My friend Jimmy and his wife own a 10-chair salon. Every time I get my hair cut, I leave with a small basket of free shampoo samples. I'll not look a gift horse in the mouth, but the samples are now threatening to take over the small corner of the bathroom my wife has allotted for me. Certainly grateful and appreciative, I continue to accept these warm, endearing offerings knowing full well they will join the growing collection of shampoo samples from every manufacturer on the planet.
I guess the challenge is taking the time - or showers - to try every miniature bottle or blister pack I have collected. The real reason I haven't tried more of them, I believe, is that I'm quite accustom to and comfortable with the half used bottles in the corner of the shower. Candidly, it took a while to find what I like and now feel the risk (or experimentation) just may not be worth a day of crazy hair. I like the way my shampoo smells; I like they way my hair feels - not that I spend a lot of time with my hands in my hair; and, I like the way my hair behaves...yes, behaves. Sorry, I just can't think of another word that might be a bit more masculine.
Bottom line is I have spent years trying to find the best shampoo for me. My hair is thin and soft. If I lay on a pillow it immediately takes the form of the pillow the rest of the day. As a result, I prefer shampoos that add some body so my hair isn't flat from sunrise to sunset. Since its a bit on the thin side (not thinning), it needs a bit of life, as Jimmy says. I have also found that some shampoos make my hair feel dirty. I'm sure that's not the case, but they "feel" that way. Finally, I want a shampoo that wakes me up in the morning. A bit of coffee, a little exercise and an invigorating aroma is exactly what I want to start my day. I'm not into flowery or herbal smells. I don't need musk on my head either, just something that is refreshing and a bit stimulating.
So, enough of what I need. What about you? I have found, as you probably have, identifying what I want to do with my hair and what needs to be done to it, is the best place start. If you have thin(er) hair as I do, you'll start the journey by looking for shampoos that add body. This generally means a moisturizing shampoo because moisture adds life and fullness. Hydration is essential to full-bodied hair and the side effect is your hair will be much healthier for it. If you have oil hair, look for clarifying shampoos that deep clean. Many products are formulated with Zinc PCA that naturally regulates sebaceous glands and reduces scalp oil production. If you suffer from flaking or itching, shampoos that soothe and heal the scalp are available. Products formulated with menthol act as a deep cleanser to scalp pores and have a somewhat anesthetic property to reduce itching and flaking.
If your hair is thinning, products formulated with Trichogen help restore hair growth and aid in thickening. Trichogen is a complex of compounds and botanical extracts that help stimulate blood circulation, irrigate follicle pores and infuse vital nutrients. For thick, coarse or African America and ethnic hair types, many formulations now include LusterPlex, an active ingredient that helps reduce breakage, infuse moisture, smooth hair and add shine and sheen.
With that lesson behind us, it comes down to getting out there and trying a few products you believe will be best for you. Many salons receive blister packs and small, imitation containers for free shampoo samples. Manufacturers often provide salon owners with adequate samples to pass around when new products are introduced. The quantities may be limited and are often reserved for new products. If you prefer, many stylists will take a bottle from the shelf to let you "test drive", and often there are several "back bar" selections available. For those who aren't familiar with "back bar", those are the larger containers, usually a gallon, that the folks shampooing use when they wash your hair before a cut or styling.
Though a bit more effort, many hair care manufacturers offer complimentary shampoo samples. Though you'll need to pony-up shipping and handling costs (fuel and shipping are pretty expensive now), you have the luxury of considering more closely products that may be best for you and your hair. Though a call may not do the trick, many companies have sections on there websites for you to order and learn more about the products. Detailed product information is often provided, so you can compare functionality and better understand the shampoos formulation.
When looking for free shampoo samples, the goal is not necessarily to get a hand-out (that's OK), but to give you options and a better understanding of the product rather than accumulating marketing pitches. I've tried a lot of free shampoo samples but have found that a small bit of effort allowed me to find the best shampoo for me. Good luck!
