Choose hair products based on hair thickness
The foundation for healthy, luscious hair begins with a shampoo and conditioner formulated for your hair type, along with a deep-conditioning treatment for weekly blasts of moisture. One important takeaway when it comes to products: Different hair types have various needs.
"Someone with fine, straight hair might want more lightweight formulas like mists and sprays because heavy conditioners might weight hair down," says Danusia Wnek, chemist at the GH Beauty Lab.
Someone with thick, curly hair, on the opposite end, might want richer oils and thick creams to lubricate strands and might not worry about weigh down. "Selecting products specific to your hair type ensures that formulators and product developers have kept your hair type in mind when creating products," Wnek adds.
