New Zealand's Top 4 Shampoo Recommendations for Different Hair Concerns

Updated: Sep 15

Kia Ora!! Hello everyone! This is Hase, the CEO of SERENDIPITY+.






Today, I'll introduce you to recommended shampoos available at your local pharmacy, categorized by 4 different hair concerns.


1. For Dry and Frizzy Hair

2. For Itchy Scalp and Dandruff

3. For Oily and Smelly Hair

4. For Damaged Hair



We've focused on hair problems commonly caused by New Zealand's climate and water quality, carefully selecting the best shampoos to address each concern.





1. For Dry and Frizzy Hair


New Zealand's water is generally known as "hard water," containing high levels of minerals. This hard water can cause minerals to build up on the hair surface, leading to rough and frizzy hair.


Ethique Heali Kiwi Solid Shampoo



- Features:

- Contains coconut oil and cocoa butter

- Solid shampoo (shampoo bar)

- Recommended points:

- Rich in moisturizing ingredients to prevent dryness

- Contains ingredients that reduce mineral buildup from hard water

- Plastic-free and environmentally friendly


Expert Analysis:

This shampoo bar contains EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid). EDTA binds with calcium and magnesium ions in hard water, preventing these minerals from attaching to your hair. Additionally, the lauric acid in coconut oil penetrates the hair shaft, providing a moisturizing effect.




2. For Itchy Scalp and Dandruff

We've introduced four recommended shampoos for different hair concerns, all available at various locations including pharmacies in New Zealand. Choose the best shampoo based on your hair condition. Especially for those concerned about dryness or the effects of hard water, we recommend choosing a shampoo rich in moisturizing ingredients and capable of counteracting hard water.


Important Points When Choosing a Shampoo


The most important thing when choosing a shampoo is to know your hair condition well. What works for your friend may not necessarily work for you. The final result after shampooing can vary depending on how dry your hair is or how much damage it has.


Carefully observing your hair type and scalp condition and choosing a shampoo that suits you is the first step towards ideal hair care. Use the shampoos introduced in this article as a reference to find the perfect one for you.


In our next article, we'll discuss conditioners, so stay tuned! Using conditioner in pair with shampoo can lead to more effective hair care. Don't miss it!
