How to choose the right shampoo for your hair for true efficiency?

It is an integral part of the whole family's routine: it is the shampoo. Too often chosen in haste (and quickly applied), we can quickly overlook its composition and simply not use it well. However, we have so much to gain by choosing a clean shampoo that is adapted to our hair type! Spacing out the washes, healthier and shinier hair, better choice for our health and that of the environment ... The benefits are numerous. We also explain in this article, how to use your shampoo.

Shampoo, that daily essential

If there is one product that everyone has in their bathroom, it is shampoo! If its use goes back to the Ancient Egypt, the base did not change so much because, to eliminate the impurities (dust, pollution and sebum mainly), any shampoo is made of a detergent. From now on, it is mainly the great family of the sulphates which sticks there...

The problem is that not all sulfates are equal, some being more irritating than others. Thus in the long run, "ammonium lauryl sulfate" or "sodium laureth sulfate" (the most common), can end up irritating the scalp and cause itching and dandruff in addition to drying out the lengths and ends.

To avoid this, we can turn to a organic or natural shampoo or natural shampoo, a category that favors gentler, environmentally friendly detergents, such as coconut derivatives. Finally, it's best to avoid shampoos containing silicones, a real plastic that envelops and smothers each hair with a plasticized layer: if it gives the illusion that the hair is shinier and stronger, it's just that... an illusion.

Which shampoo for dry hair?

As you can see, at Oh My Cream, we are in favor of clean shampoos that are not only more respectful of your health and the environment, but also more effective in treating certain problems. Typically, if your hair is dry and damaged, using an aloe vera shampoo like the Aloe Vera Hydration Shampoo shampoo like Christophe Robin, or a natural moisturizing shampoo like Hydration Shampoo Rahua, will help repair the hair fiber and nourish the entire hair .

Which shampoo should I use for normal to oily hair?

#seo: growth-stimulating shampoo

For normal hair

Normal hair should avoid using a shampoo shampoo that is too rich, otherwise it will weigh down the hair. Choose a gentle shampoo to moisturize without overloading, like our Gentle Shampoo Oh My Cream Skincarea shampoo that gently cleanses, moisturizes and and restores shine to hair. In case of hair loss or to stimulate growth, it is preferable to opt for a refreshing and stimulating shampoo and stimulating shampoo like the Stimulating & Purifying Shampoo John Masters Organic.

For oily hair

If, on the other hand, your hair tends to re-grease quickly or to develop oily dandruff, use a purifying shampoo with sage, mint or zinc to restore balance. The Rosemary and Peppermint Shampoo John Masters Organic is ideal for fine hair in search of volume. It gently cleanses and purifies the scalp while stimulating growth. And for a detoxifying action in case of weighed down hair, we rely on a cleansing scrub like the Sea Salt Cleansing Scrub Cut By Fred. Used once a week, this hair scrub rids hair of excess products, pollution and sebum, while activating scalp microcirculation for light, revitalized hair.

How often should I use my shampoo?

The frequency of shampooing depends on the nature of your hair and your daily life: you don't wash your hair as much in the country as in the city or by the sea, if you do or don't do sports, if you often wear hats, hoods... In short, it's up to you to determine when you need to shampoo your hair, when the sebum becomes too much present and the hair is as if it were "weighed down" at the roots.

How to (really) use your shampoo and conditioner properly?

To get the most out of your shampoo the effectiveness of your shampooyou just need to do the right things! To begin with, we always take little product : a hazelnut is enough and preferably mixed on the hands (and not directly on the scalp). not directly on the scalp). Then, we spread our shampoo first on the forehead, then the nape of the neck, the top of the head, and we finish with the temples. A little tip If you don't think you have enough shampoo, you can add a little water to start with, which is often enough to avoid adding more.

Delicately, one massages with the end of the fingers (finished the effect with washing machine) the scalp. No need to rub the lengths and ends with shampoo: by rinsing, it will clean them. One passes precisely to the rinsing and for the most reckless, one finishes with a net of water to tighten the scales and make shine. After rinsing, the hair must slide under the fingers. Then we can move on to the use of a conditioner or an hair mask according to its needs.

Be careful, we never use our care products at the roots, otherwise our hair will be weighed down, we stick to the lengths and ends. The only exception may be for frizzy hair, whose scalp is generally dry, which can therefore relieve it. One waits a few minutes then one rinses with large water, by privileging a minimum a water not too hot (and there still ideally, one can finish by a net of cold water). Moreover, if the hair is very dry and damaged, it is also possible to use an oil on the whole hair and to let pose this one from a few minutes to several hours, before rinsing with the shampoo.  

Now you're ready to pick the right shampoo and apply it like a pro! By switching to a natural shampoo and if you have always used silicone-based shampoos, your hair may need time to adapt: silicones are not eliminated in a single wash, and at the first few washes, your hair may feel "heavier" and more greasy. We advise you to really persevere: you will soon find your hair in its natural state and discover how beautiful, shiny and healthy it can be!
