To check which hair type you have, wash your hair as normal and let it dry naturally. The next morning, before washing your hair again, check for signs of dryness or oiliness. Your hair type will change if it cannot adjust naturally to changes in your environment. It will also probably change (both scalp and hair shaft becoming drier) if it is chemically coloured or permed. If your hair is neither pone to oiliness or dryness, you are one of the lucky few to have Normal Hair. Oily Hair Type feels slippery, you have an oily scalp and overactive sebum glands. Dry hair look dull, lifeless and parched; at its worst, it may look fuzzy and staw-like.
