FAQs About Hair Care
How do I choose the right shampoo and conditioner?
Start by thinking about your hair's needs. If your hair feels dry, look for moisturizing formulas. If you're looking for more body, volumizing products can help. There are also shampoos and conditioners designed for curly hair, strengthening damaged hair, or everyday cleansing. If you're not sure where to start, an everyday shampoo and matching conditioner are a great foundation for most hair care routines.
Do hair care products expire?
Yes, they can expire, although most shampoos, conditioners, and styling products last quite a while when stored properly. Most people use up their everyday shampoo and conditioner long before expiration becomes a concern, but it's still a good idea to check the packaging for an expiration date or a "period after opening" symbol if one is provided.
To help your products last longer, keep the caps closed tightly and store them away from excessive heat, humidity, and direct sunlight.
If a product starts to smell different, changes color, separates, or has a different texture than when you bought it, it's usually a sign that it's time to replace it. When in doubt, trust your senses. If a product doesn't look, smell, or perform the way it used to, replacing it is the safest choice and helps ensure you're getting the best results from your hair care routine.
What order should I apply hair products?
For most people, a simple routine works best. Start with shampoo to wash away dirt, oil, and product buildup from your hair and scalp. Next, apply conditioner, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends of your hair where it tends to be driest. After rinsing and gently towel-drying, you can add any leave-in products you use.
If you use multiple products, this order is a good rule of thumb:
- Shampoo
- Conditioner
- Leave-in conditioner or detangler
- Hair oils, serums, or treatments
- Styling products like mousse, cream, gel, or hairspray
In general, apply lighter products first and heavier products last. For example, a leave-in conditioner should go on before a styling cream, and a lightweight serum should go on before a heavier oil.
You don't need every product on every wash day, either. Many people do just fine with shampoo and conditioner, while others add a leave-in treatment for extra moisture, frizz control, or curl definition. The best routine is the one that works for your hair type and is easy for you to stick with.
