We have all done it stood in the store, staring at the shelves ooohhh the shelves of products, wondering, ”what in the world should I be looking for in a shampoo and conditioner, why are there so many products?” Look at the pretty ones .... Lol.
You probably aren’t alone, no you aren't alone.
It’s a never-ending cycle of new products, specialty products, products that make different claims, more simple products, products that would take a mastermind to figure out etc.
These are a few tips to consider when shopping for shampoo and conditioner.
I hope these tips serve you well.
1. Your shampoo and conditioner is very, important. It’s how you prep your hair for styling, and what can maintain health and strength in your hair. I would argue that it’s one of the most important products you can use on your hair.
2. Consider what your stylist recommends most are in the know. Your stylist probably has more than just you as a client, and has seen plenty of different hair textures, colors, wave patterns, etc., and he/she should be able to recommend a good set based on your hair. Trust her judgement.
3. Know your hair. Does it feel like straw, does it break? Does the color fade quicker than normal? Are your ends extremely knotty and your roots oily? Diagnosing any hair issues can help you narrow down where to begin the search.
4. Don’t feel locked in to matching the shampoo with conditioner. For a long time, I have been shampooing with a volumizing shampoo and conditioned with a hydrating conditioner. I wanted lift in my hair, but needed the moisture. Mix and match based on your needs.
