Best shampoo in India
10 shampoos, from the products Miyu has read the most reviews for.
How this list is made
Every product here is a shampoo, and has at least five reviews Miyu has read. They are ranked by how positively reviewers talk about them, weighted by how many reviews there are, minus how often reviewers report a problem — hair fall, irritation, dryness or things getting worse. Nobody pays to be on this list.
What suits most people may not suit your hair. Ask Miyu to check one against your own hair.
