To choose the correct products, you must know your hair type. Consider the porosity, sebum quantity, and scalp porosity. Hair structure refers to diameter: fine, normal, or thick. To determine your structure, use a sheet of paper, a cotton thread, and a hair strand. High porosity indicates fragile hair. Scalp health is fundamental. Always start with a neutral shampoo to understand your hair type. Evaluate structure, texture, porosity, and scalp health. We recommend natural shampoo and organic products.
Description of Straight Hair
Straight hair grows straight from the follicle, with a round and uniform section and minimal volume. They are perfect for creating any shape. Modifying a straight cut with HAIRMED treatments is simple. Short straight hair has easy solutions. Long straight hair emphasizes a silk effect – use volumizing products. Identify the correct shampoo for straight hair. HAIRMED B6 SHAMPOO supports fine hair volume. Collagen B12 shampoo is for thick hair. Straight hair can become frizzy. Consider RECONSTRUCTION FOR FRAGILE HAIR.
Discovering Curly Hair
If dry hair forms inner circles (purple and white), it’s curly. It requires moisturizing. Very curly hair demands special products.
Recognizing Thick Hair
Thick hair covers the entire scalp, is dry and feels heavy. For thicker hair: shampoo well, massage the scalp, use volumizing products, choose the right cut, and use freshwater.
Defining Wavy Hair
Use a hairdryer and diffuser: evenly distributes air, defines hair, and provides the right volume. Use specific shampoo and conditioner, pat dry with a towel, comb with a wide-tooth comb, apply Curl Disciplining Cream, and dry with a hairdryer. For less volume, dry upside down. For a very voluminous look, dry with your head down.
Hair Types Classification
There are four hair types: straight, wavy, curly, frizzy. Genetics determine type and texture. Care varies according to type, density, dependent on color too.
Best Match for Straight Hair
The oval face, with perfect proportions, suits straight hair. Be cautious with round and diamond-shaped faces. Charlize Theron showcases how straight hair enhances an oval face. Some face shapes should avoid straight hair, like heart or rectangular.
Common Hair Colors
Blonde hair has the highest density, brown and black hair have less dense, and red is the least dense. Knowing your type is crucial for proper care.
