A shampoo's job is to clean the scalp and hair. Beyond that, formulas differ in how strongly they cleanse and what they leave behind. Choose by your scalp first (oily, sensitive, build-up) and your hair second (colour-treated, curly, fine).
What to look for
- Your scalp's needs — a clarifying shampoo occasionally for build-up; gentle, fragrance-free formulas if your scalp is easily irritated.
- Your hair's needs — colour-care or sulfate-free formulas if you colour or have very dry, curly hair.
- Fragrance and known allergens if you have reacted to products before.
- Manufacturer claims — we describe what the brand says a product is for; we don't repeat marketing claims we can't back up.
