How have you ladies been? Trust we've been good. Determining your hair's oiliness is important as having such knowledge can help you create a proper haircare regimen.
To know your hair's oiliness, you may decide to try this method using a tissue.
• Wash your hair with a shampoo preferably with one that contains sulphate(s) to remove any trace of dirt or residue. Follow this with a conditioner, and rinse your hair properly.
• Let your hair air dry. Do not use a blow dryer or add any products to your hair as this can alter your result. Ensure that you do not do any strenous activity that may cause sweat as this too can alter the result.
• Allow for a period of 8-12 hours or till the next day before you carry out the test. This is to give enough time for the hair to produce oil.
Once this is done, part your hair at the crown, take a tissue and press gently against the scalp. Do not rub the tissue against your scalp just a firm but gentle press will do. Do the same to the part of your head behind your ear. You may continue to check the other parts of your head if you wish.
• Medium - If there is a trace of oil on the tissue, then you have medium hair.
• Oily - If there is a lot of oil, then you have oily hair.
• Combination - If there is no oil from one part of your hair but little or a lot of oil from another part, then you have combination hair.
Knowing this can help you determine what type of hair products you need such as conditioners, moisturizers, shampoos etc. I have dry hair so I use products that are very moisturizing, I keep away frim drying products, I try to avoid using sulphate shampoo regularly except when needed.
Do tell me what is your hair' oiliness like. Do you or will you create a haircare regime using this as a guide.
