Shampoo: Choose the Best

HOW TO CHOOSE THE BEST SHAMPOO FOR YOUR HAIR

With so many different names, labels, and claims, it can be overwhelming to find the right shampoo to fulfil your hair dreams. From damaged or dry hair to curly hair, hair priorities are different for everyone. Redken recommends choosing a shampoo that helps care for your hair at its core. Whether you want to control frizz or protect your new colour, the proper haircare routine starts with shampoo.

HOW TO FIND THE BEST SHAMPOO FOR YOU

While you may only be thinking about hair type, you should also consider that shampoo is the foundation for your creating your favourite styles. Yes, hairstyling starts in the shower! Whether you’re searching based on your hair concerns or your end style goal, we’ve got you covered. Read on to see our shampoo recommendations for your hair goal.

BEST FOR DRY HAIR

Is your hair feeling more like string and straw rather than soft and silky? It’s time to pump up the moisture. Reach for a shampoo infused with argan oil like Redken All Soft shampoo. Argan oil is a powerful ingredient that helps to replenish the lipids in your hair for intense, buttery softness. The entire All Soft family is your answer for leaving hair silky soft with increased manageability and shine.

BEST BONDING FOR DAMAGED HAIR

With our most concentrated all-in-one formula for strength repair, Acidic Bonding Concentrate Shampoo is the best option for all types of damaged hair. Made with Citric Acid and our Bonding Care Complex, this shampoo balances hair pH and reinforces weakened bonds to improve hair strength.

BEST FOR COLOUR-TREATED HAIR

Whether your hair is beautifully balayaged or vivid pink, you don’t want your hair colour (and money spent!) to wash down the drain. Choosing the right shampoo and products can help your hair colour last longer. One of the best ways to do this is by switching to a sulfate-free shampoo like Redken Color Extend Magnetics. Color Extend Magnetics shampoo is formulated with good-for-your-hair ingredients like amino-ions and amino acids that protect colour from fading and enhance shine. Depending on your colour or goals, these are other great shampoos for colour-treated hair we’d recommend!

BEST (PURPLE) FOR BLONDE HAIR

It’s no secret that keeping your blonde hair brass-free isn’t easy. Great blonde hair starts with the right purple shampoo, like Redken Color Extend Blondage. Blondage is formulated to help neutralize brassy tones and keep your blonde brighter and healthier. The purple colour in blonde shampoos helps to cancel out yellow undertones so your ideal shade will last longer. Need stronger at-home toning help?

BEST FOR SPLIT ENDS

Despite our best efforts, sometimes our hair can suffer from breakage, split ends and other forms of hair damage. Sound familiar? Supply your hair with the care it needs by switching to a shampoo that helps to strengthen and defend your hair against different forms of damage. In fact, Redken Extreme shampoo (when coupled with the conditioner and Anti-Snap leave-in treatment) helps to fight against five types of damage including chemical, thermal, mechanical, and surface damage as well as hair breakage. Talk about a shampoo power player!

BEST FOR CURLY HAIR

Our most moisturizing shampoo, All Soft Mega is the perfect shampoo for those with curly and textured hair. Redken’s Nourish Complex is infused with Aloe Vera to hydrate, strengthen, and lock in moisture all day long. Curls need the right balance of moisture and protein and All Soft Mega’s formula will strengthen while nourishing your strands. All Soft Mega is also a great shampoo for those with thick or coarse hair!

BEST FOR OILY HAIR

While oily hair is primarily caused by genetics, there are ways to manage it. One way is to use a clarifying shampoo like our Hair Cleansing Cream. This clarifying shampoo cleans your scalp by removing all kinds of elements from your hair like copper, iron, hard water minerals, and product buildup so you step out of the shower with fully clean hair.
