Ultimate Hair Care Tips for Every Hair Type

Straight Hair: Keep It Light and Shiny

1. Try shampoo for oily hair

• Straight hair tends to get oily quickly as scalp oils can easily penetrate it.
• Use a shampoo that thoroughly cleanses while leaving your hair feeling soft and nourished.

2. Heat Safety

• Straight hair can be damaged by heat styling.
• Spray a heat protectant on your hair before using a hair straightener, curling iron, or blow dryer. A protective barrier reduces heat damage.
• Coat your hair well with heat protectant, especially the ends, which are most sensitive. Allow the protectant to dry for one minute before styling your hair.

Wavy Hair: Enhance Your Natural Waves

1. Moisturize thoroughly.

• Wavy hair can easily become unruly and frizzy.
• Use The Body Shop Shea Intense Repair Shampoo and Conditioner to keep waves soft and manageable. The key ingredients in this shampoo will help reduce frizz and seal in moisture better.
• Avoid sulfate-containing shampoos. They strip hair of natural oils, causing dryness and frizz. Use moderate, sulfate-free shampoos instead of stripping your scalp of its natural oils.

2. Use a Humidifier

• Daily usage of a regular hair dryer can induce frizz and change your natural hair texture.
• A humidifier should be used while blow-drying after shampooing your hair. By doing so, heat is evenly dispersed, and natural waves are emphasised without frizz. Secure your waves with a cool-setting hair dryer when they're nearly dry. This reduces frizz and boosts the shine of your hair.

Curly Hair: Define and Protect

1. Deep-conditioning treatments

• Curly hair is drier because scalp oils have a harder time getting down the shaft.
• Give your curls the best conditioner for dry hair. A good conditioner or hair mask deeply hydrates and nourishes hair.
• A shower cap and warmed towel may prevent wet hair from drying after deep conditioning. The heat helps the conditioner absorb better into the hair.

2. Pineapple Method

• Curls flatten and frizz when you sleep on them, making them harder to maintain.
• Put your hair in a loose, high ponytail like a pineapple to sleep with curls. Thus, your curls will stay intact, and frizz will decrease.
• Use a satin or silk bonnet to prevent hair damage and frizz. Sleep on a satin or silk pillowcase to reduce friction in your curls.

2. Tea Tree Purifying & Balancing Shampoo by the Body Shop

• Purifying Shampoo
• Perfect for oily hair
• Leaves hair feeling cleansed
