Cocktailing For Your Hair Type

Your hair craves moisture so it would make sense you need a hydrating shampoo and conditioner, right? This may not actually be the case.

Your scalp and hair may not require the same types of products, so it isn't as simple as buying the entire volumizing or hydrating line of a brand. Your daily regimen is based on more than just your hair type; therefore it is unlikely that one type of hair product is going to be suitable for all your needs. It is important to play mixologist to ensure your hair has the proper cleansing and balancing system. The first step is to determine your scalp type. Once this is determined, your hair type will be listed underneath, along with the perfect products to keep your hair healthy and happy!
