IMPORTANCE OF FINDING THE RIGHT SHAMPOO
Choosing the right shampoo is akin to finding the perfect outfit – it should fit you well, compliment your features, and make you feel good about yourself. The right shampoo not only cleanses your hair but also nourishes it, maintains the health of your scalp and can even tackle specific concerns like dandruff, oiliness, damage and colour protection. Learn how to find the right shampoo for your hair and give it the tender love and care it deserves.
SHAMPOO FOR DIFFERENT HAIR TYPES
Understanding scalp and hair type is the first step towards creating a tailored hair care routine. Just like there is a different facial cleanser for every skin type, all hair types have unique needs and need different shampoos. Let us explore different shampoos for different hair types along with a few expert recommendations.
- DAMAGED HAIR
- OILY HAIR
- BREAKAGE-PRONE HAIR
- FRIZZY HAIR
- DANDRUFF-PRONE HAIR
- COLOUR-TREATED HAIR
If your hair often feels rough and looks dull, you likely have dry and damaged hair. An ideal shampoo for this hair type should provide intense moisture and hydration. We recommend using the Acidic Bonding Concentrate Shampoo that is perfect for dry, damaged and even colour-treated hair. It is a mild, sulphate-free shampoo that provides ultimate strength repair and intense conditioning to damaged hair. You can also try out the Hair Cleansing Cream Shampoo which thoroughly cleanses the hair without stripping its natural oils.
If your hair tends to become greasy quickly, you have oily hair. Choose a shampoo that can effectively cleanse and reduce excess oil without stripping off the necessary moisture. The Amino Mint Shampoo from Redken is perfect for oily hair as it is known for its invigorating and soothing properties. It deeply cleanses the hair to combat oily roots and remove product build-up while soothing irritation and refreshing the hair.
Breakage-prone hair often suffers from split ends and lack of shine. Redken Extreme Shampoo is excellent for breakage-prone hair. It helps to reduce breakage and split ends and restores strength, shine and resilience giving your hair a new lease of life.
If your hair is often puffy, hard to manage, and lacks shine, you likely have frizzy hair. This hair type needs a shampoo that can provide intense hydration and smoothen the hair cuticles. The Frizz Dismiss Sulfate-Free Shampoo by Redken is designed specifically for this purpose. It gently cleanses while fighting frizz and improving the smoothness and shine of your hair, giving you the sleek, manageable hair you've been longing for.
If you notice flaking and itching, you have a dandruff-prone scalp. The Scalp Relief Dandruff Control Shampoo by Redken is a specialised formula with Piroctone Olamine that helps to control and alleviate dandruff. It is the perfect anti-dandruff shampoo that cleanses the hair, soothes the scalp and leaves the hair light and airy with a beautiful shine.
Colour-treated hair requires a gentle shampoo that can maintain the vibrancy of the colour while providing necessary care. Redken Colour Extends Magnetic Shampoo is perfect for this purpose. It is a non-stripping, lightweight and gentle formula that cleanses the hair while protecting the hair colour from fading and enhancing its shine. If you have blonde hair, you can also try Redken’s Colour Extend Blondage Shampoo. It is a colour-depositing shampoo with purple pigments that fights the yellow tones and unwanted brassiness.
