Shampoos: The best products for beautiful hair
Those who care about their hair know that washing it isn’t always as simple as it seems. Primarily, shampoo is used to cleanse the hair. However, when it comes to care performance, it’s important to choose a shampoo that matches your hair type. Learn more about shampoos, discover the best brands, and find the perfect product for your hair type.
Why use shampoo?
With the right shampoo, both your hair and scalp are cleansed of dandruff, dirt, and oil every time you wash your hair. Additionally, shampoo should help improve shine and manageability. For this reason, it’s important to use a high-quality shampoo that’s suited to your specific hair type.
How often you should wash your hair also depends on your hair type. That’s why almost all brands, such as Kérastase, offer a variety of products designed to meet different hair needs. Only hair that tends to get oily very quickly should not be washed daily, as excessive washing can irritate the scalp. However, if you skip washing too often, your hair can appear greasy and lose its shine. Most people intuitively wash their hair at the right intervals.
You should never use shower gel instead of shampoo, as shower gel is formulated for the skin, not for hair. Washing your hair regularly with shower gel can prevent proper scalp cleansing and lead to itching. To ensure your hair is not only clean but also well cared for, you can complement your routine with products such as conditioners, hair masks, and hair oils. However, the right shampoo is the foundation for beautiful, healthy hair — without it, other care products are ineffective.
What is the best shampoo for my hair type?
From oily roots and dry scalp to limp or damaged hair — hair types vary greatly. To meet their specific needs and make hair smooth, shiny, and healthy, one thing matters most: the right shampoo. Below are some of the best products for different hair types.
Shampoo for oily hair
Oily hair can be annoying, appear unkempt, and be difficult to manage. When your roots become greasy quickly, even after regular washing, it’s often due to excessive sebum production at the scalp.
The belief that frequent hair washing stimulates more oil production is a common myth — and it’s not true. If washing your hair daily makes you feel more comfortable, you can absolutely do so. The main purpose of daily hair washing is to remove oil buildup, and a gentle shampoo is best suited for this.
Product recommendation: Kérastase Spécifique Bain Divalent effectively removes excess sebum from the scalp and hair. Its balancing properties soothe the scalp and provide an instant feeling of freshness. Launched in the 1970s, this shampoo began the popular Spécifique line by Kérastase and remains its most successful product to this day.

Shampoo for fine hair
If you have fine hair, you probably want one thing above all: more volume! If
you’re tired of flat, lifeless hair, try a volumizing shampoo from BellAffair.
Product recommendation: Goldwell Dualsenses Ultra Volume Shampoo
doesn’t weigh fine, weak hair down and instantly provides noticeable strength,
fullness, and volume.
Learn more about hair care and styling products for fine hair in our blog
articles, including More Volume for Your Hair.
Shampoo for dry hair or dry scalp
When hair feels straw-like, brittle, and dull, it’s lacking the necessary moisture that can be restored with the right care product. Shampoos for dry hair rebalance the hair’s moisture levels and lock it in. Product recommendation: Schwarzkopf Bonacure Moisture Kick Shampoo restores shine and softness to dry hair. It’s silicone-free and protects hair from drying out again.
Shampoo for curly hair
Natural curls, waves, or frizzy hair are often dry and lose their bounce. Because of their unique structure, curls need more care than straight hair. That’s why there are shampoos specifically for curls. Product recommendation: Wella Nutricurls Curls Shampoo is a micellar shampoo that adds softness and definition to curly and wavy hair. Its sulfate-free formula cleanses gently without stripping moisture.
Shampoo for dull hair
To make hair shine, haircare products often use various oils that add the necessary moisture and enhance natural brilliance. Product recommendation: Wella Oil Reflections Shampoo gives radiant shine with its lightweight formula that doesn’t weigh the hair down but leaves it looking healthy and glossy.
Shampoo for damaged hair
Hair is exposed to stress every day — from coloring, heat styling, and environmental factors. The result: dullness, dryness, split ends, and breakage. A shampoo for damaged hair can quickly restore strength and vitality.
Product recommendation: Olaplex Bond Maintenance No. 4 Shampoo is the bestselling U.S. formula for damaged, colored hair. Its patented ingredient helps repair the hair structure. This shampoo is sulfate-free, paraben-free, and vegan. Learn more about Olaplex products in our Olaplex Review.
