Switching shampoos?

Most Salon Brands do not build up on hair, they continue to work effectively as long as you use them, so there’s no need to switch products. However, shampooing occasionally without using any conditioner or styling products to give hair a rest.

Choosing the right products for your hair

Fine or thin hair can sometimes be more delicate and could benefit from a protein enriched shampoo and conditioner formula with a light level of conditioner. Curly hair may look dry, and therefore can benefit from a regime that includes moisturizing ingredients.

Here is a guide to how gentle your shampoo is according to the surfactant used:
Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate - very, very, harsh
Ammonium Laureth Sulfate- very harsh but better than the above
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate- better than the above, but still a little harsh
Sodium Laureth Sulfate-gentle, great pick!
