No hair journey is linear, but in 2024, all roads lead to double-shampooing. For those new to the trend, double-shampooing is the act of washing your hair twice in the same session. The first wash will break down oils, flakes, and product build-up while the second wash fully eliminates product build-up, nourishes your strands, and gives your scalp that deep clean. (They had me at product build-up.)
As a slicked-back-bun enthusiast, my wash day is dedicated to removing all the gel and hairspray sitting on my scalp. And when wash day comes around, the two brands I use are Aussie and Head & Shoulders. They’ve been staples in my haircare routine for decades, keeping my strands and scalp hydrated and dandruff-free. I’m not alone on this double-shampoo journey—some of my favorite content creators are also committed to healthy, moisturized strands this year. I recruited Paola Matute and Soleil Callueng to show us how the Head & Shoulders Bare Shampoo has been treating their hair, and I tapped Ashlund Ortiz and Nicole Davis to test Aussie’s Moisturizing Shampoo. I could go on and on about how amazing their hair looks, but I’ll just let you see for yourself.
If you follow her social media accounts, you know that Matute takes her hair maintenance very seriously, and her gorgeous hair is proof. “I like using products that are good for my hair and scalp, and the Head & Shoulders Bare has minimal ingredients, which I love,” she says. In fact, this shampoo has only nine ingredients. Plus, it’s sulfate-free, silicone-free, and dye-free. Matute washes her hair three times a week, and before she started double-shampooing on wash day, her hair was oily by day two. “Ever since I started double-shampooing, I can go longer with my hair and scalp feeling clean even after a sweaty workout!” she says.
