Today, more than ever before, there are styling products available to tame even the most difficult hair. There are mousses and gels, creams and pastes, serums and pomades, sprays and lotions. The decision is made even more difficult if your hair does not fall into a single, simple category; mine, for example, is baby fine, fragile because of perms and colors, and difficult to style. With all of that to consider, how does one go about finding the right hair styling product? Hopefully this article will help you with these tricky decisions!
Understand your hair type and condition
First, it is important to understand your own hair; its current condition as well as what you want to accomplish with it. Fine hair can appear thin and sparse even when you have lots of it because it generally has little or no natural body. It is often difficult to curl and holds any style poorly, particularly in humid or damp weather. Course hair often appears wiry and out of control. It takes time to style and can frizz just as easily as fine hair under the right conditions. Normal hair is obviously the ideal, although few of us are actually blessed with it.
Although straight hair is currently in and something that most women aspire to at one time or another, it can be difficult to style in anything other than loose waves. Curls can be difficult to obtain without the assistance of artificial chemicals such as permanents. Natural curly hair is not much better; much like course hair it can often look out of control and frizzy in the wrong type of weather. While there are lots of hair straighteners on the market, they can cause as much damage as permanents do.
