How do you determine your hair type?

Did you know that many people do not know what hair type they have? It is a common problem and can lead to improper hair care. At L'ARIN we understand how important it is to care for your hair properly, depending on your hair type. That's why we would like to shed some light on this subject, so that everyone can take optimal care of their hair. Read on to discover more! Here are a few simple steps to determine what hair type you have:

Step 1: Wash and dry your hair

Start by washing your hair with a mild shampoo suitable for daily use. Make sure you remove all styling products from your hair before you start. Then gently dry your hair with a towel.

Step 2: Observe the texture

Take a moment to look at the texture of your wet hair. Is it fine or coarse? Does it feel smooth or has more structure? This will help determine your hair type.

Step 3: Study the curl patterns

If your hair is naturally curly, take a closer look at how tight or loose your curls are. Does your hair curl into little coils or does it have more waves? This will help determine your specific curl type.

Step 4: Test the elasticity

Gently pull on a wet strand of hair and let go. If your hair immediately bounces back to its original shape, it has good elasticity. If the hair bounces back slowly or not at all, your hair may be less elastic.

Step 5: Consider the thickness

Determine whether your hair is thin, normal or thick by looking at the individual hair shafts. If you roll several hairs between your fingers and barely feel them, you probably have fine hair. If the hairs are clearly noticeable, you may have thicker hair.

It is understandable that many people do not know what hair type they have. There are various factors that play a role in this, such as the texture, thickness and elasticity of the hair. But it is important to know what hair type you have, because this determines which care routine suits your hair best. For example, if you have fine and thin hair, it is important to use products that give volume without weighing the hair down. People with curly hair, on the other hand, often need moisturizing products that reduce frizz and define curls. For people with dry or damaged hair, nourishing and restorative products can be a game changer.
