Walking into a store and choosing something to wash your hair with seems simple enough. If you have healthy hair that never gives you any problems, this may in fact be a simple task that you do not have to put much thought into. However, if you are like most people, women especially, you have hair that tends to be dry, frizzy, and prone to damage. The right shampoo products can make a difference in how your hair looks and feels, but it may not be able to do as much as you think. Keep a few things in mind when choosing the right shampoo for you.
First, know that there are no ingredients in shampoo products that can actually heal your hair that has already broken or split. There are some that can smooth hair down so the damage is less apparent, but nothing can fix hair that is already split. The only true fix for that is a pair of shears. This why it is recommended to that you get a trim at least every six weeks. After that, normal wear and tear on the best of hair is going to show up and no shampoo products are going to help with that.
Otherwise, shampoo products could help you avoid some of those splits and breaks in your hair, but not all. You want to find something that is made for your hair type and also for what you do to your hair. If you have thin hair, you need a shampoo that is not going to leave heavy deposits on your hair. This will make your hair look greasy and flat. On the other hand, if you have naturally dry hair, you want something that is going got give you extra moisturizer to help it stay healthy. A leave in conditioner maybe a good idea in this case.
If you have hair that has been processed, there are great shampoo products out there as well. These are made to provide extra care for your hair, but also remember that these can only do so much. If you are always coloring your hair, or getting it permed or straightened, this type of shampoo products can help, but the damage is still going to be done. If you process your hair a lot, you have to get more frequent trims and use the right type of products. You may also have to learn to live with the damage if nothing seems to help, or cut back on what you do to your hair.
The best hair is hair that is never touched by heat or chemical, but people that use neither are few and far between. Remember that though there are tons of different shampoo products on the market, most are similar and will help you clean and care for your hair. Salon brands are pricy, but do tend to have more of the right ingredients in them. You don't have to use them if you don't want to though, as long as you take good care of your hair otherwise. Use what you like and move on if you don't like something. You will soon enough find the right shampoo and conditioner for your hair type.
