How to Choose the Correct Shampoo and Conditioner

Choose Shampoo ConditionerWith so many brands of shampoo and conditioner in the market, finding the correct product for our hair can be a bit confusing. Basically, shampoo is meant to remove dirt and oil build ups from our hair and scalp, but using the wrong shampoo can make you end up with coarse, dry hair.

Before deciding to buy shampoo and conditioner, you need to know the type of your hair and determine the best product for it. Here are general clues for you in finding the most correct shampoo and conditioner for your hair type.

1. Coarse, curly hair

Curly hair tends to be dryer than straight hair, because the natural oil produced in the scalp does not travel as easy as on straight hair. The best shampoo for this kind of hair is the creamy one, with ingredients such as shea butter, germ oil, milk, or nut oil. They tend to coat the hair shaft and trapping the water inside. Women with ultra dry hair must use conditioner every after shampooing. Look for an ultra-moisturizing conditioner made especially for coarse hair. For extra-dry hair, use an intense moisturizing treatment every 2 weeks.

2. Fine, oily, or limp hair

Fine hair is in this group because it is susceptible to become oily or limp. Choose the clear shampoo instead of the creamy one, and with mild formula that is made for daily or frequent washing. For limp-haired women, conditioner is not always necessary, but it is good for combing out fine hair as long as it does not touch the scalp. If you have extremely greasy hair, look for the oil-absorbing tea-tree oil in your conditioner.

3. Dry, damaged hair

Go straight for the creamy shampoo and avoid the clear one; it smoothens, detangles, and diffuses static. For conditioner, the ultra-moisturizing product is a must.

4. Processed hair

Adding moisture is the key for colored and relaxed hair. Unfortunately, overly processed hair can suffer from oily roots but dry shaft and ends. Therefore, washing processed hair can be tricky business. You want to cleanse the roots while moisturizing the ends. We suggest washing hair every other day with a shampoo made for normal hair. Concentrate on cleaning the scalp. Then use a strong conditioner only on the mid-shaft to ends of hair.
