The key to a good hair day might just be a shampoo away.
You've been fooled into thinking that your shampoo HAS to lather.
Sulfates (sodium laureth sulfate and ammonium laureth sulfate) are industrial-strength cleaning ingredients that you should avoid at all costs in your shampoo, especially if your hair is color treated. You'll be washing your $200 dye job down the drain.

If you're rinsing your hair in hard water, you should do something about it.
Shampooing with hard water can make it dry and straw-like. To combat this, use a chelating shampoo once a week. You can even install a special water filter on your shower head that costs about $70.

If you have bleached hair, you should really be using a clarifying shampoo.
Because bleached hair is more porous, it's especially important to use a clarifying shampoo on a regular basis. It will absorb unwanted yellowish tones from the environment, hair products, and sweat. A good clarifying shampoo will help dissolve that buildup.
