Hair Care Tips - Know your hair type
Filed Under Hair Care |
The hair, which plays a very live part in enhancing one’s self-esteem, is the most integral beauty accessory and with it one can also subtract years of her age.
Understanding your Hair Type
Here is a simple tissue paper test to find out your hair-type:
Wash your hair. Next day, take a tissue paper and press it on the centre of the head and behind the ears. Do not rub the tissue paper.
Remove the tissue paper and observe it carefully. If you find oil on the tissue paper, you have oily hair otherwise your hair is dry. Likewise if the head is oily but the ends are dry, you have combination hair. If the hair is shiny and non-greasy, you have normal hair and are infact a very lucky person. Once you find out your hair type, you can treat your hair accordingly.
