A woman's hair may go through several styles, colors and lengths during a lifetime because it's the easiest part of the body to alter when a mini makeover is needed. However, as easily as hair can be changed, it can also be damaged just as easily. AP9 GalleriaUSA (http://www.galleriausa-program.com/GalleriaUSA_ResourceCenter.html) suggests finding out what type of hair you have before selecting a shampoo.
There are three basic hair types: normal, dry and oily. Hair can also have additional qualities -- thin, coarse, fine, colored, straight or curly -- that need to be considered when
choosing the right shampoo for you. To make a better-informed decision, AP9 GalleriaUSA suggests shampoos for the most common hair types:
-- Normal Hair. If you have what is considered normal hair, the time and money spent on your hair will be minimal, since normal hair is usually healthy-looking and easy to style. It's not
too dry or too oily, and it hasn't been chemically treated or processed. The best shampoo for normal hair is a clear, gentle shampoo.
-- Dry Hair. There are many reasons why hair becomes dry and can feel and look damaged. Hair can become dry due to color-treating or a lack of conditioning treatments, or because the hair
is coarse and curly. Coarse, curly hair tends to be dry because the oils produced on the scalp don't travel as easily down curly hair shafts as they do with straight hair. Coarse, curly
hair can also tangle easily, looks frizzy and is prone to split ends. The solution for this hair type is to use creamy, moisturizing shampoos that contain ingredients like wheat germ oil,
shea butter and nut oils (macadamia, for example). In addition, dry hair should not be washed every day. Frequent washing dehydrates the hair and makes it frizzier.
-- Oily Hair. This type of hair tends to be limp and flat, difficult to style, and quick to become oily after every wash. People with oily, fine or limp hair should select a clear shampoo
that's gentle, is designed for daily use and contains the body-building ingredient panthenol. Hair experts insist that panthenol penetrates the hair cuticle, making each strand thicker.
Before rinsing more money down the drain trying to find the "right" shampoo, determine your hair type. Ask your stylist or the employee of a local beauty supply store for help in your
selection. In addition, AP9 GalleriaUSA members can log on to Galleria123.com to save up to 20% off beauty and personal care products like shampoo. May every day be a good hair day,
