How can you determine the nature of your hair?

If you wish to obtain dream hair, it is essential to maintain it both regularly and in a personalised way. Learn how to recognise the nature of your hair so to choose 100% specialised treatments that are best suited.

You have thick hair if…

You have lots of hair. Your hair is heavy and there is a lot of substance. It takes time to untangle and style your hair. You definitely require a large quantity of product to treat it. Furthermore, your hair is resistant to breaking.

You can appreciate the thickness of your hair with a bob or a straight cut, but also when you tie it up into a ponytail or a chignon.

You have fine hair if…

It’s fragile and prone to break. It gets tangled easily when you wear it loose. In full sunlight, it’s also possible to see transparency in your hair. Furthermore, your hairstyles never hold for very long. Also, your hair often needs styling products to fix it or to give it a boost.

You have oily hair if…

Your roots are shiny. You produce excess sebum; which makes your hair glisten. When you rub the tip of your index finger on your scalp, you notice your finger shines instantly. Also, when you dampen your hair, it becomes difficult to dry with a matt appearance. In fact, the water doesn’t soak into your hair fibre easily, just like in a humid atmosphere. It all stays on the surface and gives your hair a shiny appearance.

You have dry hair if…

Your hair is dull and feels rough to touch when you don’t apply treatment. Your hair is often frizzy which you find difficult to tame. Furthermore, your hair clings to itself easily, it’s difficult to untangle and can break. In general, it’s often curly and frizzy hair which tends to be naturally dry.

You have weakened hair if…

You have excessively used straighteners or blow-dried your hair. You have coloured your hair repetitively or coloured it a tone which is too damaging, sensitising the hair fibre. You forgot to apply sun protection during your summer holiday. Your hair has therefore lost its shine and elasticity. Now you must deeply reinvigorate it with keratin enriched treatments.
