Hair care is an essential part of everyone’s daily routine. Properly chosen cosmetics help maintain the health and beauty of hair, prevent damage, and promote its restoration. In this article, we’ll discuss how to choose the best products for your hair type and what to pay attention to when selecting them.
Determining Your Hair Type
Before choosing cosmetics, it’s important to determine your hair type.
Main types include:
Normal hair: looks healthy, neither too oily nor too dry.
Dry hair: looks dull, brittle, and has split ends.
Oily hair: becomes greasy quickly, especially at the roots.
Combination hair: oily at the roots and dry at the ends.
Determining your hair type will help you choose the best products for your hair.
Main Types of Hair Cosmetics
Hair cosmetics are divided into several main categories based on functionality and impact on hair.
Shampoos
Shampoo is the basic product for cleaning hair and the scalp.
The choice of shampoo should be based on your hair type:
For dry hair: nourishing and moisturizing shampoos containing amino acids, vitamins, and collagen.
For oily hair: shampoos without silicones and based on salt, regulating sebum production.
Sulfate-free shampoos: suitable for sensitive scalps and after keratin straightening.
Balm – Mask
Helps soften hair, prevent tangling, and protect from damage.
Main types:
Moisturizing balms – for dry or colored hair
Restorative balms – for damaged hair, usually containing keratin, collagen, or protein
Leave-in Care
These products are ideal for fine and damaged (e.g., lightened) hair. They are especially good for curly hair: naturally having a more porous structure, they are prone to breakage, easily absorbing moisture and dirt. Curls suffer greatly even with slight humidity fluctuations. Spray – for fine and brittle hair, helps with detangling and prevents knots Oils (coconut, argan, castor) – for strengthening and shine. Heat protection – to protect hair from high temperatures
What to Look for When Choosing Cosmetics
For cosmetics to truly work, it’s important to consider their ingredients and impact on hair.
Ingredients of the Products
Beneficial ingredients:
✅ Natural components (oils, collagen, glycerin, etc.)
