Shampoo According to Hair Type from Aveda
At Lux Hair Bar , we know that one of the most basic steps in haircare is shampooing. Shampoo cleanses the hair and removes oil from around the hair follicles. However, for some scalp types, the cleansing process can be drying. The best shampoos balance their capacity to clean hair with an ability to provide moisture and nutrition to the hair shaft. And while we all use shampoo for the same reason and in much the same way, the types of shampoo we use are as varied as hair textures and types. To find the best shampoo according to hair type it is important to start with a clear understanding of the type of hair you have.
Know Your 2 Types?
When choosing a new shampoo according to hair type, it is important to start with a clear and honest understanding of your hair type, but it is equally as important to also understand your scalp type. Since the hair root is anchored deep in your scalp, healthy hair really does start at the scalp. So, when choosing a new shampoo consider your 2 types, hair and scalp.
Common Scalp Types
- Sensitive: Symptoms you may experience as a result of a sensitive scalp include redness, itching, burning and/or a tingling sensation.
- Dry: Signs of a dry scalp include itching, irritation and/or dandruff.
- Greasy: If your scalp is greasy, you may see clogged pores or blemishes on your scalp as well as hair that feels oily or waxy even after it has just been washed.
Common Hair Types
- Dry: Dry hair often presents as damage like split ends or brittle hair that breaks easily.
- Oily: If your hair looks weighed down or the strands stick to each other you most likely have oily hair.
- Color-treated: While color can look amazing, it can be damaging, and those with color-treated hair would experience locks with a rough texture or strands that break easily.
- Curly: There are many curl patterns in the world of hair, and those with curly hair are most likely already well aware of their curly hair type.
- Thin or Fine: Thin and fine are sometimes used interchangeably when referring to hair type, but there is a distinct difference. Fine describes an individual piece of hair with an extremely slender shaft while thin refers to a low number of individual hairs on the entire head.
What To Avoid
Though the best shampoos vary depending on hair and scalp type, there are common chemicals that every type wants to avoid. Generally, alcohol, sulfates, sodium chloride, or formaldehyde are not ingredients you want to see in your new shampoo.
