hair care history

Different types of hair require different methods of hair care

Different people from different countries have different hair types. This can range from the curly to straight, blondes and brunettes. The shapes and colors of hair also vary greatly.

People inherit the parent type of hair-this is science simple. But beyond the genetic contribution, other factors may be the geographic location of people around the world. Color and texture of the hair also can be altered, especially when there is intermarriage. This mix of racing results in different hair types and hair colors. As history has shown, people marry outside their race and that is when the mixture of genes that begin to produce different types of hair only.

The U.S., a diverse nation is one of the best examples of what it regards racial mixtures. In this country, some people have blond hair, black hair, red hair, silver hair, ashen hair, etc.

The basic hair types as classified by scientists

Scientists have tried to classify types of hair in relation to the first three races:

• People who come from East Asia often have straight hair rule. The color of most Asians "hair is black. Among the 3 races, this is the one that best resists damage.

• Africans in Africa. The climate and other environmental factors in the African continent curly hair. Her hair color is usually black and chapter structure is bent.

• The group of Caucasians have the greater percentage of the mixture between the three racial groups. Contemporary Caucasians are highly varied, even if they come from the same ancestral group. These people are from the north and Western Europeans in the Indian subcontinent. Hair color can be very pale (blond) to black.

Classification according to shape

• Straight hair
• Curly / frizzy hair
• Wavy hair

People with curly, wavy or curly hair often need attention especially with regard to people with straight hair. But all hair types require basic hair care such as shampoo, conditioner use, and hairstyle. Among the types of hair, straight hair is the type that is likely to break easily as it can stretch, especially when wet. Blow drying often leads to fragility and finally rupture.

Most teenagers see that your hair becomes oily when it reaches the period of adolescence. This is because adolescence spurs oil glands become active. Along with acne, greasy hair is also a temporal part of the life of each teenager. Oily scalp often occurs in people who have straight hair.

At the other end of the spectrum, if the hair is dry, it is best to wash once a week. Most curly and wavy hair people are prone to drought and therefore these people should choose their products for hair care as well. Conditioning is a must and recommended shampoos are those with jojoba oil.

Sometimes it is not just hair texture that causes dryness or too much oil on the scalp. Having rigorous activities can also cause oily hair or sun exposure can damage hair photo.

Hair care is pretty basic for all hair types, the only difference is the choice of products for hair care to suit the individual.
