Products for Your Hair Type
There are four different types of hair condition:
- Normal
- Oily
- Dry
- Damaged (over-processed)
When choosing products for your hair, make sure you consider your specific hair type. Ask your specialist what products are best for your individual needs. Products containing essential oils are always good for the scalp because essential oils are extracted from flowers and plants, which are healing agents. Unless your stylist recommends it, you should not wash your hair too often, because it can cause dryness and breakage
Shampoos
There are several types of shampoos:
- Clarifying shampoos get rid of build up and environmental pollutants from the hair.
- Moisturizing shampoos contain humectants that attract moisture.
- Conditioning shampoos are for dry, brittle, and over processed hair.
- Medicated shampoos are used to treat scalp diseases.
Conditioners
Conditioners are a necessary agent for your best hair experience. They’re needed to add back the vitamins and natural elements that have been stripped out of the hair. Conditioner should be applied every time you shampoo your hair. However, if the hair is too damaged, even the best conditioners can only do so much for the hair, and it may need to be cut. Following are types of conditioner:
- Leave-in conditioners are helpful agents as well. They are used to apply moisture to the hair after regular conditioning and before using any styling products.
- Deep conditioners are especially useful to restore the hair to a healthy condition if it has been color treated or over processed.
- Deep penetrating or restructuring conditioner is used for dry or over-processed hair once a month or every two weeks, depending on the condition of the hair.
- Herbal treatments can be used to aid in scalp restoration and feed hair follicles to restore the strength of the hair.
- Essential oils are good for the scalp and hair, because they are extracted from specific flowers and plants that act as healing agents.
- Finishing products are used to finish or style the hair. These products can give the hair shine, sculpture, or help to complete a hair design. They include molding and sculpting pomades, gel, wax, and glosses. These products can be used during and after the hair has been styled.
