How to Wash Your Hair the Right Way, According to the Pros

By A Mystery Man Writer

From fine and straight, to thick and curly, we got all the tips from the experts.
Buckett is a big fan of this volume shampoo for fine hair. He admits that natural and organic products don’t usually rinse thoroughly, but this one gets the job done and leaves locks soft and shiny.
A favorite of Citrone and one she recommends to a variety of hair types is the Davines Love Smoothing Shampoo. It gently cleanses strands with fatty acids and vitamin E–rich Sicilian minuta olives, which smooths and nourishes frizzy and unruly hair.
Another go-to for Citrone is Shu Uemura’s Ultimate Reset Shampoo for damaged strands. From bleaching and coloring to heat styling, this repairs and restores locks without weighing the hair down. It also lifts away dirt and impurities while offering a gentle cleanse.
For natural hair, Amos suggests the Monoi Repairing Conditioner because it doesn’t leave the hair heavy. Infused with Monoi oil—a blend of Tahitian Tiare gardenia flower and coprah coconut oil—bamboo water, and pro-vitamin B5, this hydrator helps repair damaged strands.
Buckett raves about Olaplex shampoo, which was created specifically for color-treated, bleached, or superthick strands that need some extra hydration. He also recommends it for natural hair that is about to be straightened or blown out, as it preps locks for heat styling.
Amos is a fan of the entire Gold Series collection from Pantene. He recommends washing curly and coily strands at least three times every two to three weeks and suggests a sulfate-free shampoo for the third round of washing. The rich lather helps to remove buildup without stripping the hair of its natural oils.
For scalps prone to dandruff, Buckett swears by Nizoral. This twice-a-week shampoo contains 1 percent ketoconazole to relieve flaking, scaling, and itching. It’s also gentle enough to be used on color-treated and chemically processed strands.
For curly and coily hair, Amos loves this hydrator to detangle and define curls. He suggests letting it sit for 10 minutes or more and covering strands with a shower cap to allow the formula to penetrate the hair shaft, smooth, and repair.
