Brand
To keep things simpler, in this blog I wont be going into the many different hair care brands on the market, just the type of shampoo and conditioner (curl care, volumizing, etc...). However, after trying many different haircare brands in salon, I finally feel like I've found one that ticks all of the boxes for me, and that's SHED (or Salon Hair Every Day). If you'd like to learn more about Shed, then you can check their products out over on our online store.
Identify Your Hair Type
The first step in choosing the right haircare products is to identify your hair type. Is your hair straight, wavy, curly, or kinky? Is it fine, medium, or thick? Understanding your hair type will help you select products that are formulated to address your specific needs.
Some key things to consider here is that the curlier your hair, the more moisture that you're likely to need. It's also important to note that moisture could weigh down fine hair, making it harder to retain volume.
Assess Your Hair Concerns
Next, assess your hair concerns. Do you struggle with frizz, dryness, breakage, or dandruff? By pinpointing your specific hair concerns, you can choose products that target these issues and help improve the overall health of your hair.
Read the Labels
When shopping for haircare products, always read the labels. Look for key ingredients that are beneficial for your hair type and concerns. Avoid products that contain harsh chemicals or ingredients that may cause irritation or damage to your hair, such as sulphates and mineral oil.
Consider Your Styling Routine
Take into account your styling routine when selecting haircare products. If you frequently use heat styling tools, look for products that offer heat protection. If you prefer air-drying your hair, opt for products that enhance your natural texture.
Seek Professional Advice
If you're unsure about which haircare products are best for you, don't hesitate to seek advice from a professional stylist. They can assess your hair and recommend products that will address your specific needs and help you achieve your desired results.
By following these guidelines and taking the time to choose the right haircare products for your hair type and concerns, you can maintain healthy, beautiful hair that looks and feels its best!
