I don't know much about shampoos, just that I heard that the product that is used to make it foam is kinda bad for hair, I'm sorry I don't know the name of the product used. But I guess you could try to find something that has the least chemicals possible, like something more natural for your scalp.

Sulfates are what makes your shampoo "bubbly" but they are not all equally terrible. The List Gabby compiled is pretty much all the bad ones but just look out for the words Sodium Laureth and Sodium Lauryl Sulfates - those are the real bad guys that can dry hair and stip color.

Some good brands out there are Pureology and Enjoy.  :)
