up.
