The Right Products For Your Hair Type

Have you ever heard tons of hype surrounding a certain hair product and found yourself rushing to the store to buy some...only to use it and find out it does not even work for your hair? Everyone is born with unique hair, so it is impossible for one product to work perfectly for every person who tries it. The key to having great hair, is knowing which products work best for the type of hair you have.

To make it easy, I have described everything in which the different types of hair need in order to look and feel their best. I have also given specific products, which have proven to work for people with similar hair. All of the products can be purchased at your local Beauty Brands or on BeautyBrands.com and all of the shampoos and conditioners mentioned are part of their annual liter sale, happening now!

Curly Hair: 

Curly hair tends to be more susceptible to damage from certain harsh chemicals in normal shampoos and conditioners, resulting in over-drying and frizziness. Buying sulfate-free products is the best way to protect your curly hair from this type of damage as they are more gentle and therefore, suitable for fragile curls.

Frequent conditioning is another key element for curly hair because the natural oils from the scalp have a harder time reaching the ends of curly hair than they do with straight hair. This leaves the ends of curly hair looking especially dry and unhealthy. Using a deep moisturizing conditioner as well as a leave-in conditioner will prevent this and give you beautifully hydrated and healthy curls from root to tip.

HEMPZ VANILLA PLUM HERBAL MOISTURIZING & STRENGTHENING SHAMPOO/CONDITIONER

This all-natural, chemical-free duo has everything curly hair needs in order to stay healthy and beautiful.

TIGI CATWALK CURLS ROCK AMPLIFIER

When applied to dry and frizzy strands of hair, this serum will hydrate and define the natural shape of your curls, while also protecting them from future damage.

Straight Hair:

The biggest concern for people who have straight hair is, their hair seems to fall flat and/or has trouble holding any style to it. The best way to combat these issues is by purchasing products that will add texture and volume to the hair. Volumizing shampoos and conditioners will help give a natural boost to the roots so the hair will not lay flat around the face. Texturizing sprays and powders will add enough texture to straight hair to ensure your desired style will last much longer.

Wavy Hair:

The ultimate goal for those with wavy hair, is to have sleek, well-defined waves--rather than frizzy kinks. Therefore, people with wavy hair need products that will control frizz and define their natural loose curls. Since products for curly hair are designed to preserve curls, they can be used on wavy hair as well. However, there are some products that are specifically geared towards those with wavy hair.

This product is lightweight, sulfate-free, and works to bring out the natural curves of your waves.

Fine/Thin Hair:

Since fine/thin hair tends to lack natural volume, you will want to use products that will add body to your hair. It is also important to wash fine/thin hair with a cleansing shampoo often, since this type of hair gets oily much quicker than normal hair.

BIOLAGE CLEANRESET NORMALIZING SHAMPOO/CONDITIONER

This shampoo and conditioner will purify your hair, leaving it lightweight and beautifully clean.

TIGI CATWALK ROOT BOOST

Use Catwalk Root Boost to lift your roots and maintain natural-looking volume throughout the day.

Color-Treated Hair: 

Due to its exposure to harsh chemicals, color-treated hair tends to be fragile and even sometimes damaged. It is important to use products that will work gently to repair the individual hairs and make them look as healthy as possible--all while preserving the color!
