What Shampoo Should You Really Be Using? Let’s Talk!

I still remember my first “serious” hair disaster. I was in college, and I thought switching shampoos was no big deal. I grabbed the prettiest bottle off the shelf, lured in by its fragrance and glossy packaging. The first wash felt heavenly… but by the third? My hair was brittle, my scalp itchy, and I couldn’t understand why my once-bouncy strands looked so dull.

That’s when I learned the hard truth: not all shampoos are the same and not every shampoo is meant for your hair type.

So, what shampoo should you be using?

It starts with one simple question: What does your hair need right now?

• If your scalp feels oily: Go for a clarifying shampoo once a week to cut through buildup without stripping away all the natural oils.

• If your hair is dry or brittle: Reach for a moisturizing shampoo with nourishing ingredients like shea butter, argan oil, or aloe vera.

• If you wear wigs or braids often: A residue-free, sulfate-free shampoo is your best friend. It cleans gently without damaging your protective style.

• If your hair is color-treated or relaxed: Look for color-safe shampoos that protect your strands and keep them vibrant longer.

• If dandruff keeps visiting uninvited: Choose a scalp-soothing, anti-dandruff shampoo that balances rather than burns.

Think of shampoo like a tailored outfit—it’s not one-size-fits-all. The right one should leave your hair refreshed, your scalp comfortable, and your crown flourishing.
