5 signs that you're using the wrong shampoo

The shampoo you're using may be too aggressive: check its cleansing base first.to start with. If, in the first line of its composition, you detect the gentle name "ammonium lauryl sulfate" or "sodium laureth sulfate", it's best to stop using it. Instead, opt for more respectful surfactants such as "sodium cocoyl isethionate" or "sodium coco sulfate", directly derived from coconut especially for very dry scalps or frizzy hair, which is by nature very fragile.

Another possible cause of itching: ancillary hair products or leave-in care products such as styling lacquers and dry shampoos leave itchy residues at the roots of the hair if they are not properly removed during washing and, above all, if they are not formulated cleanly. If, despite everything, itching persists and is accompanied by small red patches, it's best to visit your dermatologist to make sure it's not the start of eczema and, in the meantime, to choose a very mild shampoo with a simple composition.

Wouldn't you have switched to a natural shampoo? Depending on hair type, the absence of silicones can either cause excess sebum, as we've seen, or make hair dull and, above all, very dry! When silicones are progressively eliminated, we discover the true nature of our hair and, as a bonus, the damage that was well hidden under the thick layer of silicones... Damaged hair, very dry lengths and lack of shine, the hair fiber has seen it all. You can then switch to a gentler, richer shampoo based on natural active ingredients, always banning silicones.

For dry and/or curly hair: Le Nourishing Bamboo Pith Cream Shampoo Leonor Greyl is the ideal shampoo for thick, lathered hair. It gently cleanses and nourishes thick, dry or curly hair, while adding shine. What's more,
contains bamboo marrow extract to nourish and smooth hair fibers, while its conditioning action eliminates the need for conditioner. 

For fine hair in need of volume: Le Voluminous Shampoo Shampoing Volumateur Rahua has a cult following. Its purifying and fortifying cocktail of lemongrass, green tea and aloe vera leaves hair silky and offers incredible shine, despite the absence of silicones. Finally, eucalyptus essential oil provides an invigorating sensation of freshness.

For color-treated hair: Le Shield Shampoo colour Christophe Robin. Successive bleaching and/or coloring never leaves our manes unscathed: hair becomes brittle and porous, even elastic. This specific shampoo is a must for blond hair, thanks to its acidic pH which tightens the scales to better fix the pigments at the heart of the fiber! And because it's so acidic, don't skip the conditioner, for soft, repaired hair. And that pleasant wheat germ fragrance...

For normal hair: Le Gentle Shampoo Oh My Cream Skincare is the ultimate all-purpose shampoo, perfect for everyday use! Thanks to its natural cleansing base derived from coconut, it cleanses gently. Its sage and rosemary extracts purify the scalp and optimize growth, while aloe vera leaves hair moisturized and light.
