The way in which you should care for your hair will depend on your hair type. People with greasy hair will have a different hair care regime than someone with dry or flyaway hair. You need to establish what type of hair you have before you know how best to care for it.

Dry hair: Often prone to breaking, frizzing and with a generally dull appearance. Dry hair needs moisture. When washing, use a shampoo specifically formulated for dry hair, this will help increase its much needed moisture levels. Also use a conditioner for dry hair. Wrap your hair in a towel for a couple of minutes after washing, then remove the towel and apply conditioner. This will make the effect of he conditioner more intensive. Try not to wash your hair everyday, leaving your hair for a couple of days and not washing it will give the natural oils in your hair a chance to spread around the hair a little.

When styling, use a heat protection product, this will minimise the damage that your heated styling appliances will do. Make sure anything you apply to your hair has dried before you straighten your hair. Having liquid on your wet air and then straightening it will do a lot of damage; your straighteners will basically boil any moisture that is left on your hair.

Greasy hair: Often looks lank and wet, and you may have washed it just that morning. This is caused by overproduction of sebum.

Specifically formulated shampoos are good for greasy hair, they contain ingredients that help to delay the production of oil, making the hair look fresher for longer.

You may need to wash your hair everyday, but do not use a harsh shampoo or water that is too hot. This will only cause the sebum glands to overcompensate and produce more oil. Try a dry shampoo; this will help to remove some of the oil without drying out your roots completely

You will still need heat protection so when choosing styling products, go for something light, but protective. Sprays are best, as serums and creams tend to be too heavy and drag the hair down, and make it look much greasier. Apply to the middle and ends of your hair, if you apply them too high up, you will just make your hair look even greasier.

Combination hair: Possibly the most difficult to care for, combination hair will normally have greasy roots and dry ends. There are shampoos available for combination hair, but there is not a great selection. Choose a mild shampoo, nothing too harsh, as this will damage the ends. Dry shampoo will remove the grease from the roots without drying out the ends. Choose a conditioner that is not too heavy, something designed for greasy hair; these will still condition the dry ends of your hair without making your roots look even greasier.

Apply heat protection styling products to the middle and ends of your hair, not the roots.

Normal hair: If you are lucky enough to have normal hair, then choose a shampoo and conditioner that will help to maintain the moisture levels in your hair, make sure you still use heat protection products.

Coloured hair: The lathering process when washing your hair can strip it of a lot of its colour. Choose a shampoo for coloured hair (they lather less) Choose a conditioner that is for coloured hair aswell, these will keep your colour looking fresher for longer. Try not to wash your hair everyday.

There are many styling products available for coloured hair, even specific colours such as brown, red and blonde (although I have never seen one for black hair)

These will all protect your hair and keep your colour looking vibrant at the same time.

Many people suffer from oily hair for a number of reasons. Some suffer because of genetics, while other suffer from over production of oil, and even from dry scalp causing that over production of oil. Treating oily hair doesn’t have to be the nightmare that many people feel it is.

The best thing you can do for your hair is to live a healthy lifestyle. You should be eating lots of fruits and vegetables. Take a high quality multi-vitamin. You should also exercise at least three times a week. A healthy lifestyle will go a long way towards healthy hair.

Washing the hair.

The first thing that is important to keeping your oily hair under control is to wash the hair. You should choose a shampoo that is transparent and not overly colorful. These shampoos have less ingredients in them and are going to clean better without leaving behind any sort of residue. When shampooing you should start at the scalp and use the shampoo to wash away the oil from the scalp first. You will want to rub the shampoo into the scalp without washing the hair. Leave the shampoo on your scalp for two to five minutes. Rinse and repeat until the shampoo foams up easily. Then finish by washing the hair. Make sure that you rinse your hair off really well with luke warm water or even cold water to help close up the pores.

You can wash your hair once a day, but if you can manage waiting then once every other day is better. There are a few things that you can do to help your hair look better between washings.

Conditioning.

Because oily hair is often caused from dry scalp, it is a good idea to condition the hair and especially the scalp after washing. However, most conditioners purchased in the store are often too heavy and won’t do this job well. The best option is an at home condition so that you will treating your oily skin while also making sure that you aren’t drying your scalp out.

Add a tablespoon of oil to two tablespoons of lemon juice. Dip your fingers into the mix and rub onto the scalp and then run your fingers through your hair. Let it sit a few minutes and then rinse it. You can also rinse with vinegar or leftover beer for a shiny look that will also have less oil. Eggs can be added for a great healthy and natural conditioner.
