Shampoo

How do you choose your shampoo according to your hair type?

Choosing the right shampoo is the first step in caring for your hair every day. Each scalp and hair type has specific needs: some seek extra softness, others want volume, to repair weakened lengths or purify a scalp that becomes oily quickly.

To meet these needs, L’Occitane en Provence offers several haircare ranges. The Equilibre & Douceur collection gently cleanses hair while respecting the scalp’s natural balance. Repair Intense is for dry or damaged hair needing nutrition and protection. Fine hair can turn to Gentle & Balance, designed for lightness and hold. Lastly, Purifying Freshness helps purify roots and regulate excess sebum, ideal for oily hair.

Some people also prefer even gentler formulas, such as sulfate-free shampoos, which cleanse hair while better respecting the scalp and hair fibre.

Solid or liquid shampoo: what’s the difference?

Liquid shampoo remains the most common format in the bathroom. Easy to use, it spreads quickly through the hair and naturally accompanies the washing gestures. Its texture allows for effective cleansing while offering a pleasant sensorial experience.

Solid shampoo is an appealing alternative for those wishing to adopt a more eco-friendly gesture. Its compact format, without a plastic bottle, helps reduce packaging while retaining the effectiveness of classic shampoo. Easy to carry and use, it naturally fits into a care ritual attentive to both hair and the environment.

Essential gestures for caring for your hair

Shampoo prepares hair by removing impurities and excess sebum. After washing, applying a conditioner helps detangle lengths, bring softness and make styling easier. Depending on your hair’s needs, other care products can then complement these gestures to nourish, protect or enhance the hair fibre.

Some shampoos are also available in 500 mL refills—a practical solution that extends your bottle’s use while reducing packaging.
