Should i alternate shampoos

You do need to change shampoo, but not because your hair is "immune" to your old shampoo. But if you seem to have clumpy dandruff that you can kind of scratch off your scalp, that could be buildup. Styling products, dry shampoo and even your trusty old shampoo and conditioner if they're not thoroughly rinsed out can build up on your scalp and hair.

If you're using a shampoo and conditioner that work for your hair, whether it's oily or dry or curly or flat, they should work for a long time. You might need to swap out for a season or change completely if you move.

Otherwise, changing shampoo and conditioner is totally up to you and your level of obsession with the hair care aisle. With all this buildup from products, you may be tempted to ditch the whole thing and join the "no-poo" movement.

No shampoo, no conditioner, no styling gunk. Just the occasional cider vinegar rinse. Lots of people report loving their hair after ditching the products, but if you're not ready to go pro-no-poo, try washing less often, maybe once or twice a week, with your regular shampoo and conditioner. You have probably been told that you should change your shampoo every once in a while. The reason often given is that shampoo will become less effective if it is used consistently for a long period of time because the hair will get used to it.

While this advice is sound, the reason for it is actually different. The problem is that shampoo can leave behind byproducts that can build up on hair, weigh it down, and cause it to look dull and lifeless. Some hairstylists recommend alternating between two shampoos every few washes.

If you use a shampoo to treat a specific problem and it leaves buildup on your hair, you can alternate with a clarifying shampoo to remove excess product buildup.

If you have more than one hair problem or a specific hair type that you want to treat, you can alternate between shampoos that are designed to treat each problem. For example, if you have thick, coarse hair and dandruff, you can use a moisturizing shampoo and alternate with an anti-dandruff shampoo.
