Hair Information and Hair Care

The type of hair that you have is hereditary, but affected (for better or worse) by the environment in which you live.  Let's explain further about your hair and how it is affected by the activities and situations you're in.

Hair is made of protein, oil, and moisture. It needs the proper balance of these to remain at peak beauty and strength. Hair is damaged by dirt, oil, sweat, and hair product residue that builds up on your scalp or hair when rinsed insufficiently.

• Hair Types:
• • Straight, wavy, curly, or kinky (super curly).
• Textures:
• • Fine hair(shiny and soft), medium textured hair (feels thcker and stronger, holds shape well), and coarse hair (heavier, thickest, and driest).
• Length:
• • Shaved, short, medium, and long.
• Color:
• • Red, blonde, black, white, auburn, brown, and everything in between.
• Density:
• • Thick or thin (based on number of hairs per square inch.
• Feel:
• • Dry, normal, oily.

Environment affects you and your hair. Too much Stress can damage your hair, especially if the stress is affecting how much sleep you get at night. Too much exercise might get you to shower more frequently and damage your hair or, if you don't shower enough, cause your hair to get built up oil and dirt residue (yuck!). Poor diet, lack of sleep, and not drinking enough water all play a roll in your overall health and directly affects the health of your hair.
