How to Determine Your Hair Type by Stephanie Raeburn Thick natural coarse hair is indicative of Latin, Asian or Indian decent. Beautiful thick lovely tresses could damn near kill you during a blow dry and style session, but when it is done right, wow! With an emerging concentration on the Latin and Asian market, there is a stronger and more abundant amount of choices for coarser hair. This hair feels thick in the hand, and when you look at the scalp may appear to not be as dense (amount per square inch). When taken care of, coarse hair really shows off the transformation. Coarse hair shampooing and coarse hair conditioning takes more time. We have also experienced thousands of hours of blow-drying coarse thick hair straight. Try using a straightening iron for best smoothing results and combine with a great hair oil. We like Rusk Deepshine and Amika Oil. Damaged Hair is a real nightmare for you and for your stylist. Treatments only work slightly and the best remedy is what you do not want to hear, "Cut it off and start over." We all know people who have it, or have had it ourselves. With all the chemical treatments available and the frenzy of color, extensions and straighteners Japanese and Brazilians, perms and products, pollution and sun, chlorine and salt... well you get the picture. We like Kerastase Nutritive Bain Satin 2 Shampoo, Nexxus Hydruss Moisturizing Shampoo and Bumble and Bumble Alojoba Shampoo. "Fine hair" is describing the diameter of the hair, not the density of hair (the amount per square inch would be considered sparse hair, not fine. Fine hair has the smallest circumference of all the hair types. Fine hair can be so soft and silky because it has the most compact cuticle. Fine hair is apparent in all colors but generally loves blond. Unless it has been chemically altered to damage the cuticle, fine hair reflects light the best of the three textures. Healthy, fine hair has a great shine. LESS IS MORE! Condition once a week or every 7 shampoos with something really light and protein based for texture. Moisture will have too much weight, so do not plan on going out if you moisturized fine hair. We like Wild in the Child Shampoo and Rusk Volumizing Shampoo. Finally, Normal hair type... This is the majority of American hair (thus called normal) and what most of the over the counter products are designed for. Here is something interesting to know about hair care products: they are designed to work 70% of the time on 70% of the people. Try Oribe Signature Shampoo as a great daily regime. It seems that less then half the people picking up the product will get what the manufacturer claims. Now this is in no way a bash on manufacturers, because they are not exactly sure who the consumer is. There is no one recommending the product at the counter that is trained to work with whatever it is you are buying so this is the right system for over the counter products. What I will say is this: it will only be an opinion and that is why I love professional stylist recommending products. © Stephanie Raeburn.  For more information please go to my site http://www.letstalkaboutyourhair.com
