If you think that beautiful hair is only a gift of nature, you are deeply mistaken. It is possible to give a healthy shine and beauty to weak thin hair, if you take care of them, or you can spoil magnificent hair by negligent care of them, or rather, the absence of any care. Hair suffers from stress, from constant styling using various devices, from the sun, from cold, and from many other factors. At the same time, just washing them regularly with shampoo and combing is not enough: the hair also needs to be nourished and strengthened.

Let’s talk about hair types

To choose the right hair mask, you need to know their type. Hair can be normal, oily and dry. The first type includes those that have not been chemically attacked and have not been painted. They keep their shape well, have a healthy shine, after washing their hair they do not get greasy for a long time and do not become dry.

Oily hair sticks together with each other, they don’t hold their shape at all – they clearly lack volume. In appearance, they seem drooping and are salted extremely quickly. Hair becomes dry and hard to the touch after frequent dyeing and perm. They are easily confused, difficult to comb and look dull and nondescript.

As you can see, determining your hair type is not difficult. You can easily do this. Guided by the type of hair, and you should choose a firming mask. For example, to care for the roots of normal hair, it is recommended to use kefir as a base, it is better to add a little ground parsley or rye bread to masks for oily hair, and burdock oil is perfect for dry hair.
