Different Types of Natural Human Hair

1.  Greasy hair or Oily hair

This kind of hair is caused by the excessive secretion of sebaceous glands in the scalp. There are many reasons for its formation, but it is usually caused by a human hostage. In addition, if the daily life is abnormal (such as often staying up late, eating habits prefer meat or fried food with more oil), air environmental pollution, poor personal cleanliness, using inferior shampoo or hair products, or often going to the beauty salon to receive inappropriate ironing, curling, blowing and washing, which will excessively increase the burden on the hair and scalp, Even changed the original hair or scalp oil level and normal division of secrets. These are the main reasons for oily hair. More serious, it will cause excessive secretion of sebaceous glands, block hair follicles, hinder hair growth, and cause hair loss, and even baldness. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to choose the appropriate shampoo for cleaning.


2.  Dry hair

This kind of hair is due to the poor blood circulation of the scalp and the lack of oil leading to the skin. On the contrary, it does not moisturize the scalp enough, so that the cuticle of the scalp falls off layer by layer due to lack of water and excessive drying, resulting in annoying dandruff (this phenomenon is different from the cause of dandruff in oily hair). If this phenomenon is ignored and the scalp is not treated well, it may lead to hair loss, hair follicle atrophy, and even baldness.


3.  Damaged hair

As the name suggests, damaged hair quality refers to a kind of hair quality caused by damage to hair health. For example, when we dye and perm our hair, or when we are exposed to organic solvents for a long time or exposed to long-term sunlight, it will change the growth of hair fibers and form dry, withered, yellow, forked, and other damaged hair. If your hair has been damaged, you should quickly use hair products with a repair effect.


4.  Pathological hair

This kind of hair is usually caused by local lesions of the scalp, such as the most common dandruff. The reason for dandruff is usually that the sebaceous glands of the scalp secrete too much oil. Coupled with poor cleaning, it will lead to mold infection, or by poorly used or medicated shampoo, it will stimulate the sebaceous glands to secrete more oil and lead to the increase of dandruff. In addition, bad perm liquid will damage the scalp, light people will produce dandruff, heavy people may make hair fall or even baldness; In autumn and winter, most of them are due to poor cleaning, which makes the sebum crumbs dry and fall off.


5.  Normal hair

This kind of hair is the most healthy hair. The hair is neither too greasy nor too dry, so the hair will show natural flexibility and luster, which is also a kind of hair that should be maintained under normal conditions.

Quality and appearance are related to human health, do not ignore the signs of unhealthy hair, and take care of your human hair based on your hair type.
