HAIR DENSITY

We'll enlighten you!

On your curling journey, you've probably heard a lot about curl type , porosity , protein and moisture. These are important factors influencing beautiful hair. But that's not all! We explain what hair density is all about and how it influences your product selection. 🤓

Hair density is genetically determined and can only be influenced to a limited extent. It describes how much hair you have per section. Your hair grows from the so-called hair follicles, the number of which can hardly be increased naturally. Nevertheless, a healthy diet and good scalp cleansing and care create the perfect basis for natural hair growth.

🔎 Test: To determine your hair density, push aside the hairs on your scalp and examine how much scalp you can see.

THE DIFFERENT HAIR DENSITIES:

1. Low hair density (thin hair):

You can see the skin at your hairline very well.

👉 Tip: with low hair density, there are a few tricks you can use to create more volume. Volume helps you to make your hair look fuller. Avoid heavy products (like oils or heavy conditioners) as these can weigh down your curls and make them saggy. Reach for light care products, weightless styling products such as mousse or mousse.

2. Medium hair density (medium dense hair):

Your hair type is between low and full hair density.

👉 Tip: with medium hair density you are a little more flexible when it comes to styling - whether volume or definition, test what suits you best. For example, you can maintain with heavier products and style with light ones to create volume or the other way around with light products and work with stronger styling products to create more definition.

3. Thick hair:

You can see very little of your scalp.

👉 Tip: with full hair density, you can often use heavy products such as creams or butters to control the curls and hold them together. Stronger styling products that shape your curls (gels or butter) can also help you here.

BONUS TIP:

Possible combinations of different hair densities and hair thicknesses:

low hair density x thin/fine hair

This hair type has little and fine hair. Here you should be particularly careful to use light products that do not let your hair hang out and give the impression of being thinner. Reach for mousse and products that create volume so you can create more fullness.

low hair density x thick hair

This hair combination is characterized by the fact that you have little hair, but it is very thick. This can cause your hair to look stringy. Reach for serums to keep your curls soft and flexible, and work with styling products that create volume. This way you create elastic and full curls.

full hair density x thin/fine hair

This combination means that you have a lot of hair, but it is very fine. This can give the impression that it can hardly be tamed. Light and defining products are suitable here to keep the curls where you want them to be.

full hair density x thick hair

This hair type is probably one of the more difficult hair types, because you have a lot of hair and it is also very thick and not very elastic. It can feel very heavy and even tug on the scalp. Avoid heavy products and go for light and moisturizing products that care for your hair and keep it soft.

Take away:

There is no patent solution - your hair is just as individual and special as you ❤️ Test yourself, get to know your curls and adapt your routine to the needs of your hair.
