The ideal Shampoo and Conditioner for your hair type

The ideal Shampoo and Conditioner for your hair type

Regardless of how you style your hair, hair health starts in the shower. The right shampoo and conditioner formulation for your particular hair type will help you get the most out of its natural texture.

From dyed and curly to dry and dull (and everything in between), here are some perfect recommendations for you. 

Dry or damaged hair

Shampoo

First of all, avoid anti-dandruff shampoos if you have dry or damaged hair - they won't provide the rich hydration your hair desperately needs!

Look for rich shampoos that contain excellent conditioning ingredients like keratin and argan oil. 

Conditioner

Use a moisturizing conditioner from root to tip, concentrating most of it at the ends (the scalp should receive the least amount of product).

Look for conditioners with ingredients such as proteins and botanical actives that repair, restore and strengthen your hair's keratin structure.

Shampoo for Fine Hair

Shampoo

Be wary of gentle shampoos that are packed with thickening ingredients like panthenol and advanced polymers for increased volume. Make sure the formula contains one of these hair-protecting extracts: moringa seed, artichoke leaf and golden root.

They will help protect your hair from environmental conditions as well.

Conditioner

Stay away from conditioner that weighs hair down - too much can make hair look and feel greasy. Instead, find lightweight formulas with botanical extracts that penetrate the hair and apply from your mid shaft to the ends.

Curly, wavy or thick hair

Shampoo

Look for rich shampoos with nourishing herbal extracts and anti-frizz ingredients. You don't need to wash your hair every day, you can skip a day or two so the natural oils on your head can work their magic.

Conditioner

Curly, wavy or thick hair will work best with conditioners containing natural oils and plant extracts, which gently coat the hair and reduce frizz. Ingredients like hazelnut and nettle soften and balance your hair's hydration levels without breaking ends.

Dry/unmanageable hair 

Shampoo

For drier hair types, it's best to use super moisturizing and creamy shampoos. Avocado oil and alkekengi extract lock in moisture and protect against damage, increasing manageability and softness.

Conditioner

Since this hair type can become extremely dry, you'll want to have an extra moisturizing conditioner. Deep conditioners containing essential oils, and moisturizing beeswax will hydrate your hair and help smooth hold.

Color-treated hair

Shampoo

If your hair has been color treated, you'll need a shampoo that keeps it as vibrant as possible. Use mild cleansers that won't discolor the color and seal in moisture.

Conditioner

Use a color-preserving conditioner with sulfate-free and paraben-free formulas to prevent fading, protect against discoloration, and maintain essential moisture.

Ensure ingredients such as rice extract and hibiscus extract help to soften, moisturize and restore shine.

Dull hair

Shampoo

If you feel that your hair has lost its shine go for shampoos with citrus pulp and glutamic acid that restore radiance by clearing excess sebum and styling products.

Conditioner

Use a conditioner packed with shine-boosting ingredients and conditioning proteins to revitalize and strengthen hair from environmental stressors.

Look out for ingredients such as silk amino acids, pearl proteins and sunflower seed extracts, which help give your hair shine.

Hair aging

Shampoo

Hair weakens over time, so make sure you gently cleanse with an antioxidant formula that strengthens and thickens hair.

Shampoo with a silicone-free shampoo that contains strengthening olive extract to balance the scalp and strengthen your hair structure.

Conditioner

Sometimes all your hair needs a super-moisturizing conditioner to restore youthfulappearance, shine and softness. Use formulas infused with rich oils like maracuja and argan, which seal the hair, help reduce split ends and protect against the damage caused by aging hair from UV radiation.
