Hair Styling Tools

Have you ever asked yourself the question, what exactly is “normal hair”?  I think most of us would answer the question with normal hair is not too oily or not too dry.  Additionally, if your hair doesn’t have split ends,  isn’t damaged in any other way,  and is fairly well behaved, one might classify their hair as normal.

So, if your hair is normal, what exactly does one need to do to keep it that way?    The most logical answer is to make sure you wash your hair at least twice a week with a mild shampoo and conditioner for normal hair.  If you are not a person that lets their hair air dry, then when using a hair dryer, be sure to blow dry from at least five inches away, whether your hair is normal, dry or oily.  

There are many shampoos and conditioners in the marketplace so finding the right one may be a process.  You can certainly go by the advice of your hair stylist or if that isn’t an option, I suggest you look for a product that says it is a hydrating shampoo or conditioner.  Let’s face it, using hair styling tools and just the natural exposure that our hair gets on a daily basis can certainly dry out our hair so something that adds moisture or hydrates the hair is essential.

Lastly, as I just mentioned, using hair styling tools on a regular basis will eventually break down the hair cuticles or folicles and some repair will be necessary.  So, the best thing you can do is to keep up the process that works best for you and so you can continue to be able to call your hair “normal”.
