Finding a shampoo and conditioner that fit your routine starts with knowing your hair and scalp. Whether your roots feel oily, your hair is color-treated, or you simply want a comfortable wash day, use this guide to narrow your choices.
Start with your scalp and hair type
Notice how quickly your scalp becomes oily and how your lengths feel after washing. Fine or oily hair may need a different routine from dry, curly, or color-treated hair. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends choosing products for your hair type and washing based on how often your hair gets dirty or oily.
Choosing a shampoo
For an occasional deeper cleanse: A clarifying shampoo can be useful when your routine includes styling products or your hair feels weighed down. Follow the label and adjust how often you use it to how your hair feels. Explore our clarifying shampoo and conditioner set.
For color-treated hair: Look for a shampoo and conditioner labeled for colored hair. Our Color Safe set is an option to consider; follow your colorist’s advice for your particular treatment.
For a tea tree routine: If you like tea tree products, explore the Tea Tree Shampoo and Conditioner Set in our hair care collection. Check the ingredient list and product directions before trying any new formula.
How to use conditioner
After shampooing, follow your conditioner’s directions. Apply it where your hair needs it most, often through the lengths and ends, and rinse as directed. Adjust the amount to your hair’s texture and length.
How often should you wash?
There is no single schedule for everyone. Your scalp’s oiliness, hair texture, activities, and product instructions can all affect your routine. If a product causes irritation, stop using it. For persistent scalp concerns or hair loss, speak with a dermatologist.
Build a routine you enjoy
Start with a shampoo and conditioner suited to your needs, then change one product at a time so you can see how your hair responds. Shop all hair care at GlowKind.
