Find the best shampoo for your hair type
You can’t build a great look without the right foundation. And that
healthy (i.e. shiny, long and gorgeous) base starts with the right
shampoo. But shampoos and conditioners are not all created equal -- they
all have different levels of active ingredients designed to target
specific hair issues depending on your hair type. Getting gorgeous hair
is all about choosing the right shampoo – here’s our guide to figuring
out the perfect shampoo for your do.
What’s the Best Shampoo for Your Hair Type?
Got Fine, Flat hair?
Fine hair has up to 50% less protein than thicker hair, so it
struggles to stand up against the weight of styling residue, dirt and
excess oils. The result? Hair becomes limp and lifeless. Start with a
daily volumizing shampoo that is designed to remove excess residue and
leave hair squeaky clean. The clear formulation skips the heavy
moisturizers so you can get that bouncy, light hair with a thicker,
fuller look.
Tackling Thick, Frizzy Tresses?
Thick hair can easily become big and frizzy, so a moisturizing or
smoothing shampoo to help tame it is essential. Be generous on the
amount of shampoo you use; oftentimes, thicker hair isn’t washed as
frequently as fine hair and may need more shampoo to be cleaned.
Controlling Curly, Dry hair?
Curly hair can be a challenge, especially because curl patterns are
unique. These curl patterns often block naturally moisturizing scalp
oils from making it all the way down the hair shaft, making curly girls
prone to more breakage and dryness. Moisturizing shampoos designed for
curly hair will help detangle strands and provide protection for wet
hair that minimizes breakage. Also, remember to baby those curls by
gently massaging your scalp. Then, work shampoo to the ends, and rinse
thoroughly.
Love to Color or Highlight Hair?
Shampoos specifically designed for color-treated hair help fill in
the protective lipid layer that’s lost when coloring. Reinforcing this
protective layer minimizes the amount of water that penetrates hair,
helping to keep the color locked inside, so it can stay intense and
beautiful. Using a system is important, too—shampoo for color-treated
hair is very moisturizing, so pair it with the same type of conditioner,
which is designed to provide enough—but not too much—conditioner.
