Experts like hair restoration surgeon Dr. Ross Kopelman, dermatology resident Shoshana Marmon and dermatologist Viktoryia Kazlouskaya recommend choosing shampoos without sulfates, excessive alcohol, strong fragrances and heavy silicones in them for proper scalp care. Instead, opt for products with moisturising ingredients and natural oils to soothe the scalp.

Olaplex recently released their version which is sulphate-free to lift product residue, dirt and hard water minerals for vibrant color clarity while adding volume, strength and softness. Featuring coconut betaine and lauroyl methyl isethionate as buildup-busting ingredients while Olaplex’s bond-building ingredient blend provides even further shine and strength benefits!
