Dog shampoos are readily available wherever most pet products are sold. Many people prefer to bathe their dogs at home to save time as well as money. With several varieties of dog shampoos available, pet owners are sure to find the best one for their dog.

Most of us shampoo our dogs just to clean our dogs. A good shampoo for this purpose would be a gentle shampoo that lathers nicely when we bathed our dog.

If you are living in an area of the country infested with fleas and ticks, you might want to invest in flea and tick shampoo. These shampoos contain a chemical to kill the fleas on contact and prevent the ticks from getting on the dog. Some of these flea and tick shampoos have additional ingredients like colloidal oatmeal added to them to help soothe the dog’s skin.

Dogs with skin conditions such as seborrhea or dermatitis can be bathed with a medicated dog shampoo. Along with the medicine, these shampoos can also contain a conditioner to help promote a healthy coat on your dog. There are also hydrating dog shampoos for a shiny soft coat on your pet. Great smelling all natural shampoo is also beneficial for your dog’s coat. Is your dog scratching all the time? Anti-fungal, anti-itch shampoos with moisturizer can soothe the itch and promote a healthy coat.

Don’t have time to give your dog a bathe? Waterless shampoos clean your dog’s coat as they release the dirt and oils in the hair. These waterless shampoos sometimes contain healthy oils to add a silky softness and shine to a dog’s fur.

So for a soft and silky hair coat on your dog, look around and find the shampoo that works best for your dog’s needs.

How do you choose when you look at the huge variety of shampoos available in today’s marketplace?

Well your first consideration should be to determine what hair type you have. Would you classify it as greasy, normal or dry or possibly a combination of some of these types?

The good news is that whatever the condition of your hair, there are numerous versions of shampoo for your type to choose from.

Essentially shampoo’s main role is to remove residues from the hair, including any oil and dirt. Other variations such as clarifying shampoos are primarily designed to remove product build up. You can also find specially formulated shampoos for colour treated or permed hair.

You may choose to buy your hair products from your local professional hairdresser but typically they will be more expensive. However,you should find that they do tend to be of a higher quality than those found in your High Street shops. Often they last longer as well, as you find you tend to use less product when washing your hair.

We would suggest that you avoid shampoos that also contain conditioner. At Colchester Hairdresser we feel that the two should be applied separately, if you really want to see the best results in your hair condition.

Here are our guidelines for choosing the right type of shampoo for your hair:

Normal Hair:Find a shampoo with mild detergents as this will help maintain the moisture in your hair.

Fine / Limp / Oily Hair:We would always recommend using a light gentle shampoo which you should be able to use daily. Try to avoid the use of heavy shampoos containing strong detergents and overdoing it with too many products. This can often lead to your hair feeling limper than normal.

Dry / Damaged Hair:Look for shampoos that don’t contain any detergents. Choose the creamy shampoos instead of the clear ones. These should help diffuse static, detangle and smooth your hair.

Colour Treated or Permed Hair:There are lots of colour protection shampoos that both add moisture to your hair but also preserve the colour. Try to choose a moisturising shampoo, as often the ends of your hair can be dry.

Like most good things in life if you find something that works for you then stick with it….your hair will certainly appreciate it!
