Pick the right kind of hair styling product according to your hair type

The market is buzzing with a variety of hair styling products. For example, did you know the average drugstore hair-care aisle displays more than 600 products? (To give you some perspective: The skin-care aisle only has about 400.) There’s an endless sea of pomades, gels, mousses, and soufflés to make us love our hair even more.

It is probably unreasonably flat as well. Your hair needs volume, stat! And that too in the right places. Apart from using a thickening shampoo and conditioner, make the dry shampoo your best friend - it adds texture, grip, and bulk to slippery fine hair, and it can be used throughout the day to create fresh lift.However, you'll need to wash it out within a few days though, especially if you plan to wear your hair down—too much buildup kills volume.

Such type of hair has a tendency to go dry and unruly. Hence intense and careful moisturisation is essential. To ensure your hair looks glossy and has defined curls, when your hair is about 50 percent dry, twist large chunks of curls around your fingers (with a generous blob of styling oil or silicone serum) and then stop touching them.

If your hair is wavy

The thing people go wrong with wavy hair is that an attempt to avoid frizz (which is also wavy hair’s biggest problem) they add more product than they should and make things worse. After you use an anti-frizz shampoo, pick lighter styling products that contain natural oils instead of silicone to smooth the waves without smothering them. If your waves need a little coaxing to reach their full potential, salt sprays are better than gels or curl creams. Remember, natural ingredients are the key here.
