Understanding Your Skin and Hair Types

To create effective DIY beauty products, it's important to understand your skin and hair. Skin and hair types can vary greatly from person to person, and it's important to choose ingredients and formulations that work best for your individual needs.

Skin Types

Skin types are generally classified as:

• Oily: tends to produce excess sebum, resulting in a shiny complexion and often leading to acne.
• Dry: lacks moisture and tends to be flaky.
• Normal: well-balanced and not prone to any particular issues.
• Combination: a mix of oily and dry areas, often with an oily T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin) and dry cheeks.

Hair Types

Hair types can also vary, with common classifications including:

• Straight
• Wavy
• Curly
• Coily

It's important to consider factors such as hair thickness, porosity, and elasticity when choosing ingredients and formulations for hair products. For example, those with fine hair may benefit from lightweight, volumizing ingredients, while those with thick or curly hair may need more moisture to combat frizz.

By understanding your skin and hair type, you can choose ingredients and formulations that will best suit your individual needs and help you achieve the results you're looking for in your DIY beauty products. It may take some trial and error to find the perfect combination for you, but experimenting with different ingredients and formulations can be part of the fun of DIY beauty!
