So whether you want to boost thin tresses or keep your colour-treated hair looking vibrant for longer, we have hand-picked the best shampoo and conditioners for all hair woes below.

Best shampoo picks

Hair that needs moisture:

Enriched with pure drops of botanical oils, including African macadamia oil, Dove’s Advanced Hair Series Pure Care Dry Oil Shampoo is a heaven-sent for hair that needs extra moisture.

Gently cleansing and nourishing hair leaving a weightless finish, the unique formulation quickly penetrates into the hair strand to nourish the hair internally as well as on the surface, helping to transform moisture-lacking strands into soft, shiny, healthy-looking hair.

 Hair prone to flyaways:

If flyaways are ruining your style, we suggest adding the TRESemmé Keratin Smooth range to your hair care routine. The salon-quality TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Shampoo nourishes each strand, leaving it feeling gorgeously soft and manageable.

For best results, use in conjunction with the TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Conditioner.

Colour-treated hair:

After spending hours (not to mention the money) getting your hair colour-treated, you want your hair to maintain its vibrancy right? So we suggest switching your current wash and care routine to one formulated especially with colour-treated tresses in mind.

Our top pick is the TRESemmé Colour Revitalise Shampoo and Conditioner. This gentle formula is enriched with green tea, rosemary and sunflower extracts to nourish and infuse hair with moisture. Hair will be left soft, manageable and rich with long-lasting colour vibrancy.

Hair that needs volume:

Many people leave all their volume boosting to the end of their hair routine, relying solely on styling products, but little do they know, bouncy voluminous hair starts in the shower. So if you want to give your tresses extra oomph we recommend adding the TONI&GUY Volume Addiction Shampoo to your bathroom cabinet immediately.

This lightweight hair shampoo gently cleanses hair without weighing it down. We suggest following up with the TONI&GUY Volume Addiction Conditioner.

Curly hair:

It’s no secret that those with curly hair often require the a lot moisture. Which is why the rich botanical blend of coconut milk and aloe vera in the TRESemmé Botanique Nourish & Replenish Shampoo makes it a must-have.

The paraben and silicone-free formula won’t weigh down or strip hair of its natural moisture. Bring out the natural beauty of your locks by following with the TRESemmé Botanique Nourish & Replenish Conditioner.

For dandruff:

Dandruff can cause unnecessary embarrassment and can have a real impact on your self-confidence. Stop those pesky white flakes in their tracks with Organics Anti-Dandruff 2in1 Shampoo.

Enriched with organic green tea which is well known for its reviving and invigorating benefits, this 2in1 will help to reduce dandruff while gently conditioning your hair and scalp.

Hair with damage caused by heat and styling:

Whether damage is caused by excessive styling or the outside elements, it’s important to act fast to prevent further harm! To strengthen and fortify your hair, reach for the TONI&GUY Damage Repair range.

TONI&GUY Damage Repair Shampoo strengthens and fortifies hair in need of repair. For best results, use in conjunction with the TONI&GUY Damage Repair Conditioner.

Heat-styled hair:

A hair shampoo that deeply nourishes and replenishes heat damaged hair? Yes, that’s right. The TRESemmé Thermal Recovery Shampoo with aloe and almond extract restores essential nutrients for vibrancy and shine and is ideal for those who regularly heat style their hair.

Remember, when styling your hair with heat, use TRESemmé Heat Defence Styling Spray for heat protection up to 230 degrees celsius.
