Shampoo Buying Guide

The best shampoo cleans dirt and oil from your hair and scalp. It is important that the shampoo has good cleaning power, but they can be harsher to hair than other shampoos. The best shampoo is formulated with gentle ingredients. Gentleness is important for cleansing without drying out and irritating your hair and scalp. In addition, the best shampoo has pleasant smell. There may be personal preferences, so reading reviews can give you an idea what type of aroma it has and how strong it is.

Before you buy, it is good to know your hair and scalp type: fine, limp, dry, normal, or oily. The shampoo for all hair type may be a good choice if you are not sure. For oily, fine and thin hair, you may opt for a volumizing shampoo to add some elasticity to your hair. For dry, damaged, sensitive hair and scalp, you might want to consider a moisturizing shampoo with ingredients like plant oils to coat the hair shaft and keep moisture in. It is also good to know your frequency of shampooing. Some shampoos are too harsh to use daily and are designed for every other day use. It does not mean you cannot use them as needed. If you shampoo quite often, then consider the shampoo with gentle formula.

It is important to know how delicate your scalp is to prevent from being irritated or having allergic reaction from the product. If your scalp is sensitive, pick the shampoo that is free of fragrance. You can also try to avoid the common irritants in shampoo such as methylisothiazolinone, methylchloroisothiazolinone, and benzisothiazoline.

If you have color treated hair, do not know if you have sensitive scalps or hair and do not want to take a risk, then look for gentle, sulfate free shampoo, a baby shampoo. Look for shampoo labeled as “cruelty free” if you prefer the shampoo that are tested in ways that do not involve animals.
