There are hundreds of shampoo's out there, from the Suave you can
purchase at the local pharmacy to designer shampoo's like Kerastas and
Philip B. that can only be purchased from speciality salons and
stores. How do you choose?
First, know your hair type. It's fairly easy to know what type of
shampoo your hair needs if it's permed or colored. If your hair is
permed then most likely you're seeing a stylist on a regular basis and
he or she has suggested a product for you. If your hair is colored you
will want a shampoo that will be gentle on the color and not strip it
from your hair. Is your hair dry? Oily? Thin or full and coarse?
What affect do you want the shampoo to have on your hair? Be aware of
claims made by shampoo manufacturers. The only thing regulated by the
Food & Drug Administration is the list of ingredients on the back of
the shampoo bottle. This means that manufacturers can claim their
shampoos moisturize or add volume whether or not they do.
Herbs and botanicals smell great, but their affect on the hair has
never been proven. Actually most shampoos and conditioners affect your
hair only temporarily by leaving product behind on your hair after you
wash. They have no long term effect on the condition of your hair at
all.
Don't believe that you have to use one manufacturers entire hair
product line. It's the same for skin care products. All shampoos clean
the hair. All soaps clean the face. All conditioners
