SHORT AND BASIC GUIDE FOR FINDING YOUR CORRECT SHAMPOO
THIS IS RESEARCH BASED AND SPENT OVER 1HR OF RESEARCH IF ANYTHING IS WRONG WITH THIS LET ME KNOW
The key to picking the right shampoo for straight (Type 1) or wavy (Type 2) hair comes down to managing weight and moisture.
Type 1: Straight Hair
Since natural oils easily slide down straight hair, roots get greasy fast while ends stay flat.
Look for: Labels that say volumizing, clarifying, or balancing.
Good ingredients: Salicylic acid, tea tree, or light plant proteins that cut through oil without stripping your scalp.
Skip: Heavy silicones and deep-moisture butter blends (like shea or cocoa butter) that turn hair greasy by mid-day.
Type 2: Wavy Hair
Waves need enough moisture to keep frizz away, but not so much product that the S-pattern gets weighed down flat.
Look for: Hydrating, lightweight moisture, or frizz-control formulas. Sulfate-free options are great here.
Good ingredients: Aloe vera, glycerin, and lightweight oils like argan or jojoba.
Skip: Rich, heavy curl creams disguised as shampoos—they’ll pull your waves straight.
