We get a lot of tips and tricks from television and magazines about what products to use for our hair, but do we ever think if the product we’re using is right for our hair?

If you want beautiful, healthy hair you also have to be hair conscious. That means knowing your hair inside and out. Here are some questions you should ask yourself in order to get to know your hair better.

Is it thick? Is it thin? Whispy? Straight? Curly? Damaged? And you can keep going with a million questions. The important thing you need to know is what products to use for your hair and when.

Use lighter products like mousses, gels, or root lifting sprays, on fine hair. You want products that will add volume without weighing your hair down. Heavier hair creams and liquids work best on thick hair. They will add control without making hair look stiff or frozen in place. Silicone products are the perfect solution for frizzy hair.
