Three things to consider when buying shampoo
- Coloured, dry or damaged hair: Brittle hair may need some extra TLC. Choose a shampoo that nourishes, hydrates and revitalises. If you have bleached hair, we also recommend a silver shampoo to keep your blonde cool for longer.
- Oily hair: It’s frustrating when your hair looks lank again soon after you’ve washed it. One reason may be that your shampoo is too cleansing and dries out your scalp, which responds by producing even more oil. Invest in a shampoo that calms sebum production and nourishes your hair.
- Sensitive scalp: Choose mild products if your scalp is prone to itching and flaking. Here you’ll find products specially designed for your hair type.
- Curly hair: Choose a shampoo with plenty of moisture to keep your curls looking great. Here you’ll find deeply hydrating shampoos
- Fine hair: Fine hair can be revitalised by a volumising shampoo that doesn’t weigh it down.
If you also have problems with hair loss, there are special shampoos that stimulate hair growth.
- Shampoo bar. If you want a small shampoo that’s easy to pack in your bag, we recommend a shampoo bar. Shampoo bars are also plastic free, which is better for our planet.
- Spray. A dry shampoo spray is a handy and quick way to refresh your style without needing water. It’s particularly suitable if you exercise and don’t want to wet your hair too often.
- Pump bottle. One benefit of liquid shampoo is that it lasts the longest. If you’ve already found your favourite shampoo, we recommend you buy it in a litre pack with pump– it’s both easier to dose and lasts a long time.
If you’re sensitive to smells, there are many options that won’t trigger an allergic reaction. Look for perfume-free shampoos.

FAQ
Shampoo is used to remove oil and dirt from your scalp, the stuff that makes your hair dirty. It usually takes the form of a viscous liquid, but can come in the form of a bar as well. Depending on the formula, shampoos often work to give you har a particular look or feel, whether it be smooth, voluminous or hydrated.
There are a couple of things that are important to know to be able to find the right shampoo:
- Dry scalp: If your head often feels a bit itchy or tight, you have a dry scalp. An anti-dandruff or sulfate-free shampoo should do the trick for you.
- Oily scalp: Hair that often looks shiny, most likely is attached to an oily scalp. Find a shampoo that is silicone free and focuses on stabilising your scalp’s oiliness.
- Combination scalp: If your hair gets dirty two or three days after washing it with shampoo versus the day after, you’ve got a combination scalp. Most shampoos work a treat on combination scalps, so get testing and see which smell, style and result you like the best. The shampoo world is your (very nice smelling) oyster.
There are shampoos created for every hair type under the sun. Here are a couple of pointers on shampoo and hair types:
- Coloured/Damaged/Brittle hair: Strengthening and fortifying shampoo is best for hair that’s been exposed to chemicals or is generally brittle. Look for ones containing keratin, a protein that your hair just loves.
- Straight hair: Find a shampoo that is rich in moisture, which helps your straight hair look slick and smooth.
- Fine hair: Look for volumising shampoos that add extra life to your hair, without weighing it down.
- Textured hair: Use a shampoo that focuses on maintaining, refilling and locking in moisture. You can never get enough moisture.
While there’s no single answer to how often you should wash your hair, it’s recommended to do it two to three times a week. If your hair looks oily, your scalp feels itchy or it’s flakey due to dirt, those are good signs it’s time to get the shampoo out and start lathering.
While there are loads of good ingredients in shampoo that help to improve your hair’s health here are a couple that do the opposite and that you should be cautious of:
- Sulfates: They’re a harsh cleaning agent that can make your scalp itchy and dry.
- Silicones: Because they are heavy by nature, silicones have a tendency to weigh your hair down
- Alcohol: It’s tough on your hair and your scalp, drying them out and possibly causing breakage and itchiness.
