f there’s one thing every Gen Z hustler in Delhi cares about, it’s hair that doesn’t betray you in the humidity, pollution, or caffeine-fuelled nights. Picking the right shampoo can feel like navigating a jungle — but fear not, because I’ve done the legwork. Here’s what to look for and which ones hit the mark.

What to Check Before You Buy

• Hair concern: Is it hair fall, dandruff, damage, dryness, colour treated, frizz? Know yours.
• Ingredients: Sulphates, parabens, silicones — do you want to avoid them or are you okay with mild ones? Herbal/Ayurvedic ingredients like amla, bhringraj, onion, kelp work well for many.
• Scalp type: Oily, dry, sensitive? Sometimes what damages your style is what’s happening at your roots.
• Frequency of wash: Daily washes need gentler formulas; once-a-week clarifiers can be stronger.
