While selecting the right shampoo, keep in mind, your shampoo must be sulfate-free.
How many times should you shampoo?
It depends upon your scalp type. If you have an oily scalp, then you should shampoo 3-4 times a week.
If you have a dry scalp, then 1-2 times a week is fine. For neutral scalps, 2-3 times a week is generally reasonable.
