- "ingredients" (lemon juice, coconut oil or argan oil are first choice),
- color (the more transparent and non-artifical color the better),
- price (if I can't decide I just grab the cheapest one with a decent smell)
Currently I am using a cheap one (3,99PLN=about 1$) from LIDL and it is surprisingly good despite it being dark blue. When I use it my hair dries fast, don't get oily too soon and it gets better color - warmer brown, despite the shampoo being a "cold" color itself.
From my experience cheap doesn't always mean bad and expensive doesn't always mean good. Also the descriptions "for oily hair" and "for dry hair" don't make much difference. Both types made my hair dry or oily on random.
And shampoos for males are often better than the ones for females - the less addons and "special effects" a shampoo has the better it is for my hair, it seems.
I like Poland a lot!! Also things are so cheap there
And amazing food

Cheap.. Available, and plenty. I'm not very picky.
Smell goes optional. As long as it doesn't smell like crap or sweaty, I could care less if it's scentless, smells like chemicals, or smells like flowers. Or if it smells like food.
If I have the money, I'd take the menthol/cool shampoos. I like it when my scalp feels cold.
I have no advice on haircare despite liking my own hair.

They make menthol shampoo? Doesn't that burn?

^It cools instead. Head and shoulders has it for a reasonable price.
I used it once or twice as it's my boyfriend's favorite shampoo, felt like I was dying, horrible feeling

Yes, they make menthol shampoos - those are usually the anti-dandruff kind, and yes they do burn - or at least tingle a lot. Plus, they don't work. The only medicated shampoo that actually works is NIZORAL, it doesn't smell particularly bad, and it doesn't burn the scalp, either. But it is expensive.
