Must my shampoo and conditioner match?

No, thEy don’t have to be the same brand. In fact, according to a leading hair expert, trichologist Anabel Kingsley, it is better to mix and match products from different ranges to personalise your routine for your hair type — a trend known as ‘hair cocktailing’.

‘Choose the right shampoo for your hair texture and scalp, and a conditioner that addresses the moisture needs of the ends of your hair,’ advises Anabel.

so, if you have dry ends and oily roots, pick a shampoo for greasy hair, such as Faith in Nature tea tree shampoo (£5.49,
