How To Choose Hair Care Products?
When it comes to our hair, the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. Women with straight hair want perfect curls and women with curly hair like straightening their hair. But the overall health of your hair depends on the type of hair care products you use to achieve your favorite hairstyle.
Let's see how women can choose the best hair care products for themselves.
- Your natural hair texture/type
There are different types of hair, yours could be thick, coarse, or fine hair type. This makes us divide the hair type into the following categories: straight, wavy, and curly. Each hair type has its upsides and downsides.
For example, straight hair gets greasier faster than curly hair, meanwhile, curly hair is hard to detangle and manage every day. Wavy hair feels dry and unruly more often than other hair types.
So for choosing your hair care products, make sure to keep in mind the type of hair you have!
- Whether your hair has been bleached/dyed or chemically processed
If your hair has gone through the process of bleaching or dying, you will need products that provide extra nourishment to your hair. People with dyed hair need color-protecting shampoos and other hair care products.
Bleached hair requires regular conditioning and extra nourishment in the form of hair masks. Find products that suit your hair conditions.
- Whether you have specific hair concerns
Flaky scalp, dandruff, split ends, or extreme hair loss, there are myriads of hair problems that people suffer from. Your hair care product must focus on the specific hair condition that you have. This way, you will be able to address your hair concerns better.
Hair Care Routine
Choosing a hair care routine is very important to keep your hair healthy and shiny. The basics of a good hair care routine are as mentioned below.
- Cleanse
Cleansing your hair makes you get rid of product residue left on your hair and the dead skin cells of your hair. This leaves your hair follicles feeling healthier. If you don't wash your hair properly, sebum would build on your hair, making it feel oily.
You also need to make sure that your shampoo is not too hard, otherwise, it will also strip your hair of its natural oils. This will make your hair frizzy and dry. Try using natural shampoos that are chemical-free and give you natural shiny hair.
- Condition
Conditioners come with a myriad of benefits. They help make your hair shiny and moisturized. They also help control the frizziness of your hair. They coat your hair with a cationic surfactant which replenishes your hair with the necessary moisture that your shampoo may have removed while cleaning.
- Moisturize
Oils provide necessary moisture to your dry, lifeless hair and make them stronger from the roots. They hydrate your hair and seal the moisture into your hair follicles. Use a natural hair oil that offers chemical-free ingredients to nourish your hair.
- Detangle
After you are done with cleaning and moisturizing your hair, you need to detangle it with a wide-mouthed comb to make sure you don't put too much pressure on your hair or pull it out. Using combs made of wood increases the blood circulation in your scalp for the growth of healthy hair.
- Style
With a great number of serums, gels, and other styling products available in the market, you can style four hair daily anyway you want. We do however recommend not using too many chemical products on your hair.
If you are using constant heating tools on your hair, make sure to coat your hair with a heat protectant spray.
- Hair Treatment
There are myriads of hair treatment solutions available today. For example, protein treatments are a great way of nourishing your hair for a frizz-free look. On the other hand, keratin treatments are available for people suffering from hair loss issues.
Hair spa has become a trendy hair care routine. We do however recommend you to use as many natural products on your hair as you can. Chemicals in synthetic hair care products damage your hair in the long term.

Why Use Natural Hair Care Products?
Our hair needs essential vitamins and nourishing oils just like our body needs food. The hair care products that we apply are absorbed in our hair follicles which use it to derive the essential nutrients from it.
If we use products containing too many chemicals like parabens and SLS etc., our hair follicles will absorb them. These chemicals will then cause hair fall, hair thinning, and other hair-related problems.
Natural hair care products do not contain toxins and chemicals. This makes them safer to be used.
Benefits Of Natural Hair Care Products
Natural hair care products offer myriads of benefits. Let's take a better look at it.
- No harmful chemicals
Shampoos available in the market contain all types of chemicals including parabens, sulfates, and silicones. These products are harmful to your hair and the overall health of your body in the long term.
Natural hair care products do not contain these chemicals and help your hair gain its natural skin and thickness back. All the ingredients used in natural hair care products are plant-based and sourced ethically.
- Environment friendly
Natural hair care products use eco-friendly, plant-based ingredients. Further, there are no harmful chemicals in these products that can go down the drain and pollute our rivers and oceans.
Natural hair care products also use recycled materials for packaging. This makes sure that no plastic or other non-biodegradable material is being used in making your product.
- Scalp becomes healthier
Hard cleansers like the ones that have sulfates cause dry, itchy scalp. Using mild shampoos made from natural ingredients gently cleanses your scalp to give you clean and moisturized hair that shines perfectly.

Ordinary hair care products simply mask the problems you are facing by providing an instant solution. But the problem doesn't go away.
