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 your hair is naturally lustrous and easy to manage, it falls in the
tegory of normal hair. The oil glands are producing the amount of oil
that your need for the health of the hair. The distribution and flow of
oil along the hair shaft is normal, keeping the hair free of problems.
This, however, does not mean that your hair does not require regular
are. There are several factors that can upset the normal balance of the
scalp, like exposure to the sun, air pollutants, permanent wave lotions,
sprays, dyes, chemical colourants or illness. Therefore, normal hair
must also be given regular care.
Dry Hair
If your hair is difficult to manage and has the 'flyaway' look, you
probably have dry hair. The oil glands are not secreting enough natural oil, or the hair has suffered damage from chemical treatments and
exposure to the elements. Dry hair looks dull and acquires split ends easily.
Oily Hair
If you have an oily skin, the chances that your hair is oily too. The sebaceous glands are over-active and are producing excessive oil. Your hair looks good when you shampoo, but becomes limp soon.
Mixed Condition Hair Type
This kind of hair usually has poor distribution of oil along the hair
shaft. The scalp may be oily, but the hair is dry. There may be dandruff,
with the scales clogging the pores of the scalp.
