Understanding the different hair types

Understanding your hair type is crucial for achieving healthy, lustrous locks at Edenika Botanicals. Everyone's hair is unique, and there's no one-size-fits-all approach to hair care. We've compiled this guide to help you understand your hair type and choose the best Shampoos and Conditioners.

1. Straight Hair

Is generally considered the most accessible hair type to manage, as it tends to be smooth and shiny. However, it can also be prone to oiliness, as sebum (the natural oil produced by the scalp) can easily travel down the hair shaft. If you have straight hair, you should look for a gentle shampoo that won't weigh your hair down and a lightweight conditioner that won't leave your hair feeling greasy. 

2. Wavy Hair

Is characterized by loose, S-shaped waves that add volume and texture. Wavy hair can be prone to frizz, especially in humid conditions. If you have wavy hair, look for a shampoo that's designed to control frizz and add moisture to your hair. A nourishing conditioner can also help to enhance your waves and prevent breakage. 

3. Curly hair

Curly hair ranges from loose curls to tight, kinky curls. It can be challenging to manage, as it's prone to dryness, tangles, and breakage. If you have curly hair, you should look for a shampoo specifically designed for curly hair, as it will help define your curls and prevent frizz. A rich, moisturizing conditioner is essential for keeping your curls hydrated and healthy.

4. Coily hair

Coily hair is the tightest and most densely packed type of curly hair. It's prone to dryness, breakage, and shrinkage (where the hair appears shorter than it is). If you have coily hair, you should look for a gentle shampoo to avoid stripping your hair of its natural oils. A thick, creamy conditioner is essential for keeping your hair hydrated and reducing tangles.
