Have you tried countless oils and creams without getting the results you hoped for?
The secret often lies in one simple mistake, not knowing your hair type and choosing products that don’t match it.
What works for your friend might not work for you, because every hair type has its own unique needs.

At Avrelle Cosmetics, a leader in professional hair care, we believe that beautiful hair starts with understanding its true nature.
That’s why we’ve created this comprehensive guide to help you answer the key question: “How do I know my hair type and the best oils for it?”

We’ll take you on a simple and enjoyable journey to identify your hair type, understand its characteristics, and discover the perfect natural oils that will nourish and revive your strands, giving your hair the shine and vitality it deserves.

Step 1: Identify Your Hair Type Simple Tests, Accurate Results

Before choosing the right oils, you first need to determine your hair type.
Here are three easy tests you can do at home:

1. The Porosity Test

Hair porosity refers to its ability to absorb and retain moisture.

• High porosity: absorbs moisture quickly but loses it just as fast.

• Low porosity: resists moisture but retains it for longer.

• Medium porosity: absorbs and retains moisture in balance.

How to test:
Take a clean, dry strand of hair and place it in a glass of water.

• If it floats, your hair has low porosity

• If it sinks slowly and stays in the middle, it has medium porosity.

• If it sinks quickly to the bottom, it has high porosity.

2. The Texture Test

This test measures the thickness of each hair strand.

• Fine hair: strands are thin and barely felt between your fingers.

• Medium hair: strands are noticeable but not coarse.

• Thick hair: strands are strong and easily felt to the touch.

3. The Oiliness Test

This test focuses on your scalp’s natural oil production.

• Oily hair: becomes greasy within 24 hours after washing.

• Dry hair: remains dry for more than 48 hours.

• Normal/combination hair: starts to get oily after two to three days.

Step 2: The Best Oils for Each Hair Type

Natural oils are a true treasure for your hair, but using the wrong one can do more harm than good, Here’s a guide to the best oils for each hair type, along with Avrelle’s expert formulas that combine science, nature, and care.
