Choosing the right products and using the proper care methods for your hair texture is a must! Read on for tips on how to achieve your best hair yet.
No one person has the same type of hair, each has different needs and requires different care. Hair texture can fall into different categories and each category or type has different needs. Show your hair some love this year by giving it what it needs!
If your hair is straight and has trouble holding styles, you likely fall under type 1. This hair type requires products that add volume and texture without weighing down your fine strands. Dry shampoo is a great way to encourage your hair to hold styles longer while keeping oil at bay. Dry shampoo is designed to neutralize oils and sweat while adding grit and texture without weighing down your fine strands. Spray it in a sweeping motion throughout sections of your hair, then tousle the white residue into your roots. When styling, you’ll notice that your hair holds onto volume much more easily and your hairdo will last much longer!
If your curl pattern forms an “S” shape, you probably have wavy hair. This hair type isn’t particularly oily or dry, and it can be prone to frizz. After washing your hair, avoid vigorous towel-drying and opt for a cotton T-shirt or microfiber towel wrap instead! Additionally, avoid brushing your hair when it’s dry. Then use a wide-toothed comb to detangle, and scrunch your waves while your hair is still damp.
This hair type is curly and usually a combination of loose, springy spirals and tight corkscrews. Definition is key for these kinds of curls, so you’ll want to use products that clarify the hair and scalp while retaining your hair’s natural oils. Use products like the detox shampoo to clarify the hair and scalp while retaining your hair’s natural oils. After, apply a leave-in conditioner or curl cream to ensure your locks are well-defined and conditioned!
This hair type is tightly coiled and often takes on a “Z” pattern. Coily hair doesn’t have many protective, cuticle layers, making it quite fragile and prone to dryness. Thicker, more robust products are key for defining coils and reducing dryness. Whether you’re creating a wash-and-go or prepping for a protective style, the AG Hair Re: Coil Curl Activator is a great styling cream that helps with stretching, defining, and strengthening.
