How to Find the Right Hair Product?

If
you haven’t shaven your head or allowed your hair to flow fancy-free, then you
would certainly be using a hair product to keep your hair in place and look
your best.

But
the question is: How did you choose that product?
Selecting
the right hair product from several different available products can really be
difficult. 
For
most people, it started by using some random hair products, which they haven’t
changed since when they were teenagers and for some, it was a trial by style or
recommendation from friends.

How to Find the Right Hair Product?


But
the truth is, the hair product you have been using for your hair may give an
overwhelming result by may not be the right hair product for you. But by
breaking down the hair care products, I will be helping you to find the 
right hair product for your hair need.

 

Hold and
Shine

All
hair products are categorized into two based on their characteristics: Hold and
shine. Hold deals with how firmly the hair product keeps your hair in place
while shine deals with how wet and shiny your hair looks after applying the hair
product.
So
if you want your hair to lock in place (set and forget), opt-in for hold hair
products. But if you want your hair to look natural, wet, and shiny, choose
Shine hair products.
Shine
hair products can either be high (makes your hair wet and slick) or matte
(which makes your hair dry and natural). Hold hair products also come in low,
medium, and high. High hold makes your hair lock stronger, medium to low hold
makes your hair to bounce.
In
terms of styling options, hair products can be categorized into:

Gel

I
would suggest a gel hair product if you want high hold and high shine hair
product for your spiky hair. This product keeps your spiky hair firmly in place
with little to no movement. Generally, if you prefer your hair to be crunchy
and immovable, the right hair product for you is the gel product.
More
so, if you want hair products that you can easily wash away, gel hair product is
the right one. Unlike oil-based hair products, gels are water-soluble and come
out easily with a thorough rinsing.
However,
gel hair products have a bad side. They are high in alcohol. Alcohol-based hair
products are not always the
right hair product for you. Alcohol can cause irritations
and dehydration.
So,
leaving gel products on your hair and scalp for long will likely dehydrate your
hair, dry out your scalp, and leave unsightly flakes behind.

Pomade

Pomade
is a classic hair product that offers high shine and a medium to low hold. Pomade
hair products will keep your hair locked in place and yet allow some re-styling
and movement. So if you need hair products that allow for flexible hold, get
pomade hair products.

Wax

Wax
hair products are very similar to pomade hair products in many ways. However, while
pomade can be either oil-based or water-based, wax products are oil-based. Wax hair
product offers a firm to medium hold and can be found in either matte or shiny
finishes.

Hair
Spray

You
can use hair spray products to keep your hair in place. But note that most hair
sprays can cause skin problems. For instance, when you apply hair spray, some
may land on your face and clog your pores. This may lead to blemishes, oily
build-up, or bacteria growth. 
I
would advise you to use less hair spray or better skip it to avoid skin
problems.

Choosing
the Right Hair Product for You

Everyone
is different, and each hair is unique. Hence, carefully take your time to study
the hair product and its ingredients so that you won’t be dehydration or
damaging your hair and scalp. Sometimes, a natural hair product may be the right hair product for you. 
It
all comes down to what works best for your hair. 
Keep
finding what works and what doesn’t.
