Straight or Smooth Hair

Unlike wavy or curly hair, straight hair is characterized by being smooth, shiny, easy to style and having little volume. One of its biggest advantages is that it doesn't need the heat of straighteners to style it and doesn't usually frizz easily. However, it tends to get oily much faster than other hair types.

To treat straight hair, you only need to buy suitable products that provide softness, shine, and hydration, and that help prevent split ends. You can also apply a moisturizing mask once a week or oil only to the ends.

Curly Hair

If there is hair that is characterized by being voluminous and abundant, it is curly hair. Hairstylist André Walker has classified curly hair as one of the most attractive and versatile hair types, provided it is properly cared for. If you have very defined "S"-shaped curls, you should try to nourish and moisturize them constantly to keep them strong and shiny. Look for shampoos and conditioners for your hair type that contain vitamin C and natural oils. You can also use a cream that helps define your curls and... Give them elasticity after washing.

Wavy Hair

Wavy hair is characterized by having a smooth root and loose curls and little volume. Sometimes the top area can become frizzy, so it is recommended to use shampoos that, in addition to moisturizing the hair fiber, eliminate frizzand leave your hair soft and silky.

On the other hand, opt for products that help you shape your waves and use a serum or oil on the ends of your hair to keep them hydrated. If your hair is unruly, you can apply a styling cream or mousse.

Normal Hair

This is one of the most desired hair types, as it doesn't require as much care. It's natural hair that doesn't need intensive treatments because it's strong, elastic, and shiny. style="font-weight: 400;">and has movement.

If you have normal hair, the best way to care for it is to use a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner that keep it healthy. Also, try to avoid washing it too frequently.

Dry Hair

Lack of sebum Dryness on the scalp is the main characteristic of dry hair. It's a difficult hair type to maintain because it requires a lot of hydration and tends to frizz easily when there's a lot of humidity in the air. The best way to treat it is by using moisturizing products made with avocado and almond oil, applying a nourishing mask once a week, and occasionally massaging the scalp to increase sebum production. We recommend that you avoid: the constant use of hair dyes or Chemical products that can break down the hair cuticle, combing it when wet, and excessive use of hair dryers or straighteners.

Oily Hair

Unlike dry hair, oily hair is characterized by having sebaceous glands that produce excess sebum. This causes it to get dirty more quickly than other hair types and requires more frequent washing.
