How to Choose a Shampoo

Shampoo not only washes your hair, it keeps it healthy and strong. Make sure you're
using the best shampoo for your hair type.

Instructions

• STEP 1: Identify your hair type. Is it oily? Normal? Consult your hairdresser if
necessary.
• STEP 2: Feel lucky if you have normal hair. Choose a shampoo that is made
specifically for normal hair, and make sure it's meant for daily or every-other-day
washes.
• STEP 3: Choose a gentle shampoo that is made specifically for oily hair and/or
for daily use, if your hair gets greasy. Make sure it has ingredients like tea tree oil,
sage oil and chamomile.
• STEP 4: Opt for a moisturizing shampoo for curly hair, and a protein-based
shampoo for kinky hair.
• STEP 5: Read the label on a protein-based shampoo and make sure that protein is
listed as one of the first ingredients, followed by shea butter, glycerin, sulfur or
carotene.
• STEP 6: Use a color-safe shampoo and conditioner every day for hair that's been
dyed, bleached or highlighted.
