Choosing the right shampoo seems simple, but it can make a big difference to the health, shine, and manageability of your hair. The best shampoo depends on your hair type, scalp, and specific needs. In this blog, we will explain step by step how to make the right choice.
Start with your scalp and not your hair
Many people choose shampoo based on their hair type or structure. However, scientifically, it is more important to look at your scalp.
Why?
The scalp is where:
-
sebum is produced
-
product residue accumulates
-
irritation can occur
--> Do you have an oily scalp? Then you need a clarifying shampoo. --> Do you have a dry or sensitive scalp? Then choose a mild, hydrating formula.
Choose based on your hair type
Straight hair
-
Often gets greasier faster.
-
Can benefit from a light clarifying shampoo.
-
Avoid heavy, oily formulas.
Look for:volume or balancing shampoos, Spa Fresh Volume or Sebum Regulator Shampoo.
Wavy hair
-
Needs a balance between hydration and cleansing.
-
Too much moisture can make hair heavy.
Look for: a mild, hydrating shampoo like Daily Care Shampoo.
Curly hair
Curls naturally have more difficulty transporting natural oils from the scalp to the ends. As a result, they are often drier.
Look for:
-
Nourishing shampoo with added oil
-
moisturising ingredients (such as glycerine)
-
formulas without drying alcohol --> Argan Oil Shampoo
Thick or coarse hair
-
Often needs more nourishment.
-
Responds well to rich, conditioning shampoos.
Look for: nourishing or “repair” shampoos. Daily Care or Argan Oil Shampoo in combination with the Repair Treatment Conditioner is ideal for this.
Fine hair
-
Quickly becomes limp or greasy.
- Products that are too heavy make it lifeless.
Consider special needs
Colored hair
Use a shampoo that:
-
protects colour
-
contains mild cleansers
-
has a low pH (helps close hair cuticles)
Damaged hair
Look for ingredients like:
-
proteins (e.g. keratin)
-
hydrating ingredients
-
restorative formulas
Also choose Argan Oil Shampoo. Add Repair Treatment Conditioner and the Intense Treatment Mask to your hair routine for even more care.
Sensitive scalp
-
Avoid strong sulfates.
-
Choose fragrance-free or dermatologically tested products.
Choose Neutrea Plus or Scalp Protect Shampoo
Test and observe
After choosing a shampoo:
-
Pay attention to how your hair feels after washing.
-
Does it get greasy faster?
-
Does it feel rough or heavy?
-
Does the shine change?
Sometimes you have to try a few options before finding the perfect match.
Investigate and look closely at your own scalp and hair. Their combined properties determine your best choice. There is no “best shampoo for everyone”. The best shampoo is the one that keeps your hair in balance. Curious about our shampoos? You can find them here.
