How do I use Alberto Balsam shampoo and conditioner?
Generally, you massage shampoo into wet hair to build a lather, rinse thoroughly, then apply conditioner mainly to the mid-lengths and ends before rinsing well. Always read the label and follow the instructions provided, as directions can differ between products. Avoid contact with the eyes and rinse thoroughly if any product gets into them.
Are Alberto Balsam products suitable for coloured or chemically treated hair?
Many everyday shampoos and conditioners can be used on coloured or treated hair, but suitability depends on the specific formula. Check the individual product's label and description for guidance, and consider a gentler or colour-care option if your hair is chemically treated. If you are unsure, ask your hairdresser or a pharmacist.
Can I use Alberto Balsam if I have a sensitive scalp?
Alberto Balsam products are cosmetic hair care items intended for external use on the hair and scalp. If you have a sensitive scalp, eczema, psoriasis or a known allergy, review the ingredient list on the pack and consider a patch test first. If irritation occurs or a scalp condition persists, stop use and speak to your pharmacist or GP.
