Features
Ribbon hair is an abnormality that is caused by the cross-section of the hair. The cross-section of hair can be oval, round or flattened. A flattened cross-section is band hair, a genetic "hair disease".
Ribbon hair cannot be conditioned or shaped, is difficult to style and can hardly be reshaped by a perm. Care and styling suitable for ribbon hair are the only aids that enable the hair to be styled in any way at all.

Bleaching changes the natural hair color by bleaching it. It is estimated that around 20% of adult women worldwide bleach their hair. Fashion trends are shaping this personalization, which is often combined with hair colouring (glossing).
Balayage techniques are particularly popular, which are performed professionally in salons and are expensive.
To make this personalization sustainable, it is often a quality requirement to maintain the hair color as long as possible and to stabilize it against environmental influences - especially those resulting from hair washing. For this, hair care is a very decisive factor.

Coloring refers to the hair dyeing process in which the natural hair color is changed using chemical agents. It can be used both to cover grey hair and to completely change the color of the hair in order to create individual, fashionable accents.

Features
Coloration, this term also includes hair coloring and intensive hair tinting, changes the hair color in manifold ways beyond the natural color shades. It is estimated that about 50% of adult women worldwide use hair colorants. Fashion trends as well as cultural groups shape the personalization here.

Features
Thick hair has a diameter greater than 0.09 mm. Characteristic here is excessive hair volume, which quickly leads to an uncontrollable and above all non-reproducible hairstyle appearance. This is due to the above-average plasticity of the hair, which is difficult to control with simple styling strokes, especially after sleeping, for example. As a result, the hair must be conditioned towards a "softer" plasticity.
Recommendation
Features
In fine hair, the cuticle layer has a significantly higher proportion of the mass between the cuticle layer and the fiber stem than in normal or even thick hair.
In the case of fine hair, this structural part of the cuticle is decisive for the properties of the hair. Damage to the cuticle leads to hair that appears more damaged overall. This is because the cuticle is the most "vulnerable" part of the hair structure. Fine hair is therefore more sensitive than normal or thick hair and is significantly less plastic, as the plastic-forming fiber stem makes up less of the hair.

Features
An average human hair is about 0.05 to 0.08 mm thick. Fine or thin hair is already spoken of when there is a diameter of 0.03 to 0.07 mm.
Typical, Central European hair is consequently fine-normal in terms of its thickness.
In fine hair, the cuticle has a significantly higher proportion of the mass between the cuticle and the fiber stem than in normal or even thick hair. In fine hair, this structural proportion of the cuticle is decisive for the properties of the hair.

Features
Oily hair has an above-average acid mantle. The cell membrane complex of the hair is significantly more oily than in the norm. This causes the hair to be naturally "over-groomed".
The result is weighed down, overly shiny and sticky hair, which often lies flat against the head and cannot be styled. Special care is required to reduce the over-processing properties without drying out the hair.
Recommendation
Features
Frizzy hair is characterized by its tendency to be dry and frizzy, which is often exacerbated by humidity fluctuations in the environment. These hair types require intensive moisturizing and smoothing treatments to soothe the hair texture and provide a smooth, shiny finish.
Recommendation
Features
Frizz is hair that does not align with the surrounding hair, but straightens or curls on its own. This creates a fuzzy or irregular texture.
The three main causes of frizz are genetic factors, hair damage and moisture absorption of the hair from the environment (especially in curly hair). The impression of a "straw head" is quickly created.
