Not sure which SACHAJUAN shampoo to choose? Find your main hair or scalp concern below. Each row shows the shampoo made for it, the conditioner or treatment to pair it with, and a guide with more answers. Everything in the table comes from the product pages on this store.
How do I choose the right shampoo?
Start with the concern that bothers you most. If the problem is your scalp, such as itching, flakes or oil, choose the shampoo made for the scalp. If the problem is your lengths, such as dryness, damage or dull colour, choose the shampoo made for that hair concern. Shampoo mainly cleans the scalp, so focus it there and let it rinse through the lengths.
If you are still unsure, ask yourself one simple question: what would you most like to change about your hair in the next month? Your answer usually points to the right row in the table.
Do I need the matching conditioner?
Each shampoo in the table has a conditioner or treatment made to be used with it, which keeps your routine simple. Many of the shampoo directions on this store suggest following with the matching conditioner for best results.
You can also mix. For example, if your scalp is itchy but your ends are dry, you can use a scalp shampoo with a moisturizing conditioner on the mid-lengths and ends.
What if I have more than one concern?
Pick the shampoo for your main concern, then choose the conditioner for your second one. If you are still unsure, the everyday Normal Hair Shampoo and Normal Hair Conditioner are developed for all hair textures.
Some people keep two shampoos in the shower. For example, a regular shampoo for most days and a clarifying shampoo once a week to remove buildup. That is a common and simple way to cover two needs.
What is the difference between a clarifying shampoo and a regular shampoo?
A regular shampoo is made for everyday washing and for a specific hair concern. A clarifying shampoo is made to give the scalp and hair a deeper clean and to remove buildup from oil, styling products and impurities. SACHAJUAN Clarifying Shampoo is described as ideal for weekly use, so many people use it alongside their usual shampoo rather than instead of it.
Which shampoo is best for hard water?
If you live in an area with hard water, look at the Bioshield range. Bioshield Shampoo helps protect against metal ions and mineral buildup caused by hard water, and helps reduce colour dullness caused by hard water. The matching Bioshield Conditioner helps protect against the same buildup while adding moisture. You can read more in our guide to hard water and hair.
Which shampoo is best for blonde or grey hair?
For yellow or brassy tones, Silver Shampoo helps neutralize unwanted yellow and warm tones. The directions suggest using it 1 to 2 times a week, or as needed, so many people use it alongside a gentle everyday shampoo. If your blonde or grey hair is also dry, a moisturizing conditioner can help on the other days.
Which shampoo is best for curly or wavy hair?
Choose the shampoo for your main concern, such as dryness or an irritated scalp, and focus your routine on moisture and definition. For styling, SACHAJUAN Styling Cream is made for curly and straight hair, and Ocean Mist Texturizing Hair Cream supports curl and wave definition. Our curly hair guide has more answers.
How much shampoo should I use?
Use enough to cover the scalp and work into a lather. Short hair usually needs less, and long or thick hair needs a little more. Apply it to wet hair, massage it into the scalp with your fingertips and let it run through the lengths as you rinse.
Hair Cleansing Cream is different. It is a non-lathering formula, and its directions say to use more product than a regular shampoo and leave it for 2 to 3 minutes.
How often should I wash my hair?
It depends on your scalp and your routine. People with oily roots often feel best washing every day or every other day. People with dry hair may prefer to wash less often. The best schedule is the one that keeps your scalp feeling clean and comfortable.
Can I switch shampoos?
Yes. Your needs can change with the seasons, after colouring your hair, or after a summer in the sun. When you switch, give the new shampoo a few weeks of steady use before you judge it, and change one product at a time so you can tell what is helping.
Can I try a routine before buying full sizes?
Yes. This store has discovery kits with travel sizes, such as the Scalp Care Discovery Kit, the Moisturizing Discovery Kit, the Ocean Mist Discovery Kit and the Clarifying Discovery Kit. They are a simple way to test a routine at home or take it with you when you travel.
