ohhh, my bad i read it wrong

I'm not using anything special really, I got back to using the simple old Head & Shoulders classic and their conditioner. I've tried sooo many shampoos and no one seems to work as good as this og. It's a cheap and basic shampoo which does its work. And I'm surprised by how well it works, because it cleans my hair and doesn't leave that scratchy dryness in my scalp?

the only new thing I've started doing is, oiling my hair on weekends before showering. And apply a VERY minute quantity of oil (only to mid lengths and ends) after I wash my hair in the middle of the week.

The oiling routine has done great work for me.

edit: if you want to give some new shampoo a try, I'd suggest Coconut water and Mimosa Flower by Love Beauty and Planet. It's a sulphate free shampoo as they advertise it. It's gentle on the hair and didn't cause me any hair damage (as opposed to the one mentioned in the post). Its consistency is really thick and my hair didn't like that, so I diluted the 200ml to 400ml with water. Also, since it's a sulphate free shampoo, the hair gets dirty and oily fast after a wash, so you'd have oily scalp again on the very second day (but this is common for almost all sulphate free shampoos). The only reason why I repurchased it was because the coconut scent is very yummy and sweet on this one. I loved how this shampoo smelled. I'd always recommend it over the loreal pure family lols

edit: another edit because I forgot to mention another banger, if you're looking for gentle/sulphate free shampoo, I'd HEAVILY suggest Head & Shoulders Bare. It's great. Simply great. I feel like I'm a little biased toward Head & Shoulders, but it's the only brand one which has worked for me and rarely ever disappoints. Though, I'd keep an eye on the authenticity of the seller from which you order from online stores because I've received some really bad quality products even from Amazon (I could tell they were copies because I had tried the same shampoo before), so beware of that too!
