Huỳnh Thanh Tuyền, a former Vietnamese model, has gorgeous, thick, and shiny hair.

Before achieving her lush locks, Tuyền experienced significant hair loss, which she attributes partly to not reading shampoo labels and improper hair care techniques. Having overcome this challenge, she now shares her knowledge and personal experiences to help others improve their hair health.

1. Itchy, Red, or Flaky Scalp

Tuyền attributes this issue to irritants in commercial shampoos, such as sulfates, parabens, and strong fragrances. It could also be a result of sensitive scalp reacting to specific shampoo ingredients.

Solution: Opt for gentle, sulfate-free shampoos or those specifically designed for sensitive scalps. If the problem persists, consult a dermatologist.

2. Dry, Brittle, and Excessive Hair Breakage/Loss

If your hair becomes dry, brittle, or starts breaking/falling out more easily after using a new shampoo for a few weeks, it’s likely due to harsh cleansing agents stripping away natural oils. This is common with shampoos designed for oily hair.

Solution: Choose moisturizing shampoos with argan oil, shea butter, or keratin. Pair it with a conditioner and avoid washing your hair too frequently (2-3 times a week).

3. Oily Scalp and Hair Becomes Greasy Quickly

According to Tuyền, if your hair becomes greasy just 1-2 days after washing, it’s likely due to using a shampoo with excessive moisturizers (meant for dry hair) or inadequate deep cleansing for oily hair.

Solution: Opt for shampoos designed for oily hair, containing oil-control ingredients like green tea or activated charcoal. Ensure you rinse thoroughly to avoid product buildup.

4. Dull, Lifeless Hair Lacking Shine

If your hair appears dull and lacks its natural shine, it could be due to strong chemicals like drying alcohols damaging the hair cuticle or a lack of nourishing ingredients.

Solution: Choose shampoos with nourishing ingredients like vitamin E or coconut oil, or opt for formulas designed for colored hair if you dye your hair. Avoid washing your hair with very hot water.

5. No Improvement in Hair Concerns

If you’re using a therapeutic shampoo (e.g., for dandruff or hair loss) and don’t see results after 4-6 weeks, re-evaluate the ingredients.

Solution: Identify the root cause of your hair concerns and choose a shampoo with appropriate ingredients. For example, ketoconazole is effective against fungal dandruff, while internal issues like hormone imbalances may require medical intervention. If issues persist, consult a doctor to rule out underlying conditions or nutritional deficiencies.

6. Scalp and Hair Odor or Feeling of Unclean Hair

This issue could arise from inadequate rinsing of shampoo or using products with unsuitable ingredients that clog hair follicles.

Solution: Rinse your hair thoroughly with cool water to ensure no shampoo residue remains. If problems persist, switch to natural-origin shampoos.

Choosing the Right Shampoo

To select the right shampoo, first identify your hair and scalp type: oily, dry, normal, damaged, or sensitive. Develop the habit of reading shampoo labels and understanding the ingredients. Tuyền recommends avoiding sulfates and parabens if you have a sensitive scalp and opting for natural or targeted therapeutic ingredients. Consider changing your shampoo every 6-12 months to prevent hair “immunity” to a particular product. Additionally, minimize heat styling and ensure a nutritious diet rich in biotin, zinc, and iron for optimal hair health.

Evaluate the effectiveness of a shampoo after 2-4 weeks of use. If you experience excessive hair loss or persistent dandruff, consider switching products. If you notice abnormal scalp symptoms that worsen over time, consult a trichologist or dermatologist for personalized advice.

Common shampoo chemicals like silicones, sulfates, and parabens can damage hair over time, so Tuyền favors natural and organic formulas.
