With so many different types of shampoos available, it can be overwhelming to choose the right one. A good starting point is to decide based on whether your hair has undergone chemical treatments like coloring or perming, or if it is still in its natural, virgin state. If you have colored hair, using a shampoo specifically designed for colored hair will help extend the life of your color.

One thing to be mindful of is if your hair is dry, regardless of whether you've had chemical treatments. For people with dry hair and an oily scalp, some tend to choose heavily moisturizing shampoos. However, if the shampoo contains silicone to promote smoothness, it may make your scalp even oilier. In this case, it’s better to use conditioners or treatments to treat and combat the dryness or damage in your hair.

The best approach is to consult your personal stylist, who can assess your hair's condition and recommend professional salon-grade products to achieve beautiful, healthy hair.
