Many shampoo bottles say "herbal" on the front. The label on the back tells you more. Here is what to check before you buy, and how Shahi Shampoo can fit into your routine.

Read the ingredient list

  • Ingredients are listed from the largest amount to the smallest.
  • Plant extracts near the bottom of the list are usually present in small amounts.
  • Look for a clear list of what the product contains, not only a word on the front.

Match it to your hair

  • Oily scalp: choose a lighter formula and wash every day or every other day.
  • Dry or long hair: a gentler formula with conditioning ingredients may feel better.
  • Sensitive scalp: test a new shampoo on a small patch of skin first.

How to use it well

1. Wet your hair with lukewarm water. 2. Use a small amount and work it into a lather on the scalp, not the lengths. 3. Rinse thoroughly, because leftover product can make the scalp itchy.

Keep a note

Changing shampoo too often makes it hard to tell what suits you. Try one bottle for four to six weeks and then decide.
