Shampoo should be chosen based on your scalp's needs, not the condition of your hair ends. Think of shampoo as "skincare" for your head; if the roots are not healthy and balanced, your hair will never shine to its full potential.
The Common Mistake that Damages Your Hair
If you have dry ends but an oily scalp and buy a "shampoo for dry hair", you will only saturate your scalp with oils, causing heaviness or hair loss. The hydration of the hair fibre (from mid-lengths to ends) is the job of conditioners and masks, not the shampoo.

To discover your true scalp type, perform this 48-hour test:

The Touch Test: Firmly pass your fingertips over the top of your head (the crown) and observe:
-
If your fingers shine and feel oily: Your scalp is Oily. You need purifying and lightweight formulas.
-
If your fingers are dry and you feel itchiness or see small flakes: Your scalp is Dry. You need hydrating and calming formulas.
-
If your fingers are clean and your hair feels comfortable: You have a Normal scalp. Seek balance to keep it that way.
