“Not all custom shampoos are created equal,” Mendez points out. “If you’re not sure how to answer your hair questions, talk to your stylist.” She also recommends considering your lifestyle and how often you wash your hair.
✔️ Fill out our survey: Both Mendes and Butler highly recommend that you fill out our survey before ordering your customized hair care routine. “Is your hair long, short, colored, straight, curly, gray, thin, thick, dry, oily, etc.? All these factors will determine which custom product is right for you. It plays an important role in determining what you want and what you want. Make sure the questionnaire addresses your specific hair concerns (i.e. color protection, smoothness, volume, hydration, etc.) to find out,” recommends Mendez.
✔️ Pay attention to scalp oil: When choosing a formula, both Mendes and Butler point out how important it is to address scalp oil levels. For example, “If you have an oily scalp, you need a more cleansing formula,” says Butler.
✔️ Decide if you need a subscription service: Many custom shampoos are offered through a subscription service. “Consider whether you want to try a product just once or subscribe for regular deliveries, and review your selection before ordering,” Butler advises.
✔️ Check for ingredient allergies or sensitivities: Avoid ingredients to which you are allergic or sensitive. Mendez recommends contacting the brand’s customer service to verify ingredients if necessary.
