Shampoos for hair care

Dry Hair: Egg shampoos, shampoos with softeners and protein components are recommended for dry hair. Dry hair needs shampoos which are creamy and not clear, have mild detergents and rich conditioners and hence shampoos which have shea butter or lanolin seem to help manage dry hair better. Herbs like comfrey which is rich in protein when present in shampoos helps to make hair look thicker and smoother.

Oily Hair: Citric juice or malic acid component in shampoos helps manage oily hair better. Other desirable ingredients in shampoos for oily hair are chamomile, tea tree oil and sage oil. Protein and balsam shampoos are not recommended for oily hair as they tend to increase the oiliness. A drop of patchouli essential oil when added to shampoo helps reduce sebum production.

Curly / Coarse Hair: Creamy moisturizing shampoos come highly recommended in the management of curly or coarse hair. Shampoos containing wheat germ oil, shea butter and nut oils such as macadamia nut oil or even coconut oil are good for curly hair. Protein based shampoos and shampoos with silicone or almond oil help detangle and soothe out frizziness.

Fine / Limp Hair: Clear and gentle shampoos are ideal for fine or limp hair. Shampoos containing panthenol are considered the best for fine hair as it helps in making hair strands look thicker. Ingredients such as glycerine or collagen in shampoos help maintain moisture balance. Using clarifying shampoos and shampoos with lesser amount of conditioning agents helps manage fine hair better and makes it look less oily.

Colored/Treated Hair: Colored hair needs to be washed with color protection shampoos that can help preserve the color and retain moisture as well. Moisturizing shampoos with gentle cleansers are advised for permed, relaxed or colored hair. Color enhancing shampoos and shampoos with UV filters help in maintaining the color as well.
