How to Choose a Shampoo

If you are trying to choose a shampoo, look for one that is designed specifically for your hair type.  Also, look for a mild shampoo if hair is damaged, and consider an all-natural cleanser to keep sensitive skin healthy.  Look for a medicated shampoo as well, if you have dandruff or other scalp problems. 

• Purchase a shampoo that is formulated for your hair type.  Varieties can be found for oily hair, dry hair, thin hair, and frizzy hair.  Shampoo for your hair type provides proper cleansing and treatment.  This is important especially if you wish to improve the condition of your hair.


• If your hair is colored or chemically treated look for a shampoo that is labeled for this.  This provides mild cleaning to keep treated hair healthy.  Also, these shampoos help keep color vibrant and shiny.  Ask your hair stylist for the best shampoo for your hair if you are unsure which one is best.


• Choose a mild shampoo if hair is brittle or damaged.  This allows you to wash your hair without breaking it further.  Also, look for shampoos that contain essential oils to help condition hair and repair damage.


• Look for all natural and organic shampoos if you have sensitive skin.  These brands are chemical and dye free which reduces allergic reactions.  Look for hypoallergenic and fragrance free brands as well, to keep skin and hair healthy.


• Purchase a medicated shampoo if you have psoriasis or dandruff.  These shampoos help heal the scalp and prevent itchy, dry, and flaking skin.  Look for a shampoo that is designed for your specific affliction for proper treatment.
