This article will explore how people with different hair types can choose the right shampoo for them from a scientific perspective, and support these recommendations with detailed data and research.
Classification of hair types
Scientists and beauty experts usually classify hair types into the following categories:
Each hair type has its own unique needs, so when choosing a shampoo, you need to adjust to these needs.
Oily hair
People with oily hair tend to have greasy and heavy hair due to their strong sebaceous glands. According to a 2016 study in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, about 30% of adults have oily hair.
Recommended:
- Shampoos with oil-control ingredients, such as tea tree oil and lemon extract.
- Lightweight formulas without excessive moisturizing ingredients.
- For example: Neutrogena T/Sal Therapeutic Shampoo, Klorane Oil Control Shampoo.
Recommended products:
Oalen's oil-control shampoo, which contains natural tea tree oil and lemon extract, effectively controls oil secretion while keeping the scalp refreshed.
Dry hair
People with dry hair have less oil secretion from their scalp, and their hair is prone to dryness, split ends, and breakage. A 2018 study in the International Journal of Trichology pointed out that about 25% of people have dry hair.
Recommended:
- Shampoos with moisturizing ingredients, such as glycerin, vitamin E, and coconut oil.

Damaged hair is usually caused by chemical treatments, heat treatments or environmental factors. A 2015 study in the Journal of Cosmetic Science found that more than 50% of people will experience damaged hair at some stage.
