Shampoo 101: Choosing The Right Shampoo For Your Hair Type

How often have you struggled finding the right shampoo for your hair? Do you always try shampoos based on your hair type? If not, this is a good time to let our experts guide you on what a shampoo does and how you can use it for your hair.

What is a Shampoo?

A shampoo is a cleansing product that can be used on the scalp and hair to remove dirt, dust, oils and product buildup. It is the first step to your hair care routine that ensures your scalp and hair are devoid of pollutants and clogging agents, paving the way for enriching ingredients to work their magic.

How to Choose the Right Shampoo Based on your Hair Type?

Wondering what is the perfect shampoo for your hair type? Luckily for you, our experts at Godrej Professional have the best professional shampoos for every hair type and concern. 

For Normal to Dry Hair

If you rarely have any hair concerns with the off chance of facing dryness once in a blue moon, we recommend charging your hair with the Keratin Rich Shampoo.

Usage Recommendation:

• Thoroughly wet your hair and apply the Keratin Shampoo evenly on your scalp
• Massage your scalp with gentle, circular motions
• Run your fingers through the lengths of your hair

True to its name, this shampoo boosts your hair with Hydrolyzed Keratin protein to strengthen, nourish and give the appearance of healthy, bouncy locks. In fact, it also helps treat coloured hair and can also be used for all hair types. Choose this hair shampoo for optimum results by washing your hair at least twice a week.

For Dry to Damaged Hair

Looking for a repair shampoo to reverse the signs of hair damage? We have the perfect shampoo for you that is enriched with honey and essential oils. Try the Honey Moisture Shampoo on dry and damaged locks.

How to use the honey shampoo?

• Wet your hair and apply the Honey Moisture Shampoo evenly on your scalp.
• Lather it at the roots and then work it through the lengths of your hair.

Honey helps in absorbing and retaining moisture in the hair. It also acts as an effective cleanser due to its antimicrobial properties. The infused nourishing oils help rehydrate dry hair by enriching it with antioxidants and vitamins. Use this honey shampoo regularly to reduce dryness and make hair soft and shiny.

For Frizzy Hair

Why go for one when you can have two perfect shampoos for frizzy hair? Our experts recommend using either the Avocado Nourish Shampoo or the Quinoa Smooth Shampoo to tame frizz and flyways, giving your hair the perfect silky, sleek look.

Both shampoos are enriched with superfood ingredients to nourish your locks and combat frizz with every wash. The best part? These shampoos are paraben free which means that your hair is completely protected from harmful chemicals. Use either of the shampoos twice or thrice a week to see desired results.

For Chemically Treated to Damaged Hair

Making your hair go through chemical processes like colouring, straightening or even curling can have a lasting impact. If not applied correctly, these processes can end up making your strands weak and prone to damage. Hence, our experts suggest securing your hair with a sulphate free shampoo like the Keracare Repair Shampoo.

How to use this shampoo for coloured hair?

• Wet your hair thoroughly and apply the Keracare Repair Shampoo evenly on your scalp.
• Lather it at the roots and then work it through the lengths of your hair.
• Rinse well.

This sulphate and paraben free shampoo is enriched with Grapeseed oil containing vitamin E that boosts overall hair health. It locks in moisture and controls frizz making hair soft, healthy and nourished. It is specially crafted as a sulphate free shampoo in India, made for Indian hair. You won’t see the difference till you try it out!

For Dull & Frizzy Hair

The more your tresses remain prone to frizz, the duller they become. This is because your hair isn’t exposed to any added nourishment. That’s why our experts recommend using the Keracare Recharge Shampoo - a sulphate and paraben free shampoo specially made to treat dullness and frizz.

Usage Recommendation:

• Wet your hair thoroughly and apply the Keracare Recharge Shampoo evenly on your scalp.
• Lather it at the roots and then work it through the lengths of your hair.
• Rinse well
