Yeah.
Some people have fine greasy hair and need to shampoo everyday, therefore it might be important to get a shampoo that doesn’t strip too much of natural oils, i.e. free of sulfates which used everyday could promote hair loss. That might be contested, but I rather avoid the risk. Regardless your hair will be healthier in the long run.
Some people have thick dry hair that doesn’t need to be shampooed everyday; in those circumstances bimonthly or maybe even monthly washes could be enough. Certain ingredients cater to those needs, such as clarifying shampoos, as it gets rid of all that build up.
They may also benefit from a shampoo with oils while those with thin greasy hair will get weighed down with oils and should avoid it. They should also avoid conditioners.
I’m not fully sure what I’ve said is correct but that just goes to prove how specific the correct products need to be.
You may have dyed hair, dandruff, itchy scalp, use a lot of gels/hairspray, straighten your hair a lot. It is essential to use the right shampoo which accounts for that for you to continue doing all that while not causing long term damage to your hair. It SHOWS. It may even show when it falls out because you’ve been abusing your scalp for too long.
The whole point is establishing a routine specific to your hair type and getting a suitable shampoo for it. Getting the right shampoo could save you money, since it could constitute ingredients that allow you to wash less, or save you from spending money on more products trying to correct problems.
It’s definitely better than getting £1 shampoo from Tesco, which could exacerbate hair issues. The right shampoo and regiment could be what you need to prevent your hair from weakening and falling out. and then you go and buy some alpecin garbage that promises to grow your hair back. Now THAT’S giving into marketing. I’ll stick with forking out £6 every month.
Your hair is your hair. Once it’s gone that’s it. Arguably it’s more important than your skincare routine for your face.
