Fine 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.

Recommendation

Oily 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

Frizz

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

Frizzy hair

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.
