There are so many choices when it comes to cleaning your hair. Shampoo selections at the store can make ones head spin. But did you know that you could be wasting your money if a certain ingredient is not listed on the bottle?

Wellandgood.com says if you want your hair to actually BE clean you should look to see if salicylic acid is one of your shampoo’s ingredients. The same salicylic acid that’s used in some of the most popular over-the-counter acne creams is great at removing product buildup and excess oils on the scalp. Salicylic acid can also prevent dandruff by removing dead skin from the scalp.

Hopefully this will make your shampoo buying a bit easier. Don’t let anyone give you a hard time either if you look at every bottle at the store. We are talking about your hair!
