The Struggle of Finding the Right Shampoo
Buying shampoo can be a confusing endeavor. Hydrating, strengthening, smoothing, color-safe, thickening—how do you match the lingo on the bottle with the hair on your head? We're scratching our heads right there with you.
The issue is not just finding the right shampoo, the transition through these chemical shampoos that we have to go through every time we try a new shampoo can be very damaging on our hair and scalp. Not only do regular hair care brands use many different types of chemicals, silicone and more, but the combination of all of these chemicals can cause irreversible damage. That being said, finding the right one can make you feel like you've hit the hair jackpot. And, it doesn't have to be a head game if you know what you are looking for,
You have to learn how to find the best shampoo for your hair type. It all starts with a very simple step of knowing what kind of scalp you have.
Define Your Scalp Type
"What's the best shampoo for me?" is something all beauty junkies ask themselves (after all, healthy-looking hair starts with the first thing you put on it). While you might think of shampoo strictly as a hair cleansing agent, it's equally important to consider your scalp when choosing a shampoo. "Shampoos all have different cleansing capabilities; therefore, it's important to identify your scalp type before choosing one," Oshini explains. "By design, shampoo is meant to cleanse your roots more than any other part of your hair, so if you're prone to oily roots, for example, you may need a less moisturizing and deeper cleansing shampoo." And on the flip side, if you have a dryer or a more tight scalp, you likely need something more moisturizing.
Here's how to tell what your scalp type is. "A scalp that feels tight after washing (or just by itself) or a scalp that is itchy (with or without flakes) are signs that you may have a dry scalp," says Oshini, "An oily scalp, on the other hand, may be shinier, and someone with an oily scalp and dandruff can have flakes that appear clumped together." Finally, there's combination scalp, which refers to a scalp that's neither dry nor oily. You'll know if your scalp is combo if it gets oily two to three days after shampooing versus the day after. (Consider yourself lucky if that's you).
Think of it this way: shampoo is for your scalp and roots, while conditioner is for the ends of your hair. If your scalp is oily and your ends are dry (a common combination), then you should choose a shampoo that is best suited for an oily scalp and leave the moisturizing up to your conditioner, which should be applied only to your dried ends.
