Should Your Shampoo And Conditioner Be The Same Brand?
By RAFAELA LUZURIAGA
The short answer is that you don’t need to buy matching shampoo and conditioner; however, it does not hurt to stick to one brand because it may help you achieve your hair goals. Sometimes it’s good to buy shampoo, conditioner, and hair masks from different brands so you can find products that will help your hair type and its specific needs.
The first step is understanding your hair type, so once you can distinguish if your hair is dry, oily, thick, thin, healthy, or irritated, picking hair products that work for your hair is easy. If you want a shampoo that cares for your oily scalp and a conditioner that will moisturize your dry strands, you should pick two different products.
To know what products to pair together for optimal results, research, online reviews, and labels will become your best friend. Read each label and match your concerns with the right products, and don’t forget to read reviews because you may stumble upon someone with similar hair types to your own.