Silver shampoo for blonde hair
Dreaming of beautiful, cool blonde tones without brassiness? To maintain a
bright, cool blonde, silver shampoos are essential. The violet or blue
pigments neutralize unwanted yellow tones, while nourishing ingredients keep
bleached hair soft and smooth.
Product recommendation: Fanola No Yellow Silver Shine Shampoo
maintains a vibrant, even blonde tone. Thanks to its gentle, caring formula,
it’s also suitable for frequent washing.
Color shampoo for colored hair
Color shampoos are designed to enhance the vibrancy, shine, and longevity of colored hair. There are two types: color-depositing and color-protecting shampoos. Color-depositing formulas contain pigments that coat the hair surface, while color-protecting ones prevent premature fading. Product recommendation: Davines Alchemic Chocolate Shampoo is designed specifically for brown-colored hair. Its pigments intensify brown tones and refresh the hair color. Learn everything you need to know about color shampoos in our blog What’s Your Color Shampoo?
Dry shampoo
When you’re short on time, dry shampoo is the perfect solution. This alternative to traditional shampoo is sprayed directly onto dry roots and massaged in — no water needed. It absorbs oil and leaves hair looking instantly refreshed. Product recommendation: Kevin.Murphy Fresh Hair Aerosol is a paraben-free, sulfate-free, and vegan dry shampoo that removes odors and revives the hair in seconds.
Men’s shampoo
Men’s hair needs vary — from dandruff and hair loss to oily hair, men face many of the same challenges, and there are specific shampoos designed for them.
Many men mistakenly use shower gel, which can make hair greasy faster. Shower gels contain ingredients formulated for skin, not hair, and often include oils that make hair heavier. However, some 2-in-1 products are formulated primarily for hair but can also be used on the body — these are a great option. Product recommendation: Goldwell Dualsenses Men Hair & Body Shampoo is ideal for men’s daily hair washing and, thanks to its moisturizing effect, also works well as a shower gel. Learn how to choose the best men’s shampoo for you in our blog.
For special needs: Find the right shampoo online
Hair is not all the same — and neither is shampoo. The variety of shampoos available today is enormous. Especially if you have specific needs, it’s not always easy to find the right one. We’ve put together a selection of products for special concerns such as dandruff, hair loss, and itchy scalp.
Shampoo for dandruff
Those who suffer from dandruff will find that the root of the problem lies in the scalp. Dead skin flakes separate from the scalp and fall visibly onto clothing. The dandruff can appear dry and white or oily and yellowish — depending on your scalp type. An anti-dandruff shampoo helps effectively remove flakes and prevent their recurrence. Product recommendation: Kérastase Spécifique Bain Anti-Pelliculaire eliminates both dry and oily dandruff and helps break the cycle of recurring flakes. The anti-relapse effect lasts up to eight weeks. You can read more about dandruff and how to treat it in our blog post 3 Tips Against Dandruff: What Really Works?
Shampoo for hair loss
A shampoo alone cannot stop hair loss, but it can help strengthen the roots and stimulate hair growth. To be effective, anti-hair-loss shampoos need to be used regularly for several weeks — sometimes even months. Over time, you’ll notice that your hair feels stronger and sheds less. Learn more about the causes of hair loss and how to stop it in our blog post How to Prevent Hair Loss in Women.
Shampoo for itchy scalp
When your scalp is out of balance, the right shampoo can help. Moisturizing ingredients soothe irritation and provide relief from itching. Product recommendation: Maria Nila Head & Hair Heal Shampoo has an anti-inflammatory effect on irritated scalps. It also reduces dandruff and stimulates hair growth.
For nature lovers: Shampoo without additives
Additive-free shampoos are experiencing a real boom. More and more products without silicones, sulfates, or other controversial ingredients are hitting the market, promising personalized care tailored to your hair — just like conventional shampoos. Their effectiveness comes primarily from natural ingredients such as plant-based oils and extracts.
Vegan shampoo
Vegan shampoos are free from animal-derived ingredients, helping to preserve environmental resources. Just like traditional shampoos, vegan formulas are also designed for different hair types. For those switching to vegan hair care, Maria Nila is a great choice — all products from this Swedish haircare brand are completely vegan. Learn more about vegan haircare in the BellAffair magazine.
