Shampoo Selection

Shampoo is used to remove dirt, oils, and product buildup from your hair.
Conditioners are meant to add shine, protect hair from drying out and allow for easier combing.

Here is a list of our recommendations based on different hair types:

1. Coarse, curly hair
Curly hair is almost always dry because oils produced in the scalp don't travel as easily down the hair shaft as they do with straight hair.

Deep Moisturising Shampoo works best for this hair texture. This shampoo contains ingredients that coat the hair shaft, trapping water inside.

Conditioners: If you have Coarse, Curly hair it is important that you condition every time you shampoo. Look for a Deep Moisturising Conditioner and use an Intensive Deep Repair Mask once a week.

Extra tip: It is best not to wash curly hair every day. You'll only dehydrate hair and make it less manageable. It is also a great idea to let curls dry naturally as hair dryers tend to dry hair out even more. Use Osmo Curl Fluid on damp hair to define curls.

2. Fine, oily, or limp hair
Fine hair is most susceptible to looking 'oily' and can get this way after only one day. Use Osmo Extreme Volume Shampoo which is suitable for daily or frequent washing. The secret with this hair shampoo lies in a body-building ingredient called panthenol. Hair experts swear that panthenol penetrates the hair cuticle making each strand thicker.

Conditioners: Not all people with fine hair need conditioners. If you find you can easily comb out hair after washing without a conditioner you can skip it. If you need to use conditioner, opt for Osmo Extreme Volume Conditioner but don't let the product touch your scalp. Massage in from mid-shaft down and rinse thoroughly to leave hair soft and manageable.

Extra tip: Consider using Osmo Essence Repair Spray. This tends to be more light-weight and you can use a very small amount which won't weigh the hair down.

3. Coloured Hair
To protect coloured hair it is recommended that you use the Osmo Essence Colour Mission Shampoo. This shampoo contains UV filters to prevent your colour from fading as well as Vitamin E to maintain vibrancy and shine. We suggest washing hair every other day and to concentrate on cleaning the scalp.

Conditioners: Use the Osmo Essence Colour Mission Conditioner only on the mid-shaft to ends of hair. This Conditioner will maintain the vitality of your hair while strengthening each cuticle. Avoid conditioners that contain silicone, as they tend to strip colour.

4. Dry, damaged hair
Avoid clear shampoos and go straight for the creamy ones. Use Osmo Deep Moisturising Shampoo which contains essential oils of Patchouli and Ylang Ylang. This shampoo will give your hair moisture without weighing it down. Restores health to your hair to provide shiny, silky results.

Conditioners: Moisture is key. You'll want to look for an ultra-moisturising conditioner such as Osmo Deep Moisturising Conditioner and follow up with Intensive Deep Repair Mask treatments to repair and strengthen damaged hair.

The Osmo Deep Moisturising Repair Spray is also another option for a leave-in moisturizing spray that will condition your hair without weighing it down.

5. Normal Hair
If you are one of those people that has been blessed with hair that doesn't require colouring, straightening or perming then you will want a shampoo that will simply clean excess dirt and oils out of your hair while keeping it looking shiny and healthy. Opt for Osmo Blinding Shine Shampoo to purify and revitalize while hydrating and nourishing. This shampoo contains essential oils of cedarwood and rosemary which guarantees you yummy results.

Conditioners: Follow up with Osmo Blinding Shine Conditioner for ultimate shine and frizz free results.
