Most of us spend a good amount of time and effort on our hair. Whether it’s visits to the salon for a cut and color or extensions or nourishing your hair with a healthy diet and vitamins and other supplements. But are your hair care products up to par and doing what they’re supposed to?

In this article, The Art of Beauty digs into the crème de la crème of luxury hair care products from shampoos to moisturizers and more. 

How Much Does Shampoo Really Matter?

The truth is what shampoo you use may make a bigger difference than you realize. A lot of how our hair looks and feels comes down to genetics. We can’t change mom and dad — so we’ve got what we’ve got. Another factor is the hairstyle you choose and how much you do to your hair. 

Using heat from a hair dryer or curler, and applying products to dye, straighten, or curl can all have an impact on your hair as well. That doesn’t mean you need to stop doing those things of course — it just means you should take care to limit the damage and repair when possible. Even if you go au naturale and just cut and brush your hair, the shampoo you use can still make a big difference. 

The moral of the story:  Know your hair and consider what you do to it that may create damage. Consider all of that when choosing your shampoo and conditioner and be willing to splurge a little to give your hair the treat it deserves. 

Which Luxury Shampoo is Right for You?

We think the best way to shop for a luxury shampoo (and often other hair care products) is to begin with your basic hair type and condition. To that end, we’ve listed the choice of luxury shampoos and other products for each type below.

Hair Care and Shampoo for Dry or Damaged Hair 

Most of us have a least a little damage to our hair — so if your hair does not fall in one of the other categories below, we suggest these hair care products should be your go-to. Biologique Recherche’s first-class shampoo formulation guarantees TLC for your dry or damaged hair with plant-based ingredients which also restore strength and shine. If your scalp is especially sensitive and irritated – go with Shampooing Traitant Dermo-Apaisant.

Hair Care and Shampoo for Oily Hair

Oily hair and greasy scalp can be not only a hassle to keep clean it can also be a bit embarrassing, especially when dandruff, pollutants, or other particles cling to it. Get control over that oily hair and scalp with Shampooing Traitant Sebo-Reequilibrant. It rebalances the scalp and removes the oiliness from the hair without overdrying and reduces the sebum rate. Lotion P50 Capillaire is a perfect compliment as it will help purify your scalp and prevent oiliness from returning while it keeps sebum buildup at bay. 

Hair Care and Shampoo for Aging/Thinning Hair 

Our bodies change as we age, and of course that includes the scalp and hair. But not to worry. There are some superb hair care products and shampoos on the market expressly designed for those with aging and/or thinning hair. These specialized hair care products from Revitalash and Valmost will lavish your hair with an ideal blend of plant-derived extracts in paraben and Phthalate-free formulations.