Sulfate-free shampoo
Sulfates are added to shampoos to create foam and remove dirt more effectively. However, regular use of sulfate-based shampoos can dry out the scalp, leading to dandruff and breakage. If you’re looking for a sulfate-free shampoo, you’re on the right track. All Kevin.Murphy products are sulfate-free.
Silicone-free shampoo
Silicones coat the hair, layer after layer, making it smoother, shinier, and softer. However, they can also prevent the hair from absorbing nutrients and moisture properly, causing dryness over time. That’s why many people are switching to silicone-free shampoos. A suitable brand that offers only silicone-free shampoos is Biomed Hairtherapy. You can learn more about the benefits of silicone-free shampoos in our blog post Silicone-Free Shampoos: Are They Better for My Hair?
Top shampoo brands for beautiful hair at BellAffair
The first cheap, no-name shampoo you find at the drugstore — you can buy it, but you don’t have to. There’s a reason why certain brands have become household names in hair care. Schwarzkopf, Kérastase, L’Oréal, Goldwell, and Paul Mitchell produce professional-quality hair care products not only for home use but also for salons. Professional stylists swear by these brands, and we’re happy to recommend them:
Shampoo by Schwarzkopf Professional
The globally renowned German brand Schwarzkopf Professional has been dedicated to hair for over 100 years. In addition to hair color, hair care plays a major role. Schwarzkopf shampoos form the foundation of their product families for various hair types, sold under the Bonacure name. The bestseller is Schwarzkopf Bonacure Moisture Kick Shampoo for dry hair. There’s also the BlondME line, developed especially for blonde and bleached hair.
Shampoo by L’Oréal Professionnel
Founded in France in the early 20th century, L’Oréal Professionnel is now the world leader in cosmetics. Whether your hair is curly, colored, blonde, fine, damaged, or gray, L’Oréal shampoos are innovative products developed over decades to provide exceptional cleansing and care for every hair type.
Shampoo by Paul Mitchell
Paul Mitchell was founded in California in the early 1980s. The brand’s first products, Shampoo One and Shampoo Two, remain bestsellers to this day. From the very beginning, the company took a clear stand against animal testing. Today, many of Paul Mitchell’s shampoos are vegan, sulfate-free, and paraben-free.
Kérastase shampoo
The Kérastase hair baths are developed with input and expertise from professional hairstylists. They leave the hair perfectly cleansed and silky smooth. Among the bestsellers are Kérastase Spécifique Bain Riche Dermo-Calm for dry hair and sensitive scalps, Kérastase Blond Absolu Bain Lumière for blonde hair, and Kérastase Densifique Bain Densité for fine hair.
Goldwell shampoo
Goldwell began its success story in 1948 with the launch of the first liquid perm product — the inspiration behind the brand’s name. Today, Goldwell also offers professional hair colors, care, and styling products loved by both hairdressers and private users. Under the Goldwell Dualsenses name, the brand offers shampoos for every hair type. From damaged and color-treated to unruly hair, there’s a perfectly matched shampoo with a complementary formula for everyone.
How to use shampoo correctly
- Before washing your hair, comb it thoroughly to reduce hair breakage. This also helps remove most styling product residue.
- Then, wet your hair completely — shampoo needs water to create a rich lather and properly cleanse.
- A walnut-sized amount of shampoo is usually sufficient for optimal cleansing. Only those with very thick or long hair should use a bit more.
- Distribute the shampoo evenly throughout your hair. By massaging your scalp gently with your fingertips, you create a lather that not only cleanses the hair but also removes dead skin cells, sebum, and sweat from the scalp.
- After massaging, let the shampoo sit for a short time before rinsing it out thoroughly. Be sure to rinse completely, as any residue can make your hair look greasy and heavy again.
- Ideally, shampoo your hair twice — the first wash removes dirt and styling buildup, and the second allows nutrients to penetrate the hair fiber.
Tip: Rinse your hair with cold water — this closes the outer cuticle layer, making hair shinier and healthier. Washing your hair with water that’s too hot can stimulate the sebaceous glands, causing your hair to become oily more quickly.
- After washing, apply a conditioner or a hair mask before drying and styling your hair. Kérastase recommends washing your hair twice: the first wash cleanses, the second nourishes and allows the active ingredients to fully absorb.
