Many women make one huge hair care mistake – they use products that are not suitable for their hair type. They wrongly assume that product is not good. Knowing the way your hair is physically and chemically constructed is one of the most important factors in product performance. Your hair structure determines your hair needs. At the same time, the structure of your hair is determined by its physical and chemical properties and the shape of hair follicles. All these factors have an enormous effect on how products perform. Each hair structure has a different interfiber relationship, which ultimately requires a different product for getting the best results.
Women with fine hair have up to 50% less protein than thick hair. For this reason, they need special reinforcements to keep strands from falling flat and preventing breakage. Fine hair has the least amount of fiber-to-fiber interactions and is less durable and more flexible than thick hair and prone to breakage. To help protect against damage, conditioning is critical for fine hair.
Medium-thick hair can contain up to two times more cells than fine hair. This makes it more rigid and capable of absorbing more moisture than fine hair. Frizz is a common problem with this hair structure. The twists and turns of curly hair cause cuticles to lift and weaken, which leaves hair rough and very difficult to control.
Curly hair has the highest number of fiber-to-fiber interactions and needs help minimizing the friction between fibers to prevent damage. If you color your hair chemically, you change hair structure during the coloring process, making it rough and dull. Because the structure has been altered, it may need extra moisturizing and conditioning ingredients to prevent damage.
As you can see, knowing your hair structure is vital for proper selection of products. Companies such as Pantene now offer collections of shampoos, conditioners, styling products and treatments that are specially designed to work with the hair's structure.
