Adolescence is the time when we start paying attention towards our looks. We read, ask friends and discuss about beauty tips, myths and more and one such myth which everyone comes across is ‘Shampoo should be changed on regular basis as hair builds a tolerance to a specific shampoo and conditioner’.

It’s not important to switch to another shampoo if it’s working well on your hair. However the truth is

that like another beauty regime hair product must be changed on several factors and not just for a myth.

Here are few points you must keep in mind before changing a shampoo.

  •  If hair undergo some chemical treatment like rebounding, colouring , perming , curls etc than special shampoos work more effectively than basic ones.
  • With age hair becomes brittle and thin and needs something that will help restore its intrinsic strength and make them appear fuller.
  • Summer heat can leave scalp oilier than normal so opt for a less-hydrating option with a volumizing formula to amp up overall lift.
  • In winters, hair becomes dry so products with moisturising ingredients are required to hydrate strands.
  • If you intake a healthy diet extra nourishment is not required but for lean-eaters hair masks are important to avoid dry and parched locks.
  • Shampoos depending on hair types like fizzy, dry and damaged or flat is important. If you have flat hair, go for volumizing shampoo. fizzy hair beauties must go for shampoos that can make hair more manageable and for dry and damaged hair protein enriched shampoos are a good bet.
  • If you swim in a pool or in salt water use a shampoo formulated for swimmers. It will help prevent dry brittle hair and increase shine and body.
  • A clarifying shampoo is a must for those who excessively use sprays, gel and other products on hair to cut through product build up which dulls and flattens hair, and increase its body, fullness and shine.
