For normal hair: Invest in shampoos that cleanse the hair and use conditioner regularly to prevent damage.
For thin hair: Use shampoos containing protective film-forming agents such as protein, PG-propyl silanetriol, and avoid silicones.
For curly hair: Choose shampoos extracted from shea butter, oils, coconut oil, etc.
For damaged hair: Use shampoos with a pH range from 4.5 to 6.7.
Key Points to Note When Using Herbal Shampoo
To achieve optimal results when using herbal shampoo, consider the following:
- Avoid using other chemical-containing shampoos after using this one. Using too many products may cause your scalp and hair to adapt to too many components, reducing effectiveness.
- Avoid washing your hair with excessively hot water. Hot water can dry out the scalp, causing flaking and dandruff. Use lukewarm water, around 40-45 degrees, to gently cleanse the scalp and hair.
- Avoid washing your hair daily to prevent stripping too much natural oils from the scalp. Washing 2-3 times a week is sufficient to protect the scalp and hair effectively.
- After shampooing, pat dry with a wet towel and let your hair air dry naturally. Avoid using hair dryers excessively or leaving hair wet to ensure hair strength and shine.
