Hair Types: Some Rules of Thumb

Dry Brittle Hair : Wash and condition; use extra conditioner and keep away from heat and direct sunlight. You can even use a conditioning treatment that will seal in the moisture, protect the cuticle and also add some shine, so that your hair is stronger and better hydrated.

Thin Lifeless Hair : Sometimes, this kind of hair does not respond to any of the products that offer ‘fullness’, ‘volume’ etc., so what you can do is add interest and texture to flat hair by getting a more layered hair style, and also layering the color to give an appearance of fullness.

Thick, Unmanageable Hair : The most important thing to do is to get a suitable hair style that gets rid of some of the bulk of hair to make it more manageable and so the hair looks lighter. Also pay heed to the products you use, don’t use the volumizing shampoo or conditioner, and go with the regular kind instead.

Oily Hair : Whatever the hair style chosen, oily hair needs to be washed more often than other kinds of hair; every other day, or even everyday. Use a clarifying shampoo and don’t use a conditioner unless required.
