Korab’s preferred shampoo is Pureology Hydrate, which she says is suitable for all hair types. Another favorite among Glamour editors is Roz Foundation Shampoo.
For those with thick or dry hair, washing less frequently can be beneficial as their hair does not get oily quickly. Kim recommends L’Oréal Metal Detox for various hair lengths and textures, while Glamour editors with thick hair swear by Better Not Younger Bounce Back Super Moisturizing Shampoo.
If you struggle with dandruff, the key is the shampoo you use. Dandruff is often a result of a dry scalp, and dandruff shampoos containing ingredients like ketoconazole, selenium sulfide, salicylic acid, or zinc pyrithione can be helpful. Managing a dry scalp may involve using exfoliating shampoos regularly or opting for extra-strength exfoliating shampoos less frequently.
For textured or curly hair, hairstylist Nubia Rëzo suggests washing once a week to maintain optimal scalp health and prevent buildup. Over-shampooing can strip away natural oils that keep the hair hydrated and healthy, so a gentle scalp massage while shampooing can help promote blood flow.
Overall, understanding your hair type and choosing the right products and washing frequency can contribute to healthier hair and scalp.
