Much like understanding your skin type is crucial for implementing an effective skincare regimen; determining your actual hair type can play a massive role in the efficacy of your daily hair care routine. And yet, figuring out your correct hair type may be easier said than done. Besides the distinct categories like healthy hair, dry hair, oily hair, and weak hair, there are also several other factors to consider in pinpointing your hair type. Below is everything you need to know about determining your exact hair type and what that means for your daily hair care routine.

Hair with high porosity typically absorbs moisture too quickly because of gaps or tears around the cuticle. Those damaged areas cause it to release moisture at a high rate, making it dry and brittle. It’s best to avoid heat styling and harsh chemical treatments that can continue to make the hair brittle for these hair types.

On the other hand, low porosity hair types are those where the cuticle lies flat, blocking water or moisture from being absorbed into the strands. For these hair types, the biggest concern is typically product buildup, which is why it’s recommended you apply products while your hair is still damp to help ensure they’re more easily absorbed and distributed.

Normal Hair:

Dry Hair:

The split ends of the hair broken and the hair suddenly fades in the hair. It is not very easy to maintain with such type of hair.

People with this type of hair should get regular oil massage and hair care. Because of the hair and hair, follicles are dry, also use natural hair conditioner. The person with dry hair should not comb the hair backward. 

Oily Hair:

Oily hair is often brought on by a buildup of excess sebum, a naturally occurring oil produced within our oil glands.

Weak Hair:

Weak hair can be defined as limp, droopy, thin, or falling out. Split ends, extreme dryness or excessive oiliness can all be signs of dull hair.

The hair that lost from breakage is not the same as an ordinary loss. Hair that falls out naturally comes from the scalp, typically with the bulb attached.

Damage from weakness is when the hair breaks off below the scalp. While some breakage is normal, excessive breakage indicates weakened hair.

Weak hair often shows itself as split ends, which can travel up the hair shaft and break off Environmental impact from sun exposure, chlorine or saltwater, air conditioning or heating and pollution can weaken hair.
