Normal hair type: Choose a shampoo that is made specifically for normal hair. Use the shampoo twice to three times in a week depending on how you are exposed to environmental pollutants.

Oily hair type: Choose a shampoo that has a mild detergent base. Use them regularly to wash off the dirt caused due to excess sebum (oil) production from the scalp.
