Know your hair type
There are usually many factors that determine if a particular hairstyle would suit you or not, hair type being one of the key factors. Let us share what are the different hair types are and what they’re characterized by.
Straight Hair
Straight hair is the easiest to identify. If you notice that your hair does not appear to have any curl of waves, this probably means that you have straight hair. The lack of curl pattern in straight hair means that this type of hair tends to appear less voluminous. Because the natural oils produced by the scalp easily coats onto straight hair, straight hair usually appears flatter and more limp.
Straight hair is usually prone to oiliness. Thus, it is advised to frequently wash straight hair as an excessive amount of sebum can lead to dandruff prone hair that looks even flatter.
Wavy hair
Wavy hair is seen to have a more define wave in an “S” shape, and is considered a medium between curly and straight hair. Because of the "S" shape, it gives more volume and has a tousled texture. Therefore, appearing more voluminous and loose.
As a result of its shape and texture, wavy hair tends to be less oily than straight hair, but is susceptible to environmental conditions. Thus, anti-humidity products are recommended for wavy hair.
Curly Hair - Curly hair are “S” shape with loose or springy curl that ends in a loop, and appear to be thick and voluminous. This type of hair have curls with circumference wider than candles, which forms perfect ringlets.
Because curly hair tend to lack natural oils. A sulfate-free conditioner and shampoo is recommended for curly hair to lock in moisture and keep it hydrated.
