Think very carefully about the goods you use
In other words, don’t choose your products based just on how they smell.
Choose the best shampoo for your type of hair
You could wind up doing more harm to your hair than good if you choose the wrong shampoo.
- Use a light clarifying shampoo if your hair is fine, or if you can hardly see or feel a single strand between your fingertips.
- Look for something hydrating if you have thick or coarse hair.
- If you have colored hair, seek for a product that is color-safe and won’t wash your hair dye [1] out every time.
- Look for a clarifying shampoo for bleached hair to avoid unwelcome yellow tones.
Unsure about the type of hair you have? Always feel free to seek stylist guidance.
Here’s a little tip that can be useful: Roll a single hair strand between the tips of your thumb and index finger. You have fine hair if you can hardly feel it or see it.
You should generally stay away from shampoos that contain sulfates and silicones regardless of the type of hair you have. These components may make your shampoo foam up and leave your hair feeling clean, but over time, they may dry out your hair. These substances deplete the natural oils [2] in your hair, making it more fragile and lifeless-looking.
This is particularly true if you have thin, dry, or prone to breakage hair.
