Wash your way to BETTER HAIR

Picking the right shampoo is the key to unlocking a good hair day – find your perfect match

If your hair is… fine or thinning

TO BOOST VOLUME Look for volumising formulas, and avoid any moisturising buys because they tend to be heavier, and can leave your ’do looking flatter. Monday Volume Shampoo, £5, Tesco, is a brilliant bargain, which will stimulate your scalp.

TO ENCOURAGE GROWTH It’s common for hair to become thinner during hormonal changes, such as post-pregnancy or during the menopause. Ingredients like biotin and keratin can help boost hair growth – Viviscal Thickening Shampoo, £9.99, viviscal.co.uk, contains both.

CURE WITH CONDITIONER Picking the right conditioner is important. You want something that’ll hydrate without weighing strands down. Noughty Pumped Up Conditioner, £7, Sainsbury’s, is just the one for the job.

If your hair is… troublesome

TO TAME FRIZZ Frizz is often caused by a lack of moisture, so make sure to use a nourishing conditioner. Picking the right shampoo is also vital – John Frieda Frizz Ease Brazilian Sleek Frizz Immunity Shampoo, £6.99, Superdrug, is ideal, and protects from humidity.

TO HEAL DAMAGE Bond-building technology helps repair damage and strengthen the bonds in your hair follicles. L’Oréal Paris Elvive Bond Repair Shampoo, £11.99, Boots, makes a difference after just one wash.
