I’m sure you know that conditioners are very important to have moisturized hair, but did you know that the shampoo you use is just as important? Using the wrong shampoo can damage your hair by making it chip dry and hard to manage.

Let’s discuss what you should look for in a good moisturizing shampoo, two of the best ones for black hair and an easy do-it-yourself solution.

The Best Shampoos For Dry Hair

Black and African American hair is naturally dry. The shampoo that helps heal your hair will have humectants and other agents in it that make it softer and easier to comb.

• Contains no harsh sulfates.
• Ph between 5.0 and 5.5.
• Mild and non-stripping.
• Has a healthy hair additive (Aloe, Shea butter, coconut oil, etc).
