8 best shampoos for dry hair

Dry hair receive insufficient nutrition and protection, they are dull, brittle, split at the tips. This is due both to the innate characteristics of the scalp (weak activity of the sebaceous glands), and as a result of staining, the use of forceps and other cosmetic procedures. But we hasten to please - the hair, which provided a competent and gentle care, is rarely dry. And the basis of such care - of course, the best shampoo for dry hair.

Criteria for choosing the best shampoo for dry hair

The main task of a dry-type shampoo is to moisturize the hair and scalp, protecting it from drying out. So look in it:

• non-aggressive washing base, for example, on the basis of glucosides (Coco Glucoside, Lauril Glucoside, etc.) and glutamates (TEA Cocoyl Glutamate, etc.);
• moisturizing and nourishing additives: panthenol, glycerin, soybean glycine, aloe vera extract, shea butter, macadamia, argan, almond, etc.
• firming ingredients: keratin, silk, wheat and rice protein.
• silicones. They not only protect hair from external influence, but also provide shine and easy combing. However, when used in combination with a nourishing mask or a balm, the silicones in the shampoo may already be superfluous.

Experts note that shampoos with low PH are best for dry hair: from 2.5 to 3.5, but, unfortunately, manufacturers rarely indicate this characteristic on their products.

Good dry hair shampoo manufacturers

To solve the problems of dry hair works a whole line of the beauty industry. Good products can be found on the store shelf (Dove, Elseve), in the departments of professional cosmetics (Estel, Kapous, Loreal Professionel) and in pharmacies (Klorane, Vichy, Alerana). The price does not decide everything: a good moisturizing shampoo can be bought for 100 rubles.

In recent years, domestic manufacturers have been successfully competing with foreign brands. Worthy products for dry hair are offered by Natura Siberica, Organic Shop, Planeta Organica, Love2 Mix Organic, as well as the Belarusian concern Belita-Vitex. In general, Expert Prices strongly recommends that when choosing a shampoo against dry hair, one should pay attention to the composition of the product, and not to the promotion of the brand.
