What Makes Shampoo Different for Long Hair
Shampoos for long hair are formulated to cleanse without stripping moisture. They often contain lightweight moisturizers and detangling agents to reduce breakage and friction during washing.
Key Ingredients to Look For
Search for gentle surfactants like sodium cocoyl isethionate, along with humectants such as glycerin or panthenol. Proteins like hydrolyzed silk or wheat protein can help strengthen strands and reduce split ends.
How to Wash Long Hair Properly
Focus shampoo on the scalp and let the lather run through the lengths. Use lukewarm water, avoid aggressive scrubbing, and follow with a conditioner applied mid-length to ends.
