The best way to shampoo
Shampoo for dry hair: Dry hair lies flat so light reflects off it easily, giving the appearance with no shine. To keep your dry hair shiny, use a gentle shampoo and conditioner. Gentle products keep the hair's cuticle --the tiny "shingles" that line the hair -- healthy. A roughed-up cuticle diffuses light, detracting from shine. If you blow dry, use a natural bristle brush and a blow dryer on medium heat. Do not over heat dry hair. When hair is dry, spritz on a shine-enhancing spray to keep hair silky.
Shampoo for oily hair: Oily hair seperates and strands stick to your head. Styling is difficult unless the hair is washed every day with a mild shampoo. This shampoo needs to be specially formulated for oily hair. Even with a mild shampoo, use very little or as little shampoo as you can to get a moderately good lather. Put conditioner on the ends, but only if your hair is not overly oily. How to tell? If after you shampoo your hair, the ends of your hair have an oily feel, don't use conditioner. A couple of other don'ts...don't use a hot hair dryer since it will cause your scalp to sweat, bringing out oils in sweat. Don't use a comb or brush more than necessary.
Shampoo for curly hair: You have more of a challenge. Curly hair is naturally dry so its cuticle is likely to be rough to begin with. Add to that its texture, and light has a difficult time reflecting from it. To make your curls as shiny as possible, use moisturizing shampoo and conditioners, and be sure to trim fuzzy ends regularly. Shampoo your hair with a normal/oily shampoo and conditioner. Apply your styling products to damp hair, shake hair gently, then wind strands around your finger to shape them. If you can, allow hair to air dry; if you must blowdry, use a diffuser attachment. Very important: Touch your hair as little as possible. Scrunching or tousling as you dry breaks up curl formation, diffusing light even more. When hair is dry, rub a few drops of a silicone shine between your palms, then gently smooth palms down the length of your curls.
