You know that feeling when something just isn’t working anymore, but you keep holding on because... comfort? Yeah. That might be happening with your shampoo. 🧴
If your hair has been acting off lately—greasy, dry, dull, flaky—your shampoo could be the one sending mixed signals. And let’s be real: no one needs that kind of relationship.
Here’s Why Your Shampoo Could Be Messing With Your Scalp:
It Has Sulfates (and It’s Too Harsh)
Sulfates are common cleansing agents that create that satisfying lather—but they can strip your scalp of natural oils, leaving it dry, tight, and itchy.
Look for sulfate-free formulas that still cleanse without causing chaos.
It’s Not the Right pH for Your Scalp
Yes, pH matters. Shampoos that are too alkaline can throw off your scalp’s natural pH balance, leading to dryness, irritation, or oil overproduction.
You Might Be Sensitive to Fragrance or Additives
That dreamy tropical scent? It might be the culprit. Some people are sensitive to synthetic fragrance, preservatives, or certain botanical extracts in hair products.
You’re Overwashing (or Underwashing)
Too much washing can strip your scalp; not enough can lead to buildup, clogged follicles, and flakes. It’s about finding your just right schedule based on your hair type.
Your Scalp Needs a Reset
Sometimes your scalp just needs a detox from product buildup, oil, and environmental stress. If you’ve been using dry shampoo on repeat (no judgment), this could be your sign.
