Hair Types: different types of hair

The hair type helps in deciding on the kind of products that are needed and the methods of hair-care that should be followed.

Normal Hair Type

If you have a normal scalp, then you can use any shampoo meant for normal hair. You do need to use a light conditioner each time you shampoo.
If you have dry hair, you need to use a more intensive conditioner meant for dry hair.
If you need to shampoo your hair more than twice a week, then you should alternate between a normal hair shampoo and a dry hair shampoo.

With normal hair, you need to use a shampoo meant for dry hair and a regular conditioner.
With dry hair, you need to use a shampoo meant for coloured or treated hair with a similar conditioner.

If your scalp is oily, you need to use a shampoo meant for oily hair and a lighter conditioner.
If you have dry hair, you need to use a shampoo for oily hair, with an intensive conditioner meant for dry hair.
If you need to shampoo your hair more than twice a week, then you should alternate between a shampoo meant for oily hair and one meant for normal hair.

Always use shampoos and conditioners meant for treated hair. Remember, all treated hair is damaged to some extent. If you use a conditioner regularly, it will protect your hair and keep its natural sheen.
If you use heat-drying or styling appliances, make sure the temperature is not too high. Set the dryer on medium instead of high. It will take longer to dry your hair but you are less apt to cause unnecessary damage.
Don't use curling irons and electric curlers on a daily basis. Limit their use to two or three times per week at the most. Use smooth-surfaced or foam rollers instead of brush rollers.
Brush your hair no more than is necessary for styling, and use a natural bristle or nylon brush that has blunt, rounded tips.
