Q & A

What are the main criteria for selecting the best shampoos in India for 2024?

The main criteria for selecting the best shampoos are non-toxicity, affordability (priced under Rs 400), availability (both online and offline), and suitability for different hair types.

Why is it important to choose non-toxic shampoos?

Non-toxic shampoos are essential because most commercial shampoos contain harmful chemicals like SLS and SLES, which can damage hair over time despite providing an instant shiny look.

Which shampoos are best for people with dry hair?

Shampoos with protein-based ingredients like quinoa and wheat protein, such as The Moms Company Natural Protein Shampoo, are ideal for dry hair, as they help strengthen and nourish the hair.

What is the benefit of using powdered shampoos over liquid shampoos?

Powdered shampoos are more aligned with Ayurvedic principles, containing only natural herbs and no surfactants or preservatives. They help nourish the hair deeply, though they do not lather as much and may require a bit more effort to use.

What makes powdered shampoos a good choice for damaged hair?

Powdered shampoos contain potent Ayurvedic herbs like amla, reetha, and shikakai, which are known for their healing properties. These shampoos help repair hair damage caused by chemicals and strengthen hair from the roots.

Are there any disadvantages to using shampoo bars?

While shampoo bars are eco-friendly, long-lasting, and travel-friendly, they might not be as effective for people with long hair or those who need a rich lather. However, they are still a great option for short hair or those seeking a natural, plastic-free solution.

What is the main issue with shampoos like Indulekha and Kesh King?

The main issue with Indulekha and Kesh King shampoos is that they do not fully disclose their ingredient lists. While they claim to contain herbal ingredients, the undisclosed base makes it unclear if they contain harmful chemicals like sulfates.

Which are the best shampoos for people looking for offline availability?

Offline options like Dove's Hair Therapy Sulphate-Free Shampoo, Tresemme's Pro Protect Sulphate-Free Shampoo, Wow's Red Onion Shampoo, and Mamaearth's Onion Shampoo are good choices as they are widely available and free from harsh chemicals.

Why are shampoo bars considered an eco-friendly option?

Shampoo bars are eco-friendly because they eliminate plastic waste, last longer than liquid shampoos, and are compact, making them easy to carry without the need for bulky plastic bottles.

What should you look for when choosing a shampoo to avoid hair damage?

When choosing a shampoo, always check the ingredient list for harmful chemicals like Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) and Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate (SLES). If a shampoo contains these, it should be avoided as they can damage the hair follicles.
