How would I go about deciding which shampoo is best for my hair?

You decide on the right shampoo based on your hair type such as thin, thick, oily, or dry. Then you consider other hair conditions such as dandruff or split ends. For your specific hair type there are products made by well known companies such as Pantene and TRESemme which will be specific to accommodate your hair.

However the best results may be a shampoo which is made from organic ingredients which you can find in the natural section of many stores or more specialized ones like Trader Joe's.

I find the best way to do this is to try a few different shampoos and conditioners and choose which type or brand has the desired effect on your hair. I've done this because my hair is fairly normal - slightly wavy, not greasy or frizzy just boring really, haha.

Shampoo can be confusing. Moisturizing, hydrating, volumizing, strengthening, smoothing, curling, oh my. How do you match the lingo on the bottle with the hair on your head?

It doesn't have to be a head game if you know what you're looking for. This guide will help you match your hair and the results you seek with shampoo. Before you choose shampoo it's important to know what shampoo does, how to use it, and how that relates to your hair and scalp type.

Shampoo is meant to clean your hair and scalp of dirt, oil, and hair products. While it's common to think of shampoo as a hair cleansing agent, it's more important to consider your scalp when choosing a shampoo. My rule of thumb is this: shampoo should be chosen based on your scalp condition; conditioner should be used to treat your hair.

This way, if your scalp is oily and your ends are dry (which is a common problem), choose shampoo that is best suited for an oily scalp and a conditioner that is best suited to hydrate your dry ends. Because like your face, treating the oil conditions on your scalp (whether it's dry, oily, or somewhere in the middle) begins with proper cleansing. Introducing the proper moisture back into your hair can be accomplished by selecting the right conditioner.

If your scalp tends to be oily or greasy you've likely been through dozens of shampoos with little luck. You've tried everything from washing daily (sometimes twice daily) to putting days between shampoos in an effort to control oil and sebum production. It can feel embarrassing when your scalp feels oily.

Avoid shampoos that are hydrating, moisturizing, smoothing, or good for curly hair. These shampoos tend to add too much moisture to your already oily scalp. Look for labels that read volumizing, strengthening, or balancing.

These products are less moisturizing and more effective at removing excess oil. A daily clarifying shampoo can be a big help to super oily scalp conditions, but be careful that you're not over drying your scalp when choosing to use a clarifying shampoo. Over drying can actually stimulate more oil and sebum production.

Try a super clarifying treatment when your oily scalp is really out of control. Be sure the shampoo you choose for your oily scalp is color safe. Spend extra time working the shampoo into your scalp to break up oil.

Rinse very well. Follow these steps to ensure proper shampooing. After shampooing, avoid working your conditioner into your scalp.

Rather, concentrate on keeping conditioner on the mid-shaft and ends of your hair. When your scalp is dry, itchy, or even flaky choosing the right shampoo can be the first defense in the uncomfortable and sometimes embarrassing conditions that can occur. It's important to choose a shampoo that doesn't add to the issue when you have a dry scalp.

Avoid strengthening, fortifying, and volumizing shampoos. These products can strip your scalp of necessary moisture. For scalps that are only slightly dry with little to no itching and that do not flake, look for shampoo labels that promote moisture, hydration, smoothing, or curls (especially handy if you have curly hair).

These products promote moisture and can be beneficial to your dry scalp. If your scalp is very dry, itchy, and or flaky consider shampoos that are specifically formulated for dry scalp. Ingredients like menthol and tea tree can help moisturize your dry scalp.

Nioxin can be an excellent investment for moderate to severe dry scalp concerns. Avoid shampoos that contain sulfates, which are very drying to the hair and scalp. Even when your scalp is dry, it's important to properly shampoo your hair for best results.

Hydrating/Moisturizing Shampoo: great for adding moisture, shine, and smoothness to hair. Good for thick, curly, or course hair. Volumizing Shampoo: excellent choice when your hair is fine or limp.

If your hair or style need a boost and lift, a volumizing shampoo can be a great foundation. Strengthening/Fortifying Shampoo: good for damaged, over processed, highlighted, weak, or brittle hair. Usually contains extra protein to improve the condition of your hair.

Balancing Shampoo: balancing shampoos are typically a nice middle of the road shampoo. Not too moisturizing, but won't dry your hair out. Smoothing/Straight Hair Shampoo: extra moisturizers and smoothing agents help seal the cuticle and provide a great start for your straight and smooth hairstyle.

Curly Hair Shampoo: shampoos that are formulated for curly hair are typically very moisturizing and make an extra effort to reduce frizz.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
