It’s All About The Hair: Your Guide To Finding The Right Shampoo & Conditioner

Are you still searching for that shampoo and conditioner? We’ll admit it, we get serious hair envy but that’s all about to change with our guide to finding the right cleansing products for your hair and scalp type. The first step is figuring out your hair type, then you can finally start to understand the hair vocabulary, and what products are best for you to use!

Here are FROW’s picks of shampoos and conditioners, each with a different purpose to make sure you’re using the right products for your unique hair type and concerns.

The Moroccan Oil Volume Shampoo and Conditioner Duo works to gently cleanse your scalp, whilst adding volume and shine without that weighed down appearance. Perfect if you have fine, straight hair and are constantly cleansing to get rid of excess dirt and oil. Being led down a limp and lifeless path is the last thing we want!

If you’re a constant mane tamer but can’t seem to find the right balance between keeping your curls intact and removing the frizz, Wild Science Lab‘s Vegan Bond Reconstruct Shampoo and Conditioner might just be for you. The formula includes a keratin repair peptide complex, essential oils, shea butter and marshmallow extract to tackle frizziness, flyaways and fragility – much needed with the humidity rising as we get closer to summer, may we add!

There will be no more dreading hair wash day with the Lush Glory Conditioner. Coat your hair in this oil-packed formula after shampooing, comb through any tangles with ease before rinsing to reveal your curls. Aiming to give your hair a rich boost of hydration for ultimate definition and shine (plus, its beautiful scent), this is definitely a FROW favourite!

Clean scalp and a fuss-free wash day? Afrocenchix and their Swirl shampoo and conditioner will provide a super clean scalp, important when it comes to healthy hair growth, as well as moisturising your locks so you can wave good-bye to the long and painful detangling sessions. The pH balanced formula is even gentle enough to use once a week and is ideal for curly and afro hair types.

What duo cleanses, hydrates, revives hair from heat, chemical and sun damage all whilst making your locks manageable? It’s the Charlotte Mensah Manketti Oil Shampoo and Conditioner, of course. Both formulas have been previously voted the best for afro hair types, but it’s also suitable for a mix of curlies and wavies alike. A must-have for your hair!

Ease your itchy scalp whilst preventing flakiness with the L’Oréal Paris Professionnel Serie Expert Instant Clear Shampoo. Not only will your scalp be thankful, but your hair will also reap the benefits, of getting cleansed for a natural shine. This product is also perfect for keeping oily hair at bay by clearing the scalp from impurities – squeaky clean!

Where have you been if you’ve not heard of Olaplex and its bundle of Bond Maintenance Shampoo and Conditioner? The restorative properties in both are set to strengthen, repair and hydrate all hair types – but it’s particularly good at working its magic on damaged locks. The concentrated formula only requires a small amount of product to create a nice lather, making it worth the splurge – trust us on this one.

Greasy, grown out roots and dry ends? Don’t worry, The Hair Boss is to the rescue with their Balayage Shampoo that tackles exactly that. With a lightweight formula working to cleanse, combat oil and build-up (with the addition of salicylic acid) to nourish and restore the scalp, we can’t wait to try this one out!

Finally, one for all those hair dye addicts out there – the Colour Maintainer Shampoo and Conditioner by Milk Shake. This pairing will not only give your hair a boost of instant hydration, but it’ll work to repair your hair cuticles whilst also protecting your colour against free radicals and harmful sun rays. Yes please!

Clean scalp and a fuss-free wash day? Afrocenchix and their Swish shampoo and Swirl conditioner will provide a super clean scalp, important when it comes to healthy hair growth, as well as moisturising your locks so you can wave good-bye to the long detangling sessions. The pH balanced formula is even gentle enough to use once a week and is ideal for curly and afro hair types.
