To maintain virgin hair is expensive and has to be taken seriously. Treating virgin hair is not a common goal. However, life can get the best of your hair, whether due to aging, lifestyle habits, or poor hair care techniques, many things can damage your already delicate hair cuticles.
Understanding your hair type is important before trying any home remedies. Dry, coarse hair can certainly use some extra TLC, but straight hair may not need as much oil compared with curly hair. This is because natural oils from the scalp move easier through the cuticle the straighter your hair is.
Although you may know your hair type now, it can change as you get older because of a decrease in natural oil production. Your hair might also be different based on the climate you live in and what season it is.
