Dry or oily hair? Discover what yours is
Identifying whether you have dry or oily hair is crucial for choosing the right routine. The balance between sebum production and the condition of the hair fiber directly influences shine, volume, and frizz.
How to tell if you have dry hair?
Dry hair lacks lipids and has an altered cuticle.
Frequent signs:
-
Dull appearance
-
Rough texture
-
Split ends
-
Frizz
Frizz appears when the cuticle is not sealed and the hair absorbs moisture from the environment. A study published in PubMed Central explains that frizz is related to structural changes on the surface of the hair fiber (Author/s, 2024).
How to tell if you have oily hair?
Oily hair is due to increased activity of the sebaceous glands.
You'll notice it if:
-
Roots become oily a few hours after washing
-
Hair loses volume
-
You need to wash it frequently
Using overly aggressive products can cause a rebound effect and increase sebum production.
Our recommendation from FARMA DORSCH
At FARMA DORSCH, we recommend adapting your routine according to your hair type:
-
If you have oily roots and dry ends:
Wash with shampoo for oily hair, apply conditioner, Conditioner by Farma Dorsch to mid-lengths and ends, and after showering, use the antifrizz to seal the fiber and control frizz. -
If you have dry hair:
Wash with the shampoo for dry hair, apply conditioner and, after showering, also use the antifrizz to provide softness and control frizz.
Correctly choosing shampoo and combining it with an antifrizz product is key to maintaining scalp balance and improving hair appearance.
