CHOOSING THE RIGHT SHAMPOO GUIDE

Hopefully, this guide will be of great help to you when seeking a really good shampoo for your hair. It is very important that we are sourcing the correct shampoo and one that is sulfate free for our natural hair.  It is less harsh and drying to our hair. Shampoos are designed to cleanse our hair from all that radical buildup of dirt that sits on the scalp of our hair. You will find that our hair texture and hair density is completely different from everyone else, so what one person may recommend works well in their hair, it may not have that same effect in your own hair.

THINGS TO CONSIDER

1. CLARIFYING SHAMPOOS

When seeking shampoo for your hair you need to distinguish whether your hair is prone to product build up very quickly, you will find that you will need to clarify your hair on a weekly basis to ensure that your scalp is kept clean at all times. You will need to select a clarifying shampoo.

2. SHAMPOOS FOR COLOURED HAIR

You need to consider them if your hair is colored as you will want to ensure that you color last and does not fade quickly when your hair is being cleansed.  So you will need to seek shampoo's designed for colored hair.

3. VOLUMISING SHAMPOOS

You may have thin or fine hair and so your hair is lacking body if this is the case for most of you, then I would recommend that you seek volumising shampoos to provide your hair with volume.

4. MOISTURISING & CO WASH SHAMPOOS

If you workout on a regular basis, then you may find that you don't want to keep washing your hair frequently, so you may opt for a moisturizing shampoo or a co-wash shampoo that will cleanse your hair without stripping your hair from its natural moisture. Co-Washing will keep your hair refreshed until your wash day.
