Taking care of hair is no mean feat, even for the hair stylists and designers who make their money making it less natural. The best part is that hair has its way of taking care of itself when in its natural state. But it needs help from the owner every once in awhile because our bodies and moods keep changing regularly and this affects our hair condition. Understanding your hair type in its natural state becomes the first step in knowing how to take care of it. Having curly hair may not mean that you cannot have it any other way.
Since all hair is made up of Keratin its pattern, amount, density and texture are what make it different, regardless of race. The easiest way to find out your pattern is to carefully cut a few strands and place them on a shiny surface and study their shape. It could be curly, straight, angling, or spirally. Once you have that in mind, you will never have a problem when handling it.
The amount usually notes the diameter of each strand on your head, coupled with the number of strands on your head, not by necessarily counting, but determined by the level of coarseness.
Density and Texture
This is usually the number of strands per square centimeter. It is never really easy to determine this but you can tell if it is thick, thin or medium. Much of the density is not race-specific as people might think, neither is it dependant on body size, or skin type. Neither is texture. Texture is determined by the thickness of your strands, ranging from coarse, fine and medium.
After you have understood the mass of locks that is on your head, it makes you more aware of how to take care of it when treating it. Hair conditioning is a prime activity that should be observed with reverence.
Different products scream of different advantages with their package, but it is practical to note that normal shampoo is always the best bet for keeping your mane normal and healthy looking. The best way to do your mane and leave it fresh looking and healthy is to take care of the scalp, its base. Make sure that you eat right by having lots of vitamins and proteins. Oiling and using a scalp revitalizing conditioner every time you wash it leaves it nourished and looking perfect.
