Hair Tips From Antonio Prieto
What’s My Hair Type? How Do I Treat It?
From dry to oily, thick to fine…Being able to determine your hair type
(dry, normal, or oily) and density (how much hair covers the head) can
be a little complicated. Famed hair expert Antonio Prieto gives some
tips for identifying and tricks for treating your hair type.
With this easy “ponytail test”, you can find out density with just one easy twist of
the hair! With an average hair elastic, put your hair in a ponytail and count how
many times it wraps around your hair:
• 1 time is thick
• 2 – 3 times is medium
• 3 or more times is fine
After determining your hair type, it’s time to take care of it! A dirty scalp and hair
shaft is not conducive to supporting hair health, therefore shampooing is
important. However, it’s equally important not to overuse shampoo due to the
ingredient Sodium Lauryl Sulfate; it tends to be strong, causing the hair to be
stripped, dried out, and damaged.
If your hair is…
• Dry: Dry hair should be shampooed every other day. Using a lighter
conditioner will allow you to keep your hair from getting oily, letting
that shampoo bottle take a bit of a rest. This goes for chemically
altered or color treated hair as well.
• Normal: Normal hair can be shampooed every day, or
every two days depending on the
circumstances surrounding the hair.
• Oily: Oily hair should be shampooed according to how
oily the hair is, however every day is usually
necessary. If you notice your hair is oily even when
it is washed every day, it might be necessary to
contact a dermatologist since oily hair comes from
a scalp function
