Mud shampoo can be good for you if your main problem is an oily scalp, greasy roots, or product buildup. The mud or clay in these shampoos can help take up surface oil, while the shampoo’s surfactants do the main job of washing away sebum, sweat, dirt, and styling residue. That does not mean every…
If you have dry, bleached, colored, heat-damaged, or breakage-prone hair, Olaplex Nº.4 can feel very different from a basic shampoo. It doesn’t just rely on cleansing ingredients. The formula also contains conditioning polymers, silicone-based conditioning agents, humectants, oils, and Olaplex’s signature ingredient, Bis-Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate. That combination helps explain why Olaplex shampoo is so good…
Purple shampoo is good for blonde hair when the problem is unwanted yellow or brassy warmth. The violet pigments in the shampoo temporarily change how those yellow tones look, helping a cool blonde appear cleaner, brighter, or more neutral. What purple shampoo does not do is just as important. It does not bleach hair lighter….
If your hair feels heavy, flat, coated, or harder to style after a few wash days, switching to silicone-free shampoo may help. The main benefit is simple: you stop adding silicone-based conditioning films to your hair through that product. For some people, especially those with fine hair or very gentle cleansing routines, that can make…
You grab a bottle called Argan Oil Luxurious Shampoo and your brain fills in the rest. Argan oil. Moisture. Shine. Soft hair. Probably gentle. Maybe even a little fancy. That’s the promise, anyway. But is Renpure Argan Oil Shampoo good when you stop looking at the front label and start looking at what actually cleans…
Seeing extra hair in the shower after starting Zepbound can be frightening, especially when the medication is otherwise helping you reach your health goals.

Zepbound’s current U.S. prescribing information lists hair loss as a common adverse reaction….
You may have heard that using the same shampoo for too long is bad because your hair gets used to it. Then someone else tells you the opposite: keep using one shampoo and never switch. Neither rule is quite right. Switching shampoos is not automatically bad, and you do not need to change shampoos on…
Aussie is a good shampoo brand if you want affordable, strongly fragranced hair care that cleans well and offers formulas for different hair types. But it isn’t the best match for everyone. Some popular Aussie shampoos use strong cleansing surfactants, silicones, fragrance, and conditioning ingredients. That combination can leave many people with clean, smooth, easy-to-manage…
White flakes on a dark shirt are annoying enough. Add an itchy scalp, and it becomes hard to ignore. Zinc pyrithione shampoo can be an effective choice for dandruff because zinc pyrithione, also called pyrithione zinc or ZPT, has antifungal activity against Malassezia yeasts associated with dandruff.

You spend good money on a keratin treatment, walk out of the salon with smooth, glossy hair, and then two days later your roots start looking oily. Of course they do. You don’t really want to wash your hair yet. But you also don’t want to spray something onto it that could shorten the life…
