Wavy with straight locks
It is a very common problem. Many women find that only part of their hair curls and they even have straight locks and some wavy ones. To treat this type of hair there are several things you can do. Divide your wet hair into two parts and start twisting from the bangs to the back, take two little bows, holding them with large clips behind the head and blow-dry. Leave it like this until it is completely dry and cool. In this way you will get soft waves throughout the mane. They will also be easier to get if you cut it in layers.

If you never find the right shampoo for you because you don't know very well how to define your hair, you have one of the five most complicated hair types to care for. However, you do not have to worry because with the combination of products that we propose it will be much easier.
The most complicated types of hair and how to care for them
- Oily roots + dry tips . Mixed hair is like skin, it has dry areas and other more oily ones. To take care of it, you can opt for a volumizing shampoo because they clean the root well so that it does not stick to the head and also does not dry out the tips. You can also intersperse it with the use of a dry shampoo. Regarding the conditioner, choose a moisturizing one and use it only from medium to ends.
- Wavy with smooth strands. The hair is sometimes capricious and in some areas it is wavy but in others it can be smooth as a board. You can wave it completely, which will help you a lot to wear layers or straighten it with the irons. Use a moisturizing conditioner, mask, and anti-frizz spray to prevent frizz , especially on rainy days.
- Chemical straightening. If you have undergone a treatment of this type you have to pay special attention to your hair. Use a hair scrub once a week, combine a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner, and when styling your hair, use a detangling spray to prevent breakage.
- Fine and damaged. Fine hair is usually more fragile, so it is normal for it to be damaged. Use the conditioner first and then the shampoo and see that they are suitable for your hair. Get a shovel brush to more easily detangle your hair. To add volume, nothing like a mousse (styling or finishing product) that adds volume.
- Canas . If you have decided to leave your gray hair in sight, use products with purple pigments to make them look more cared for. With a round brush it will be easier to "tame" it in blow drying. Apply a shine spray as a finishing touch.
