6 Best Shampoos to Keep Your Hair Looking Fresh All Day
The festive season is upon us and this means Christmas dinners with your colleagues after work or intimate gatherings with friends and family where you talk the night away. And you’ll want your hair to look as fresh as it was in the morning when you styled it; the question is, how?
Whether you’re dealing with oily strands, or a lack of volume that goes hand in hand with your fine, wispy hair, we’ve got the best shampoos that will make sure your hair looks as good as it was when you first washed and styled it.
BEAUBIT TIP: Focus on working the shampoo into the scalp and roots, since the mid-lengths and ends of your hair need less cleansing. Additionally, spend a little extra time under the water to ensure you thoroughly rinse out your shampoo.
Normal hair
Infused with Sachajuan’s Ocean Silk Technology, this everyday, gently cleansing shampoo stimulates the hair and scalp while it cleanses. Plus, we love that it leaves your hair looking so bouncy and shiny after each wash.
Dry hair
If your hair is on the dry, frizzier end, try this one from Davines. It has Minuta-olive extract, which is loaded with fatty acids and vitamin E — ingredients that help add moisture to your hair and combat frizz. But take note, this shampoo probably isn’t for very fine hair — the moisturizing properties won’t do much for you for volume.
Colour-treated hair
Many shampoos rely on a good amount of sulfates to effectively de-grease, but these can be very drying and harsh, especially for those with coloured hair. This sulfate-free option from Drunk Elephant relies on coconut-based surfactants to cleanse and remove dirt, product buildup and oil while imparting plenty of softness and shine.
Oily hair
Another Davines shampoo on this list—this one is extra foamy, so those who love lather will appreciate the airy feel. The foaming action is also what effectively clarifies your scalp and hair, removing every last bit of oil and product residue and leaving your hair clean and soft.
Fine hair
If you have fine hair, your main concern is the lack of volume in your wispy strands. This gentle yet thoroughly cleansing shampoo from Living Proof will help transform fine, flat hair to look and feel like naturally full and thick hair.
Curly hair
Briogeo’s Curl Charisma Shampoo is a universal delight for curls — it works equally well on wavy, curly or coily hair. Since curly hair tends to be drier than normal hair textures, this shampoo will deliver much-need moisture to your hair while defining your natural texture. The hero ingredient is rice amino acids, which go deep into the hair shaft to keep moisture in and frizz out. It’s also sulfate-free and made with 98% natural ingredients.
