It is important to know what type of hair you have as this will help you to choose the best products to look after it and ensure your hair always looks and feels fantastic. Don’t forget that when your hair looks great you feel more confident.
Deciding what type of hair you have is a big step to finding the best Haircare products for you.
There are three considerations when deciding your hair type:
- Density
The density of your hair is effectively the thickness. The greater the number of individual strands on your head the denser or thicker your hair is. It’s worth noting that you can have thin hair that is dense and thick hair that is fine.
To assess the density of your hair you need to take a chunk of it in your hand and pull it to one side. Then, see how easy it is to see your scalp, this will tell you the density of your hair.
If there is little blocking your scalp then you have thin density hair. In contrast, barely being able to see your scalp means you have thick-density hair. Partial scalp visibility means you have medium-density hair.
2. Diameter
The next step is to look at the diameter of your hair. This means how thick each individual strand is Don’t worry, you will not need a tape measure. All you have to do is hold one strand of hair between your forefinger and your thumb.
If the strand is barely visible or appears invisible you have thin hair. When it is easy to see the hair strand you have thick hair. Anything between these two extremes will class as medium thickness.
3. Porosity
The final stage is looking at the porosity. This is how good your hair is at absorbing and retaining moisture. Its ability to retain moisture is essential for it to stay healthy and looking good.
It can also help you to choose the right product for your hair.
The best way to test porosity is to pull one strand of hair out of your head and drop it into a glass of water. If the hair sinks to the bottom you have high porosity. Unfortunately, this means your hair is easier to damage as it will easily absorb chemicals and other substances which are not beneficial to your hair.
When the strand of hair floats on the surface it tells you your porosity is low. Your hair will take a long time to dry and doesn’t let moisture or other substances in easily. This makes it hard to style and increases the likelihood of you using heat products that will damage your hair.
Medium porosity occurs when your hair floats halfway down the glass. This is the best option as your hair requires minimal maintenance and dries easily, making it less prone to being damaged.
Remember, there is no right or wrong hair type. As long as you know what type of hair you have you can purchase the best products to look after it effectively.
Now, Toni & Guy is an oldie but a goodie when it comes to haircare brands. I recently tried out their 
hair
The thing about soft curls or wavy hair is that are suitable for any kind of occasion – a causal outing, evening event or party, or if styled properly, even for office. And there’s loads of ways to get your tresses all fluffy and curled. Of course, the most popular way to curl them using curling wands or irons. But guess what? You can get the look without any of the harmful heat treatment too! All you need to do is use sea salt spray and a bit of your ingenuity and you’ll be good to go.
It’s really simple, isn’t it? But maybe you don’t want to put in that much effort. If that’s the case, you can always go in for a store-bought concoction. I have used Mark Hill Holiday Hair Beach Babe Wave Sea Salt Spray and it’s quite nice. If you’re looking for a relatively inexpensive option, this product would be ideal.
Now the question is, how does one use sea salt spray – be it homemade or store-bought – to style their hair? All you need is a comb, spray, two rubber bands and a dryer (and that too if your hair is wet and you’re short on time). There’s two ways to go about it. The more fuss-free one is when your hair is damp and you need a quickly put together curly do. In that case, ensure your hair is not wet but has some moisture. Spray on the sea salt solution on separate sections of your hair. If you don’t want too much volume, avoid using it on the roots. After spraying it all over, comb your hair for even distribution of the product. Then scrunch and twist your hair to give them the desired curly texture. The scrunching and twisting will activate the sea salt and help your hair retain their twirled form.
