Hair Styling Tips & Product Combos
Which shampoo is the best for your hair?
Picking the right shampoo for your hair can be daunting. The first important factor, of course, is whether or not it cleans well. If you are only shampooing once or twice a week for instance, you want an effective cleanse, but you definitely don’t want something that will strip your hair.
After that, you want to focus on result. Are you seeking shine? More volume? Repair? All of these things can be addressed starting with your shampoo.
Finally, you want to confirm that a few things are not in your shampoo. Like parabens and aggressive sudsers like Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and Sodium Laureth Sulfate (also known as SLS and SLES). As part of our commitment to clear beauty, SEVEN® haircare products are all paraben and sulfate (SLS/SLES) free. You can get the skinny about sulfates and your hair here, or read below to determine the perfect shampoo for your hair type.
How to pick the right shampoo.
Now that you know what to consider, where to start? For instance, if you have color-treated hair, what is more important to address first? Damage, dryness, or color retention? If you want volume and shine, do you have to choose one or the other?
The general rule is addressing scalp care and hair damage first. Next think about prevention and secondary needs like color retention and volume.
Luckily, SEVEN® products often do double duty. All of them help with shine for instance, and most give flat hair body. We also recommend alternating different shampoos from one wash to the next. Here is how to pinpoint your new favorites and figure out how to start styling from the shampoo bowl.
The perfect clean: SEVEN® shampoos.
