What are the different types of shampoos?

There are many types of hair shampoo, each designed to cater to different hair and scalp needs. Some of the most common include:

  • Moisturising shampoos: formulated for dry or damaged hair, these shampoos help hydrate and restore moisture balance.

  • Volumising shampoos: lightweight formulas designed to add body and lift, ideal for fine or limp hair.

  • Clarifying shampoos: deep-cleaning formulas that remove product buildup and excess oil, typically used once a week.

  • Anti-dandruff shampoos: contain active ingredients to help manage flakes and soothe the scalp.

  • Sensitive scalp shampoos: free from harsh ingredients, these shampoos are gentle on the scalp and suitable for delicate hair.

  • Colour-safe shampoos: sulphate-free formulas that help maintain the vibrancy of coloured or chemically treated hair.

Choosing the right hair shampoo depends on your hair type, scalp condition and personal preferences.

How do you choose the right shampoo for your hair?

Finding the best shampoo for your hair starts with understanding your specific needs:

  • Dry or damaged hair: look for hydrating ingredients like aloe vera, coconut oil or shea butter.

  • Oily scalp: a lightweight, balancing shampoo can help regulate oil production without over-drying.

  • Curly or textured hair: sulphate-free, curl-enhancing shampoos help maintain natural texture and reduce frizz.

  • Sensitive scalp: fragrance-free or hypoallergenic formulas can minimise irritation.

If you’re unsure, experimenting with different options or consulting a hair care professional can help you find the best match.

Can shampoo be used every day?

Yes, shampoo can be used daily, depending on your hair type and lifestyle. A recent study suggests that frequent washing—up to five or six times a week—can contribute to better scalp and hair satisfaction without causing damage. However, those with dry or curly hair may prefer washing less often to retain natural oils. If you wash daily, choosing a gentle, sulphate-free shampoo can help maintain scalp health.

How much shampoo do you need for your hair?

The amount of shampoo you use may significantly affect how well your hair is cleansed without stripping away essential oils. Here’s a general guide:

  • Short hair or fine hair: a small, coin-sized amount (about the size of a 10-cent piece) is typically enough for an effective cleanse.

  • Medium-length hair: use about a 20-cent-sized amount, depending on hair density.

  • Long or thick hair: a little more may be needed, but avoid overloading, as excess shampoo can leave residue and may strip natural oils.

Remember, it’s more about how you use the shampoo than the quantity. Ensure you lather it well with water to distribute it evenly across your scalp and hair.
